A/V output
You can now connect your Mac to an external video monitor for audio and video (A/V)
output. In addition to showing how video and audio look and sound on an NTSC/PAL or HD
broadcast monitor, this allows you to test output with more sophisticated devices such as
vectorscopes and waveform monitors.
A/V output is available only with OS X Lion 10.7.2 or later and requires compatible third-
party video interface hardware and software. FireWire DV devices are not supported. For
more information, contact the device manufacturer or go to the Final Cut Pro Resources
webpage.
For more information, see
Play media on an external display in Final Cut Pro.
Manual relinking of clips to media files
Now you can manually relink event clips and project clips to media files. Manual relinking
gives you more control over your post-production workflow.
For more information, see
Relink clips to media files in Final Cut Pro.
Other notable features
• Layered graphics files, such as Adobe Photoshop (PSD) files, can now be edited so that
each layer appears as a connected clip in the timeline. See Edit layered graphics files.
• Advanced Keyer controls are now available. See Use chroma keys in Final Cut Pro.
• Keyframing controls are improved in the Video and Audio Animation editors. See Intro to
video keyframing in Final Cut Pro.
What’s new in Final Cut Pro 10.0.1
Final Cut Pro 10.0.1 includes a number of new features, enhancements, and changes. The
most significant features are introduced below.
Roles
You can use the new roles metadata labels to organize clips in your events and projects,
control the appearance of the timeline, and export separate video or audio files (also
known as media stems) for broadcast delivery, audio mixing, or post-production. For
example, you can export roles as media stems in a combined, multitrack QuickTime file, or
as separate audio or video files. During the export process you can assign mono, stereo, or
surround output for your audio channels.
