I went the LumaFusion route for editing on the iPad and the biggest frustration I had was exactly what you touched on…the snapping. There just isn’t the precision of the mouse like on my desktop. Happy to say I’m back on the laptop thanks to this super awesome generous human…you probably know him 😂 It’s been clutch since I’m doing much more editing and delivery on the road. Much love bro, always enjoy your content!

I just got an iPad recently for things like lighting plans, writing emails, editing photos and overall smaller tasks. But as I dig deeper and after seeing this video I’m starting to think maybe this could be my laptop replacement. It’s amazing to see how far the iPad has come and how other creators are incorporating into their workflows. Thanks for your perspective and great video!

This is a great synopsis of advantages/disadvantages…I’m using my M1 more and more as well! Thanks for these thoughts!

Just discovered your channel today and I’ve already found it hugely helpful. I’ve been a primarily stills photographer up to now and switched from Nikon to Fuji a few years ago. Now I’m getting into video, teaching myself DaVinci and just got an XH2, which I chose over the S because I wanted more resolution for stills. I’m really enjoying all your videos and find that you’re on a similar wavelength to me in the way you approach things. Thank you so much for putting all this out there!

I’m proud of you. You just work hard and work smart. I enjoy watching the journey of you becoming a better creative and better human. Stay blessed

Just got mine in the mail today. kzfaq.infoUgkxhcEDB3r-OJ3_X5hQzr7k1ZofTQy1ao_U The corners of the box was a little smashed but I think that’s more of the shipping’s fault. iPad was in perfect condition though. I ordered the yellow one thinking it was going to be a bright vibrant color. Instead I looks like more of a Gold color. I personally prefer the gold look. Definitely not disappointed but just a heads up to the ones expecting a brighter cream of yellow.

very insightful video! it’s amazing that resolve came to ipad finally haha i’ve been considering using it for editing on the go and this really gave me a good idea of how useful it could be for myself. it can only get better from here as it gets improved on in the future! thanks for making this video, Joshua!

Thank you very much. I am a beginner. What I am using now is the iMovie on iPhone Pro Max. Too limited for me in terms of choice of toolsd and screen size, and I am trying to decide between Macbook Air and iPad Pro as a main machine for VE. What really frustrates me in the iMovie is the lack of preciceness and slowing down the workflow because of this. I had no experience to work in editing programs with mouse, but i guess i will have this accuracy. And your descreiption how the pencil behaves helped me a lot. So I am now more inclined to having the laptop.

honestly this has been my mindset for a very long time now. I've been really been considering using an iPad pro for mobile and a desktop for my home work station. Then remote into my desktop through the iPad for anything that may require a desktop experience

I'm weighing a similar move. Small videos are fun to produce on my iPad air. The experience is more inspirational like you mentioned. I MBP at home is really just set up like a desktop and I'm weighing the switch to a Studio because I have one at work that I'll sometimes use and even though my MBP is spec'd out, it still chuggs sometimes compared to the Studio when I'm editing 4 angle multicam clips and stuff for our podcast. Great breakdown in your video, thanks!

as an avid iPad Pro user since the 3rd gen 12.9 inch came out I feel your opinion. The iPad Pro is amazing for games and watching content mixed in Dolby Vision and Atmos. However, I don't need to be on games and watching movies. The only thing it's good at is reading books. The KZfaq app on iPad is not a good experience with the iPadOS trackpad. You need to click and then drag to move the video to go into the home page of KZfaq. Apps like that make the experience not good if you want to use mainly mouse and keyboard. Touch is ok but I get tired of touch and apps are not great and are bigger and less refined on iPad anyways. They are mainly for an iPhone screen.

Appreciate you putting this together. I’ve always wondered if the larger iPad Pro could replace my laptop - and after this it’s still not there for me. I think the most i would do is client photo editing using Lightroom. But for video editing outside of quick LumaFusion pieces. To me the workarounds aren’t worth it. I feel you on the redundancy of having a Mac Studio and MBP - but i see it as a strength as i have duplicate workflows it’s all plug and play using affordable SSD and quickly move between studio and on the go. I tried the the 12.9 iPad on two different occasions and it always felt cumbersome to bring around for such limited capabilities and hacks to get things working. I added the iPad Mini this year to be my productivity and notebook tool. It’s ultra portable and using it on set to organize shoots is great. Great for having something on me to get ideas out and using lightweight tools for creation and running my business.

I do not recommend editing on the ipad at all, unless you’re on the road or have a really bad pc. It’s not stable at all and keeps crashing on my M2 ipad pro. Hopefully we’ll able to do it in the future.

It’s crazy to think that DaVinci and LumaFusion are better editors than apple has natively for their ‘pro’ iPad. I just got into video editing for work and since it’s not my primary thing my thought process was that going to FCP would be a faster way for me to get up to speed. I would love to be able to travel with just an iPad instead of bringing my laptop everywhere and be able to do everything. I feel like the iPad still isnt there yet with the file browser but it’s on its way. Great video as always.

i love that Davinci came out on the ipad pro, i used to be a FCPX editor when i had a MBP but when my MBP started to slow down i switched to the iPad M1 and started editing on Lumafusion, i loved it and missed some stuff, i still go back to Luma even tho Davinci is alot better, BUT its so confusing haha im just hoping so i'll stick to Luma since it does what i need the only thing i need that Luma doesnt have is a better way to color grade and more plugins.

Joshua, I’ve been eagerly awaiting this video. Guess I missed when it dropped but it’s excellent. Thanks so much for walking through your take and workflow. You deserve a new chair! Based on your closing thoughts why not the iPad and the laptop and scrap the desktop setup? I love editing at coffee shops or moving around the house and feel the power of even the M1 14 MBP is plenty for an all around solution.

Just entered this world, and I instantly get why everybody uses these

I seen someone else reference this video. But it looks super solid, I’m looking more for photography needs I’m pretty novice and not really videography but I just don’t see a lot of content for people using it for that. I don’t know if it’s photoshop isn’t as developed or what but regardless I’m still strongly considering it

As a guy who jumped RIGHT on board with the first M1 Ipad Pro 2TB , I came here to tell you to gtfoutta here but you opened up with such truth,. I got the mac stood and the ipad pairs wonderfully but, even with all the improvments they've made, I still wish I got the Macbook Air

A lot of the hurdle to use a touch-based/tablet/iOS over a desktop or laptop is a mental hurdle & relearning all those little things you're so used to doing keyboard shortcuts. If you can get past that you definitely open up a world of possibilities for more flexible editing solutions. I've always been a Windows guy but Apple suckered me in finally with the M1. The iPad is fantastic for culling photos and what got me over the line was tethering on the go without needing to bring another tripod etc. Quite surprised with how good Files is to access networked drives, NAS but the limitations in video apps are still a little too high for me to get around but can definitely see it being a mobile cutting device & color monitoring

What gig of ram? On the iPad? Will the 8gig handle the work load?

Port is actually thunderbolt. So if you get a thunderbolt hub it is much faster.

Awesome quality as always Cine! 🫶🏻 Can you do a Final Cut review for iPad? 🙏

May you export multichannel audio ? Example, 5+1 enter channel, clean etc ?

Hello! I have been inspired by your channel and now came her for help 😥 Yesterday I bought the M4 11" 256GB iPad Pro because I wanted a portable device to edit on Davinci Resolve my footage from the Fuji xh2s but it constantly crashes with external SSD or even with the footage on the internal storage, I'm so frustrated, I had reinstalled and rebooted the iPad but nothing works, :(

You know that usbc port is Thunderbolt. You can get a Thunderbolt dock and solve your bottleneck and charging and port issues.

HI! I have being iPad user for my suicidal setup for my Photography and Videography Business for more than 10 years now. I recently updated to an M2 iPad Pro and I can not create proxies in DaVinci Resolve and I would like to know if you have been able to do it. Bests regards from a Venezuelan in Panama!!!

There are several videos showing how to access all the pages for free.

do you think it is possible to edit multicam (2x Sony A7s3) file format 4k 60p 10 bit? on an ipad pro M4 with 8gb Ram? Thx

Wat you says abt M1 chip...same item

im just hoping for a final cut ipad app so i dont have to repurchase my plug ins. but davinci gets more tempting every day

1 years ago, my macbook was broken, and force me life with ipad, that so fun in 6 mothn period. and now my ipad slow and force me back to my macbook ( has been repaired ). i plan upgrade my ipad. is the davinci resolve still having crash?

Ive been debating on getting a M2 Mac Mini + M2 IPad Pro combo for 1080p video editing I plan to use both for editing but I want to use my IPad Pro for gaming and media consumption as well. Should I spend more for the 1TB 16GB IPad Pro or use that money to go for the base M2 Pro Mac Mini Regardless I am getting both of them, its just a matter of specs.

yea that magic keyboard needs way more power

Can you use the iPad Pro and then switch to a PC to finish the edit?

How is editing 4k footage? Do you have any problems?

I DO NOT WANT PEACE!!! I WANT PROBLEMS. ALWAYS!!! XD

What font do you use for your on-screen text? Thanks in advance

Hey so I was moving files in a similar way from my iPad pro to an external T7 hard drive and I was noticing my Files app filling up with like, ghost files of the ones I moved even after I deleted them. Is that happening for you?

Do you have any tips on how to record with iPad a post to KZfaq

Doesn’t the apple Magic Keyboard have an extra USB C? Does it not transfer data or is it just for power?

Are you using it with the speed editor? I can see using the iPad for travel

Is this done on the 8gb ram model?

Can ipad m2 or ipad m1 edit 4k video in da Vinci resolve??? Please answer it

are you using proxies with the ipad or full res footage? Any issues with relinking?

so does the ipad have the EDIT page or just the CUT page?

Where can I get your keyboard please
