Am I the last one to switch to DaVinci Resolve?

@hakeypokey Год назад

Once you switch to Davinci, you will never go back, trust me. I leave Premiere and Final Cut 5 years ago, and only choose DR for my media publications.

@GameBoisTV Год назад

We’re on FCP. Waiting until next keynote. If apple doesn’t announce any new features for FCP, then making the switch

You're at least the last one to switch to 16:9 exports.. What's with the black borders in this video?

Lack of external drive support kills this, no one even slightly serious will use this

@TheVerge Год назад

Agree. I don't want a hard drive dangling off to the side, but I also don't want to pay too much for internal storage (while also paying for iCloud Drive too). - Vjeran

@hl236 Год назад

This is the biggest shocker for me. It’s not only about the cost of storage but the ability to take a hard drive with videos from anyone and start editing.

@naavidmorshed5516 Год назад

@@DatMilu2K Macs are not gimmicks. I don't like Macs myself and there are genuine arguments against using Macs. They are indeed overpriced (unless base mb air) and having loads of proprietary softwares. I have to use a Mac as I work with flutter. I need xcode with iOS simulators and the workarounds are too painful (tried hackintosh, couldn't fix audio issues). Everything else I do on my Mac, I can do just as well on my 2016 desktop (or any old setup) with mint on it. Unless of course, you want to use Microsoft office or Adobe's softwares but I don't use those. Gimmicks don't suit Macs, overpriced semi-luxury hardware? Most likely.

@garretthamlow Год назад

Truly such a head scratcher. An M2 MacBook Air for 1000 less would let you use the full version of FCP

@AtPlume Год назад

It sure is _odd_ that Apple would limit something which _coincidentally_ forces people to purchase iPads with higher storage which just so happen to be upgrades that are notoriously ridiculously expensive. What an oddly specific omission by Apple, indeed.

@Mark_LaCroix Год назад

Interesting how many total dealbreakers there are in this for just normal video editing workflows. It feels like Apple might be targeting an audience of either newer content creators who will adapt to its limitations, or Apple-diehards who for some reason would see value in starting a project on an M1 iPad and then moving it to their M1 MacBook to finish. That's perfectly fine, I guess, but I hope they aren't expecting to attract anyone else.

@TheVerge Год назад

Oh man. During the testing process I kept asking myself if "I'm the old-school editor at this point!? Is this what the kids want?!" Went through a whole existential crisis on this one! 😆

@bradavon Год назад

It's MVP. Minimum viable product. Basically enough so it works. More will come I expect

@Carla-ec6xn 11 месяцев назад

I think this is just the first batch of implementations, they'll probably keep on adding more features in later updates until both desktop and iPad are similar, and quality of life updates that make more sense for a touch interface, kind of like what's been happening with photoshop

@Marngel Год назад

I expected the iPad version of FCP to not come with certain features that are in the Mac. But the features missing and how many they are missing is actually quite a deal breaker. Like, how could you not be able to add markers or compound clips; or even import entire folders? That last one is quite a deal breaker for me tbh. Guess I’m sticking with the Mac for my editing for now.

@TheElectroclassic Год назад

we'll have to wait until FCP on iPad is more mature. Kinda like what happened with FCP X, back in the day.

@mashirokobato5509 Год назад

Full feature on ipad who gonna buy mac version of FCPX? So they decide to stripped down the FCPX on ipad

@TheLillianYoung Год назад

Same.

@pieceofshitzu2 Год назад

Apple is gonna add all of these features in a software update in 2 years but then will say you need the latest iPad 🥲

@bellacatears 11 месяцев назад

Yeah... I was stubborn and tried it anyway and it doesn't let me separate sound from clip (essential to my workflow) nor exporting in vertical mode... I wanted an easy solution to edit TikToks on the go but seems like no can do

@domramsey Год назад

Didn't expect it to be quite that bad! And no external storage? That alone is a complete deal breaker.

@NatVoisey Год назад

Great review. Surprising lack of simple shortcuts like marker and disable clip.

@dawgcanjumphigh Год назад

The iPad one looks clunky and the fact it doesn’t let you edit off external is a killer. Unless you use the iPhone for your videos to use on the iPad, those files are huge. Forget it on the Panasonic GH6 and using the iPad running Final Cut Pro on it. I’ll just keep using Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro on Mac.

@jasonjames524 Год назад

Best review I’ve seen so far, you’re not out here selling dreams with this new app. I think i set my expectations too high for this. I am not a DaVinci user but I think DaVinci for the iPad is better in many ways. anyone else agree?

@ghost-user559 Год назад

Everyone agrees. The other Apple tech RU-vid channels all sold out and took some back room deal to pretend this is acceptable. Resolve or lumafusion is the clear victor here.

@ThomasJarvis117 Год назад

@FlyingPigChannel Год назад

As someone who isn't even a serious video editor (I use Final Cut Pro just for my RU-vid channel and some personal projects), there are so many turnoffs in this version of Final Cut that I can't imagine myself or anyone who's actually serious about video editing using this. So many basic features like external drive support, folder importing, markers, compound clips and disabling clips just aren't here. Not to mention the cost, nearly $3000 for a fully loaded iPad with storage, a keyboard, and a pencil, as well as the subscription fee for final cut. Professionals would be better off buying a Mac with a one time fee for Final Cut Pro as it would likely be cheaper and much more powerful. This feels like an iMovie Pro at this point, not a true version of Final Cut Pro. There might still be hope though, it will be interesting to see where Apple takes this in the future.

@Bauzi Год назад

Yes. So much right. Are you supposed to only use your footage you filmed and downloaded on the iPad? Or do the seriously want you to copy all your media on this before you can start your edits. It's so ridicolous.

@mashirokobato5509 Год назад

Nah.. if FCPX full version on ipad Mac will be irrelevant.. unless Apple decided to ditch MacOS and turn it into IpadOS of MacBook

@JordanVegBike 10 месяцев назад

I am more of a casual creator than professional editor, that said I still work with 4k/6k, 10bit files and thought FCP for iPad might be perfect to bring on some of my multi week/months long bicycle touring trips so that I could edit my videos as I travel while laying in my hammock or at a hostel or coffee shop. Form factor is basically perfect and if the battery life is at least okay for a few hours of editing then that's great. But lack of stabilization (which is already pretty poor on FCP anyways) and no ease in/out for key frames is a pretty big omission.

@FireLineStudios Год назад

So here’s something else I just realized. Once you import your video into your photos app, I found that when you import those videos into the Final Cut project, they are duplicated and placed elsewhere on the iPad as well effectively, needing even more space.

@markoconnell804 Год назад

Since you are home why not also hook it to a big screen TV so you can show us how it works on the bigger screen. Does it let you draw on the iPad and at the same time edit on the tv?
