The updates add significant new features to FCP X, Motion and Compressor.

Last week, Apple continued the evolutionary growth of Final Cut Pro X releasing its 33rd free update – to version 10.4.9 – along with updates for Motion and Compressor. While none of these features are revolutionary, all are useful and include:

• Proxy workflow enhancements
• Automated tools for social media cropping
• Editorial workflow improvements
• Motion now supports 3D models in USDZ format, and include 66 new 3D models in the Motion Library
• Motion adds a new Stroke filter which quickly outlines objects using its alpha channel
• Compressor now supports custom LUTs

These free updates are accessed through the Mac App Store.
