Conan editors cut up Apple's Final Cut Pro X

Apple has continued its worldwide video editing mastery as the company released Final Cut Pro X this week. 

The non-linear video editing software provides a variety of new features to users, including a Magnetic Timeline, Inline Precision Editor and an Auditions feature.

“Final Cut Pro X is the biggest advance in Pro video editing since the original Final Cut Pro," Apple Senior Vice President of Worldwide Product Marketing Philip Schiller said. “We have shown it to many of the world’s best Pro editors, and their jaws have dropped."

The software gained popularity following the 2001 release of "The Rules of Attraction" as the film's production team used Final Cut Pro 3 to edit the studio motion picture. Final Cut Pro earned a Primetime Emmy Engineering Award for its impact on the television industry and August 2002.

Film editors have utilized Final Cut Pro in major motion pictures including "Napoleon Dynamite," "Happy Feet" and Academy Award-nominee "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."

“I’m blown away by what Apple has done with Final Cut Pro,” "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" film editor Angus Wall said. “Final Cut Pro X is incredibly modern and fast, but most importantly it lets you focus on telling your story in the most creative way, while it actively manages all of the technical details.”

Final Cut Pro X has received mixed customer reviews and a Conan O'Brien skit thus far.

"Apple just released a new version of their famous editing software Final Cut Pro," O'Brien told the audience during Thursday's episode of "Conan," "but apparently it's so different from the last version of Final Cut, video and film editors all over Hollywood are having a hard time adjusting to it."
