Final Cut Pro said to be available for Apple Vision Pro at launch
According to YouTuber and filmmaker Matti Haapoja, Final Cut Pro will be available for the Apple Vision Pro at launch — but it's not clear exactly how.
On Monday, Apple announced Vision Pro, a mixed-reality headset that marks Apple's official entrance into the AR/VR market. One of the largest selling features is the ability to work in a virtual space with a series of digital "monitors."
The announcement profiled a number of apps, including Mail, TV, Safari, and Freeform. However, according to Matti Haapoja, Final Cut Pro will also be available for Vision Pro — at launch.
I just tried Apple Vision Pro and it's gonna completely change filmmaking, storytelling and content creation.

I've never experienced that sort of presence, feeling like I'm there in the scene.
It's currently unclear how this would be accomplished. During Monday's presentation, a video showed a creative working on Final Cut Pro via a Mac window.
However, it is possible that the Vision Pro could use the iPadOS version of Final Cut Pro, or perhaps even a standalone version designed specifically for the device.
In May, Apple released Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for the iPad. Users are able to purchase a subscription to either app for $4.99 per month or $49 per year.

The actual tweet where he made the "available at launch" claim:
Quite the scoop for a random YouTuber.
He’s not some random YouTuber, he’s got a decent number of subs and is big into video editing and production etc. But I stopped watching him a long time ago after he sold out to Premiere Pro so I’m a little shocked to see him saying anything about Apple products. Cool, I guess.
I know next to nothing about video editing, but this seems like a pretty big deal. Certainly bigger than the small number of comments would suggest.
I assume it’s for producing Vision Pro media.
I couldn't imagine how uncomfortable this would be at the end of a 10 hour edit day. Previewing your work perhaps, but actually editing all day? No thanks. Maybe a few edits here and there for simple social media post, but we're working on a documentary or serial for TV workflow? I have serious doubts and expect some serious caveats.
