Power users occasionally prefer to start over when they acquire a new computer, so they follow the pro-gamers’ advice and reinstall Windows using a brand-new ISO image that comes straight from Microsoft and is free of bloatware and needlessly complex “driver management programs.” Up until recently, the new Snapdragon laptops’ more specialized version of Windows 11 didn’t support that.

The Windows 11 build on these new laptops is unusual because of the Arm64-based hardware, which differs from the typical x86 and x64 innards found in most laptops and desktops. Microsoft has finally released a disk image (or ISO file) for these devices after several months of waiting. To perform a direct reinstallation or make a bootable flash drive for a different device, you may now download it straight from Microsoft’s website. It is identical to the installation media utility that is currently available.

Be aware that there may be some glitches if you use this method for a fresh install. Compared to previous designs, the Snapdragon X system-on-a-chip has a lot fewer hardware variables, but because it’s so new, Windows Update might not include all the necessary components. You may need to use an Ethernet connection or the old-fashioned sneakernet to manually load drivers from another computer. You may also need to do some Googling to locate all the files you require for that.

Apple has released Final Cut Pro 11, an AI-powered program

Published

Apple introduced Final Cut X thirteen years ago. Considering that the video-editing program marked its 25th birthday this April, that represents just over half of its lifetime. Some have questioned whether the corporation has discreetly withdrawn the offering due to its multiple lifetimes in the consumer software industry.

Final Cut Pro finally reaches level 11, after 13 years of waiting, and Apple is no longer playing around. On Wednesday, the program will be accessible for download. After a 90-day trial period, new users will need to pay $300 to buy Final Cut Pro 11 from the Mac App Store, while current users will receive it as a free update.

What specifically justified the much anticipated move to 11? AI is two letters. The business is using AI to power new features just weeks after releasing Apple Intelligence for iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS.

Magnetic Mask is at the top of the list because it makes it simple to crop objects and people out of videos without using a green screen.

According to Apple, “This powerful and precise automatic analysis provides additional flexibility to customize backgrounds and environments,” “Editors can also combine Magnetic Mask with color correction and video effects, allowing them to precisely control and stylize each project.”

Transcribe to Captions, which basically adds text to Final Cut’s timeline, is the second standout AI-based tool here. The company claims that its in-house large language model (LLM) powers that feature.

Apple’s problematic mixed-reality headset is the subject of this article’s other major headline. The most recent iPhones now have the capability to record Spatial Video, and Final Cut may be used to edit that footage. It is possible to add effects, color correct the video, and change the titles’ depth placement.

Apple is reportedly working on a more inexpensive variant, even though CEO Tim Cook has acknowledged that the $3,500 headgear isn’t the mainstream consumer product the company wanted. Along with the iPhone 15 Pro and all iPhone 16 models, the Vision Pro itself can record spatial video. Additionally, Canon just unveiled a new twin lens that works with R7 cameras.

Additionally, there are various time-saving features in the new Final Cut. For example, Magnetic Timeline allows you to swiftly rearrange clips while maintaining audio and video synchronization.

According to Apple, Final Cut Pro 11 was developed especially for the M-series of CPUs, which are its first-party silicon. This includes having more simultaneous 4K and 8K playback capabilities.

Apple claims that the M-series of chips, their first-party silicon, were the reason behind the creation of Final Cut Pro 11. This includes the capacity to play back several 4K and 8K ProRes video streams at once.

Final Cut Pro for iPad 2.1 is being released by Apple concurrently with the eagerly anticipated release of Pro 11. The brightness and color of the touched-based interface will be increased, and the workflow will be enhanced as well. Starting on Wednesday, current users can also obtain that for free.
