Final Cut Studio version 3 was released on July 23, 2009. It was the final release upon discontinuation of the suite and contains six main applications and several smaller applications used in content creation.
- Final Cut Pro 7 – "real-time editing for DV, SD and HD"
- Motion 4 – "real-time motion graphics design"
- audioediting and sound design"
- DVD Studio Pro 4 – encoding, authoring and burning.
- Color 1.5 – a new color grading application adapted from Silicon Color's FinalTouch.
- Compressor 3.5 – a video encoding tool for outputting projects in different formats.
- Cinema Tools 4.5 – tools specific to film processing.
- Qmaster 3 – a distributed processing tool.
The applications are designed to integrate as a suite, to form a workflow. In particular:
- Final Cut Pro sequences can be exported to Soundtrack Pro for audio tweaking or music scoring
- Final Cut Pro sequences can be sent to Compressor, for encoding in an external format
- Final Cut Pro sequences can be exported to Motion, for motion graphics overlays, or LiveType, specifically for title overlays
- LiveType projects can be opened in Final Cut Pro without needing to be exported first
- Motion projects can be incorporated into DVD Studio Pro menus without needing to be exported first
- LiveFonts from LiveType can be used in Motion.
Final Cut Pro and Motion also integrate directly with Apple's discontinued Shake, a digital compositing package.

Marketing
Final Cut Studio has been positioned as an all-in-one production workflow system because of its integration of film, motion graphics and audio post-production tools in one suite. It is analogous to the iLife suite, which is aimed at consumers, insomuch as iMovie is the consumer counterpart of Final Cut Pro; GarageBand 3 is a consumer version of Logic Pro and Soundtrack Pro; and iDVD is the cut-down version of DVD Studio Pro. Like Motion, iMovie includes Core Image effects that can be applied in real time.
