As a company we use quite an array of applications and plugins in post-production to achieve the best results and finish to every wedding film we produce. For many years now we have done this by using top-end Apple computers and using Final Cut Pro as our main editing platform.

Apple announced that there new version of Final Cut Pro is being released through the App Store in June and this is very exciting as it has been completely rebuilt from the ground up.

At this point we don’t know all the features and have only been given a taster. For wedding video editing it has several noticeable advantages straightaway, it uses all the technology available in new macs to make editing many times quicker. It has also improve image Color corrections and matching, stabilisation of shots and checking audio levels and peaking (then making changes) is now even easier.

There are many clever new features, yet a major advantage is the new organisation and quick browsing of clips on import. Final Cut Pro now has face-detection so it can tell how many people are in a shot and even the type of shot it is (distance from the subject).

We will be purchasing Final Cut Pro X for all our systems in June, lets hope it helps us in producing even higher quality wedding videos.
