Apple Introduces Final Cut Camera 2.0 With ProRes RAW, Genlock and New Front‑Camera Controls

The free update arrives later this month with new capture tools designed for seamless edits in Final Cut Pro across Apple devices.

Overview

  • ProRes RAW recording comes to iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, enabling sensor‑level capture and open gate footage for greater reframing flexibility.
  • Genlock synchronization is supported for frame‑accurate multicam shoots, with a new API already implemented in Blackmagic Design’s Camera ProDock.
  • Manual Center Stage controls extend across the iPhone 17 lineup, leveraging a larger square front sensor to record horizontal or vertical video without rotating the phone.
  • Additional pro options include Apple Log 2 recording, selectable timecode modes, and ProRes capture from the new 200 mm telephoto up to 4K60 on iPhone 17 Pro.
  • The app will be a free App Store update later this month, requiring iPhone XS or newer on iOS 18.6 or later, with some features limited to iPhone 17 Pro or newer software.
