The Files app will connect to several third-party cloud providers or to your own NAS.
Because it's not good press. They want this to be washed away with any hype that comes from WWDC.
I own for FCP and Logic. Am I still going to have to pay for these mobile versions?
Apple today announced that Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro are coming to the iPad later this month via subscription models.

Apple says that Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro feature all-new touch interfaces that take advantage of multi-touch on the iPad:
Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for the iPad will each be available for $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year, with a one-month free trial. Final Cut Pro requires an iPad with an M1 chip or newer, while Logic Pro requires an A12 Bionic iPad or newer. The apps will be available on the App Store starting on Tuesday, May 23.
Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro includes a digital jog wheel to navigate the Magnetic Timeline, move clips, and make frame-accurate edits. Live drawing allows users to draw and write directly on top of video content with the Apple Pencil, with support for Apple Pencil hover to skim and preview footage. Key commands are enabled when using an external keyboard. Final Cut Pro on iPad also supports the 12.9-inch iPad Pro's Reference Mode for color accurate editing.
Machine learning features include Scene Removal Mask to quickly remove or replace backgrounds without using a green screen, Auto Crop for adjusting footage for vertical, square, and other aspect ratios, and Voice Isolation to remove background noise easily.
The app includes a library of graphics, effects, and audio, including HDR backgrounds, animated patterns, and soundtracks that automatically adjust to the duration of a video.
Pro camera mode allows creators to shoot video in Final Cut Pro in landscape or portrait, monitor audio and recording time, and manually control settings like exposure, white balance, and focus. Multicam video editing automatically synchronizes clips for editing together, making it possible to switch angles with a single touch.
Media can be imported from Files or Photos and saved directly inside a Final Cut Pro project. The app also supports import of projects created in iMovie, and users can export Final Cut Pro projects made on iPad to the Mac.
Logic Pro
Logic Pro for the iPad uses a range of multi-touch gestures to play software instruments and and navigate projects. The Apple Pencil facilitates precision edits and detailed drawn track automation. Like Final Cut Pro, key commands are supported when using an external keyboard. Using the iPad's built-in microphones, users can also capture audio directly in the app.
The app has a full-featured mixer with channel strips, volume faders, pan controls, plug‑ins, sends, and precise automation. Multi-touch lets creators move and mix multiple faders at once, and the mixer meter bridge lets them navigate an overview of track levels.
An all-new sound browser with dynamic filtering helps creators explore all available instrument patches, audio patches, plug‑in presets, samples, and loops in one location. Users can simply tap to listen to any sound before adding it to a project.
The app includes over 100 instruments and effect plug-ins, with plug-in tiles for the most important controls. Production tools enable users to chop and flip samples, program beats and bass lines, and create custom drum kits.
A new time and pitch-morphing plug-in called Beat Breaker allows creators to swipe and pinch to reshape and shuffle sounds. The Quick Sampler can chop and transform samples into new playable instruments, while Step Sequencer lets users program drum patterns, bass lines, and melodies, and automate plug‑ins. Drum Machine Designer offers the ability to create custom drum kits by applying samples and plug‑ins to any drum pad. Using Live Loops, users can quickly build arrangements.
Logic Pro for the iPad supports roundtrip capabilities to move projects between Logic Pro for the Mac and iPad. iPad users can export completed... Click here to read rest of article

This is Tim Crook Apple though and through. Seed the subscription model into every element possible.
Innovation at Apple these days is working out how to get more money from the customer, not make new/better products.

Because Apple knows the subscription model is a no no and they don't want that mojo during their expo.
$5/month or $50/year for someone who edits videos for work is a reasonable deal. It sucks that it's subscription based but it's still a reasonable deal.
But obviously you cannot beat the unbeatable deal of one-time purchase of Lumafusion and DaVinci Resolve.
The good things is there is now competition with these apps and you can choose the that fits your workflow and budget.

Indeed. I only need to use FCP maybe once a year, and I currently have a second-hand DVD version running on a 32-bit machine that's very long in the tooth. I'd love to see a rental option on the Mac for people like me who only need it once in a blue moon.
How would that help you in obtaining subscription based apps legally ?
renting is a great option for casual users or just to try something out, but for long term use a one time purchase is certainly preferable
I think that the fear that people have is that the desktop versions become subscription only, which presumably being all the more powerful and useful would certainly also be more expensive subscriptions
unlike FCP, Adobe is constantly adding features. Premiere updates at about 10 to 1 ratio to FCP updates.
I dumped my M1 Pro and went with iPad Mini 6 so I don't really have a dog in this fight. Buuuuutttt... if Premiere hits the iPad, I may be back on the Pro.

Holy SH! They actually finally did it!!
Release date for Logic for iPad is 1 day before my BornDay yup time to get that M1/M2 iPad Pro 11”
I’ll bet the performance is FASTER than on my ‘2018 MBP i7.
Indeed! I figured this would’ve been a WWDC showing but with no mention of using VST’s showers what they’ve needed to do.
Let's hope. Otherwise, let's BUYcott!
Whatever the subscription model may have stood for or helped at this point simply feels like a grift.
IMO, Davinci Resolve makes a far more compelling argument for their iPad app, with what sounds like better platform interchange between and mac and iPad. The subscription and cross compatibility is a bit hindering to FCP, again, IMO.
Not really. You could keep on using the version you had, unless an OS update broke it (something Microsoft deliberately did to Quattro Pro and Word Perfect). Then you had to buy an upgrade.

'People have told us over and over and over again, they don't want to rent their music. Just to make that perfectly clear: Music's not like a video. Your favorite movie you may watch 10 times in your life; your favorite song you're going to listen to a thousand times in your life. If it costs you $10 a month, or over $100 a year, for a subscription fee to rent that song, that means for me to listen to my favorite song in 10 years I paid over $1,000 in subscription fees to listen to my favorite song 10 years from now, and that just doesn't fly with customers. They don't want subscriptions.'

Requires? I’m sure the videos I have in iMovie for iPad could be edited within the 2TB of storage I have. It’s more the project that may require a professional storage system, not the app.

'These services treat you like a criminal. And they are subscription based and we think subscriptions are the wrong path. One of the reasons we think this is because people bought their music for as long as we can remember. We bought our music on LPs, we bought our music on cassettes, we bought our music on CDs. And we think people want to buy their music on the internet by buying downloads just like they bought LPs, just like they bought cassettes, just like they bought CDs. They’re used to buying their music, and they’re used to getting a broad set of rights with it. When you own your music it never goes away. When you own your music you have a broad set of personal use rights — you can listen to it however you want.'

ONLY if you want to run FCP and Logic on an iPad for more than the free month trial. Otherwise, no you don’t have to pay for them.
