Teased last month alongside the announcement for the new M2 iPad Air and M4 iPad Pro, Final Cut Camera is a standalone app for iPhone and iPad that also acts as a companion tool for the iPad. With this app, users can adjust camera settings like white balance, manual focus, ISO, shutter speed, and resolution. They can also monitor aspects like audio levels and battery life.
One of the features within the app is the ability to turn off the iPhone's built-in stabilization, a handy option when using external gimbals. When paired with an iPad, Final Cut Camera allows for remote control of the iPhone camera right from the iPad's larger screen.
Existing users can get Final Cut Pro for iPad 2 as a free update, while new users can purchase it for $4.99 per month or $49 per year via the app store. In addition, Final Cut Pro for Mac has been updated to version 10.8, featuring AI-driven enhancements to improve workflow efficiency.
