Use iPad Camera Connection kit
Use the Camera connection kit, and plug your iPhone directly into the iPad (with a sync cord); it automatically pulls up the photo app allowing you to import photos AND VIDEO into iPad. Couldn't be easier...but a tad slow (since video files are a tad big!

.Oops,
Sorry, misspoke there. Video is not synced via iCloud, but your photos are. The most effective way to share video between devices is to sync to your computer for now.
I wondered if there would be a "boohoo" cry from the "we are above you" editors in here - and indeed, it didn't take long. You must be so high up there that you even cry if someone releases a product for other people to use. I don't do any editing and I frankly don't care much about it beyond putting my home videos on DVD for the relatives so they see my son grow up (since my family lives overseas). I feel sorry for you guys who see their inflated ego threatened if someone resleases some app which makes it easier for us tech-savvy users who are willing and able to work their way into some software for hobby editing.
What I take from your post: You must not do a very good job if an app like this makes you feel that if they bring this app, they don't care for you oh so holy professionals. Does that mean you feel that what you do is actually easy to do with this program and they take away your ability to cash in?
I know this was sarcastic and sartiric, but my point is: There are quite some video editor trolls out there thinking no one else is as "pro" as they are. Once they know a program and can make cool stuff, every change or advance is seen as a threat to their ego.
FYI, my comment was EXTREMELY sarcastic. Chill. Your last two sentences was exactly my point as well. I was simply making a joke to those who cried when FCPX came out. People who think they can never change and their way is the right way. For the record I do not I do not use Avid or Premiere.
I use both FCP7 and FCPX...and I feel FCPX is on its way to being a great utility for professional editors. For those who jumped the boat and made the switch from FCP to something else so quickly, I hope they found what they needed for their workflow, but I think they'll be sorry in the long run. Luckily, I have the luxury of waiting a bit longer to use what I've been using for years before making any rash decisions.
I do not consider myself an editing god by any means (I believe no one is...that we all learn every day), but I do consider myself a professional. Maybe not by L.A. standards (not in film and major Hollywood productions), but in broadcast production nonetheless (formerly news [CBS affiliates] and currently in government access) and freelancing (multi-cam concerts, corporate videos). This ain't no hobby...it is, indeed, how I make a living.
Granted, I didn't add the "[sarcastic on] [sarcastic off] in my post, but I find it quite amusing, though, that it sparked such angry posts...
This article should be helpful for pulling photos and videos from one device to another via a pc/mac.

Yes, it's normal format when rendering to a file (it will appear in Photos app when rendered, and can be synced back through iTunes) is Quicktime.
We also support upload to Youtube and Facebook currently.
Photos sync without issue with iCloud, but video drives me nuts. I want to be able to shoot some video on my iPhone and have it copied to my iPad for editing.

I don't have the kit... and it's probably expensive $$
Transferring video from iPhone to iPad
I use PhotoSync. You install the app on both devices and they have to be on the same WiFi network but it works fairly well. I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad 1. I have had hiccups when selecting a lot of photos and videos at once. So now, for longer video clips (over 5 minutes) I do them one at a time. I used to use it to move photos also and still do for a photo edited on the iPad 1.

That is correct. If iPad can play it, Avid Studio should be able to use it for editing.
Use an app called PhotoSync. It is universal, works on both iPhone and iPad, and transfers pics and videos at full resolution from your camera roll wirelessly. Mac companion app, as well. Best $1.99 you'll spend if this is what your after.
Also, the Cam Connection Kit works to transfer pics and vids by plugging the iPhone USB sync cable into the USB dongle on the iPad and importing away, as well. The iPad sees your iPhone as if it were a regular camera!
Wish I had an iPad just so I could try this out. It could be great for just brainstorming and trying out shots.
I can't see it being very useful if you can't take video directly from an SD card, though. As fun as the iPhone is for video, it's pretty limited to say the least. If I could grab stuff from a real camcorder, though, that would be awesome.

That's what everyone with a career has to go through to get anywhere. And yet, even with all that, the entertainment industry turns out a steady stream of garbage with few gems scattered in between. But it doesn't really matter to anyone but the people who made it, because it's just entertainment. People put it on in the background as noise to tune out, or when they're bored, or stoned, or to escape reality for an hour or so. You guys aren't curing diseases, discovering the new physics, innovating anything life-changing, or building really anything of practical importance at all. You throw out and string together whats left other peoples work into... a story, for a tiny fraction of the worlds people to see. The endless award shows entertainment people hold in their own honor (televised, for our benefit, of course) is revealing of how overvalued film people seem to think they are. I have yet to see an award show for the people who actually do the work in reality that keeps life on earth from being hell on earth for you. Just because a ton of money used to pour into film (too much, by the looks of the market) doesn't mean it's some great noble wonderful thing that only genius artistes can touch. Film as art can be great, but be honest about how much film is art and how much is industrial product. Who is the most creative in film? Hollywoods studio establishment? Of course not. It's always the serious amateurs. Call them prosumers. Then they go on to be studio establishment and make the same freaking drivel the rest of you do.
Frankly I'm glad to see "entertainment" losing its ass to the internet, and being devalued back down to more realistic levels. People downloading movies illegally at such a rate that it threatens your entire industry should indicate to you that your product is not worth what you're charging for it.
Enabling more people to be creative is better. When anyone can make a film, only one in ten thousand might be worth watching, but that's still a hell of a lot more good film than we've got to choose from now.
Looks like a great editor for iOS..
I am a pro who uses Final Cut, ProTools, Logic, QuarkXpress, Photoshop etc - hell I even have an old G4 tower just running FreeHand MX... but I love these iOS apps - I don't always want to use FCP for video editing my iPhone movies thanks. One day iOS apps may replace 'pro' apps but until then treat them for what they are - great fun and creative.

iPad video editing is not aimed to replace desktop editing. not yet

Yes. You can use "Video File" export option. It renders your project to Camera Roll. And it is a .mov file.
Cool
Very cool idea curious to see what it can do, the more tools the better.
Come on "pros" lighten up, editing is fun for everyone. I say I'm a pro just by definition of getting paid to do something. I use FCP and Adobe, I'm not upset about people learning to edit, the more competition the better, makes us better (if anyone played sports they would understand). If you have the talent and know how a person using just iMovie can make a great video.
Plus look at the big picture, this is an David marketing tool, I doubt Avid is going to make much money from an iPad app, they want you to see what Avid can really do then pay for the real deal.
The "pros" crack me up when prices drop on applications.....Sorry were not the kings cause we can afford it or work for an editing company that loads up your computer.
This is an art form, you either have it or don't, no matter the tool or price.

Congrats to the whole Avid Studio iPad team! Kudos to Chris for answering as many questions as he can.
The app looks slick guys, keep it up.
(disclosure, I also worked on this app)
thanks tyoungbe for your contributions to the project!

Camera Kit is a good way to add quality media to your iPad. It's up on the Apple store for $29. You can use it as an SD card reader or plug you device directly via USB. Here is the description from Apple:
"The iPad Camera Connection Kit gives you two ways to import photos and videos from a digital camera: using your cameras USB cable or directly from an SD card. iPad and the Camera Connection Kit support standard photo formats, including JPEG and RAW, along with SD and HD video formats, including H.264 and MPEG-4. "

I agree, im a professional video editor and the easier the software the better. Good editors aren't good editors because they can use software but because they can craft stories well. Most of the "editors" who freak about this are clinging to an old way of thinking and are on their way out in this business.
On a side note. this would be great if it worked off low res proxies of files so producers in the field could access video and string out storyboards and rough cuts etc etc. Would kick ass. Avid is doing amazing things nowadays and I recommend anyone who wants to get into video editing to start with it.
If it's that big a deal why not do it on the mac? These aren't for doing sophisticated content, it's for rough and quick stuff, so users can post on social sites, not for pro work... but a cross platform editor would be cool, it would have to export and import pro formats. If this is what you need, get it... no reason to go on a tangent.
Hey Avid Team!
I don't think I've ever got to meet you guys (I know a lot of the Avid Audio team, and I have worked closely with your NYC Euphonix guys a lot) but on behalf of my staff and crew welcome to the iPad!
This looks like amazing first steps into a steller product. I want to pass on some of the requests from my camp (and I'm sure you've heard these before)
1. We'd love to be able to view/use network shared media, even if we needed some sort of server/caching app running on a Mac to push proxies to the iPad
2. We'd love to be able to export an XML/EDL/AAF/Whatever to Avid Media Composer to continue editorial work
3. Some sort of collaborative environment to share cuts and exchange notes
I'm sure you've seen it but something in line with what ClipTouch was for FCP server, but usable in an AVID world
Thanks again for this awesome App and I look forward to seeing it progress

That would make me happier than a pig in...
I shot my friend's last concert with his band and he as well as a few fans are waiting on the footage. If you can give me a little more concrete answer to work with, You have yourself a sale.
Thank you for the reply, by the way.
