At the Final Cut Pro Creative Summit in Cupertino this weekend, Apple gave fans an early hands-on preview of the upcoming iMac Pro, which is slated to go on sale later this year. According to CultofMac, Apple demoed the iMac Pro along with Final Cut Pro X 10.4, allowing event attendees to see its “most powerful Mac ever” being used for 8K video editing and virtual reality experiences.

Clearly targeted at users that need a serious amount of computing performance, the iMac Pro is not only Apple’s most powerful all-in-one computer, but is also the first black iMac ever. It will ship with an 18-core Intel Xeon processor and Radeon Pro Vega graphics, with the baseline model starting at US $4,999.
The latest Final Cut Pro X 10.4 is expected to launch later this year while the iMac Pro should hit the stores in December.

Good luck to them. Final Cut has been losing market share in the pro space for a long time now. I doubt they’ll get it back
