Apple Updates Final Cut Pro X, Motion & Compressor

Last week, on Dec. 10, along with the release of the new Mac Pro, Apple updated Final Cut Pro X, Motion and Compressor. The changes all seem to be bug fixes and I don’t see a reason not to upgrade.

Before upgrading, make sure your system is compatible here.

Also, Apple and I both recommend making a backup of current libraries before upgrading… just in case.

Here’s what’s new.
