THIS makes Final Cut Pro for iPad usable...

[@Marngel]

If Apple is announcing this now roughly a month before WWDC, then whatever they will be announcing in WWDC must be huge, considering that FCP and Logic Pro is one of the most requested features for the iPad for years

[@lukemiani]

🤔

[@TVCHLORD]

the event will be all about the headset

[@EddyGraphic]

My thoughts exactly.

[@DakotaRileyMedia]

They are probably clearing runtime for the headset. There would be no reason other than that. They are probably gonna speedrun the iOS/iPadOS changes and they see this as a major part of reducing runtime so they can focus on the headset and possibly the other new rumored hardware. Sadly my 2020 iPad Pro isn't making the Cut for this release even though Logic-ally it should work just fine (Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro puns 100% intended).

[@Callum-R]

They’ve pushed back the head set I think? They’ll have a pop up keynote in October I reckon

[@ArthropodSpidey]

CCRP is actually Apple's motto with iOS right now. Cook, Cook, Release, Problems

I’m concerned about the future of Apple software with these iPad ports being paid subscriptions. One of the main draws of Logic Pro X for me was the one time fee and the perpetual license.

[@SinghalRishi27]

Apple internals be like -: don't worry we have the lame tricks to make more $ for mac as well

[@TheLikeys]

The same with Final Cut - I hope the Mac app will stay fully supported without a subscription model 😬

[@kirishima638]

People just don't want to pay up front for software anymore. This is backed up by telemetry and user surveys. They will happily pay much MORE for the same product, via a small monthly subscription, than fork out for a larger one-time purchase. So SAAS is here to stay. My company used to sell their product for a single one off fee, old school. We had big sales campaigns around Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas etc. Lots of promotions. Tie ins with competitions, application bundles, the latest trending media etc. The product was highly regarded and reviewed but the sales were barely enough to break even. When we switched to a subscription model, long time users complained and threatened to move to free software, but revenues jumped UP by an order of magnitude amongst newer users. Now we do next to no marketing and are doing better than ever. We should have moved to a SAAS model years ago. I personally hate subscriptions but the vast majority of people, objectively, prefer them.

[@mikeward1701]

@@kirishima638 It’s becoming death by a thousand cuts with everything going subscription based. What the CEOs, execs, and app developers fail to realise is that subscriptions only generate steady revenue when customers have steady disposable income, and when times get tough subscriptions are one of the first things to get the axe. When people start trimming expenses, some of these more niche subscriptions aren’t gonna make the cut.

[@Mooooooof]

Interested to see what comes with iPadOS in wwdc after this announcement

[@thenetworkmystery]

I'm concerned that the Mac version of Logic will move to a subscription model, which I would REALLY hate. I paid for it as a one-time thing back in 2019, and I would rather not pay for it again.

[@ross549]

That was suggested to me by a friend…. And I don’t like the idea. I have FCPX on my Mac, which I paid for a few years back, and it has been a workhorse. I hope this doesn’t mean the Mac version is going to be dropped.

[@budgetkeyboardist]

Can't speak for Final Cut Pro, but if they do that for Logic, people will leave Logic in droves. That just happened with Waves.

[@thenetworkmystery]

@@budgetkeyboardist Oh yeah, most definitely. I can't stand subscription services

[@AlexanderLindo]

As a an Apple Certified audio professional who uses Logic Pro professionally on a daily basis for producing and mixing the content on my channel, my albums and for my clients, I firmly believe in ownership and being able to upgrade products when I see fit. This trend of subscriptions happened first with Adobe, then Avid then Waves and now Apple. I have always been and remain a fan of Apple but if the option for purchasing software was ever removed, then I would have no need the product. If others want to continue this path and allow companies to take more and more power out of the hands of their customers, then that is their prerogative but I will stand my ground firmly when I say I will not invest in any subscription-only platform. We already have to pay for utilities, we do not need any more subscriptions. I will not allow any trends in the industry to dictate my decisions. I still buy CDs & DVDs, I do not believe in music streaming services either. I own my home, my car, my computer, my music, my daw, my plugins and that is not ever going to change. Having said that, I am happy to see that Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro have made it to the iPad. The only thing holding these new apps back are their subscription-only model.

[@thenetworkmystery]

@@AlexanderLindo Absolutely! One of the very reasons why I LOATHE paying for Sibelius. It angers me every time the bill comes around-I can't believe I'm giving Avid MORE MONEY. I am in complete agreement with you on all fronts, 100%. But yet, I've been convinced by the music industry as a whole to pay for these subscriptions, because "it's what everyone else uses." I don't know what else to say besides it angers me, and that I agree with you 100%.

[@fblondon8426]

This is the day I been waiting for very very happy logic on iPad

[@markalancirino]

I would expect the Mac version to gain parity with the iPad versions effects and such, as Apple says you can take your projects to the Mac, so they'd have to work the same. My worry is that, to gain that parity, you'll have to subscribe to the new version of Final Cut Pro.

[@MrMonkeyCrumpets]

I think you’ll be surprised what the A12 based iPads will accomplish in Logic. Audio workloads tend to be largely reliant on single thread performance until you start adding lots of tracks, so theoretically any track with a plugin chain that runs on the A12X/Z should work fine on the non pro iPads. I wouldn’t want to edit a large multi track project on one but that’s as much to do with the small screen as it is performance.

[@chandraiyer1710]

Logic pro updates that you didnt understand were the seperating barrier between ios and laptop daws. This is the most life changing apple thing for me since iphone. Lets see, cant wait to get my hands on on that control in my ipad. Hope we get more incumbent vst developers adding their products to ipad now due to this.. too bad its subscription only

[@eric_white]

I suspect that they made these new versions with Mac Catalyst in mind. So this new interface for Final Cut and Logic will be coming to Macs as well. But both new Mac apps will have the subscription pricing. They'll keep Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro around for awhile for those who want to keep the pre-paid version (and until all features have transferred). Adobe did something similar as they were transitioning to CC several years ago.

[@jamesblair2713]

The Plug-In Tile view is actually totally new for Logic (aside from the stock EQ). Ableton uses something similar.

[@dylanriner]

He’s prob thinking of smart controls

[@ArianMozafari]

I’m kinda wondering why they didn’t wait till WWDC for the announcement.. seems like there’s gonna be much to reveal during dub dub 😍

[@xnajx]

Good to hear about the Logic Pro update for iPad. I bought Logic Pro with the high hopes of getting into music, but like everything else I get excited about, have basically not touched it. Having the flexibility to mess around in a more relaxed environment could be beneficial.

[@thefilmpoets]

I'm betting that desktop FCP gets these updates just for the fact of cross-compatibility. Lots of people will want to take their work from iPad and finish on desktop.

[@97nelsn]

These FCPX & Logic Pro features and add-ones are coming to the Mac version along with the subscription model.

[@iPodee]

I just made the jump from an iPad 1 from 2010 to an iPad 8 from 2020 literally yesterday, and then a day later Apple drops Final Cut and Logic to iPad (with Logic supporting my iPad). I finally have access to pro apps, like the Adobe apps I use in school (Illustrator, Photoshop, and Lightroom), on my iPad. No need to pull out my ancient 2011 MacBook Pro for doing graphic design work in Illustrator, or editing photos in Photoshop or Lightroom.

[@antifon7]

M1 iPad Pro and later for FCP, A12X/Z and later for Logic Pro, so only more recent iPad Pros or iPad Air, no iPad 8

[@iCarlosPro]

I already have both Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro on my Mac, but I wouldn't mind paying the equivalent of a yearly subscription to both (Or even a bit more) if I could have them on my iPad, without subscription, like the desktop ones.

I’ve been a Final Cut fanboy since my dad bought it with his MacBook in 2011 (and then decided he didn’t like macs at all and gave it to me) SO happy it’s finally coming to iPad. Will definitely need a dongle for an SSD.

[@PossibleJothamChin]

can't believe it still, the iPad is finally the computer we all wanted

[@gadgetguy1379]

I have an MBP with iLife 11 on it (iPhoto, GarageBand, iMovie 9, all the good stuff) and I went into the apple store last year. Looking at Final Cut Pro on the 2021 MBP 16" it was asking to save with an iLife preview. That message is 10 YEARS out of date. I remember just being like "Maybe iLife isn't dead after all"

[@benbranca]

I really hope that the Mac version doesn't go subscription based given the fact that the iPad version is

[@EddyGraphic]

Yeah, I really do not want that to happen, they’ll probably pull an Adobe and keep the current versions as they are and create new ones you’ll need to subscribe to.

[@brentstwocents]

"Yay! Now I can finally edit video on an 11 inch screen!" -said no professional editor ever.

[@MaiElizabeth]

Pinching, draging timeline with fingers - all are already familar to those who have been editing video on smartphone exclusively. (That’s why I struggle to use cursor when I started to use FCPX last week 😅). Hope that with this, Apple will be forced to increase base storage for iPad Air to 128GB.

[@techr1320]

I’d this is what they announce before WWDC shows that the event might be action packed

[@rogeriogomesosorio4755]

A new subscription? Thank you, but no thank you. I got DResolve Studio Version and it’s amazing. Apple just offered DResolve more costumers as there was a lot people wanting for the launch of FCP to the iPad before making a decision. So now, it’s easy: one time payment or life-time subscription?

LUKE - you usually have the foresight and the ability to call out the BS - I followed your knowledge (happily) navigating my 2020 iMac purchase as well as selling it for a Mac Studio so you got me through the Silicon transition so well! Thanks! THIS IS NOT FINAL CUT FOR IPAD - they might say it is - it kinda looks like it is - BUT ITS A COMPLETELY DIFFERNET APP - you can NOT start a project in FCP (MAC) and open it in FCP(iPAD) - all third party plugins have been re created and re paid for - because they are not for this APP - they did NOT bring Final CUT From the MAC to the iPad - they created a COMPLETELY NEW APP - and called it Final Cut and made it for the iPad - Luma Fusion has as much relationship with Final Cut on the Mac - as Final Cut (iPad) - does to FCP on the Mac - and just the fact that I even have to type FCP for MAC and FCP for IPAD is already PROOF they are TWO DIFFERENT APPS! Speak the truth - Spread the word - They did not BRING FINAL CUT TO IPAD!!

[@tyron2854]

[@EddyGraphic]

They’re subscription based now 😬 I really hope they don’t bring that to the macOS versions.

[@colinhoward2200]

This is all well and good - but how do you get your footage onto it to edit quickly? Compared to say a MacBook Pro there is no SD card slot and it only has one USB Slot. It is likely to cost a fortune to get an iPad with enough storage space to edit on. So editing from an external hard drive is going to be a nightmare - as the process of copying from your SD card to an external hard drive will be painful - especially as the File Manager is so poor. It is just one of those apps to drive sales of the declining iPad again. People will most likely keep using (or revert to) MacBooks after they have worked out how disappointing this will be to use and slows down their workflows.

[@brightboxstudio]

Have you tried it? I sometimes do this workflow for photos, and sure it was a pain with Lightning iPads with their limited bus power, but with the USB-C iPads it’s like a computer. First, pick up one of those compact, cheap bus-powered USB-C hubs that are all over Amazon, the ones that have an SD slot and additional ports like USB, Ethernet, audio…. Plug that into the iPad and now you just put your SD card in its hub slot and your SSD into a hub USB port, and they are both connected to the iPad at once. Both show up in the Locations panel of the Files app, so then just Split View two Files windows side by side, and like on the desktop, either drag and drop or copy and paste to transfer the card files to whatever folder you wanted on the iPad. That’s all: Plug them in, open two windows, drag and drop. What is so “painful” about that?

[@jonny4036]

With the sub model it begs the question how does it compare to the iPad version of Davinci Resolve that has a one time fee of $95? Considering BlackMagic has made their licenses good for all new versions at least for the desktop version it seems like the two definitely need to be compared as two years of Final Cut on iPad is $5 more than basically a lifetime Davinci Resolve license on iPad unless at some point BlackMagic changes their business model. Their current CEO though has made it known that he sees the software and its pricing as the key to getting people to buy into their hardware. It is their gateway item so to speak.

[@ghost-user559]

Resolve is objectively better in every possible way, except for ease of use. It takes longer to learn. Once learned it’s far more powerful than FinalCut. Apple has definitely shot themselves in the foot with this. And Resolve is gonna get a ton of sales.

[@Lying29]

Now I am sure that Android tablets are pressing a pressure on high end iPad sales this year.

[@merlijnduynstee]

Personally I think that apple should’ve done this years ago accompanying their “PRO” iPads. I never understood what made these iPads Pro, without having professional apps that would use the full potential of these machines. Having said that, Apple will still need to breach the plugin gap to deliver on the full experience. The AUv3 plugins I have on iPadOS can’t be used on my Mac and the AU/VSTs I have on my Mac won’t run on iPad. Thus far I have yet to meet a professional producer that is totally fine using the stock instruments and effect from logic as a restriction. Unless this is fixed, I don’t see many people working with this once the hype is over.

[@Evan_Rodgers]

Luke how many times did you slap yourself for this video

[@DojoOfCool]

Be interesting to see how it works in the real world. My concerns are the small screen size for app that use a screen real estate. The Apple will be selling iPad with a lot more storage because those apps have a lot of support libraries especially Logic. Then Logic recording music typically uses outboard gear for audio interfaces and such and only one port on the iPad and I sure the iPad will need power connected to power external gear. I bet the companies making hubs for iPad are smiling about now. Then iPadOS isn't great at file handling so that another thing that could be a bottleneck. So real world use will be interesting.

[@jeffsancricca7041]

[@iPodee]

true. I’ve ran Premiere Pro 2023 (for schoolwork) on my 2011 MacBook Pro and it ran, without melting. I’m sure Final Cut will work just fine on an iPad 8.

In fact, DaVinci Resolve for iPad Pro works perfectly on 2018 iPad Pros (I have this), even with all the modules, and it's completely free.

[@hardboiled2000]

I just canceled my Adobe subscription because I was tired of paying over $60 a month for software I only used for one client who I no longer work fore. All the others, I use FCP or Resolve Studio. Both of which I have paid $300, ONCE. I will stick for travel FCP using my trusty MacBook Air M1 which I already own. Even though I have a iPad Pro M2, I can always use Resolve on the iPad if I need editing as it was a free download. Hope it stays that way.
