Apple Unveils Final Cut Pro X, Coming in June for Only $299!

Apple has unveiled Final Cut Pro X which will be released in June via the App Store for only $299.

The new software was previewed at NAB 2011 this evening. We are still waiting for the official release from Apple but Engadget offers a peak at what's new.

The "rebuilt from ground up" video editing suite -- which now shares a similar look and feel with iMovie -- will be shipped with 64-bit support to finally make use of more than 4GB of RAM, as well as handling 4K clips on 8-core editing rigs (by way of the Grand Central DIspatch feature on Snow Leopard). Most notably, though, is that this new FCP will always be rendering instantly in the background, meaning you can edit on the fly much like you do on iMovie! There's also a whole stash of other new features: editing before media ingest, magnetic timeline, people detection, instant color matching between clips, smart collection of media based on custom keywords and people, auto image stabilization on import, and many more.
