After teasing some AI features coming to Final Cut Pro during the M4 Mac announcements, Apple finally released Final Cut Pro 11 for Mac and version 2.1 for iPad users. This major software update revamps Apple's professional video editor software with many artificial intelligence functions.

Of course, this function also works with other recordings. Image source: Apple Inc. Voice Isolation: As the iPhone 16 Pro has shown, Apple added Voice Isolation to Final Cut Pro, which enhances speech and optimizes sound levels while reducing background noise from audio captured in the field.
