So Final Cut Pro got a brand new update to version 10.6 with a new Object Tracker and support for Cinematic Mode (so you can adjust depth of field and focus points). There were also a number of stability improvements as well as under the hood optimization for all the new M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max processors we'll be seeing in new Macs starting in late October. As impressive as Cinematic Mode and Object Tracking is, was anyone else feeling a little "Meh" about this update? The new MacBook Pros are INCREDIBLE, and I wish FCP could have been equally so ... but instead, just another incremental update with features added that are nice but not the groundbreaking stuff pros are craving.
