Thank you for this great overview. I use lumafusion for years and I love it. The only problem is, that the development speed is to slow - especially now. Still waiting for speed ramp for example

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome! It's awesome to know that you're a long-time Lumafusion user. - Hazel, PV Team

14:22 The pages are available but hidden for some reason. You can enable them from the shortcut menu.

[@FELLCHARONGAMES]

VN is great and my “go to” as an app but the desktop version is browser based and feels a lot less intuitive than on iPad. My only real gripe is that sometimes you have to watch that it doesn’t allow you to add a split clip effect or that adding in music after adding text completely throws out where you had originally placed the text. But once you work out an order of video production in VN it is very straightforward and easy 😅

[@MartinHarvey]

I use the OSX app on my iMac and I’d say I can’t really think of any usability minuses.

[@Hussainzidane]

I'm curious about your advice. Which would you recommend for a content producer like me, Final Cut Pro or Davinci Resolve? I want to pay for one of them and get the pro version. :))

[@FiliusDei777]

I love the chapter being all trough the video

[@PrimalVideo]

Thank you - Hazel, PV Team

[@Imsubhankhan]

Can you please tell me which iPad you are using?

[@jaredmeche6325]

They got so much right on ipad FCP, but then dropped the ball on basics like color adjustment / white balance process.

[@str8frmthacr8]

External hard drive editing is the main one for me.

[@HurairaTechZone]

Can you please tell me which screen recorder you are using

[@lostwillowtree]

looks like the ipad's built in screen recorder

[@matteovalenza9585]

11:46 make note, this will only work for “up to” 6th gen iPads as well. Just purchased a 9th gen iPad and it is not compatible. Reached out to apple and they said it is not available yet.

[@horrordudealma]

Which of these have video stabilization?

[@HavocFactionmusic]

Is lumafusion good for editing music videos on? I’m currently using capcut but having 5 layers from 5 different takes is making the app slow down.

[@Ignoreduser]

I own Lumafusion but it keeps crashing. I’m here to have an either temporary or complete replacement for it if I can’t fix it.

[@yvanjego5893]

Great job ! Thank U

[@PrimalVideo]

[@olliewilliamsAI]

No mention of Premiere Rush?

[@creativegreatsvisuals]

Can you edit 4k h.265 footage I need to edit Panasonic s5ii and canon c70

[@bagtalkthelabell]

Factz me too #s5ii

[@wastethesweat]

How do you rate Adobe Rush ?

[@PrimalVideo]

I used to like it when it first came out, but really hadn’t innovated beyond that like a lot of the other options now Justin.

[@IronWolfArts]

Are there any decent and affordable ones that DO NOT require to bleed out my money with subscriptions?? I don’t mind paying extra if edits and new stuff is added down the road (kinda like a DLC), but are there any that’s just a buy once and you have the program??

[@df3yt]

Clearly you didn't watch the video.

[@zoeebo]

Super helpful, thank you!!!

[@bluehawkrider3313]

Is it available for the iPad Air 5?

[@PRAYAGPLAYS]

Yes

[@aliceee517]

Hi! I have a question if anybody is able to answer. I used to have the desktop version of CapCut and I loved it but I switched to an iPad and it doesn’t allow me to use the desktop version, the problem is that I have an adapter that connects my SD to my iPad and CapCut does not let me edit the videos from the SD, I have to actually download them in my iPad and I don’t have that much space since it’s more than 50 gb what I need for every video, so is there a way to get a similar app or the same one on my iPad that will allow me to import videos from the SD card instead of directly from my iPad's gallery???

[@nycgweed]

I have same problem 😢 did you find a solution

[@Fun04539]

LumaFusion is the OG/ This video is OG❤

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks, cheers - Hazel, PV Team

[@Elektrasounds]

Does VN editor and Lumafusion have a video time limit?

[@GalPixAlbum]

no. vn is totally free

[@nourax4389]

What about Filmora?

[@Raykud1]

I just want a tool to edit my videos on ipad the easy parts that can be done on the go... and then continue editing the video on desktop (windows) the hard parts or more detailed, but seems like i cant find one :/

[@user-diegolaser248]

Bruh thank for explaining how to edit and helping with edit app now mi video are not trash any more

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome! Glad we could help with your editing. Keep up the great work! 😊 - Hazel, PV Team

[@suzannerichard2991]

Thank you for this very in depth well thought out video. I have all of them except VN…you are spot on that FCP is the most fun and intuitive for the iPad. Davinci Resolve is an absolute beast for everything. I have unlocked all the pages and do use a mouse and keyboard to edit… but it’s definitely a no brainer when I need to edit on the go. Thanks again for all of your hard work in this video. Much appreciated 👍

[@PrimalVideo]

You're very welcome! Enjoy using your apps, and if you ever decide to try VN, we hope you find it useful too! 👍 - Hazel, PV Team

[@mazzfotovideo]

Capcut works good on iPad 10ma?

[@randomStuffGD.]

I don’t Get why everyone is so hyped about capcut I can’t edit at all There’s only templates

[@mazzfotovideo]

@@randomStuffGD. for it's so easy edit KZbin videos

[@MaxiMumSavageYT]

[@g.t.a3739]

Premiere Rush?

[@1stShotTactical]

I’m watching this video to get out of using Rush… crashes all the time and can’t handle 4k vids!

[@Wilsonmfc11]

Kine Master is good too

[@OkumuraRyuk]

Wait so youre telling me Live Drawing is only on Final Cut??? No other apps lets you do that?

[@sumonkarmakar3630]

Is capcut available for ipad air 4

[@F4RAHHHHHHH]

Yes

[@sumonkarmakar3630]

Can you send me a link cause i dont see it in app store

[@PrimalVideo]

Sure, here's the link primalvideo.com/go/capcut-ios/?KgzJ06viKZE - Hazel, PV Team

[@richclean]

it’s #shorts for me all day long, can I get a fee editor that allows me to give animals, made up voices? for iPad?

[@puzzlegirl2606]

I am kinemaster user, it's good

[@PrimalVideo]

Cool, glad you're enjoying it - Hazel, PV Team

[@popiwipu]

Thank u for the great video! Is there any option that I can purchase just once tho? Like cap cut, an app with an a intuitive interface, auto captions but just a 1 time payment? 🥹

[@Rosie_0630]

CapCut,VN editor SAME DAMN THING what i mean is they are AMAZING and i saw things in vn that is in capcut

[@TheFonkyarts]

To whoever tried some of these; in your opinion which one of these where your favorites?

[@Uttmgaming]

I would say cap cut or smth

[@hanclqoud]

I am so frustrating by the fact that Final Cut Pro is no compatible with my iPad.

[@EJrblx16770]

cap cut is not in india😭😭

[@Emilay.grwm123]

Cupcut don’t work

[@Philippines1780]

lumafusion wins

[@HMaxTube11]

Imperative that you point out every product developed by Chinese companies! Spyware, data theft, malware are all demanded by Chinese authorities. As an Aussie you are well aware of extent of Chinese malfeasance. Make sure your viewers are apprised of every Chinese app you review. Other than that, your vids are great, JB.👏🌟👍

[@sbrinkmann]

Spyware in these apps? Could you prove it? I’m sure the US-government will react as the do with Huawei.

[@Hussainzidane]

Yeah it’s like Apple doesn’t use our mobile’s microphone and what we type

[@HMaxTube11]

Y’all know that many electronic components are made in China, right?
