Today was the first day of the third-annual Final Cut Pro X Creative Summit in Cupertino, CA. The even is geared towards professional video editors using Final Cut Pro X, with talks, demonstrations, along with a visit to the Apple campus and a talk by the product team behind the NLE.

The first day of the event started off with quite a bang, as Apple took the wraps off of the next big edition of Final Cut Pro X, version 10.4. Although there is no designated date for release, the update will be pushed this year and includes enhanced color tools, along with support for VR and HDR workflows.
