Damn, what a great review. I gotta say I really didn't think Apple could get this kind of complexity and exactness, to the point you could actually do such type of detailed work as video editing from the get-go. Truly amazing. The fact you could actually get that point of productivity within just a few hours of using it is insane. Can't wait till people start to use this thing in truly creative and innovative ways.

[@initialfocus]

Great video. Been using mine a lot but have yet to try editing. I am actually used to editing on PC so i was sad...until i figured out how to cast my PC into the AVP with essentially no latency. Man I cant wait to see how this software develops

There is so much potential for this. V2.0 Ultra version could have professional CC corrected eye screens, you could pull the color wheels off and set them on the desk, pro monitor off on the back wall the size of a theater screen, all your tools and your scrubbing screen in front of you, and when someone walks into the room to give you “notes”, you can stick a Mimoji face in them so soften the critique. 😂

[@khoatro]

Just curious if you've tried stabilizing the captured footage. Wish the smoothness of what we can see inside was natively stabilized while it's saving the clip. I kept having to remind myself to move my head very slowly while capturing.

[@mitchellfilms]

Michael i’m really impressed, compliments! Thank you but i have one question on my mind at the moment.. is de Vision Pro color calibrated or is it possible to calibrate it? Cheers Mitchell

[@initialfocus]

According to Apple each headset is calibrated from the factory for proper accuracy!

[@FlowSan]

Everything you show in the video is great but I would like to know if to edit video and work it is necessary to have the Mac on, even if it is necessary to have a Mac. Can we not have any mac and use the purchased mac apps on the vision pro?

[@Clarkezoneusa]

FWIW the trackpad works great for the resolve on VP scenario

[@Alex_an_der_theke]

stumbled upon your channel. My personal new favorite overall view on the product itself. So many mainstream reviewer and tech people getting this thing wrong - its mindblowing....

[@initialfocus]

That means a lot thank you!!

[@ZvilgantisKailis]

Are those goggle monitor are color calibrated for the video editing and color correction? How about shoulder pain when you hold your arms out in front of you all day editing, typing or playing games? What if someone remotely hacks you and shows you wrong image and you will fall under the car or jump off the ledge?

[@initialfocus]

Thank you for that!

[@rezolutionary]

Just got done doing the Vision Pro demo at the Apple Store in Indianapolis. very impressive, especially the immersive environments video. Have you compared shooting spatial video on the iPhone vs. the Vision Pro? It seemed to me the spatial video shot on iPhone wasn't nearly as good as the clips shot on AVP... I'm guessing due to the lenses on the phone being too close to each other. Has anyone seen any info on how they shot any of the video from immersive environments video in the demo? I'd like to see more on how that was created.

[@ChrisHaas]

Thank you for this video. One item that was not mentioned was its video export ability. I currently own this product, and I have recently spoke to Apple support regarding whether or not this device has a media engine. They could not answer this question. I am curious, have you gone down this path and what can you tell us about video export speed using the Apple Vision Pro. Thank you again for the video. I look forward to your reply.

[@Andisend]

I wish/hope that every panel within DR could be moved/sized indecently of each other too … but as you said; v1 and, likely BM won’t make changes unless they apply to other systems too .. Looking forward too the future..

bro this is wild, I can't believe this is actually real. The other videos do not show clearly this level of smoothness and performance, this is just insane

[@pollloxxx]

Man!, what about clean feed on Resolve?, works?

[@joelmulder]

Can you connect to a network drive like you can in Finder on Mac and iPad? That would be a great solution to the slow download speeds of getting stuff from iCloud Drive and storing it on the very limited onboard storage.

[@initialfocus]

I know in the files app you can technically connect to server. I don’t have a NAS so I haven’t tested it but I believe in theory you should be able to.

[@joelmulder]

@@initialfocus You can set up your Mac as a network drive too. If you have it connected to your hard drives and your Mac set up on the network, you might be able to access all your media that way.

[@killamane.1]

Check out update resolve for iPad

[@hbp_]

Can you use the speed editor on the native app? I suppose another way to sync videos is using Blackmagic Cloud? That should be even more streamlined if you use one of those cameras that can upload directly to the cloud (like BG2).

[@initialfocus]

Yes and yes haha my speed editor is paired to my Mac so I use it on that. But I could re pair to the “iPad” app on the Vision Pro. And yes using Blackmagic cloud storage to sync proxies is game changing workflows

[@andreasoberg2021]

Very interesting. I also edit a lot and also do music. I could also imagine chilling in the sofa with this and working

[@daniebello]

the end of the cable that plugs into the external battery has 24 pins on it coincidentally, usb-c and thunderbolt also use 24 pins what’re the chances they’re using all of those 24 pins just for power? i’m thinking they soft locked out data transfer for the user, for the moment at least

[@FritsJanSmit]

Great. Game changer. The virtual studio, office....It's not about speed in comparison with what we are used to, it;s about new workflow efficiency... so... in the end it's about speed...

[@johnc3451]

I can’t see any scenario where waving your arms around in front of you is more efficient than using a mouse though? No matter how cool it seems. I would hate to have something like that strapped to my head for 8 hours just so I can have multiple windows in view that fill up my whole visual field. None of what’s been shown so far is really a trade off for that nor is it drastically improving on what we have currently in a workflow sense. Humans can only focus on a single workspace at a time and we do our best work by staying put and focusing on the task at hand not walking around the streets and taking our setup with us. It all just seems gimmicky and marketable.

[@muralibalaraman]

Sounds like the same kind of problems that the first gen Iphone was going through with Copy and Paste, and Cut and Paste. It will be useful if .... and the list starts happening. 2-3 Generations later, we will start talking. But the issue is it costs US $4500 , which isn't exactly an annual investment into a product like this.

Thanks! Quite fitting haha

[@aps-pictures9335]

15:55 okay, so not 5K Pro RGB, but unless colour grading or focussing on extreme cgi editing, who edits like that? You use proxies and get the timeline down. Very excited for this, even if it doesn’t replace, it is an incredible extra for a V1!

[@magic2253711]

So all your files are being imported from iCloud in the native version? How do you export in Davinci? Where's it saving to?

[@initialfocus]

If you’re using native app you’d export either to the files app or the share menu which should be able to send it over airdrop, messages, Dropbox etc. I’ll do some export testing.

[@TomKammererII]

I thought I heard of color accuracy issues with this device. Or was that only specific to the pass through camera?

[@initialfocus]

Pass through quality is probably where the fair criticism is. It’s better than any other headset out there but yeah still looks like you’re looking out of basic HD cameras. BUT the actual monitors, windows, screens feel very sharp and color accurate

[@AdventuresonZero]

The thing that just pushes me away from editing on a meta quest pro is the clunkiness of getting up and running. Quality is ok, like looking at a 1080p monitor, however none of it 'just works' seamlessly. The AVP seemingly works so much better out the gate than the MQP did at the beginning - my hopes for better updates on the AVP are positive. d

[@JohnNy-ni9np]

The meta quest pro only have 1080p for the whole field (1920x1080 for each eye), so how do you get a 1080p look on a floating virtual screen that occupies 1/3 of your view ?

[@phoenixz7011]

one thing i haven't seen people mention is that vision pro seemingly cannot disable spatial audio, and it's the same if you pair it to latest model airpods. that would be a problem for video/audio editing that involves stereo mixing for that you cannot trust your device for the amount of phase in each stereo channels. as a video editor / audio mixer that is kind of a deal breaker until they put a toggle somewhere in the settings maybe.

[@initialfocus]

That is a very interesting point! Going to look into that!

[@MillennialJesus]

damn, this is actually impressive.

[@baekmedier]

ONLY BIG PROBLEM.... its not color accurate enogh for pro editing... maybe for youtube, not so much for professionel corporate videoes or comercials. Apple next version has to be able to switch to Calman Verified color mode with DCI-P3, Rec. 2020, Adobe RGB and sRGB. If it was there with up to 3 screens... everyone editing video was onboard right away.. But right now its made for consuming content instead. But great video. Thank you for showing that perspective. - Its almost there.. a little scary :) but need some fundamental things for it to work for me personally. - Connect directly to macbook pro or Mac studio as a screen both wireless and with a cable - Bigger batteries - Being able to show three seperate screens like a normal video editing setup - DCI-P colors at the least. (would be nice to have them all like on normal colorgrading screens) - Keyboard and mouse input - Work with the whole Adobe suite
