I want to be a video editor (again) all of a sudden… back in the day I used to edit videos in iMovie on the budget iPads… Now I can edit “professionally” on the iPad Pro… l even want to get rid of my 2020 12.9 iPad Pro now… This is cool!
You do such a brilliant job of breaking down Apple products, giving us a lot of valuable information and insight in minimal time. I never come away from your videos feeling any of portion of them was time wasted!😊
Hot Take: Apple did the right thing making this a subscription model. I’m hoping for a Lifetime option in the future. I want to pay in full. Now more people CAN afford to use the app extensively… 🤷♂️
I really wanted to get an M1 macbook for editing buh It seems Final cut on ipad is so intuitive & much easier to work with than on a macbook,i feel like grabbing myself an ipad for real 😅
@@TheChameleon2008 not really. It would take 6 years of usage to equate to the $300 it costs on desktop. Most won't use it that long, so subscription is more affordable for 95%
@@BrandonButch but the problem is that with a subscription you pay even when you dont use it so unless you are using it daily then i can understand but for people who use it like 2 times a months it doesn't seem worth it since i can just use my PC for those 2 occasions.
@@TheChameleon2008 I would consider the Mac version more of an investment. The subscription based for iPad is great for those who only use it here or there. Like if they have an editing project coming up
Been using it for the past 24 hours and my only real issues are a lack of stabilization and LUTS/better color correction for my SLog3. Much easier to use than DaVince which i use all the time. Great app at a decent price
If they bring Xcode to the iPad, and maybe iPad Catalyst that developers actually take advantage of, I may be tempted to daily drive an iPad instead of a MacBook. The things I dont like about the MacBook is that its animations aren't as fluid as iOS's is, Menu Bar complexity, and less customization as iOS. If they bring the features I just mentioned (and a calculator) to the iPad, I may want to just buy a brand new M2 iPad Pro and just use it as my main device! Its limitations dont seem to affect me except for third party plugins as well.
Does anyone know how to change the duration of multiple clips at once for Final Cut Pro on iPad? On mac it’s easy you would just click control D however I can’t find any short cuts to make all clips one length without manually having to change the length of each one on iPad, its a bit frustrating to be honest.
Hey bro! Anyone know how to detach/separate audio from video on iPad? So i can keep the audio and delete the video or audio I don’t need without it deleting both. Thanks!
Is there a way to make the timeline not delete things that aren’t directly clicked on? When I delete the layer under it also deletes the video above it for some reason. Why can’t it just let you move things around freely by default? Lol. I have to learn all over again
@@BrandonButch After testing Final Cut for iPad yesterday I can say I came away extremely disappointed. Missing way too much, that Luma has had for years. Final Cut for iPad has no direct audio in/in timeline audio recording built in which is crazy. Instead they put effort into gimmick features like the camera app as if people are taking their iPads and filming with them. The totally useless pencil feature. Just silly. I’m sure a video will come out showing Luma vs Final Cut feature for feature. I mean they already have those videos out there anyway comparing it to desktop Final Cut. Doesn’t compare in any way, truly doesn’t.
I'd love to give it a try, but for some reason Apple have decided that the 12.9" version of the 3rd gen iPad Pro is not supported?

They could disable the features.. why can I fully edit on final cut even in older intel-based macs? And LumaFusion is perfectly functional in older iPads
I bought Final Cut Pro for Mac and barely used it, I’m not a video editor but I have to edit my content. I preferred Lima fusion because it was on the iPad but I didn’t like the UX. I stopped creating all together because shooting and editing is a lot for me but then I found out about descript which makes it a lot easier to edit videos but it’s not available for iPad. Then I heard FCP was coming to iPad and was excited as I prefer to edit videos on my iPad but it’s a subscription.

Sir... Thank you for this useful tutorial. I've searched up ''finalcut pro for ipad'' literally every video on the top results were complete dog poop...

I’m using an SSD drive to edit on my iPad Air with Final Cut Pro but my clips are already lagging when I use the live pen and headings. What am I doing wrong?? Is there a proxy setting I should have turned on?
Hi, how can I add downloaded music (from My Music/ itunes)? I was able to access My Music folder (final cut pro app) but not all the songs that I have in My Music App. Example, I have 47 downloaded songs in My Music app but only 38 songs are available if I try to access it from the Final Cut Pro insert File. Thank you
Is this app performance like on mac or in ipad is so weak and have lag on long videos? Is it worth to buy 16 gb ram new ipad pro for editing heavy long videos or 8 is enough or totally mac is better by far on editing 4k60 long 2 hour videos or new ipad pro can do it too with 8 gb ram without any lag?
Love the video but it would have def been helpful if you had a cursor over the video so we can see what you’re clicking, this tutorial was hard to follow..
You don't know what you're talking about. In the 13 years that I've owned Final Cut Pro X, I haven't been charged a single upgrade fee. I don't think that the price has changed either.
If you are right handed, you should have the camera observe from the left, that way we can see what you tap and closer without your hand obstructing the view. I think there is also a presentation recording mode or so for screen recording where you can see taps and hovers, but I'm not sure.
I been trying to edit a 8k 30fps on my iPad Pro M2 with FPCX and it doesn’t even playback, but if I open the same Video on the same iPad with Davinci Resolve I have no issues at all, the playback it’s really smooth, If by the end of my trial they don’t fix that I’m gonna cancel it.

The most disappointing thing is you can’t do speed ramping, stabilisation. LumaFusion has a better interface and user friendly, 😮
Can you keep a subject in frame when it’s moving? In Lumafusion you can add keys to keep let’s say a car moving out of frame to keep it in frame.
