WWDC 2025 is a wrap and many of us who love Final Cut Pro are looking closely at every detail of the event to ascertain what updates might be coming to our beloved video editing app. What other innovations might Apple have up their sleeve as it relates to professional video editing and content creation? There were a few interesting moments sprinkled throughout but nothing quite meaty enough for all of broccoli choppers to truly feast on. Most of what we saw revolved around a system wide OS re-design called Liquid Glass and major improvements to iPadOS and macOS's Spotlight feature. While these are certainly welcome, many of us who love Final Cut Pro were left wanting more... again.
