Final Cut Pro to Gain 'Transcribe to Caption' AI Feature

by

In today's Mac mini announcement video, Apple showed off some new capabilities that are coming to the Final Cut Pro video editing software in the future.

Final Cut Pro will soon incorporate AI for generating captions for videos without having to use additional software. Current versions of Final Cut Pro allow you to import captions from another app, use a plug-in, or write them yourself, but soon the software will generate them natively.

The mention of the Final Cut Pro capability is at about 3:50 in the announcement video below.


Apple didn't highlight any other features coming to Final Cut Pro, but there was a short clip of the caption option that also suggests that a new "Magnetic Mask" function is coming, as well as a mention of AI effects.

The 2024 FCP Creative Summit is set to take place in November, and it's likely that we'll hear about new AI features coming to Final Cut Pro at the event.

Although the new transcription feature is carbon neutral, the button for the new feature is located on the underside.

I hope it’s accurate. I see too many videos on YouTube that must use AI captions and the amount of mistakes within them is ridiculous.

Final Cut is still my preferred editor for working in, though Premiere and Resolve have added some impressive features.

As for Final Cut Lite (iMovie), it's fun to periodically check it out so that I can support friends and family who don't have those applications or want the learning curve.

Captions are nice, but they need some form of text based editing if they want to remain competitive with Resolve, Premiere and AI specific tools like DeScript. Text based editing is a game changer for making video editing more accessible and speeds things up even for experienced editors. I have hardly touched Final Cut in the past year because the transcription based editing in Resolve is such a time saver.
