[@magic2253711]

A pretty big oversight in your discussion is the ipad final cut not being able to read media from an SSD like the other editing apps already can. They may update in the future, but nobody is off loading prores or Red footage to the ipad after a full day of production. In your scenario you'll be off the train before everything is copied over. At that point just plug SSD in to work station at home. Luma Fusion and DaVinci read SSD on ipad.

Literally they would just be giving Da Vinci Resolve millions of dollars. Remember the only reason they get away with it on iPads is the locked down App Store. On Mac they would get demolished because anyone can download whatever they want online.

@@inshal6420 It’s not just Final Cut but Logic as well. And I disagree with them making no money because of Final Cut or Logic users, because as you say that is the only thing keeping them on Mac Hardware which they spend thousands of dollars on in a regular purchase cycle. So they are actually going to backfire in their strategy if they do this. And the irony is that the reason many people were recommending Apple hardware was these one time purchase pro level apps. It’s very interesting, but essentially they will not have any legitimate reason to stay in the ecosystem either. The exception would be the new VR coming out. So that might represent the pivot in the market they desire.

You can change how often Premiere Pro auto saves. I think default it is set at 15 mins and I always set it to 5 mins.

[@chrissolace]

I think having both payment options would be ideal. I know some apps have that, where you can pay per month or pay the big cost upfront and just have it for perpetuity. I think this would perfectly work for it too. Having both options allows people to try it or cancel, or for committed people, just pay one cost. Probably just a way to squeeze as much money out of customers as possible. But even then, it would take, what, 4-5 years for the cost to outweigh? That’s a long time tbh.

[@ghost-user559]

No you really are not understanding why subscription is always bad. You understand 5$ is the introduction right? Same with Netflix originally. Now it’s 18$ a month. Adobe used to be one time payment. Now it’s 60$ a month for life. It’s not about what the fee is now. That’s just so people don’t complain. No laws prevent them from just charging 100$ a month to use your iPhone or iPad apps if this continues.

[@xavierdomange9591]

@@ghost-user559you can’t compare Netflix to these Apple apps. Heck they make their own movies and tv shows. That costs loads of money. They’re just breaking even.

[@kevinloffler2901]

Here is the case for software subscription: software is not like a physical product that you buy once and then own. With software people expect continuous updates and new features. If you would write an app today and never touch it again it would become unusable in a few years. So developers need to continually invest time into their software therefore I believe its fair to pay them regularly. The same way you pay for music streaming or your internet provider.

[@continentalglue]

as a user - no, it doesn't seem offer a seamless "start one project on the mac/ipad, then port/export the project over to your ipad/mac to continue working" or vice versa, it's very much a nerfed experience, especially with the lack of external SSD support.

[@vaughnsigal4560]

3:33 - Not really 1:1 but iMovie on the mac at one point use to be more advanced and was later made simpler UI wise so sure? under the hood mac iMovie is way more powerful. Also wanted to mention, that with sideloading, maybe it will be easier to find final cut extensions for the iPad

[@MathematicPony]

The whole thing with plugins is the issue with Logic on iPad, too. Huge, essential parts of my music workflow involve 3rd party plugins, and it's like that for pretty much every producer.

iMovie does NOT have feature parity. for example, the mac version has a chroma key feature, and the mobile version does not.

[@LukeBares]

Actually the „one month usage” is a thing for me as a student. I study medicine, so I don’t use finalcut pro regularly. But once in a while we have to produce some video. For those weeks/months it would be quite amazing.

[@Xarviz]

Final Cut on the ipad makes it the single device that you need to produce and polish up the content. You have a decent cam, now the app and a decent sized screen.

[@sloppynyuszi]

Light projects Maybe. The M2 chip is kinda powerful, but for real work it gets hot and thermal throttles. I have a big file I’m working on in Affinity designer and although it performs well on my M1 iPad Pro , it’s hot! There is no lag, but to combat that, every time I rotate or zoom the layers keep blurring. For film editing this must be even worse. Once you have a real project on it. Not an assembly edit with some cute transitions. I wouldn’t recommend an iPad as an only computer. Hell I wouldn’t recommend a Mac Mini or any entry level M chip for actual professional work. You can punch out a small job, but anything substantial I wouldn’t bother with.

I feel like this conversation is putting a lot of expectations on a device that only has the base M2 silicon and no active cooling

[@Carbon_Wolf18]

I feel like one of the main reasons why Apple has the subscription-based version of Final Cut Pro on iPad is to get more people familiar with it and buy it on Mac outright with it being the education edition or just the $299 standalone version (I would recommend the education edition just because you're getting the full version of 5 pro apps from apple) the 5 apps are Final Cut Pro, Motion, Logic Pro, Compressor and Mainstage and your saving so much money doing it this way ) the link for the education edition. I also wish at some point they would add the other pro apps that they have Motion, Compressor and Mainstage to the iPad, but I guess that it won't happen just because maybe the iPad can't handle it properly like the MacBooks can. But all of this is just my thoughts and opinions.

[@gotja]

I will stick with Lumafusion and maybe try Davinci - not being able to use external SSD killed it for me

[@PXKMProductionsGaming]

About crashes and lost documents - why don't you use document auto-versioning? that should be handled at filesystem level, so you can always scroll back in time. right? no fear of being unable to lose hours of work due to file corruption. But yeah, maybe I'm missing a thing there...

[@SvenReinck]

iMovie on the iPad is limited. I think it can actually only handle one video stream instead of two.

[@chefcurt1s]

Export a project to Final Cut Pro for Mac to access features like advanced color grading, object tracking, and more.6 I am going to assume that plugins are only for MacOS unless they get a lot of backlash, this will probably not change until they do get enough info though, apple has been listening to their community more and more so maybe it will change!

Yes iMovie does have Feature Parity. And no plugins. GarageBand for iPhone and iPad doesn’t play the stuff I do on my Mac. I doubt it’s going to be a Full Version. They should upgrade iMovie and call it Final Cut Lite because that program isn’t aging well against third party options. People buy this stuff to work up to Final Cut and Logic as well as specifically for it and Apple has forgotten they have a large amateur user base.

[@mrfroopy]

Apple could have improved the MAC FCP instead. They still have not addressed the letter from 100 pro editors from last year. the new FCP release today did not do that.

Can you use external drives or is this only for footage imported or shot with the iPad? Space is an issue as usual. The drawing tool is not truly a drawing tool. As an animator/designer I need more control and more usage options otherwise I'll stick to doing that kind of thing on other apps.

[@sloppynyuszi]

People waaay to hung up on this pro label. Can’t get Finalcut pro on your iPhone pro either 😂 It’s a pro secondary device. Or a surprisingly good portable art device, and we have had pro art apps on it for years. Clip Studio, Affinity suite, and iOS first apps like Callipeg, Toonsquid, Procreate are also pretty pro level. As pro you can get on a 13” screen. It’s not replacing anyone’s 24” Cintiq screen. KZbinrs need to learn, film editing isn’t the only pro activity one does on their device😂

[@JustinGladden]

I hope someone's said that Premiere auto-save frequency can be adjusted in preferences. Can autosave every minute and multiple versions, which would put it above FCPX in that you can go back to previous versions if you add in a buggy plug-in. Also, the auto-saves folder is right next to the project folder, which Premiere asks for a location immediately when you make a new project. Not a fanboy, but can't have folks going around with inaccurate information.

[@continentalglue]

My nail in the coffin on this for me (relative to something like DaVinci Resolve) is the External SSD editing, 1. I hate any artificial limitations that may be attempting to influence me to have to cough up more cash for a larger internal SSD and 2. if I can't easily switch between the Mac and the iPad for projects, it kind-of defeats their intent to position the iPad as a "supplemental" editing machine when you're away from your Mac. I mean Apple clearly doesn't want the iPad to be your main editing rig, but if you're going to force me to use a more limited version of a program that offers little benefit over its full-version MacOS counterpart, don't build in limitations that prevent me from hopping between machines.

Believe me folks, it was not a bargain when compared to the subscription. With the full subscription for everything, it’s less than $60 a month. That’s a far better price than photoshop itself was. This is $5 a month, but you only have to pay when you need it. I see some people mindlessly hating subscriptions. But in a number of ways they’re better.
