Apple on Thursday updated its Mac video editing suites, Final Cut Pro and iMovie, adding tools to ensure videos remain compatible as macOS prepares to drop all 32-bit app support. Motion and Compressor also received a similar update.
Final Cut 10.4.6 and iMovie 10.1.11 can now detect media files that may be incompatible with future versions of macOS after Mojave and converts them to a compatible format. Mojave will be the last macOS release to offer 32-bit compatibility, Apple warned developers at WWDC 2018 to give them plenty of time.
