Apple promotes AI, multicam features of Final Cut Pro for iPad, Mac

How about true multiple audio source support?

It would be great if Apple allowed the use of Bluetooth microphones (like Mic 2 or AirPods). They could simply add support for Bluetooth mics and the ability to request permission to use audio from a person’s AirPods on their iPhone. Then, something could be displayed in the Dynamic Island or notch to show that the audio is being used for Final Cut Camera.

Apple advertises this model as capable of shooting people climbing a wall from various angles, but it only works for video. It would be fantastic to use AirPods or Bluetooth mics placed on people as audio sources. 

This would also be perfect for quick interviews, eliminating the need for a handheld mic.

Pease add these features and ability to align all these video and audio sources in timeline.

Another feature that would set the Final Cut Pro Camera and Final Cut Pro for iPad apart could be better/higher bitrate HEVC compression settings, enhancing the quality of captured and exported videos by retaining more details but keeping the files smaller than ProRes.

One of the earliest demos I saw of this tech when it was first released, was using multiple audio sources.  They used a studio mic, and a couple of those little portable ones like the DJI.

DJI Mic and other wireless mics work with a USB-C/Lightning receiver. Yes, it is possible and widely praised feature to add a usb-c hub, plug-in SSD, batter, mic etc to an iPhone. 

However, to simply use a bluetooth mic like AirPods and DJI mic itself without a receiver you have to use an app like Filmic Pro. There are many scenarios when you would want that if you think about it. Travel (lighter and quicker setup without spare gear), live narration (AirPods work well when person turns head vs mic on clothes) to begin with...
