Final

Final Cut Pro X gets updated to 10.3.2. You will notice the change of behaviour when using delete on a range of audio in the Primary storyline. The update reverts back to the 10.2.3 way where it would extract this part of the audio rather than just mute it. You see - Apple do listen to their customers!

Also the improved handling of long projects will be good news for those editors who have noticed a significant drop in performance when moving clips in large projects. (Early reports suggest a significant performance boost.)

We should also note here that Compressor has been fixed to allow the correct export of ProRes 4444 files with alpha - Something we know was driving a few graphic artists nuts!

As always before updating, back up your projects and zip up a copy of the existing application. Just in case!

Could this be clearing the deck for a feature update at NAB?
