Waiting for Final Cut Pro with new features? Possibly version 13?

It was announced during my 15 hour flight to Tokyo on Tuesday 27 October.

Apple say it will be available to download in November. I’m flying back to London tomorrow from Tokyo.

I’m doing what I can!

@peteresaltare How about workflows switching to Creative Cloud MCP and then switching out the Creative Cloud bit?

[Alex ‘4D’ Gollner ⧜ @Alex4D]

@aaronp613 @MattOfTheSouth Thought it was a WW2 reference. But perhaps that would be bad taste.

Apple have introduced paid ‘Intelligence Usage Packs’ to be applied to selected features of Apple Creator Studio apps.

Perhaps ‘Claris Harbor’ will be another option. If you have enough local compute, you might not need the OpenAI/Google supported AI usage packs.

[Aaron @aaronp613]

Apple is working on a new app called Harbor

Harbor turns your Mac into a private AI inference server. Run open-weight models locally on Apple silicon—your data never leaves your hardware, and nothing reaches the cloud. Connect multiple Mac computers over Thunderbolt 5 to pool unified memory, enabling large models and higher concurrency that a single computer can handle alone.

Set up in minutes, not hours Harbor automatically detects your devices over Thunderbolt 5 to form a cluster. Plug in, start, and you’re running—no manual configuration, no command line, no infrastructure expertise required.

Download and run models directly Browse, download, and load open-weight models from within the app. Harbor handles model management so you can focus on the work, not the setup.

Cluster for scale Connect two or more Thunderbolt 5-capable Mac computers and Harbor pools their unified memory into a single inference resource. Run models that exceed any single computer’s capacity, or serve more concurrent requests across your cluster.

Harbor is currently in a private preview under the Claris brand.

An opportunity for someone to fix Adobe’s weird ‘not macOS, not Windows’ UI.

Also if a modern video editing or graphics app needs a Creative Cloud feature, it can use MCP to get headless @creativecloud to do it.

[Linus ✦ Ekenstam 🔜 Adobe MAX Miami 2026 @LinusEkenstam]

Adobe is back, officially releasing MCP support for its entire creative cloud stack.

they are back on their toes, feels exciting to see this be released in real-time in Miami.

Adobe becoming headless!?

[Alex ‘4D’ Gollner ⧜ @Alex4D]

Excellent.

I’d rather people pay for the AI they use than have that cost added to _my_ Apple Creator Studio subscription fee.

@vashikoo Note the directors rarely talk in terms of removing or adding frames. Amateurs say 1 frame or 3 frames. Professionals use phrases like ‘some head’ ‘a little tail’ and trust the editor.

Instagram Edits comes to macOS. 50 million mobile users claimed.

Instagram plans to ship weekly updates to improve the desktop editor

iMovie for macOS has been updated 20 times in the last 5 years.

Now for Apple to deliver the best (Ternus Doctrine)

[Alex ‘4D’ Gollner ⧜ @Alex4D]

Analyst compares John Ternus’ way of describing Apple with that of Tim Cook’s.

The Cook Doctrine never applied to Apple’s Pro Apps - Apple kept getting in the way.

Let’s see if the Ternus Doctrine will be applied to Final Cut Pro, Motion and Apple Creator Studio.

Don Norman snapping at his own company’s LinkedIn post is quite a mood.

@bunchjesse I love Keynote’s motion blur. It’s better and faster than Motion’s.

I hope the .keyx format is a step towards Apple’s Motion being able to open Keynote presentations.

Better transition and animation tools in Motion. Motion templates for transitions and animations for Keynote!

@MKBHD If you are following this story, and have just started an Apple Creator Studio subscription, consider visiting my website where there are many free plugins for Final Cut: https://t.co/6vtKC5FFhe

Some are used by professionals in every video they edit!

[Alex ‘4D’ Gollner ⧜ @Alex4D]

@thefinalcutbro It is good news. Apple are adding interesting features to many Apple Creator Studio apps.

I hope they start deeply integrating them. More than Adobe but in a modern way not 2000’s style ‘rooms’ like Resolve.
