What’s new in Final Cut Pro 10.4.9

Final Cut Pro 10.4.9 introduces new features and enhancements, detailed below.

Enhanced proxy workflows

Create a proxy-only copy of a library, event, or project to reduce size for portability or performance. See Create a proxy-only project in Final Cut Pro.
Create proxy media in a variety of frame sizes from 12.5 percent to 100 percent of the original, and in either Apple ProRes 422 Proxy or H.264 format. See Create optimized and proxy files in Final Cut Pro and Import preferences in Final Cut Pro.
Choose to display and play back original or optimized media if proxy media is not available for some clips in your project. See Choose the type of playback media.
Delete optimized or proxy files for individual clips.

Transform projects for square or vertical delivery for social media. Use the new Duplicate Project As command to quickly create a new version of an existing project in a different aspect ratio. See Create square or vertical versions of a project in Final Cut Pro.
When you create a version of a project in a different aspect ratio, use Smart Conform to automatically reframe clips in your new project. See Adjust framing with Smart Conform in Final Cut Pro.
Add a custom overlay as an onscreen guide when placing text and graphics in your project. See Show overlays in the Final Cut Pro viewer.
Use a new overscan view to display media outside the viewer boundary when adjusting a clip’s scale, rotation, and position with the Transform effect. See Resize, move, and rotate clips in Final Cut Pro.

View and edit stereoscopic 360° video with simultaneous left-eye and right-eye views in the 360° viewer. See View and navigate 360° video in Final Cut Pro.
When patching a portion of a 360° clip with the 360° Patch effect, create a separate connected clip with just the patch image. See Create a separate clip with only the 360° Patch image.
Video stabilization as well as 5.7K and 8K project resolutions are now available for 360° video.

Crossfade audio on adjacent clips in one step using a menu command or keyboard shortcut. See Crossfade audio in Final Cut Pro.
Adjust ProRes RAW camera settings such as ISO, color temperature, and exposure offset using new controls in the inspector.
Use a new pop-up menu above the timeline to close the project open in the timeline or clear the project history. See Open and close projects in Final Cut Pro.
