New Final Cut Pro

Apple has finally announced the next generation of its professional video editing software, Final Cut Pro X, which can take advantage of powerful new hardware and hefty amounts of memory thanks to 64-bit support.Now that Final Cut Pro is officially a 64-bit application, it will be able to utilize more than 4 gigabytes of memory. That's something that will be particularly useful to video editors dealing with lengthy films and large high-definition files. It's also a feature that consumers have been demanding even before the release of the last version of the software, Final Cut Pro 7, in 2009.Adobe Premiere, a direct competitor to Final Cut Pro, has been offering 64-bit support for over a year.
