   Final Cut Pro X 10.3.3, Compressor 4.3.2, and Motion 5.3.2

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Apple has updated its lineup of professional video editing apps,
   releasing [1]Final Cut Pro X 10.3.3, [2]Compressor 4.3.2, and [3]Motion
   5.3.2. Both Final Cut Pro X and Compressor deal with a number of
   DVD-related issues, resolving a bug that rendered Share to DVD
   unresponsive, improving the font quality of DVD menu and chapter
   titles, improving image quality when creating a DVD, and adding
   enhanced DVD User dialog messages with links to documentation.

   Final Cut Pro X 10.3.3 fixes issues with updating older libraries, adds
   the capability to expand the width of the Inspector for viewing and
   adjusting effect parameters, ensures that Reveal in Browser correctly
   displays the location of the original clip, and adds more color options
   in the Role Editor. Compressor 4.3.2 brings command line options for
   monitoring job status, improves watermark image quality, fixes sync
   issues for audio transcoded to AC-3, adds support for animated PNG and
   animated GIF image sequences, and adds an option for adding health
   warning text (required by Indian law) when creating an iTunes Store
   package.

   Motion 5.3.2 addresses a number of stability issues, including when
   scaling shapes from or to zero, when working with duplicated rigged
   filters and behaviors, when moving the cursor across markers during
   playback, and when using keyboard shortcuts while a keyframe is
   selected. It also adds a Fill filter that enables you to fill an entire
   layer without requiring separate layer and mask, and ensures that
   missing plug-ins are identified correctly when opening a project

   All three video apps now require a minimum of OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan.
   (All three apps receive free updates. Otherwise, [4]Final Cut Pro X,
   $299.99 new, 2.91 GB, [5]release notes, 10.11.4+; [6]Compressor, $49.99
   new, 412 MB, [7]release notes, 10.11.4+; [8]Motion, $49.99 new, 2.26
   GB, [9]release notes, 10.11.4+)
