   Final Cut Pro X 10.2.3, Compressor 4.2.2, Motion 5.2.3

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Apple has updated its lineup of professional video editing apps,
   releasing [1]Final Cut Pro X 10.2.3, [2]Compressor 4.2.2, and [3]Motion
   5.2.3 with updated compatibility for iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPad
   Pro, and Apple TV (4th generation). Both Final Cut Pro X and Motion fix
   a bug in which points on a Bezier shape could incorrectly switch from
   Linear to Smooth, as well as a problem with some objects within Motion
   templates that could render with soft edges.

   Version 10.2.3 of Final Cut Pro X brings a customizable Default Effect
   that enables you to choose both a video and audio effect that's
   assigned to a keyboard shortcut, adds a 4K export preset to create
   video files for Apple devices, improves speed when opening libraries on
   a storage area network (SAN), and adds the capability to share video to
   multiple YouTube accounts. Motion 5.2.3 improves the stability of the
   title, transition, and effects tool when adding Photoshop files to a
   project, searching in iTunes and photo libraries, and using the Undo
   command after ungrouping a parent group. Compressor 4.2.2 adds a 4K
   export preset to create video files for Apple devices, resolves an
   issue with Closed Caption files, and fixes a bug in which the
   Navigation window failed to display the source clip when the Preview
   window was zoomed. ([4]Final Cut Pro, $299.99 new, 2.83 GB, [5]release
