Amazing. I bought FCP for macOS like 8 years ago and I'm still getting significant updates.


Yep, and they didn't adopt the corny space-wasting exaggerated corner radii either.

I actually came across an very design-conscious indie app recently where the developer was like "I haven't figured out how to deal with Liquid Glass so I'm leaving things as they are for now." I wonder if the FCP team wasn't thinking the same thing.

I've only updated one of my two Macs, and it kind of feels macOS 26 is the "fun" version of the OS, and Sequoia is the Pro version.
Isn't it crazy? The value of the software has been unbelievable for me given that I get to use it for paid projects.

No Liquid Glass. Even Apple themselves aren't prepared. And the FCP window on iPad is not freely resizable.
