Welcome
Jake Bickerton Editor
Apple has ripped up the rule book once more with the highly anticipated release of Final Cut Pro X. There’s been a real clamber to get hold of the fully re-engineered, hugely competitively priced editing system since it was first previewed at the Final Cut User Group in Las Vegas, back in April. To welcome its arrival, Icons lifts the lid on Final
Cut Pro X to reveal the many highlights of what’s inside Apple’s revolutionary editing software. We also talk to one of the first editors to have got their hands on a copy. As well as shining the spotlight on Final Cut Pro X, Icons also profiles some of the many global productions combining the editing power of Final Cut Pro with Blackmagic Design’s hardware and software products.
Blackmagic Design’s top-end colour grading
software DaVinci Resolve is an ideal accompanying product to Final Cut Pro, bolting on a complete grading toolset. Icons details productions from North America and across Europe that have been built on the pairing of Apple and Blackmagic Design products. Elsewhere in Icons, there’s an in-depth feature on the need for ongoing training to keep on top of the ever changing world of post production products, and in particular the many new features crammed into Final Cut Pro X. There’s also a feature looking at the changing face of post production technology over the last decade and practical advice on how to build a fully featured, high speed editing system at a cost-conscious price point.
