- Can you use an iPad Pro (running iPadOS) with an external hard drive/SSD? In this video (which I should have posted a while ago haha) I go over how you can use an external USB SSD (Samsung T5) with iPad Pro (in my case the 11" 64GB) and utilize the storage space for photo and video editing!
My SSD: www.amazon.com... - Наука та технологія
Exactly what I was looking for. Strangely no one else has done a proper video about this workflow. Really well made too, quick and informative.
Good vid. Thanks for the effort and the sharing. In the many UA-cam vids I have watched during my iPad research, your’s was the only one that straight out explained that the vid footage is still copied to the iPad’s internal drive and that you are not editing from the external hard drive. That is a critical piece of information. Stay well during our current COVID madness. Thumbs up.
Happy New Years Everyone! I wish you and your family a wonderful, happy and healthy new decade!
Corona...
Didnt go quite as planned
Thanks for the video! I currently edit my photos in Lightroom on my iPad pro just simply because I love the touch interface to edit photos. What I do is dump my images to a Qnap NAS drive over the Qfile app with my sd card connected to my iPad pro. Then when reviewing my photos off the nas I download the photos I would like to edit inside of Lightroom. Once my edits are complete they are automatically uploaded to Google Photos for a nice looking Jpeg image suitable for posting to social media, all while I have my RAW files backed up to the NAS that I can access remotely anywhere as long as I have a connection. I think this is a great way to edit on the iPad pro but I agree with you once I am able to simply just mount my NAS to my iPad remotely and edit off the drive instead of the iPad it would be amazing. Maybe some day!
Now, LumaFusion allows for editing on the hard drive rather than copying it to your iPad.
With which ipad?? Ipad pro m1???
@@nainitack1206 I have the iPad Air 4.
@@iRoswell what about ipad pro m1?
@@nainitack1206 it’ll be the same. Any ipad that has the usb-c connection will work.
Is it on the ipad os 15?
Would have been helpful if you described a) how to purge local ipad storage and b) how to back up projects to the
cloud or local storage
I just bought an iPad Air 4 but saved this video to use as a reference . Thank you for sharing your knowledge !
Same
I just need the iPad Pro for drawing, and wouldn't need to use the photos saved on the hard disk directly from the hard disk, so this absolutely works for me! Thank You so much!
Hi Noah, you covered the basic blocks much better than others. Next slightly slower delivery might help. Thanks Chris
that is called a honest review.....
TIPS:
-If you are using an iPad Pro with USB C you do not need to have it connected to a power source for the external HDD to work. Mine is 4tb and runs just fine without a power cable on the iPad pro.
- FINAL; If your external mechanical drive doesn’t show up immediately it means that the iPad OS is doing as Disk Utility scan in the background. It could take between 10-15 minutes depending on how large is the HDD(4tb). Do NOT let the iPad go to sleep during this time, set it so the screen stays ON always.
The External HDD will show in FILES app after that time is pass.... i have tested this and it works every time.
Can the iPad Pro 11 copy and transfer files other than photos and videos?
@@ShawnOliver Yes
This really helps me not lug around my MBP on vacation....I don't really need a laptop besides backing up drone files.
What device is that that you’re using as the hub? Do you have a link?
Here’s the link to the product amzn.to/3f0cbub
The I Adapt USB c hub Noah is using here costs $100 (thanks to Tiny B's reply to Spencer Carruth's comment below for that info and a link to the product, see for yourself), and the Samsung SSD is about $150-$160 from what I'm seeing online. Apple charges about $150 to go to a 256 gig SSD from the base 64 gig SSD on the iPad Pro. Depending on your needs, it might just be worthwhile to upgrade to the 256 gig SSD to begin with.
ugh.. Noah's iPad Pro videos always make me want to watch more of his videos. I wish I had an iPad Pro to experiment with as well lol
I Agree really hoping they allow you to edit directly off the external drive - needs to happen!!!
Hey man! Very useful video! Would you mind telling me the type of adapter that you’re using in this video? Once again thank you big time!
This is the adapter amzn.to/3l15R9C I use it myself on my iPad Pro 2020
@@diytainment thanks for the link!👊🏾
I only have 64GB iPad pro so when I saw the update that iMovie now support external storage I was so excited.
Turned out it still need to copy to internal storage.
What about lumafusion? Can we edit directly through the ssd?
@@faris6800 No, It copies files to local storage. But you can save rendered file to external then delete the copied files from you internal storage when done.
@@ILFECguatemalaIs it the same with the new ipad air 4?
@@faris6800 Yes, Same deal. Let's hope they change that in the future.
@@ILFECguatemala so if i delete the file after I have finished editing the video I can still save space on my 64gb ipad?
It really helped. Now, I just need a new iPad Pro 😂
😁😁😁😁😁
Get it... It's worth it
Xd same here
😄
😂😂😂😂
Apple should create a tiny internal slot like maybe the size of your thumbnail. At which you could expanded storage just be a tiny little disc like the size fingernail and have a storage capacity from anywhere from 8gb to 1tb. All while not having anything dangling from it or altering the profile of said ipad. That would be soooo great.
So happy I found your channel. Been contemplating on switching to an iPad only set up for work and this video answered a lot of my questions.
Thanks for this video, this is the EXACT scenario I was wondering if the iPad Pro could complete (and your video did not disappoint).
Having to copy the files over to internal to have the program start to work on them, and then exporting them again, is still the productivity killer. macOS or most others can work on external media directly, this is still where iPadOS hampers productivity.
Right now most people seem to edit on an iPad just to make videos about how to do it, lol.
As a videographer that does mostly weddings, iPad video editing is a nightmare compared to my PC and DaVinci Resolve- especially with syncing wedding ceremony audio and trying to stabilize footage.
Luma Fusion is quite good for what it is, but “professionals” that edit their whole videos on an iPad in early 2020 aren’t doing very many intricate editing processes. Agree totally with your post.
@@Unkn0wnC0mmand It all comes down to the persons needs and how simple or intricate their workflow is. Although Christopher Lawley entire setup is using an iPad pro for audio and editing and he does youtube for a living.
ua-cam.com/video/LO9SBOVpRjs/v-deo.html
@@j.d.5709 my videos are a minimum of 1TB.
Please show me a video of an ipad editing a video of that size.
I'll save you the time- it can't, until it can edit on external storage.
No idea the point of your posts. Never said you couldn't edit on an iPad . I said you couldn't edit high level professional videos on an ipad. UA-cam vids in general are a long shot away from what those in video industry build.
Let's see you adequately stabilize footage on an iPad. Let's see you edit raw 6k to 8k on an ipad. Let's se you do real audio work with 24 audio tracks in a video.
Yea, you can't.
Therefore using an ipad for editing adds a million steps and makes it a nightmare. Link all the videos you want, the above can't be done on an ipad and I do those things on every single video without fail.
@OldPossum they do when it's the clients request- either way, I never said my final video was that big.
You do realize that the footag you edit isn't the final render, correct? So if I have 2 terabytes of raw 4k, the final video can be fit on a standard Blu-Ray. This fact doesn't matter if I can't fit all the footage to render onto the ipad at once because the storage isn't enough. Why the hell would I want to do 10 different pieces for a wedding render because my iPad cant hold the raw footage when I could do it at one go on a pc?
You either have no clue how quickly raw footage adds up over a day or more of filming, dont understand the basic editing process, or truly are a "Possum"- in which case you can save us both some time and play dead.
You more than answered the questions I had which led me here. I like how you packed so much fine information into a perfect timeframe. I had to turn my attention speed up about 56% to keep up, which was a helpful experience in itself. Cheers.
Great video and want to see the video about backing up of iPad ( including app data )to external storage
I really wanna know what kind of adaptor is this!!!!
Why the hell is the system so smooth!!!
I have a "pro" class thunderbolt AV work station with a couple terrabytes of hot swappable NVME storage, on my freaking night stand. I love the ipad pro. Side note, I use a startech TB3 thunderbolt dock, which IMHO is far superior to the solutions i see most youtube ipad folks suggesting. It will output 4K to dual monitors, charge your ipad, and accept a gaggle of connected peripherals over TB or USB 3x
Hi Noah. Would you do a video explaining how to transfer “bulk” photos from my ipad pro to an external hard drive please Jack Tomlinson
When you’re at the point to select which videos you want to copy, choose “select all.” Or you can select by dragging your finger over them
Good stuff! I have a couple questions. 1. What did you format your SSD drive so it works with the iPP? Did you use the Mac OS format or Exfat? 2. The workflow you demonstrated is that more for backing up your files before sending them to the iPP? Couldn’t you have gone from your SD card via the reader right into the Files app and copied your files there? Sorry just thought of another question, 3. Is there anyway to set in and out points before copying footage? Say you had a long clip but only needed a few seconds of that clip? On my iMac I use a program called EditReady for my Sony clips where I can do what I am asking. Thanks!
The *Sandisk* is like, "stop mocking me man, I'm right on the screen." lol
Hi. If you’re unable to edit direct from an external source, why not just import direct from the SD card instead of two sets of copies/movements? I’d have to say that right now the iPad is very impractical for editing because it needs the source files to be local, which is a shame as it clearly has the power to do basic editing and post. I think when Apple have sorted some of these files management issues and as soon as there’s a killer NLE app, many more people will be editing on iPads and iPads will start chewing more into laptop and even desktop sales. Cheers, Dave.
I really wish I had the ability to buy one . Am an engineering student and this has been my dream . One day will buy one . Hope so will be alive.
I'll never understand why Apple didn't add a copy-progress bar to the iOS
Thanks for convincing me to buy the 512GB iPad Pro. This is a lot of work to integrate into a workflow. I'll just use these devices for backup and transfers.
Thanks for the tut. Now I know iPad doesn’t work with external drives. It can read information from them, but work means opening and saving files directly to an external drive.
thank you Noah , I finally confidence to buy ipad pro 12.9 128 gb instead of 265 , many thanks and warm regards from your subscriber in Indonesia
You don’t necessarily need a hub. I have the 256gb and only work with photos so I don’t need to use external drives, but if you have an older 64gb model you could do it in stages - transfer half the files into the iPad storage, transfer to SSD, then delete, and do the other half? That way you just need to carry around the smaller Apple USB-C to USB dongle
This is literally my problem too! Thank you soooo much for this video!!!
I added the Anker 7 in 1 USB-C upgraded and it really made a difference. I can now connect a USB-C external, 2 other USB devices to include my Blue Yeti. I would say if you are looking for something that is a game changer for your ipad pro 2018, the Anker is it....by the way it was 29 bucks
Very useful. I’m awaiting the arrival of a 256GB iPad Air 4. That should be enough on-board storage to handle my relatively light needs in the short term. However, I do have two 1TB SSD drives working with my iMac, one (a Samsung X5) as a boot disk and main storage drive to speed up that plodding 2017 dinosaur, and the other (a Sandisk Extreme) as a backup drive. I’ll see how the 256GB works for me on the iPad but won’t hesitate to pick up another external SSD if necessary. Thanks for the walk-through on how to use it for video and photo editing. Thanks again for posting. I’ve liked and subscribed.
You saved my life, I thought my iPad or usb was broken 👌
Always great videos❗️👍I just got my new iPad Pro 11” and I went ahead and got the 256GH and I think I be just fine with that because I am a light user. I still have a lot of storage left on my old 126GH iPad Pro.
What adapter is that. Great video and thank you
You just saved a lot of my money😂😘
Clear video! With the pictures you can skip the ssd step if its going in to internal ipad storage after all.
Happy new years for everyone
Nice Genji pic
Very nice video! I bought the 128 GB iPad Pro 2020 and I am also going to use external storage to edit the photos and videos, anyone tested on editing externally with the up-to-date iPadOS 13.4?
I can’t wait to watch this later. I’ve recently switched back over to the Apple ecosystem. Got the iPhone 11 Pro and trying to decide between the iPad Pro 11 or 12.9.
From there I was wanting to get back into illustrating and introduce myself to video editing for another creative outlet.
I have a surface pro, which is great... but it’s not really a tablet for quick games and just consuming. Great for work flow though. When it comes to professional apps for creatives it doesn’t really have the hardware to support it from what I’ve seen.
The iPad just seems to stream line things a lot better. I say all this without watching the video yet.
Thanks for the video! 2 Questions- Can you set up file folders for the external SSD on iPad? Is SSD limited to photo and video transfers on iPad? I would like to be able to use with other files like .doc, .ppt and .pdf. I’ve heard cloud storage is problematic.
I have the same question
What is the name of your adapter???
Thank you for this very informative video. I am in the process of deciding whether to buy a mac mini, a mac book pro, or an 11” iPad pro. I really love working on the iPad, and this helped me go for an iPad Pro 11. 😃
Thanks bro..
I was planning to buy I pad 256gb varient and later SSD of 1tb
And I was assumed that I pad allow video editing in external storage
Now I changed my mind
Happy New Years Noah! Quick question: what’s the USB C dock you are using in this video?
Spencer Carruth I was wondering the same thing. So I did some research. I Adapt usb c hub for iPad Pro. See video.
ua-cam.com/video/rs1kYcV9AeM/v-deo.html
He made a video about it... baseus usb-c adapter
Thanks Noah!!! You just helped me choose the right iPad!
How about when you want to move files from your iPad to an SSD?
what is the adapter? can you provide a link? thanks!
Noah is very good and to the point
Where can I find this adapter???
Is no one going to talk about his hands though?? WOW those are the prettiest male hands I've seen in a longgg time.
Mom I’m scared pick me up
😂
great info.. I didn't understand much about the Samsung T5 and I've had it in the box forever.. im a newbie. thanks for giving me a boost.... I'm a new SUB
What adapter for the memory card do you use?
amzn.to/3l15R9C this is the adapter link on Amazon 🙂
If you copy and do a lot of file work, I would highly recommend File Explorer or File Browser (both on the App Store) cause not having a status bar while coping in Apple Files App was driving me nuts. Also you can sync Folders you dont have to do it all manually all the time. This tools are very mighty.
Good work l needed to know how ssd works in iPad.
Hey, thank you for this video ! I personally do not care about storing photos or videos on my ipad bcs i relie essentially on the cloud. So, i would like to know if 64gb is enough to store all the apps I want (basically how much apps can you have) ?
Fantastic video! Nice and short and answered all my questions :) thanks!
Hi Noah, what’s the specific adapter you use? And how do you purge the iPad storage?
An Update to this is needed as well as a list of compatible devices
Literally , he's an iPad guy on internet ..👍🏻
would recommend the 128gig 11 inch iPad (which I might need an eternal hdd) or spend a bit extra for the 256g to future proof? that would be proofing for me.
Happy New Year . Another great IPad Pro Video. Hope you have an update soon about the Samsung Galaxy Fold.
Your videos are really cool and inventing happy new year
thanks man! that was really clear and helpful! I'm on the fence with finally moving completely over to the ipad as my main machine! thanks for this! :)
What is the name of the adapter? Nice video 😀👍🏻
Which adapter did you use in this video?
Ay bro, love the vids and the workflow going on here. Lumafusion adding external drive support is a real game changer. Please update your like/sub intro for next year please, maybe just a different video or animations or something. Getting a lil dry. Other than that all love bro
Good idea and thank you :)
@Sarah Theory any update on this one?
I know this video is around 3 years old but it’s still relevant to me as I’ve just bought a T7 SSD. what I’d like to know is this; once you have copied over your images from the iPad, do those images get deleted (or moved over) or if not, do you remove them from the iPad?
When I connect my hard drive to mine nothing shows up in the files app
It would have been helpful if you demonstrated how to move photos from ipad to external drive.
I like this new tutorial
This is what I needed to hear ! thank you for the video ! !
Helpful video thanks.
Samsung or sandisk?
Which will be better ssd?
Thank You Noah! Loved the video. Clear & concise & to the point.
Thanks legend! life saver of a system for a big hike im about to embark on. Thank you!
I think the lightning cable on my 10.5 impairs the advantage of having an ssd
Love those little Samsung SSDs. 👍
Very impressive what the iPad Pro can do. So can ipad files be transferred interchangeably with Microsoft external hard drives? If I have an external hard drive that I used to save my PC files, can I use that same external hard drive to transfer my files from my ipad? Do you have a video on that?
I have the same question.
The doqo smartdock looks promising with a built-in 7 in 1 hub plus internal battery as an iPad Pro folio case with keyboard and track pad....time will tell.
Sounds like the best way to transfer photos and videos is to transfer from micro se to to iPad edit your vids then transfer finished projects to external sad then delet files from iPad
When you moved the clip and the photos you started by selecting ‘Move’; then after identifying the destination you selected ‘Copy’. Is it a Move operation (I.e. does it remove the originals from the SD card?), or is it a Copy?
HI, THANKS for showing us your workflow. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY what you say is that if I WISH to edit anything, video or photo in Lightroom or Lumafusion, I have to copy that file from the SD card or an external backup drive to my iPad Pro first, edit it, and then export it back to the external drive after saving it in my iPad Pro? Is that true that I CANNOT edit the file while it's on an external source?
I believe now we can.. with the new ipad os. If wrong please let me know !!
Thanks for the info I was winding how I can put all my picture in a sad card
Herman SSD sounds like a real quality ssd name
This video is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so very much. Awesome.
nice video dude! pretty much what I would use an ipad for if I had any, which i'm now considering as apple released a new model. if i buy it ill come back to this video
They need to make it possible to edit footage that is directly on ssd/sd!
U can with a USB c adaptor with a sd card slots
@@calhanjohnson7788 Are you sure? LumaFusion copies every imported file to internal storage!
It would be great. I think app developed in times where there were no good file system management as now, it was software limitations of OS. And now they should upgrade Luma Fusion to support folders on iPad and external. But so, if you use it with SSD dongle it is not so portable and even can cause to files damage in case it disconected.
Also great for writers who also need some light photo editing Like myself.
This is a really nice video, it helps a lot. Thank you man.
Nice video! How about moving pictures from camera roll right to the SSD?
