Agree. I don't want a hard drive dangling off to the side, but I also don't want to pay too much for internal storage (while also paying for iCloud Drive too). - Vjeran
This is the biggest shocker for me. It’s not only about the cost of storage but the ability to take a hard drive with videos from anyone and start editing.
@@WestGeorgiaAirCooled you had to import all your media from your storage to either your cloud or ipad before your edit, taking up space, you dont have to do that with resolve
That live drawing is TIGHT. They need to make projects compatible across machines so people can: start on a Mac, jump to the iPad for some squiggle squiggle action, then finish on a big boy machine.
now i wish they able to mirror the live drawing from ipad to the mac so i can edit on mac but scribble some text animation on ipad for on the fly. that’ll be awesome
It sure is _odd_ that Apple would limit something which _coincidentally_ forces people to purchase iPads with higher storage which just so happen to be upgrades that are notoriously ridiculously expensive. What an oddly specific omission by Apple, indeed.
I expected the iPad version of FCP to not come with certain features that are in the Mac. But the features missing and how many they are missing is actually quite a deal breaker. Like, how could you not be able to add markers or compound clips; or even import entire folders? That last one is quite a deal breaker for me tbh. Guess I’m sticking with the Mac for my editing for now.
Yeah... I was stubborn and tried it anyway and it doesn't let me separate sound from clip (essential to my workflow) nor exporting in vertical mode... I wanted an easy solution to edit TikToks on the go but seems like no can do

Interesting how many total dealbreakers there are in this for just normal video editing workflows. It feels like Apple might be targeting an audience of either newer content creators who will adapt to its limitations, or Apple-diehards who for some reason would see value in starting a project on an M1 iPad and then moving it to their M1 MacBook to finish. That's perfectly fine, I guess, but I hope they aren't expecting to attract anyone else.
Oh man. During the testing process I kept asking myself if "I'm the old-school editor at this point!? Is this what the kids want?!" Went through a whole existential crisis on this one! 😆
I think this is just the first batch of implementations, they'll probably keep on adding more features in later updates until both desktop and iPad are similar, and quality of life updates that make more sense for a touch interface, kind of like what's been happening with photoshop
The iPad one looks clunky and the fact it doesn’t let you edit off external is a killer. Unless you use the iPhone for your videos to use on the iPad, those files are huge. Forget it on the Panasonic GH6 and using the iPad running Final Cut Pro on it. I’ll just keep using Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro on Mac.
As someone who isn't even a serious video editor (I use Final Cut Pro just for my RUclips channel and some personal projects), there are so many turnoffs in this version of Final Cut that I can't imagine myself or anyone who's actually serious about video editing using this. So many basic features like external drive support, folder importing, markers, compound clips and disabling clips just aren't here. Not to mention the cost, nearly $3000 for a fully loaded iPad with storage, a keyboard, and a pencil, as well as the subscription fee for final cut. Professionals would be better off buying a Mac with a one time fee for Final Cut Pro as it would likely be cheaper and much more powerful. This feels like an iMovie Pro at this point, not a true version of Final Cut Pro. There might still be hope though, it will be interesting to see where Apple takes this in the future.
Yes. So much right. Are you supposed to only use your footage you filmed and downloaded on the iPad? Or do the seriously want you to copy all your media on this before you can start your edits. It's so ridicolous.
Best review I’ve seen so far, you’re not out here selling dreams with this new app. I think i set my expectations too high for this. I am not a DaVinci user but I think DaVinci for the iPad is better in many ways. anyone else agree?
Everyone agrees. The other Apple tech RUclips channels all sold out and took some back room deal to pretend this is acceptable. Resolve or lumafusion is the clear victor here.
I film all of my videos on my iphone 14 pro max and edit all of my videos with capcut on a M2 ipad pro, best video editor to get 4K HDR videos rendered easily, my videos actually show up as 4K HDR on youtube (main reason why I didn't went with a macbook air, for some reason macos, android and windows make it super difficult to edit, render and upload HDR, but not iOS).
So here’s something else I just realized. Once you import your video into your photos app, I found that when you import those videos into the Final Cut project, they are duplicated and placed elsewhere on the iPad as well effectively, needing even more space.
(Before video) Final Cut Pro on iPad is a dream come true. Although I have a 2nd Gen iPad Pro 11inch I cant run it, have to wait until I get a new one. Honestly this is exciting, being able to record and then edit right on the device. Professionally editing by touch. Very exciting.
A bit disappointed by this review. It takes the perspective of someone already deeply familiar with FC Pro. However, what about the Prosumer who is trying to decide between LumaFusion, Davinci or FC. A comparison with those offerings would have been more value especially since they run on the older iPads etc. FC mostly seems like a pass but would have been good to really compare it what else is on the market for iPad video editing.
They made the best video editing software, very intuitive, easy to use, just fantastic! Then they decided to ruin it by not making external drive support, seriously! Anyway great video!
I was on board with this, limitations and all, until it’s noted as a $5 monthly subscription. Oof no thanks to that, especially with so many missing features, and limitations between platforms. I want something like Lightroom CC where it syncs it all in the cloud, or at least allows back and forth syncing….it’s seems so needlessly missing.
Oh I know. I've been the victim of it already and I started tweeting about it back in March (my drive failed in January). We just wrote an article about it yesterday too. Never trust a product with a 70% discount! 😆
Not being able to open FCPX projects on the iPad that were created on the Mac is a deal killer for now. Keynote, which I use a lot allows this and the workflow is perfect. Hopefully Apple will change this at some point.
This is a great review, thanks for testing so many little details of it! I'm even more confused than at the launch event about who this is for. Obviously it's for newer editors. But the price to make this an equivalent setup to a 13" MBP is higher and with a ton of trade offs. Who are these users, who have a specced out iPad Pro but REFUSE to buy a laptop??
I am more of a casual creator than professional editor, that said I still work with 4k/6k, 10bit files and thought FCP for iPad might be perfect to bring on some of my multi week/months long bicycle touring trips so that I could edit my videos as I travel while laying in my hammock or at a hostel or coffee shop. Form factor is basically perfect and if the battery life is at least okay for a few hours of editing then that's great. But lack of stabilization (which is already pretty poor on FCP anyways) and no ease in/out for key frames is a pretty big omission.
I have Luma fusion on my iPad Pro 12.9 with A12z bionic, and it's more than enough for almost all the editing I do. Plenty fast. But I've been getting terrible battery life in general. I guess it's time to upgrade.
Since you are home why not also hook it to a big screen TV so you can show us how it works on the bigger screen. Does it let you draw on the iPad and at the same time edit on the tv?
It's just sad how Apple acts like the A12X is like only as powerful as an iPhone 4... the A12X/Z would be EASILY able to handle it. All those terrible Intel Macs were able to do it too.
"I want to see if I'm ready to make iPad my main editng machine?" - I feel this immediately misses the point of what the iPad should be for. FCP for iPad should be for simple social style shorts and your longer style documentary films should be on FCP for mac. Thankfullyit seems like Apple have made FCP for iPad primarily focused on short form content, leaving longer form for FCP on mac. This makes sense.
Seems like they are targeting folks like me that may not need most of the things missing in this, but even someone like me that will be editing one camera, usually shorter clips needs to be able to connect an external hard drive! Apple had YEARS to get this at least 99% of the way to the desktop version and they didn't. Other than live drawing, I am sticking with DaVinci.
I have the 12 2018 model of the iPad and was hopping this will get me to upgrade. I’m gonna wait until next year iPad to upgrade. Hopefully it is a bigger 15 inch one lol
How is green screen effects? Do that exist in this version and how did the final product turn out? I use one for my video. I normally add green screen on the desktop version of Final Cut Pro then edit my video in Lima fusion on the iPad
Reminds me of the beginning of FCP X on the Mac. Might be a deal breaker for pro customers right now but I feel like Apple will eventually end up with a pretty good product.
I been trying to edit a 8k 30fps on my iPad Pro M2 with FCPX and it doesn’t even playback, but if I open the same Video on the same iPad with Davinci Resolve I have no issues at all, the playback it’s really smooth, If by the end of my trial they don’t fix that I’m gonna cancel it.
I don’t really like conspiracies but most professional and popular apps suffer from the same problem. The ipads are so strong and intuitive today (amazing tools) but the apps are far from the desktop versions. For example photoshop might be the most popular program for designers & photographers and the app version is unusable as a professional tool. Its almost like Apple doesn’t want the ipads to have full version apps because it might kill their desktop/laptop market.
Lack of external storage support is a dealbreaker for me. I get the reasoning (simpler, guarantees smooth performance) but as a Mac user I don't see myself even using iPad to supplement my main FCPX projects with this ridiculous scheme.
@@ghost-user559 Some Apple sheeps will be doing just that, just because it's called final cut and they use it on their Macs. Most people however will indeed stay with Lumafusion and DaVinci
@@_Digitalguy I completely agree. The fact is that they are hoping most younger social media users will not actually notice it does not have the features of Resolve or something similar. So I think they want people who don’t know any better. And some people will never look into other options.

Hi brother thank you for review. I have FinalCut on my MacBook and despite that, I should pay for iPad Pro. Its ridiculous. But may I kindly ask if it has green screen Keyer? Thank you.
Just looking at the UI of this app, you can clearly tell it's not designed for touch, it's designed for the pencil or a trackpad. So let's just please start doing that to the rest of the iPad UI as well!
Not for every application and menu. A lot of iPad os is touch first. But Affinity and light room and many professionals apps like Procreate already use a stylus based menu system and ui
Hello mate! I have an odd and really specific question you might be able to answer. Can you play with the audio channels at all? In my case I use audio from a rode wireless go and I use channel right for one mic and left for the other one. I’d like to merge them back but being able to crank one or the other if I need to.
I have to say that enabling and disabling a clip is not how to edit anyway. I literally cut to elements in a song, conversation, or video and drag the top of it to the desired matching element in the song if it's a music video. That feature will slow you down!
Thanks for mentioning 50 seconds in that we can’t edit projects with external files. Now I have pretty much zero interest in this. With a high turnaround files on disk is pretty essential in my video work. It’s not unusual to have 3-5 hours of footage for a project, already shot directly from camera to SSD. Should just plug it in and go.
It's hard to say for who this is for. With cloud storge and cloud projects, this might get in handy, but overall this is weird. To work well and fast you better get a keyboard and mouse. However why not go with a Macbook and some easy external storge in the first place? Color Wheels and curves would be nice for touch features, but they are missing wtf. Just go with Adobe Rush or DaVinci for your mobile needs. This has to go a long way until touch and gesture GUIs are where workstations are right now. What the heck... why is this a subscription app???
Am I the last one to switch to DaVinci Resolve?
Once you switch to Davinci, you will never go back, trust me. I leave Premiere and Final Cut 5 years ago, and only choose DR for my media publications.
We’re on FCP. Waiting until next keynote. If apple doesn’t announce any new features for FCP, then making the switch
You're at least the last one to switch to 16:9 exports.. What's with the black borders in this video?
I haven't switched to DaVinci yet. I'll keep going with premier pro
If you touch Resolve you will even forget that you have final cut on you devices 😂
Lack of external drive support kills this, no one even slightly serious will use this

can't edit off external drives? uh... that's a bit silly to put it lightly
(After Watching) Feels like Final Cut Pro 1.0 for iPad. It’s a good start, I think once we hit 3.0 or 4.0 itll be on parity.
M2 MBAir, 24G/2T, full FCP. Lighter than your 12.9 iPad Pro + keyboard and much more versatile on the go. With external SSD for backups :-)
I’m a bit sad Dieter doesn’t get to make this video
oh putting text behind subjects even fails miserably...

Was this video edited off the iPad?
I don't think I would have finished it in time if I edited on an iPad.
I don't think there's any other companies can receive so much user experience response so quickly after launching a new App

For drone footage will this be good or just keep using LumaFusion?
Спасибо. Исчерпывающе, чтоб принять решение о покупке iPad для монтажа
Waaaaay too many compromises. WHY?
…version 1. Patience is a virtue. In fact, this is a pretty great start. If it is not for you, then use a laptop or DaVinci or another competitor.
Until fcp has scopes, curves, wheels etc. & supports external hard drives, im sticking with lumafusion.
Interesting start. This seems viable as an alternative to editing phone apps but not for projects I work on.
Hi brother thank you for review. I have FinalCut on my MacBook and despite that, I should pay for iPad Pro. Its ridiculous. But may I kindly ask if it has green screen Keyer? Thank you.
I tried to skip to compound clipping cause that's the money maker feature.
Just looking at the UI of this app, you can clearly tell it's not designed for touch, it's designed for the pencil or a trackpad. So let's just please start doing that to the rest of the iPad UI as well!
Not for every application and menu. A lot of iPad os is touch first. But Affinity and light room and many professionals apps like Procreate already use a stylus based menu system and ui
Hello mate! I have an odd and really specific question you might be able to answer. Can you play with the audio channels at all? In my case I use audio from a rode wireless go and I use channel right for one mic and left for the other one. I’d like to merge them back but being able to crank one or the other if I need to.
Can’t edit off external drive… but can you import, edit, export, then import it again and continue editing and export it back out again?
Can you get media from your external drive and then edit it and put it back on or western phone wireless drives
Except the Animation(Live Drawing) I don’t see any usage of FCP on the iPad Pro!!! There are just too many limitations!!!!
3:38 The live drawing is the only great feature available in the FCPro that I wished was available in the DVResolve
I have to say that enabling and disabling a clip is not how to edit anyway. I literally cut to elements in a song, conversation, or video and drag the top of it to the desired matching element in the song if it's a music video. That feature will slow you down!
Great Review, Thanks!
Importing Side Note: Sometime the music level is a bit too high, Competing with your syncs and distracting
The software has potential. I’m 100% sure it will be improved.
Thanks for mentioning 50 seconds in that we can’t edit projects with external files. Now I have pretty much zero interest in this. With a high turnaround files on disk is pretty essential in my video work. It’s not unusual to have 3-5 hours of footage for a project, already shot directly from camera to SSD. Should just plug it in and go.
Coming from Mac and not disappointed at all.

How much storage do you recommend that we at least have for video editing on Ipad Pro? Would 512GB be good enough?
Minimum Lovable Product, as we say in the biz. Great starting point, I can live with these tradeoffs.
Do i have o buy this again or is my mac version enough?
It's hard to say for who this is for. With cloud storge and cloud projects, this might get in handy, but overall this is weird. To work well and fast you better get a keyboard and mouse. However why not go with a Macbook and some easy external storge in the first place? Color Wheels and curves would be nice for touch features, but they are missing wtf. Just go with Adobe Rush or DaVinci for your mobile needs. This has to go a long way until touch and gesture GUIs are where workstations are right now. What the heck... why is this a subscription app???
