Xcode on this thing could be amazing. Imagine having a live preview a visionOS app while editing it in a window right next to it.

This actually never crossed my mind that FCP could also be a native app for Vision Pro. I was only thinking it would be available using it as a display for Mac. Cant wait to see it in action now!
Agreed. Although I’d prob be more than happy to just use the VR style display via my Mac, having a native app would probably allow for more headset functionality.
Cool Idea I think but isn't that taxing on the Battery? And If I only use it at home, wouldn't I use it on another mac and just use the Vision as a Display?
When they talked about its uses as a computer, they pretty much implied it would be plugged in, not on battery power. I don't think Apple expects people to use FC Pro on battery power if they don't have to since it only has a 2-hour battery life. I think Final Cut will drain it quickly, as I've been using FC Pro on my iPad, and battery life suffers.
As to your second point, I know it's hard to believe, but not everyone owns a Mac (insert shocked face). If I'm going to pay $3,500, then it better be a stand-alone device. One that I don't need a Mac, iPad, or iPhone to work. For those already in the Apple ecosystem, I would probably only use it as an additional display unless the Vision FC Pro version is a complete redesign to take advantage of "Spacial Computing."
Oh I get that, I'm just not sure that the Power of an M2, even though it is quite impressive for what it is, is really sufficient to do something in Final Cut that couldn't be done in iMovie. But maybe I'm just not in the loop right now. How good does FCP work for you on your iPad so far? What kind of projects are you doing?
I was surprised how well FCP works on the iPad. For some features, it works better than the Mac version. There’s no slowness or stuttering at all. It’s easy to edit videos, and the best feature is the ability to create live drawings. I just started using it to edit 4k videos for my YouTube channel.
