Apple Final Cut Pro 5 Upgrade from Final Cut Pro (Mac Only)
The first choice for professional editors everywhere, Final Cut Pro 5 delivers powerful and precise editing tools that work with virtually any format, from DV and native HDV to fully uncompressed HD. Final Cut Pro is built for speed, with a real-time multistream effects architecture, multicam editing tools and advanced color correction. Intuitively integrated with other Apple professional video and audio applications, Final Cut Pro gives you more creative options and technical control than ever before.
The Final Cut Pro 5 advantage is clear: High-performance digital nonlinear editing, support for virtually any video format and facility-class extensibility and interoperability. Whether you’re working solo or collaborating with a team, Final Cut Pro delivers the real-time power and flexibility you need to tackle any project.
Edit Anything
With support for virtually any video format all in one application, Final Cut Pro 5 lets you edit anything from DV and SD to DVCPRO HD and fully uncompressed 10-bit high-definition video. Work with new formats such as native HDV (long-GOP MPEG2) and 50 Mbps IMX.
Tapeless Workflow
Capture and output video frames accurately using professional decks, or go tapeless with built-in Panasonic P2 media support. View and browse P2 devices on the Macintosh, then copy the files you need and start cutting. Works with DVCPRO, DVCPRO 50 and DVCPRO HD.
Multicam Editing
Simultaneously view and cut from multiple sources in real time, thanks to new multicam editing for DV, SD and HD. Group up to 128 sources together into multi-clips, then add or subtract cameras at any time for maximum flexibility. Switch from shot to shot, with or without effects, and auto-assemble sequences based on time-of-day timecode.
Dynamic RT Extreme
Save time with real-time effects processing that scales with your system for DV to fully uncompressed HD. Dynamic RT adjusts image quality and frame rate on the fly for optimal playback and scales performance as CPU power increases. You define Dynamic RT preferences for total control.
Multichannel Audio
Final Cut Pro 5 is fully compatible with MCP (Mackie Control Protocol) devices, so you can use external audio control surfaces to edit and manipulate audio more efficiently. Mix and record multiple fader automation simultaneously and enjoy two-way communication between your system and the control surface.
Workgroup Editing
Capture once, save time and share media with multiple editors using a consolidated storage pool powered by Xsan. Improved Media Management Tools provide support for reconnecting and managing file across large Xsan environments, budgeting your real-time effects according to available Xsan bandwidth.
