   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Apple has updated its lineup of professional video editing apps,
   releasing [1]Final Cut Pro X 10.2.2, [2]Compressor 4.2.1, and [3]Motion
   5.2.2. Both Final Cut Pro X and Motion fix render errors that could
   occur when using reflective materials with 3D text, improve performance
   when loading text styles, and correctly export Motion Title templates
   with published text layout parameters. Final Cut Pro X also adds native
   support for Sony XAVC-L and Panasonic AVC-Intra 4:4:4 encoding up to 4K
   resolution, adds the capability to export interlaced H.264 video, and
   enables asset management systems to include a library backup file when
   sharing from Final Cut Pro.

   Compressor 4.2.1 fixes a bug that could cause a crash after migrating a
   user account to another system, restores the capability to use markers
   for i-frame placement in H.264 exports, and improves audio and video
   sync of closed captions and subtitles. ([4]Final Cut Pro, $299.99 new,
