Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 5:54:34 PM"It's so cool, why not add 2. Almost 35M pixels being drive by graphics on MacBook Pro."
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 5:54:57 PM"This level of expandability and performance is not possible on any other laptop."
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 5:55:10 PM"3 professional applications being used on the new MacBook Pro. Final Cut Pro."
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 5:55:21 PMSusan Prescott, VP of apps product marketing, is on stage.
-
dan.ackerman 10/27/2016 5:55:44 PMYou knew some of the big apps needed to be on board with Touch Bar -- first up is Final Cut.
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 5:55:45 PM"I'm really excited to show you how it takes advantage of the graphics ..."

Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 5:56:25 PM"The new Touch Bar lets me edit in ways I never could before. Right here int he Touch Bar, I can see my entire timeline and it shows me exactly where I am in my project. Ever better, it's fully interactive."

Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 5:56:38 PM"I can tap to jump to a specific section. I can even zoom in to get a closer look."
-
James Martin 10/27/2016 5:56:42 PM
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 5:56:55 PM"I want to add a clip. .. My Touch Bar automatically changes to show me the relevant controls."
-
James Martin 10/27/2016 5:56:59 PM
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 5:57:01 PM"I'm goig to add an audio clip to go with it."
-
dan.ackerman 10/27/2016 5:57:18 PMGreat use of context-sensitive touch controls here. It's almost like having a separate control surface hooked up to the laptop.
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 5:57:23 PM"But I see here in my timeline that the audio clip runs a little bit longer than I like. ... I can trim the end of the clip with just a tap in the Touch Bar."
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 5:57:35 PM"I can also do, with the Touch Bar, do things I do all the time."
-
dan.ackerman 10/27/2016 5:57:38 PMI'm sure you could ride faders in Logic or ProTools, for example.
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 5:57:45 PM"With a tap, I can add a fade in and a fade out. It's that simple."
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 5:58:18 PM"In fullscreen, the Touch Bar shows me the same detailed overview of my timeline, but it's great because now I can navigate without ever leaving full screen."
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 5:58:53 PM"Let's go to the end where I'm going to add one last shot. It's this rather dramatic shot of a sculpture in a botanical forest."
-

dan.ackerman 10/27/2016 5:59:03 PMSome people have tried making the entire bottom panel of a laptop an adaptable screen like this. Anyone remember the Acer Iconia 14-inch laptop? Read about it here:
Acer ICONIA 6120 Dual-Screen Touchbook - 14 - Core i5 480M - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - 4 GB RAM - 640 GB HDD review

Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 5:59:11 PM"Play around shows me that in context with a few seconds before and after."
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 5:59:39 PM"That is a quick look at Final Cut Pro with the incredible performance of the MacBook Pro and the deep integration with the Touch Bar."
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 5:59:43 PMSchiller is back up
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 6:00:04 PM"Photoshop. So many customers use Photoshop. So happy to have with us Bradee Evans, experience design manager of Adobe Photoshop."
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 6:00:14 PM"This new MacBook Pro and Photoshop are made for each other."
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 6:00:33 PM"I have up here on this screen an amazing image of a woman climbing ... cave in Greece."
-
dan.ackerman 10/27/2016 6:00:33 PMAnd...here's Photoshop! I first started using it back in...let's see...1994? I took a one-semester college summer course, and it's such a classic app, it still pretty much works the same way.
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 6:01:01 PM"The tool for cutting things out in Photoshop is select and mask." Usually in a menu somewhere but now on Touch Bar.

Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 6:01:20 PM"I can resize while I work. Totally this two-hand way of working. It's totally fun."
-
dan.ackerman 10/27/2016 6:01:25 PMOh man, adjusting the brush size in a Photoshop tool on the Touch Bar is genuinely exciting.
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 6:01:43 PM"This is great, this is definitely not Greece, but I'd like to be more dramatic."
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 6:02:11 PM"I'm going to go into my Touch Bar, go to my favorites, add a layer and go into full screen."
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 6:02:24 PM[ok guys, the gist is that you can use the Touch Bar for a lot of stuff in Photoshop]
-
James Martin 10/27/2016 6:02:33 PM
-
dan.ackerman 10/27/2016 6:02:45 PMInteresting -- throw a few tool buttons on the Touch Bar, then go fullscreen -- you can change/adjust tools without losing that full-screen view.

Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 6:03:03 PMCan change colors using the Touch Bar.
-
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 6:03:15 PMOne hand can be painting on the image and other could be moving to select color
-
dan.ackerman 10/27/2016 6:07:12 PMWill it show you a little vinyl image for scratching? I like the looping abilities shown off on the bar itself.
