Hi(Bonjour),

But Final Cut 12.4 update drops Mac OS Sequoia support, asking for 26.6 minimum...

Super happy to see a bunch of fixes.

I thought we could adjust focus from iPhone-shot videos for a long time now. I remember doing it years ago. I guess this just adds Final Cut Camera (odd name for a camera app) support for that? And for some reason an entirely new OS is required for that old feature? OK.
