Apple is set to implement a significant update to its Final Cut Pro video editing software, integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technology that poses a challenge to the current leading application, CapCut.
According to BGR, the forthcoming update will introduce an automatic subtitle creation feature, enhancing the user experience for content creators. In a recent video showcasing the new Mac mini M4, Apple previewed the “Transcribe to Captions” capability, which enables users to generate subtitles automatically using AI. This feature aims to streamline the editing process, allowing creators to save time and effort by eliminating the need for manual subtitle entry.
The introduction of automatic captioning in Final Cut Pro positions it as a formidable competitor to CapCut, particularly since CapCut recently faced criticism for restricting access to its automatic subtitle feature for free users. With this new functionality, Final Cut Pro aspires to become a comprehensive video editing solution that addresses a wide range of user needs, from professional editing to efficient subtitle creation.
While Apple has yet to announce an official release date for this update, it is anticipated to launch in the coming weeks alongside the introduction of the new M4 Mac models. This strategic integration of AI into Final Cut Pro reflects Apple’s commitment to enhancing user experience and attracting new users, particularly content creators in search of a robust and convenient video editing tool.
