Of course, the real competitors to Final Cut Pro are the likes of Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. Time will tell whether Final Cut Pro 11 manages to bring the fight to their doorstep, but with its recent propose acquisition of Pixelmator, we've already speculated that Apple seems to be making major moves against Adobe right now.

There's a big new update to Final Cut Pro, a smaller one for Logic Pro, and an ever-increasing number of rumors about an Apple Home Hub, all on the AppleInsider Podcast.

It’s been 13 years since Apple released Final Cut X. That’s just over half of the video-editing software’s entire lifespan, having celebrated its 25th

Final Cut Pro for iPad is also getting a few new updates. The AI-enabled “enhance light and color” tool that was initially released in Final Cut Pro 10.8 for the Mac is making its way to the iPad app. It is the fastest way to quickly improve the color, contrast, and overall tonality of your footage.

Final Cut Pro 11 is now available as a free update for existing users. If you don't already have the app, it'll set you back $299.99 from the Mac App Store. Compared to Adobe's video editing app Premier Pro, the one-time purchase might be a better option than a subscription, though some users might prefer the lower initial fee.

In addition to these updates, Apple refreshed its Logic Pro and other creative apps, adding new features across the board. The updated Final Cut Pro is free for existing users, but if you’re new, it’ll cost $299.99 on Mac or $4.99/month on iPad. Ready to upgrade your editing game?

The nifty new automatic masking-plus-motion-tracking feature in Final Cut Pro 11 looks impressive. Apple also updates the iPad and iPhone apps.
