Final Cut Pro 12.2, Compressor 5.2, and Motion 6.2

Apple has released maintenance updates for its professional video apps: Final Cut Pro 12.2, Compressor 5.2, and Motion 6.2. Final Cut Pro reduces startup time when launching with many Audio Units installed, adds a video tutorial on editing with the Magnetic Timeline, and resolves a crash that could occur when adjusting zoom levels in the timeline with Beat Detection enabled. Compressor removes support for H.264 for Blu-ray encoding, encoding H.264 interlaced video, Dolby Digital, and encoding to AVC-Intra on Apple silicon. Motion receives only unspecified stability improvements and bug fixes. All three apps are bundled with the Apple Creator Studio subscription, which costs $12.99 per month or $129 per year, and are also sold as standalone one-time purchases. (Free updates.
