Apple update Final Cut Pro X to 10.2, Motion to 5.2 and Compressor to 4.2
Apple have surprised us again by releasing updates to the three professional video applications on the first day of NAB 2015. All the updates are free, which is a huge feature increase from when FCPX was first released.
Apple on Thursday issued a minor update to Final Cut Pro X, its professional video editing suite, fixing a trio of bugs including a critical crash-on-start issue seen by some users.
Yes, the icons have had a makeover, looking a bit flatter than before!

.1)Audio is muted at the spanned portion of MOV/MP4 files on a timeline. Preview is OK, but the imported clips in an event sometimes are not able to play back with black video. For these workaround, please try to copy the MOV/MP4 files only into a local storage and then import the copied clips on Final Cut Pro X.
Work at a faster clip. With its modern Metal engine, Final Cut Pro allows you to edit more complex.

Final Cut Pro X 10.23D Titles
Fully featured 3D titles.Control 3D text parameters directly in FCPX. You can change materials, lighting and edges all in the inspector. Open up effects in Motion to customise further. Many cinematic templates provided. 2D titles can be converted into 3D with one click. This would explain the price cuts of similar 3D 3rd party plugins!
Smart Collections at the Library level. 5 supplied as a start such as projects and stills, but you can delete them and make your own. 
You can now draw a mask with linear, bezier or B Splines smoothing. The mask can have unlimited control points and the the points can be animated over time. The masks can be used on any built-in effect or third party product.
Reorder the correction in the inspector to make sure the correct sequence of operation (like applying a broadcast safe filter) You can also drag & drop and save a multilayer effect as a preset.
Up to 4 Video Scopes on the screen at once. Graders rejoice at the choice from the pull-down menu.
Now consolidated onto one page. The sidebar means you don't have to go to a second page to access the import preferences.
Caching of waveforms to improve performance over a network. (No word on if this will fix the growing file problem)
Also an option to export previous XML versions to improve third party compatibility.
Red Raw GPU-accelerated playback, rendering, and transcoding—including support for dual GPUs on Mac Pro. FCPX now reads the anamorphic flag for the correct widescreen display. Expect a 3.2x improvement on render times and a 2.4x improvement on optimisation to ProRes than 10.1.4. The latest RED plugin needs it be installed.
Now uses GPU Rendering. Expect up to a 3.3x increase when encoding ProRes 422. Support for dual GPUs on the MacPro and integrated graphics cards on laptops.
Now no need to install Sony's plugin for XAVC and XDCAM. Panasonic AVC-Ultra, Sony XAVC S, and JVC H.264 Long GOP files now supported. We believe XAVC L to be supported, but only when importing from a camera card or archive. This is great news for Sony FS7 owners. (Yes you Philip!)
