Apple Final Cut Pro X, Logic Pro X free trials extended to 90 days

Now is the best time to try out Apple's pro video and audio editing software as both Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro X will have extended 90-day trials.

And if you want to use it beyond that, you'll need to pay for the license fee. You can download the program over at Apple's website.

It isn't clear yet when Logic Pro X will be rolling out, but with the announcement, it should be out pretty soon.

YouTube Music's mobile app now has a song lyrics section

YouTube Music logoIt's a feature most music streaming services have, so it's good to know that YouTube Music is following suit. The mobile app of the service now adds song lyrics to individual song pages, letting you have that impromptu karaoke session of your dreams. But you're going to have to do your scrolling. The feature doesn't automatically scroll in time with the song. If you want to pull up the lyrics, you need to play a song first, then tap on the small "i" icon on the bottom left side of the screen. The words will show up similar to how they are presented in Google Search.
