Apple has rolled out updates for both Final Cut Pro and iMovie, notably improving HEVC and H.264 file export performance for its high-end Apple Silicon machines.
Apple’s free video editor, iMovie, also received an update, now bringing it to version 10.4. According to the iMovie App Store page, users can also export HEVC and H.264 faster. However, like the Final Cut Pro update, it requires macOS Sonoma and a Mac with Apple M1 Max, M1 Ultra, M2 Max, M2 Ultra, or M3 Max.
