Thanks pal. For this one I was using a fuji xt4 with some adapted canon FD lenses. So the BROLL was shot on a Canon FD SSC 55mm F1.2 (gorgeous) and the main footage i think was the 24mm f2.8. Mostly using the 16-55 f2.8 fuji lens at moment when want to just use the auto focus! Thanks for watching. :)
A bit of a shift back to some more content on creative tools this week - Let me know: What's missing from the list and what's the most important app you use for getting your productive creativity on!? Thanks pals.
Hi Simon I love your videos, they are so helpful. Can you tell me what mirrorless camera you use to shoot your video? Any suggestions on buying my first camera for UA-cam videos?
Thanks! Yeah I use a Fuji xt4 with their 16-55 f2.8 premium lens. I also have a set of adapted manual focus canon fd Ssc vintage lenses I use for BROLL that have great filmic character. Fuji is a great camera if you like photography too and messing with settings manually (can’t beat the colours!) - but I would say Sony are a great bet for reliable auto focus for regular self filming. APSC sensors are a good middle ground to start with if you don’t want to pay tons on full frame lens and bodies. Good luck!
Subbed straight away, man!!!! After watching your other app videos. Fab channel. Just had my iPad Pro for all the things you describe. Fabulous work, man. Thank you.
@@BetterCreating Awesome knowledge being shared. I’ve ramped up my ability to utilise the iPadPro within an hour or two because of your tutorials. Big love, mahn!
Thanks for sharing these wonderful tips. I use Notion on my iPad but find that the font size when using the app is rather small for viewing. How do you increase the font size ?
Bear notes app. And Darkroom photo editor. Two apps that in my opinion deserve to be on any iPad app list. Would love to hear your thoughts on these. Thanks.
10 days can't decide what to buy, MBP or Ipad and after this video i sad "fuck it" Ipad will it be. I don't care about file system , what needs to be done is easy.
I’ve purchased Mojo after your recommendation. I’m gradually getting rid of my much larger PC for this lightweight M1 iPad Air. I already had LumaFusion, and use the iPad exclusively now to make content for social media. One thing I can’t figure out how to do is export text graphics from Mojo with a transparent background. Is it just with chromakeys, or is there a way to remove the background?
@@BetterCreating Thank you! I was wondering how you did it. I’m subbed now and will get notified when you’re coming out with more content :) The Mojo hack is awesome, and can’t wait to see what else you’ve got coming (maybe DaVinci Resolve for iPad)!
Awesome job Simon. I’m sure Better Creating is going to become a massive channel in the near future. PixelMator Pro is also a great app to replace Lightroom by the way.
@@FlorianBeaufreton Great stuff - will check out more of your stuff too. :) I’m waiting on news about some development funding for the podcast: hoping to make it a bit more strategically with a first short series maybe. So could be v soon, could be a while. Let’s see! Have some interesting people lined up to talk to thou. 👍 stay in touch
@@FlorianBeaufreton ps. Have you considered creating subtitles in English? My French is average to say the least! And would love to be able to watch with the cc’s on! :)
This has just made me want to upgrade my ipad! And very excited to try these new apps out to help my Artwork and photography page! Really good explanation of everything!
I use a fuji Xt4 with various lenses - mostly 16-55 2.8 from fuji, but also a set of adapted manual focus adapted canon FD ssc vintage lenses (55mm 1.2 is my favourite). Rode mics, neewer LED bi colour lights and soft boxes - but need to upgrade now! Cheers
Hi, Yeah Todoist is a great app - but yes - I now do all my task management in Notion using the GTD method - check out this video for how it works ua-cam.com/video/PuG0sLiIL1o/v-deo.html - there's also one on how to build it for yourself. :)
Thanks for the video, and the next what I will say is not about you, but just about overall situation with all the apps nowadays. Why its all frucking subscriptions now. 60$ for this, 50$ for that, 30$ for few other things (for a year subscription). I get it, money, but is it really a good strategy for long-term income for those companies? Why I can just buy a procreate, but I should pay 55$ a year for a calendar?
Totally agree! The subscription model was just introduced to a teleprompter app I use - started as a one off payment - I’ve used it happily for years and now they stopped access to the old model and want £4 a month… come one!
Yeah, a shame: it’s quite old video now - might be time for an update. :) Email me at hello@bettercreating.com with what’s on your mind if you like. Thanks
SUBSCRIBED from Japan! Cheers for all the Info. I edit all my videos on iPad and just started shooting using only my iPhone. Really impressed with how it all works. I'm still in the process of trying to create Subtitles using Lumafusion, so if you got any tips on that would be AMAZING!
I just want to add VN video editor to this list. It is free (has ads, but not a lot) and its quite feature packed (you can do most stuff you’d want out of a pro video editor, including some color grading, chroma key, speed modification, overlaying videos/photos, etc. And its FAST on an ipad pro. If you are not a pro-level video editor editor, you can get away with using it instead of Luma fusion (Luma is still the best option for ipad tho, but its pricey).
I personally love an app called Endless paper because you can very easily use it for brainstorming since it stretches endlessly in any direction and you can zoom in many times to write like a text inside of a text inside of a text and so on if you need that for some reason. You can also use it for really cool drawings where there is like a painting inside a painting.
Hi Simon. Thanks for great content! Do you have or can you make a «step-by-step-how to» about handwriting on greenscreen in ProCreate importing to LumaFusion? I have written in GoodNotes5 on black canvas and importen to LumaFusion - but that is really not working as well as you did here 😂 All the best from Norway 😊
Just drop a bright green back ground on the procreate or GoodNotes page and write on top of it! Simple! Then you can use the chroma key function in Luma to key it out.
can you do a viewers audit by country and perhaps if it’s possible start, as a Englishman, start saying pounds instead of dollars. It’s virtually a deal breaker for me re subscription.
Hi Ray - since 25% of my Audience are in America, and probably another 15% use the dollar, with only 6% in the UK at the moment - try to be as inclusive as possible. :)
Thanks for making this. I noticed you did a screen shot in LumaFusion to pull into affinity. Have you used the snapshot feature that will take a photo out of your video? It’s under the share button.
Hi, I love your video👍🏻✨by the way, may I know which is better for making video by using adobe premiere rush or luma fusion ? And what’s the differences between these 2 app?😃
Afraid I’ve not used premiere rush - but pretty sure luma will be better as it’s iOS only so fully designer for it. It’s closer to final cut in user interface and has ability to link with Final Cut Pro (send a project to it). Cheers.
Man. your videos look really cool. what camera do you use?
Thanks pal. For this one I was using a fuji xt4 with some adapted canon FD lenses. So the BROLL was shot on a Canon FD SSC 55mm F1.2 (gorgeous) and the main footage i think was the 24mm f2.8.

Vintage lenses are the best … if you can be bothered to manual focus them !
@@BetterCreating Thaqnk you for the answer. It was exactly what I was expecting from you

Have you tried alight motion? It’s a great motion graphics app, you can create some quite advanced stuff on this app, it has heaps of features!
@@hourglassentertainment237 ooo interesting - thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check it out.
Great video but curious if you use a screen protector for your iPad?
Thanks! Currently no… curious to try paperlike thou
Wow ! Great review !
Thanks!
Just got an iPad 9th gen and just discovered your channel so I'm watching all your videos as a boxset

Vey instructive and many thanks. Just want to confirm which iPad Pro do you have in your hands? is the 12.9" or 11"?
Thanks! Yeah; it’s a 2018 iPad Pro 12.9.
Thanks for sharing these wonderful tips. I use Notion on my iPad but find that the font size when using the app is rather small for viewing. How do you increase the font size ?
Think you can do it using command + or -

It doesn’t appear photoshop mix exists anymore. Is there a replacement you would recommend?
Defos thinking of picking one up now! Thanks for the app tips 🙌🏽
Also subscribed. Great channel. Thanks
Great to have you Chris! Check out the recent iPad and desk accessories videos too - you’ll enjoy I think if getting into ipad. :)
I use LumaFusion on my iPad. Not complaining not gonna lie. It’s really good and iPads are more than powerful enough
Yeah it’s a great app. Bit of competition now thou with Resolve for iPad!
@@BetterCreating I can’t lie I didn’t know that existed😂 gonna have to check it out

Hello Simon, Do you luv to do drawing’s?, sorry had to ask from an old Saturday Night Live script..lol
Haha - I remember that one! Well quite, one does enjoy one’s etchings.
Sadly, Adobe Photoshop Mix has been removed from the app store 😞
Forget about Luna fusion. Davinci Resolve is the new video boss and dwarfs all other video editors
Completely! It’s great it’s now on iPad! :)
What do you like to create a.pdf when you don't have access to a printer
You can do this I think in the files app... possibly...
I think Adobe has pulled Photoshop Mix off the app store now.
That is very sad if true! :(
