   Final Cut Pro X 10.1

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Apple has released [1]Final Cut Pro X 10.1 with an extra serving of
   improvements and fixes to prepare for the imminent release of the Mac
   Pro. The update optimizes playback and rendering when using the Mac
   Pro's dual graphics processors (GPUs), and it paves the way for using
   4K monitors with added support for monitoring video on the ultra-high
   pixel displays as well as creating titles, transitions, and generators
   in 4K resolution. Final Cut Pro X 10.1 also now enables you to collect
   multiple projects and events into libraries (for more on transitioning
   projects and events to libraries, see this [2]Apple support FAQ). The
   release also makes it easier to move clips with transitions in the
   timeline and lift them out of the Primary Storyline with transitions
   preserved, clips can now be trimmed completely out of a timeline when
   using the rolling trim function, and importing AVCHD video will no
   longer result in 5.1-channel surround sound audio being mixed down to
   stereo. ($299.99 new in the [3]Mac App Store, free update, 2.20 GB,
   [4]release notes)
