hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and today apple released major app updates to its creative
apps on ipad iphone and mac so i thought i'd go over that as it's something i don't typically
cover but thought i'd try something new now the first major change or update is to imovie apple
announced imovie version 3.0 at the recent march apple event when they introduced the
ipad air 5 and said or 5th generation and said that they would have a new version that takes
advantage of the a15 bionic its additional ram and capabilities as well as its neural engine
and so today they've released this version you can download it in the app store for free
and you can see it here there's quite a few different changes and
let's go over the major ones the first time you open up imovie after installing it you'll see that
it has three different things that are new magic movie storyboards and timeline a magic movie says
select a group of photos or videos and instantly create a polished magic movie with titles
transitions and music so i'll show you that in a moment we also have storyboards which could
be very helpful for quite a few people that are not typically those that edit videos and it says
choose from a variety of storyboards like cooking product review and science experiment to help you
create popular types of videos and trailers we also have timeline timeline improvements where it
says edit your movie in a timeline project for the most customization and control so let me go ahead
and open it up so i can show you what it looks like so it looks like typical imovie the first
time you open it on your ipad they've also updated the same things on the mac but if you slide up
from the bottom you'll see it says magic movie storyboard or movie movies what we had before
but if we make a magic movie i've already put one together with a few different clips
we'll go into it tap on edit and let me bring the brightness down as this was actually recorded in
hdr you won't be able to see it in sdr that i'm recording this video in but we have four different
clips that i just imported and said create a movie for me so it did that it put it to music
and let me go ahead and play it for you quickly here we'll expand it and this shows you what it
looks like so it took the footage put it together give it just a moment here it's not very long
you'll see here it's just a few different clips i recorded outside at some point for
different videos and you'll see it's cycling through them and it put it to music as well
now none of these have really anything to do with one another but it was very easy to do i
just took four different clips dropped them in here and it created it for me so that's a magic
movie similar to what you get in the photos app if you want to create sort of a memory with that
we also have the the best thing probably is storyboard so under storyboard you have a
bunch of different categories you have about and celebration and how it works and so on
so maybe you want to create something about how it works go into how it works
we have a bunch of different options and there's 20 different storyboard options
and then different styles within each one of those so maybe we'll select studio we can then
change the music add or delete it change the font change the color or put a filter on it
once we select what we're happy with we hit create and now we have an entire sort of outline of what
we need to do to import to create this video from a reference shot to another reference shot
a close-up of what we're talking about a close-up of something else that we're talking about and so
on all the way through the entire timeline so it allows us to create this based on what it would
think is best and then of course you can add to this as well so if you want to add additional
things and then create your video it helps you lay those out whether it be a product review a how-to
video or more so it's a really nice way to do that there's also improvements to the movie timeline so
i have a movie here if we go to edit again you'll see we have the movie there's improvements to the
timeline and bug fixes and more now some of these features require the latest ipad mini
the latest iphone 13 13 pro and newer ipad pro 11 inch or ipad pro 12.9 inch third gen or newer
and you can also export these into a final cut timeline as well so you can do that directly onto
a mac if you're using a mac now along with this apple also updated final cut so let's switch to
that today apple updated final cut pro to version 10.6.2 now if you're not seeing the update under
your app store and then the updates you can just go into the app store type final cut pro
and you'll see it here click on final cut pro and the word open here at the top should switch to
update and then you can update you'll see version 10.6.2 here now let's go ahead and open it up now
this is a free update if you already own final cut pro if you don't you'll get the latest update once
you you purchase it and install it so we'll close the app store and let's go into final cut pro
and the first time you open it you'll see the three major changes and you can see here the first
thing is duplicate clip detection quickly locate media that appears more than once in a project
using highlighted clip ranges or the timeline index so what i've done here is i've actually
copied this clip and then put it at the end so if we go to the end of the timeline i put it here
and if we want to see duplicate clips within our different timeline all we need to do is click
this little button here and you'll see duplicate ranges so duplication ranges or duplicated ranges
here should show up and they'll have little lines through them here as you can see so you'll see
the lines there and then back here where there's something that's duplicated so that's something
they've updated but the next one is pretty major i think if you have mac os monterey it requires it
and it's voice isolation so you'll see now if you go over to your inspector you'll see here we have
voice isolation so if you're outside it will isolate your voice using the neural engine and
machine learning so you'll see here we can actually isolate it now i haven't tried this in
a very noisy environment but it seems to work very simple or very easily in the environment that i'm
in here but i do have an office with sound panels so it's pretty isolated to begin with but you now
have this built in and you won't need additional plugins thirdly you also have optimized versions
for mac studio so if you have a mac studio with an m1 max or m1 ultra like i'm using here you'll
see under about this mac this is an m1 ultra it definitely was not taking advantage of everything
it had to offer now it seems much much faster so let's close this and now as i skim through the
timeline you'll see it's just incredibly fast and i'm in high quality as well so i'm under better
quality and it's just super fast whether i'm going through different titles or anything or just
playing back let me make sure i'm muted here we'll just play back and you can see these pop up here
and it's just playing nice and smoothly even as i'm recording this video using screenflow so
it's very very nice that way now there's some additional updates as well small ones where you
can import the magic movie and storyboard projects with imovie or created in imovie
it also adds korean language support and includes stability improvements and bug fixes so if it was
unstable for you before hopefully this fixes it i did have some issues on my mac studio before so
hopefully this will improve but i'll only know by using it over the next few days now additionally
we have some updates to compressor and motion as well so the same thing is true i won't go into all
the details but we get similar optimizations if you have an m1 studio or a mac studio
you'll see here that if we go into the version notes you'll see we have use the new sliced scale
filter to divide an image into slices to prevent distortion when scaling and then again we have the
same three updates we get with final cut optimized playback and graphic performance for the m1 max
and m1 ultra on the new mac studio korean language support and stability improvements and bug fixes
we also get and that's version 5.6.1 that motion was updated to compressor also gets an update if
we go into compressor you'll see we have some updates as well so view a video's transparency
the aspect ratio of an output and modified source media properties in the preview viewer
also rotate and flip video files using the new video properties and settings so that along with
the optimizations i mentioned before all of these require mac os monterey version 12.3 or later so
you'll see that here is updated and that's great if you use compressor i'm sure you'll be familiar
with that and again you can update it right now additionally i wanted to share that there's some
major updates with pixelmator pro pixelmator pro if you're not familiar with that is basically
a replacement for most of what adobe photoshop does it doesn't do everything but it's something
i've been using for years and i'm very familiar with they updated it today to version 2.4 odessa
and you'll see here this is a brief overview and i'll expand it in a moment but it says it brings
a completely redesigned layers sidebar colors adjustments and effects layers over 200 beautiful
new vector shapes and support for the m1 ultra and more if i click on more you can see there
are a ton of different updates in this particular version so you'll see for m1 ultra it says tasks
like automatic background removal super resolution and photo enhancement are up to 1.7 times faster
on the m1 ultra compared to the m1 max so if we open up pixelmator pro let's click on it here
if you're familiar with this particular app you'll see that the layers bar has changed here on the
side if we zoom in or out or maybe we go to image and then ml super resolution give it just a moment
here to process and it's done that's incredibly fast and definitely faster than it was processing
before so they've updated this with a lot of different changes and features as well as new
vector shapes and more so it's great to see them updating it's free if you already have pixelmator
pro now in addition to the other creative apps that i mentioned on the mac apple also updated
its iwork suite of apps on the iphone ipad and mac now i've mentioned this before but
thought it was significant enough since if you use voiceover this could be extremely helpful and you
can see the different updates here but you'll see the last update it says read comments and
track changes using voiceover if you're using pages so there's a few different updates here
and then also with numbers in keynote the same thing so create formulas and quickly fill cells
with autofill using voiceover and then keynote get some enhancements as well and on the mac side you
can use it with shortcuts so you can use keynote numbers and pages with shortcuts they've also
updated the app icons to match what we have on the mac so all of those things have been updated today
and last week they updated the iwork suite of apps now also we're waiting for new versions of ios
ios 15.4.2 may be something that we see now that apple has stopped signing ios 15.4 that means
you can no longer downgrade to ios 15.4 leaving only ios 15.4.1 and ios 15.5 betas so we could
see something like that very soon within a week or two or maybe we won't see it at all and apple will
just wait for ios 15.5 currently we have ios 15.5 beta 1 and ios 15.5 beta 2 usually when we go from
beta 1 to 2 to 3 there is usually a two week gap so we may not see anything until next week however
apple's been releasing a lot of updates so of course this could change they could push something
out more rapidly than they have in the past so all of those things are coming very soon of course
with ios 16 in june with wwdc and more let me know if you'd like to see more of these sort of app
updates when there's major changes and features i'd love to hear from you in the comments below
and of course if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper i'll link it in the description
