So, I am going out on a limb here but I think Apple will release Final Cut Pro 11 at or around the time of the NAB Conference.
Why do I think this? Well for one, the version that Apple used to show off the Mac Studio was using an unreleased version of Final Cut, version 10.6.2 and it still has yet to be released. NAB is just 12 days away. I personally think they did not want to reveal that version 11 is coming out, so they just baked the hardware acceleration into a new dot release.
So why Final Cut Pro 11 and not just 10.6.2? I'm sure there will be a large number of new features and enhancements, and Apple has started to move away from the whole X branding of things.
On a side note, I also would not be surprised if Apple changed the name of iMovie to simply Final Cut, thus having two versions, one for the professionals and one for the consumers.
What are some features you would like to see in a Final Cut Pro 11? For me personally, more enhancements for the M1 series of chips as well as finally being able to edit BRAW natively.
