💃 Apple’s Final Cut Pro 11 is Finally Here!

Apple’s flagship Final Cut Pro video editing software is getting a major upgrade!

Final Cut Pro has been version 10 since 2011, but after 13 years, Apple is finally ready to debut Final Cut Pro 11.

And this new version comes power-packed with many AI-powered features!

Top of the list is Magnetic Mask, which easily crops people and objects out of video without relying on a green screen.

Imagine the creative possibilities as you pair this feature with color correction and video effects, giving you unmatched control to stylize your projects.

Then there’s Transcribe to Captions, which adds text to Final Cut’s timeline using Apple’s in-house large language model (LLM).

Another big topline feature touches on Apple’s struggling mixed-reality headset.

Following the ability to capture Spatial Video on the latest iPhones, you can now edit that content directly within Final Cut.

You can color-correct your footage, add effects, and even adjust the depth positioning of titles. Isn't that great?😀

The new Final Cut Pro 11 is also designed to save you time.

With the Magnetic Timeline, you can rearrange clips swiftly while keeping the audio perfectly in sync with the video.

Plus, Apple says Final Cut Pro 11 can play back more simultaneous 4K and 8K ProRes video streams.

But wait—there’s even more!

  • Apple is also launching Final Cut Pro for iPad 2.1, along with the highly anticipated Pro 11.

  • The touch-based interface will receive significant enhancements to light and color tools and an improved workflow experience.

Want to try all these for yourself? The software is available to download now.

Existing users will be thrilled to know that Final Cut Pro 11 is available as a free update.

However, after a 90-day trial period, new customers must pay $300 to download it from the Mac App Store.

🤩 OpenAI’s Autonomous AI Agent is Coming!

OpenAI is about to shake up the AI world with its autonomous AI agent.

The AI agent is code-named “Operator,” and it’s expected to be able to control computers and perform tasks independently —exciting, right?

But is anyone really surprised by this news?

The shift towards AI systems that can actively interact with computer interfaces instead of merely processing text and images has been gaining momentum.

And all the major AI companies have promised autonomous AI agents. 

Just recently, Anthropic unveiled its “computer use” capability, while Google is gearing up to introduce its own version this December.

Furthermore, OpenAI has hyped up the possibility of this tech recently.

A few weeks ago, in a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” forum, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that they’d have better models, but what will feel like the next giant breakthrough will be agents.

Meanwhile, Kevin Weil, OpenAI's chief product officer, boldly stated at a press event last month that “2025 is going to be the year that agentic systems finally hit the mainstream.”

But when exactly can we expect to see this AI agent?

According to Bloomberg, OpenAI plans to release “Operator” in January as a research preview and developer tool.

However, details about when it might be available to consumers remain hush-hush.
