Apple Releases Final Cut Express HD 3.5
May 19, 2006
Cupertino, CA - Apple released Final Cut Express HD 3.5 with support for multiple video layers, real-time special effects and transitions and such tools as color correction and matting. Priced at $299, or $99 for an upgrade, Final Cut Express HD takes advantage of the new generation of Intel-based Mac computers and all the performance benefits they offer.
Flexible Editing
Insert, overwrite, replace or fit to fill clips into your sequence by dragging them directly into the Canvas or Timeline. Use precision tools and techniques like slip, slide, ripple, roll, split and extend. The flexible interface lets you move seamlessly between editing, compositing and effects functions.
Compositing Layers
Achieve impressive results, creating rich visual images and animations, by layering video clips, photos, or graphics files — such as multilayered Adobe Photoshop files. You can, for example, use multiple video layers to produce side-by-side video, picture-in-picture effects, or multi-layered collages.
Realtime Effects & Transitions
With Final Cut Express HD, you can enhance your video projects using any of the hundreds of available transitions filters and effects. In most cases, you won’t even have to wait to see what they’ll look like. Thanks to Dynamic RT, Final Cut Express HD lets you preview effects and transitions in real time without rendering. That alone will save you loads of precious time
Audio and Voiceover
Final Cut Express HD lets you mix up to 99 audio tracks using pans, levels and the three-band equalizer. Further enhance your audio with transitions and filters such as cross fades, reverb, EQ, echo, noise gate and more. For documentary-style projects, use the VoiceOver tool to record narration into an audio track while your video plays.
