Final Cut Pro X is the latest version of Apple’s pro non-linear editor. Built to meet the needs of today’s creative editors, it breaks free from the restrictions of old-fashioned timeline tracks. A dynamic editing interface lets you experiment freely while working with extraordinary speed and precision.

Final Cut Pro X features 64-bit processing, which means it can natively handle high definition footage, display effects without rendering and, in general, just do everything faster.

These new lights are smaller, lighter and use less energy than traditional tungsten lights. They can run on AC power or Sony camcorder batteries. LED lights are safer than traditional lights because they don’t get hot and don’t require bulbs to be changed. Built-in dimmers give you more control of your lighting.
