Wait FCP didn't have adjustment clips until now? Oh Apple...
Adjustment clips... only just now???! Apple fashionably late as usual.... by about 15-20 years. They really don't take [professional] creatives nearly seriously enough.
sigh
sigh
I could swear at some point they would try to buy BlackMagic and let them handle Davinci Resolve as their official Professional Video Editor. That would be the best move...
Can someone tell Apple to wake the hell up
Image playground integration on Final Cut, are we even being serious here?

This should be the headline, then, not the other thing.
I came for the Image Playground comments and was not disappointed. Oh Apple….
This update is very disappointing. Not just for the totally useless Image Playground, at least at this point, but for the proof of lack of interest in Apple towards Final Cut Pro. I love the magnetic timeline and the way Final Cut is designed, I use it professionally everyday, but today I am starting to look somewhere else. There is a long time since Apple does not deliver useful and interesting features, I don't know if something big is coming or the product is just dying.
Adjustment Layers. FINALLY! It works as expected.
Image Playground had me wrinkle my nose but if this is a precursor for Apple Intelligence generators, then holy crap this is gonna amazing. The few included dynamic backgrounds and having to buy more from third parties or learn Motion has always been a limitation. Now if Apple Intelligence could generate dynamic backgrounds from a prompt, that'll be a real improvement.

Adjustment Clips WOW. Very nice update, I don't know why so many people are whining

That could really come in handy for some of my video projects! It's probably the only feature about this update I'm interested in. Over the years, with my YouTube Poop production, Final Cut Pro just keeps getting better and better for making them, with a wide variety of video and audio effects and distortion tools, adding built-in motion tracking, and the Voice Isolation feature, and most recently the Magnetic Mask.
And that magnetic timeline is indeed useful in my YTP production. I know DaVinci Resolve and Magix Vegas Pro and even Cyberlink PowerDirector (which does come in a Mac version) have been adding such features (including similar A.I.-assisted rotoscope mask tools).
The 'big features' were they added adjustment layers and movable timeline markers. BUT those timeline markers can't move outside of each clip.... what the f.... I can't believe they are STILL adding basic features that were in FCP 7... and every single other editing app.
Here's my detailed article about the new update:

Adjustment Clips are great, and much more convenient than the Adjustment Layers everyone's been using for years now. Plus you can fade them! They're still more powerful than Adjustment Layers in Premiere Pro, because in FCP, they can control transforms, not just color.

Good to know about the changes. But not sure how many were eagerly waiting to see Image playground on the updated software.
So they add beta picture toys while Keyframes still have no handles. AI crap continues to take precedence over tools you actually need. Nice job Apple.
Feels as sensible as Adobe adding Firefly to InDesign. There is so much sensible stuff to do with FCP/Motion.
They can add the subscription option to macOS but they cannot force everyone who bought Final Cut Pro to switch to subscription…
Everyone will become crazy then…
not one FCP editor will use image playground for heart of getting laughed out of the industry
Text-based editing is available on much less sophisticated packages than FCP.
shame on Apple
We now cut our interviews with Premiere because
apple gives us Image Playground.
Final Cut Pro has been putting the "" in "Pro" since 2011. Image Playground is exactly the kind of feature that your typical FCP editor would use.
