  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nWhile not nearly as popular these days as Adobe Premiere and Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve, Apple’s Final Cut Pro is still chugging along with a loyal group of editors who might be a bit stubborn, but not missing out on too much to be honest, as the NLE is still quite useful today.\n\nThis latest update for Final Cut Pro fixes a few bugs, improves startup speed, and offers a nice glimpse into how FCP is evolving as Apple continues to encourage users to learn and use the Magnetic Timeline.\n\nHere’s what you need to know.\n\n* * *\n\n### Apple Final Cut Pro 12.2\n\n\n\n\nReleased just last week, Apple has rolled out its latest update for Final Cut Pro: 12.2, with some enhancements and fixes. There’s nothing too major here, as the focus is on improving workflow and startup speeds, as well as encouraging more use of the Magnetic Timeline.\n\nHere’s the full list of enhancements and fixes included in Final Cut Pro 12.2:\n\n  * Learn to edit with speed and precision in the Magnetic Timeline with an all-new video tutorial.\n  * Reduces startup time when opening Final Cut Pro with many Audio Units installed.\n  * Fixes an issue that sometimes caused Final Cut Pro to quit when adjusting zoom levels in the timeline with Beat Detection enabled.\n\n\n\nYou can find more info on Apple’s page here on how to download and install.\n\n### Final Cut Pro Magnetic Timeline\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s perhaps more interesting than just the few fixes and improvements, though, is Apple’s latest tutorial that goes over how to edit with speed and precision in the Magnetic Timeline.\n\nDesigned to replace traditional track-based editing with an intuitive trackless design that aims to streamline editing and let editors focus more on creative decisions, the main elements of the Magnetic Timeline are laid out in this new video tutorial, which goes over the primary storyline,connected clips, and how to use the position tool and fill gaps.\n\nYou can check out this full tutorial and go over more steps in the guide on Apple’s website here.",
