It was this time last year during NAB 2011 that Randy Ubillos, Apple’s chief architect of video applications, took the Supermeet stage and officially showcased Final Cut Pro X to the general public with great excitement and expectation. Fast-forward one year and a plethora of disgruntled users later, and the overall FCPX response has been anything but pleasant.
Quick News – Apple has just rolled out the latest round of updates for Final Cut Pro X, Motion and Compressor, updating each to versions 10.0.4, 5.0.3, and 4.0.3 respectively. The minor tweaks are aimed at improving overall stability, performance, and compatibility between the post production tools, all of which are listed below:
It may have taken a bit longer than many would have liked, actually 7 months but who’s counting, for Apple to make good on their initial promises of bringing a number of absent features to the much criticized Final Cut Pro X. But, as they say, it’s better late than never…
With their latest update, Version 10.0.3, FCPX users can now enjoy:

The limited time offer ends this Wednesday, November 23rd. Check out the video below to see what ShrinkRay-X can do to your footage:
We know you’ve wanted to move your FCP7 to FCPX, but what about the other way around?
That’s exactly what Intelligent Assistance has enabled with their new XML translation software by the name of X27 (10 to 7), catchy right? This plugin takes the Final Cut Pro X project XML and converts it into a FCP7 friendly format, granting the ability to not only import FCPX projects into FCP7, but also suites such as Color and Adobe Premiere Pro.
With all the backlash and consumer criticism surrounding Apple’s revamp to their professional video editing software, Final Cut Pro X, it was only a matter of time before we would start to see some type of changes and additions. Today, we received such news with the announcement of the first major FCPX update, version 10.0.1. This new update, or shall we say upgrade, brings with it some critical new features such as:
