Final Cut Pro for iPad gets support for external drives and live multicam recording

Apple just announced a new version of its popular video editing suite Final Cut Pro for iPad. There’s also a refresh for Mac and a new Logic Pro app for iPad.

As for customization options, Final Cut Pro for iPad 2 brings 12 new color-grading presets, eight basic text tiles, 20 new soundtracks and more dynamic backgrounds. The software leverages Apple silicon’s Neural Engine to bring a bit of AI flourish to basic editing tasks. There’s also something called Smooth Slo-Mo that pairs with AI, in which “frames of video are intelligently generated and blended together, providing the highest-quality movement.” The timeline has also been refreshed and looks a bit more intuitive.
