    Apple releases Final Cut Pro 11 with spatial video editing, transcribe to captions, and more
    As expected, Apple today took the wraps off the next big version of Final Cut Pro, and it comes with a whole host of new features that will surely make video editors happy. Included in Final Cut Pro 11 is support for spatial video editing, transcribe to captions, magnetic mask, and more. Its noteworthy that Final Cut Pro 11 is the first release that isnt a 10.x release since Apple dropped the X from its name back in 2020. Apple also released an update to Final Cut Pro for iPad, version 2.1, and an update for Final Cut Camera. These updates come hot on the heels of Logic Pro 11.1, which also released today, and features several significant enhancements for pro creatives.Spatial video editingOne of the most noteworthy enhancements found in Final Cut Pro 11 is a feature that was previewed during WWDC this past summer. Apple is finally bringing spatial import, edit, and delivery support to Final Cut Pro users, allowing them to import spatial video shot on iPhones to the Mac, edit, and then deliver to view in Apple Vision Pro.Spatial videos can be taken with Apple Vision Pro, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16-era device. Theres also Canons new RF-S7.8mm F4 STM DUAL lens, an APS-C lens that pairs nicely with the Canon R7.Once captured, its just a matter of dropping the spatial video in a Final Cut Pro project timeline, editing, and then delivering. Editing spatial videos works largely the same way as editing regular 2D videos, but there are new export controls to help facilitate final delivery.Spatial video clips can be captured directly with Apple Vision Pro, or on iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, and Canons new RF-S7.8mm F4 STM DUAL lens paired with Canon R7.Users can export spatial content directly to their Photos App Library, view them immediately on the Vision Pro, or share with others via the recently launched Vimeo app for Apple Vision Pro.Recently Blackmagic Design, creator of Final Cut Pro competitor, DaVinci Resolve, released an update to its NLE to include both spatial video encoding and spatial photo decoding support. I found the process there to be simple and straightforward as well.Transcribe to CaptionsTeased during its Mac mini video presentation, Apple has natively integrated AI-assisted transcription directly within Final Cut Pro. The new feature will benefit from the companys new M4-era hardware, with speech to text processing up to 13x faster than Intel Macs.The new Transcribe to Captions option can be found within the color correction and audio enhancements options, which looks like a little magic wand directly beneath the viewer. Users simply select the audio source from which to derive the captions, click Transcribe to Captions, and Final Cut Pro will handle the rest. Apple notes that an Apple-trained large language model is used to transcribe spoken audio.Needless to say, this new feature will be a boon to creators, especially those invested in short-form content. As I mentioned in a previous post, caption transcription is far from a new feature, and several companies, such as MotionVFX, offer excellent transcription solutions that work extremely well. The big difference here, of course, is that Apples transcription feature is natively built inside of Final Cut Pro, and is free to existing users via the version 11 update.Magnetic MaskMagnetic Mask was another AI-feature revealed during Apples Mac mini event, and its the one we knew the least about going into todays release. Apple didnt actually mention the Magnetic Mask during the event, but the option was shown during the Final Cut Pro portion of the video. At the time, we presumed that the Magnetic Mask would make deploying masks much easier with the help of snapping to high contrast areas. In its press release today, Apple notes that Magnetic Mask will make it so that editors can easily isolate people and objects in a clips without needing a green screen or utilizing more time-consuming rotoscoping. Magnetic Mask can be combined with other color correction tools and effects for custom and precise stylization of footage. Final Cut Pro is quickly becoming a centerpiece of Apples AI efforts on the Mac. The new Transcribe to Captions and Magnetic Mask features join other AI-assisted tools like Smart Conform, Enhance Light and Color, Smooth Slo-Mo, and Voice Isolation. Final Cut Pro 11 release notesExpand your creative freedom with the revolutionary AI-powered Magnetic Mask, and isolate people, objects and shapes in any footage without a green screen or time-consuming manual rotoscoping. Use Transcribe to Captions to automatically create captions from spoken audio in the timeline with a powerful AI language model built for speed and accuracy. (Requires a Mac with Apple silicon and macOS Sequoia or later.) Import and edit spatial video clips from Apple Vision Pro or iPhone 15 Pro or later; add titles, color correction, and effects; and share captivating spatial projects that can be viewed on Apple Vision Pro. (Requires a Mac with Apple silicon.) Reduce clutter in the browser by automatically hiding original clips when creating synced clips or multicam clips. Use Vertical Zoom to Fit to scale clip heights to fit in the timeline. Speed up your creative flow with new Picture in Picture and Callout effects. Create amazing visual reveals with new Modular transitions. Increase efficiency with new keyboard shortcuts for common tasks in the browser and timeline. Install third-party Media Extensions to support playback and editing of more video formats. (Requires macOS Sequoia or later.)Final Cut for iPad 2.1Not to be forgotten, Apple also released the next version of Final Cut Pro for iPad, version 2.1. It includes several additions geared towards streamlining the editing experience on iPad, including:Enhance Light and Color.Haptic feedback for Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard.New vertical pinch gesture that can expand or minimize clip height in the timeline.Dynamically adjust the size and position of the viewer in Picture in Picture mode.Timeline support for recordings at 90 fps, 100 fps, and 120 fps on iPhone 16 Pro.New inks for Live Drawing: watercolor, crayon, fountain pen, and monoline pen.New modular transitions, color-grading presets, and dynamic soundtracks.Easily highlight and overlay visuals with Picture in Picture and Callout effects.New keyboard shortcuts!Final Cut Camera also received a major update, bringing the ability to capture Log-encoded HEVC video in standalone of Live Multicam sessions a huge workflow improvement! Theres also the ability to enable a LUT preview while recording Log footage and support for 4K120fps recording with iPhone 16 Pro.9to5Macs TakeFinal Cut Pro 11 brings several key new features to the table, with one such feature, Transcribe to Captions, among one of the most-wanted new features. Needless to say this is a pretty massive update across the board, and most certainly worth its 11 badge. Its available as a free update to existing users, while new users can purchase it for $299, or download a free 90-day trial to test drive it.What do you think about Final Cut Pro 11?

    It Sounds Like NASA's Moon Rocket Might Be Getting Canceled
    NASA's plagued Space Launch System rocket, which is being developed to deliver the first astronauts to the Moon in over half a century, is on thin ice.According to Ars Technica senior space reporter Eric Berger's insider sources, there's an "at least 50-50" chance that the rocket "will be canceled.""Not Block 1B. Not Block 2," he added, referring to the variant that was used during NASA's uncrewed Artemis I test flight in 2022 and a more powerful design with a much higher translunar injection payload capacity, respectively. "All of it."To be clear, as Berger himself points out, we're still far "from anything being settled." Nonetheless, the reporter's sources have historically been highly reliable, suggesting the space agency may indeed be getting cold feet about continuing to pour billions of dollars into the non-reusable rocket.The SLS has already seen its fair share of budget overruns and many years of delays. In a 2022 interview, former NASA deputy administrator Lori Garver told Futurism that the project is simply "not sustainable."The rocket platform has become a political football, going well past $6 billion over budget and over half a decade behind schedule."I will be direct," former NASA administrator Michael Griffin told the House Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee during a January hearing on the space agency's Artemis program, as quoted byArs Technica. "In my judgment, the Artemis Program is excessively complex, unrealistically priced, compromises crew safety, poses very high mission risk of completion, and is highly unlikely to be completed in a timely manner even if successful."So far, the rocket has been launched only once, as part of NASA's inaugural Artemis mission in 2022, but damage sustained by the agency's Orion spacecraft has given officials pause about its ability to safely send astronauts to the Moon in the coming years.According to an August report by NASA's Office of Inspector General (OIG), even just the price of the tower designed to launch rockets starting with Artemis IV, which is tentatively scheduled for 2028, has ballooned to a whopping $1.8 billion.Plagued aerospace giant Boeing has also encountered plenty of headwinds with its contributions to the launch platform. In a separate September report by the OIG, the SLS' Block 1B configuration, which is being built by Boeing, was found to be woefully behind and way over budget."We found an array of issues that could hinder SLS Block 1B's readiness for Artemis IV including Boeings inadequate quality management system, escalating costs and schedules, and inadequate visibility into the Block 1Bs projected costs," the report reads.To reiterate, the SLS is a non-reusable rocket, which means that NASA will have to build entirely new rocket stages for each upcoming Artemis mission. That's in stark contrast to SpaceX's fully reusable Starship, which the space agency is still hoping to tap for Artemis III, the first crewed trip to the Moon's surface.If NASA does indeed give up on the SLS, Berger suggests that the agency may have to get creative by "launching Orion on one rocket" such as SpaceX's Falcon Heavy, and then "docking with a (separately launched) [United Launch Alliance] Centaur V and boosting it to the Moon."Whether such a Plan B is even on the table,though,is unclear at best."Honestly the people who will ultimately make this decision aren't even in place yet," Berger wrote in a followup tweet, likely referring to the incoming Trump administration. "But there is a big desire for big changes."More on the SLS: NASA Keeping Issue With Moon Rocket a SecretShare This Article

    Trump Team Reportedly Getting Fed Up With Elon Musk's Weird Behavior
    Musk is "behaving as if hes a co-president."White House DownSpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk and president-elect Donald Trumpbecame inseparable toward the end of the election but as the bromance deepens, Trump's team is reportedly growing wary.Musk is "behaving as if hes a co-president and making sure everyone knows it," one person familiar with the matter .Just last night, Trump announced that Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy would helm the new Department of Government Efficiency or, um, "DOGE" for short. The mortifying acronym represents "'The Manhattan Project' of our time," Trump's statement purports,underscoring Musk's apparent sway in the upcoming administration.Love at First FightWhether the mind-meld between Trump and Musk will last is up for debate. Tech guru Kara Swisher predicted this week that the duo are likely to have a falling out, "because they're both really strong personalities who like to be the center of attention."If Trump does eventually ditch Musk, it wouldn't be without precedent; he flamed out with an epic proportion of his own cabinet during his first term, and even publicly battled Musk before making up during the most recent election.In some ways, the two have a lot in common. Both Trump and Musk are fond of spreading conspiracy theoriesonline, and are engaged in many of the same far-right culture wars around immigration, gender identity and the economy. In other domains, though, their allyship seems more tenuous: Musk remains the CEO of Tesla, for instance, while Trump is a longtime foe of electric vehicles.Any potential rift between the two is likely to be more emotional than factual, though. If there's one thing neither man can stand, it's other people getting credit for what they consider to be their own accomplishments."Hes sure taking lots of credit for the presidents victory," NBC's source continued, speaking of Musk. "Bragging about America PAC and X to anyone who will listen. Hes trying to make President Trump feel indebted to him. And the president is indebted to no one."More on Elon Musk: Elon Musk's Grok AI Blasts Elon Musk as Huge Spreader of MisinformationShare This Article

    Russian Hackers Exploit New NTLM Flaw to Deploy RAT Malware via Phishing Emails
    Nov 14, 2024Ravie LakshmananMalware / VulnerabilityA newly patched security flaw impacting Windows NT LAN Manager (NTLM) was exploited as a zero-day by a suspected Russia-linked actor as part of cyber attacks targeting Ukraine.The vulnerability in question, CVE-2024-43451 (CVSS score: 6.5), refers to an NTLM hash disclosure spoofing vulnerability that could be exploited to steal a user's NTLMv2 hash. It was patched by Microsoft earlier this week."Minimal interaction with a malicious file by a user such as selecting (single-click), inspecting (right-click), or performing an action other than opening or executing could trigger this vulnerability," Microsoft revealed in its advisory.Israeli cybersecurity company ClearSky, which discovered the zero-day exploitation of the flaw in June 2024, said it's been abused as part of an attack chain that delivers the open-source Spark RAT malware."The vulnerability activates URL files, leading to malicious activity," the company said, adding the malicious files were hosted on an official Ukrainian government site that allows users to download academic certificates.The attack chain involves sending phishing emails from a compromised Ukrainian government server ("doc.osvita-kp.gov[.]ua") that prompts recipients to renew their academic certificates by clicking on a booby-trapped URL embedded in the message.This leads to the download of a ZIP archive containing a malicious internet shortcut (.URL) file. The vulnerability is triggered when the victim interacts with the URL file by right-clicking, deleting, or dragging it to another folder.The URL file is designed to establish connections with a remote server ("92.42.96[.]30") to download additional payloads, including Spark RAT."In addition, a sandbox execution raised an alert about an attempt to pass the NTLM (NT LAN Manager) Hash through the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol," ClearSky said. "After receiving the NTLM Hash, an attacker can carry out a Pass-the-Hash attack to identify as the user associated with the captured hash without needing the corresponding password."The Computer Emergency Response Team of Ukraine (CERT-UA) has linked the activity to a likely Russian threat actor it tracks as UAC-0194.In recent weeks, the agency has also warned that phishing emails bearing tax-related lures are being used to propagate a legitimate remote desktop software named LiteManager, describing the attack campaign as financially motivated and undertaken by a threat actor named UAC-0050."Accountants of enterprises whose computers work with remote banking systems are in a special risk zone," CERT-UA warned. "In some cases, as evidenced by the results of computer forensic investigations, it may take no more than an hour from the moment of the initial attack to the moment of theft of funds."Found this article interesting?

    Comprehensive Guide to Building a Strong Browser Security Program
    Nov 13, 2024The Hacker NewsBrowser Security / SaaS SecurityThe rise of SaaS and cloud-based work environments has fundamentally altered the cyber risk landscape. With more than 90% of organizational network traffic flowing through browsers and web applications, companies are facing new and serious cybersecurity threats. These include phishing attacks, data leakage, and malicious extensions. As a result, the browser also becomes a vulnerability that needs to be protected.LayerX has released a comprehensive guide titled "Kickstarting Your Browser Security Program" This in-depth guide serves as a roadmap for CISOs and security teams looking to secure browser activities within their organization; including step-by-step instructions, frameworks, and use cases. Below, we bring its main highlights.Prioritizing Browser SecurityBrowsers now serve as the primary interface for SaaS applications, creating new malicious opportunities for cyber adversaries. The risks include:Data leakage - Browsers can expose sensitive data by allowing employees to unintentionally upload or download it outside of organizational controls. For example, pasting source code and business plans into GenAI tools.Credential theft - Attackers can exploit the browser to steal credentials using methods like phishing, malicious extensions, and reused passwords.Malicious access to SaaS resources - Adversaries can use the stolen credentials to perform account takeover and access SaaS applications from wherever they are, no need to infiltrate the network.Third-party risks - Attackers can exploit third-party vendors, who access internal environments using unmanaged devices with weaker security postures.Traditional network and endpoint security measures are not sufficient for protecting modern organizations from such browser-borne threats. Instead, a browser security program is required.How to Kickstart Your Browser Security ProgramThe guide emphasizes a strategic, phased approach to implementing browser security. Key steps include:Step 1: Mapping and PlanningTo kickstart your browser security program, the first step is mapping your threat landscape and understanding your organization's specific security needs. This begins with assessing the short-term exposure to browser-borne risks, such as data leakage, credential compromise, and account takeovers. You should also factor in regulatory and compliance requirements. A detailed assessment will help identify immediate vulnerabilities and gaps, allowing you to prioritize addressing these issues for faster results.Once the short-term risks are understood, set the long-term goal for your browser security. This involves considering how browser security integrates with your existing security stack, such as SIEM, SOAR, and IdPs, and determining whether browser security becomes a primary security pillar in your stack. This strategic analysis allows you to evaluate how browser security can replace or enhance other security measures in your organization, helping you future-proof your defenses.Step 2: ExecutionThe execution phase starts by bringing together key stakeholders from various teams like SecOps, IAM, data protection, and IT, who will be impacted by browser security. Using a framework like RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) can help define each team's role in the rollout. This ensures all stakeholders are involved, creating alignment and clear responsibilities across the teams. Collaboration will ensure smooth execution and to avoid siloed approaches to browser security implementation.Next, a short-term and long-term rollout plan should be defined.Start by prioritizing the most critical risks and users based on your initial assessment.Find and implement a browser security solution.The rollout should include a pilot phase where the solution is tested on select users and apps, monitoring user experience, false positives, and security improvements.Define clear KPIs and milestones for each phase to measure progress and ensure the solution is being fine-tuned as it is implemented across the organization.Enhance your program gradually by prioritizing specific applications, security domains, or addressing high-severity gaps. For example, you may choose to focus on specific SaaS apps for protection or focus on broad categories like data leakage or threat protection.As the program matures, address unmanaged devices and third-party access. This step requires ensuring that policies like least-privileged access are enforced, and that unmanaged devices are closely monitored.Lastly, assess your browser security program's overall success in detecting and preventing browser-borne risks. This step involves reviewing how effective your security measures have been in stopping threats like phishing, credential theft, and data leakage. A successful browser security solution should demonstrate tangible improvements in risk mitigation, false positives, and overall security posture, providing a clear return on investment for the organization.Future-Proofing Enterprise SecurityThe success of your security program depends on robust short-term and long-term planning. Your organization should regularly review your security strategy to ensure it is up-to-date and able to adapt to changing threats. Today, this means investing in browser security strategies and tools. To learn more about this approach and get practices and frameworks you can follow, read the complete guide.Found this article interesting?
