DaVinci Resolve for iPad is now available on the App Store! apps.apple.com/us/app/davinci-resolve-for-ipad/id1581363826

My question is is M1 also optimized or this only optimized for M2?

[@mannyserrano9718]

Hey, I have an iPad Air 4 and it says it’s compatible everywhere but when I try to download it, it says it isn’t and won’t let me download. Is there a way around this by chance? I’m updated to the latest software and eveyhing like it says

[@Chaz_r]

I’m sold! Never knew I needed a speed editor until today

[@AlexPettitt]

I have to say, once you start using it… it’s hard to imagine how you edited before without it!

[@valuemastery]

Have seen the Speed Editor in this video for the first time, was thinking about switching from FCPX to Resolve. Now that I've seen that the Speed Editor includes a license for Resolve Studio, it's a no-brainer. Ordered one immediately after watching this video.

This is an example for a perfect KZbin Video. Informative, friendly and high quality. Thank you so much. Greetings and all the best from Germany 😊

[@LG4Eva]

Firstly I want to thank you for making this video very well explained without the usual blah blah which we come across almost all the time on KZbin. Wish you all the success! 😊

[@terryjones426]

This is an incredibly detailed run through on the DaVinci for Ipad features and a great glimpse on your workflow. Thank you Alex!

[@juneru2]

This is gonna be one of the first apps to truly grasp the iPads capabilities. This looks so convenient and intuitive and I can't wait to be more productive because of it! My only wish is that they add the edit tab someday, but cut should be sufficient enough for what I do.

[@coralreef909]

Which brings the question of why is Apple being so stubborn in its refusal to bring Final Cut Pro to the iPad? What is the reason? It’s not that they can’t, it’s that they don’t want to. What is hindering them from taking a leap of faith and bringing this very powerful professional software to a very professional machine of their making? I also find it quite amusing that so called tech experts not realizing that these M chip and A chip iPads are in fact computers. Tablets are in fact defined as being computers. We call them tablets for short and drop the word computer which has led to so much confusion to such an extent that techies try to argue that iPads aren’t computers. Hilarious really.

[@azmihakam]

@@coralreef909 Maybe is not about performance that ipad is not capable but to bring the whole touch experience to their pro apps. Apple is weird at this decision even small apps like calculator is not available for ipad for the same excuse and the weather app just drop recently

[@mosijahi3096]

@@coralreef909 well said,these are the same questions I ask,Apple doesn’t seem to answer these questions.

[@sloppynyuszi]

@@coralreef909 because an entry level M chip isn’t the best chip for editing. If you want to do anything more than an assembly edit or a talking head KZbin video you get an M1 Pro or more. Also the iPad is just pretty crap for editing full stop. It’s a touch first device and a 12.9 inch screen is small for editing. And once you plug it in to external monitors… is an iPad you really want? The power can be used if you using art apps for drawing, animating or 3D sculpting. If that’s not what you do, why do you want an iPad Pro? And for that the M1 and all it’s 16gb of ram comes in handy (though I still run out of layers sometimes) The device just isn’t for you mate. What you need is a good laptop, and entry level iPad 9 is all you need, as the pros don’t make sense for your case. And that’s totally OK.

Thank you Alex this impressive Davinci Resolve run-through on the iPad took me by complete surprise. It's staggering how fast Blackmagic is moving with enhanced mobile video capabilities

[@AlexPettitt]

Couldn’t agree more, they continue to impress at the moment both with software and hardware

[@carpetbomberz]

@@AlexPettitt Even just as a tutorial on "basic" functions of the cut tab, this was top-notch. But now it's ALSO on the iPad. 👍

[@MKFingerstyleAcademy]

I love this tutorial man! very good job, no fluff no waste of time, lovely pedagogy. Keep it up

[@AlexPettitt]

Glad you liked it!

[@LFGear]

Your video quality is immaculate. It's crisp and smooth... I love it!

[@MrNickMid]

Thanks for this was wondering if the speed editor would work with ipad Da Vinci. Really useful tutorial.

[@blancolirio]

Thanks Alex! I can now be much more productive when on the road! Get the apple keyboard!

[@larryFWD]

Last time I ever owned or used iPad was back in 2015 as my phone easily became my iPad, iPhone, and PC but with Davinci resolve now usable on an iPad, it's a no brainer for me to get an iPad once again. Great video Alex - just what I needed. Thanks!

[@kayw6004]

Thank you! I’ve viewed several videos on KZbin, but I have learned more from yours than with the others.

[@juanvaldz]

Alex, I’ve been WAITING for this. I love the fact that’s allows me to use my “Apple workflow” in DaVinci, it recognizes that we have built in cloud storage (photos) as well as USB-C ! Black magic Take my money!

[@joman66]

I'm purchasing an M2 IPad just for using DaVinci Resolve for editing video. Looking forward to it.

[@derekmcc]

Great to see back on screens, Alex. Enjoyed this and its features so much. Has a real fresh feel about it. Can’t wait for the general release and your follow-up opinions.

[@AlexPettitt]

Thanks for the lovely message Derek, much appreciated and glad you enjoyed the video!

[@BryanLankston]

I’ve been thinking about getting an Atem Mini ISO for awhile. This is awesome that you can edit right on iPad. I’d love to be able to get into multicam video work and live production.

[@G_handle]

Fantastic work Sir! Many questions: 1) Which iPads will it run on? 2) Can you use a USB Hub? 3) Besides the Speed Editor, can you connect a Color Panel (or MCU Control Surface)? 4) Streamdeck? 5) Trackball / Advanced Mouse & Keyboard?

[@AlexPettitt]

Thanks so much for the kind words :) 1) Will run best on M2 iPad Pro, but supported by M1 iPads and older iPads running iPadOS 16 2) I haven’t tried but will do. I see no reason why not. 3) Bluetooth keyboard and mouse work great in DaVinci, I haven’t tried any other third-party peripherals. 4) Doubtful this would work just yet as iPad wouldn’t know what to do with it. But maybe in the future.

[@JohnAldred]

1. I'm running it on the iPad Air 4. Works great (mostly - experiencing an export bug that I hope BM will fix soon). 2. I just grabbed one of my hubs. USB-PD power in, 2TB OWC Envoy FX Pro SSD, and a ProGrade card reader with a 256GB UHS-II card inside it, all reading and importing fine on the iPad and Resolve while charging it at full speed.

[@slimboogie777]

@@JohnAldred is it out yet? I don’t see it in the App Store.

[@8miceinabox]

One thing to note is that you can get the media, edit, farlight and other tabs by going into the keybind settings and making a hotkey for 'show page'

[@drinkinslim]

Yeah, I've done that, but I can see why they hid them - everything is so clunky and a lot of things don't work. But at least they're there.

[@8miceinabox]

@@drinkinslim yeah, I can’t even get the audio mixer to show which is pretty annoying.

That runs so nicely! I'd like to see how it runs on older ipads etc but from what I have seen here it's functionality is great. There's one thing I hate and that is always being tied to my PC but the affordability of this solution is all dependent on performance across iPad models. Maybe a comparison video ?

[@eliasweemaes]

When importing files from the SSD, does it actually edit from the SSD or is the footage imported on the internal space of the Ipad itself. Makes a huge difference in choosing the Ipad options in terms of internal memory

[@AlexPettitt]

Good question! It edits directly off the SSD :) So if you plan to be plugging in SSD's, you definitely don't need to max out your iPads internal storage. Hope this helps

This is best Resolve for iPad overview that I've watched. It touched all of the features that I was interested in. I've begun editing on my iPad Air (4), but considering getting an M2 Pro. My only reservation is not being able to fade audio tracks in/out. I wonder if that is a limitation of my hardware or not having Revolve Studio? Can someone confirm that it works on an M chip iPad or in Studio? -cheers

That was beautiful Alex ! I may be a year late, but as I’ll be ordering my iPad Pro tomorrow, and already have my Speed Editor and Atem Mini Extreme Pro, this was sooooo timely ! Thank you so much. ;-)

So glad to hear it Glen, you might also find this video useful too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZKoaYWLasmofpY

[@AdalbertoAlmeida_81]

I think you missed an opportunity to shine by talking about Color Management in the Project Settings which would have just adjusted the footage to its current code. Also audio, because so far, I haven’t seen much talk about how to organize/work with the audio in this version of DR. Overall, nice overview.

[@deniszolin1]

Thank you Alex for the informative video, the iPad version like the desktop one is excellent and now I understand the iPad version to the point of being able to be productive. Thanks again

[@kcajay]

[@dariuszkotarba4454]

using such a specialized keyboard with the ipad is like putting an external flash on a Sony RX100M2 camera. Thus, we don't have any external keyboard and the only tool next to the iPad is a finger or a pencil. How do you do the same thing you showed using only your finger? How to synchronize the sound from the camera and from an external recorder? Only two or three steps : select both source from recorder and from camera and issue "sync by waveform" command. This is possible on the Edit page, but this page is hidden by default. So how do you do that using the tools available on the Cut page (... and finger)?

[@gurulovearthi]

Bro can I use iPad Pro 11 inch

[@lerychfotovideo]

Very good vid, thanks! When you import footage from SSD, are they copied into iPad or stay in SSD to work off SSD without cluttering iPad storage?

Why don't you activate the edit page?

[@davidstoeckl86]

I bought the new iPad Pro M4 for short edits. But I have a big problem with an external SSD. After I import some media, the files show up correctly in Davinci Resolve for a short time. But after a few seconds all media is offline and I can't access the media in the files app. the only solution is to restart the ipad. But even then I can't use the external SSD for editing. I have no idea what the problem is. With internal footage it works without problems...

[@RicardoGomes-xw1sl]

Hey Alex! Great Great Content! Could you tell me what version of iPad were you using, the 16GB RAM or maybe the 8GB even? I'm super excited about the iPad version, been using the desktop since the 16, and love it.

Great overview on Resolve for iPad, Thanks! I'm working mostly on Adobe CC (Premier Pro, After effect, illustrator and Photoshop), I started considering getting an iPad Pro as a mobile editing station for starting projects on the go, maybe for the full offline editing, Then finishing my projects (Online, VFX, Motion etc.) on my PC or Mac but since Adobe take their time with a premiere premiere for iPad (and Premiere Rush is not enough), I started looking for another option for another NLEs. (at list for iPad) - right now my two finalists are DaVinci Resolve & LumaFusion I would love to hear your thoughts about transferring project from DaVinci Resolve to another software, such as After effects for online or even for continue editing on Premiere pro Any thoughts on that, Does projects transfer well, with your selection & cuts you made to another NLE / Software?

Hi! Thanks for the video. Do you feel that an Ipad 11'' is big enough or you wish you had the 12.9'' ? Seems that it works great in the Cut page but in the color page the image is very small on the 11''.
