Apple Releases Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for iPad

[hovscorpion12]

A 256GB iPad Pro disk speed test is just as insanely fast.

Costs $1199 on 12.9" or $899 for 11"

Who else is stuck on the subscription page, even after signing up?

Worked just fine for me in a under a minute

 

[rjjacobson]

Yay! Let the creativity begin! Who's ready to test it out?

Already done @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️ I use other photo editing from time to time and when not retired for a few years got cheap Adobe educational programs but not now. Will give this a year at $49 to see if I like and use as much as I did with adobe stuff. Worth a try.

I don't prefer subscriptions, but I will accept them if the updates are consistent, and significant.

If these apps really are the equivalent of their $200 Mac counterparts then $50/year is fairly reasonable. Perpetual free updates for a 1-off purchase are nice, but honestly unsustainable if developers like to eat hot meals and sleep indoors.

Very cool! But I don't need it for anything. It's nice to have it just in case I need to edit a video or something, though :3

The Final Cut page says it only needs an A12 or better instead of an M1. I am currently downloading it on my A12Z as I type.

Given the insane flash storage price that Apple charges for iPad, you have to spend a lot of money to have a usable FCP setup on iPad, to the point where it’s better to go with a MacBook Air.

But I bet you $1 that you CAN run the IOS version of FCP on your MacBook Air.

I have found that most iPad apps run very well on my M2-based Mac Mini. This is one of the good things about having the iPhone, iPad, and Mac all running ARM CPUs.

But no way would I want FCP or Logic on a tiny screen. Those two apps need at least a 27" screen and usually two of those. And yes, at least 100 or 200 GB of free storage space.

In a couple days after Apple's servers recover, I'll try FCP on my Mac. I already have FCP on my Mac, but I still want to try.

Except, Blackmagic beat Apple to the punch months ago with Davinci Resolve on iPad, AND Davinci Resolve is free.

Subscription, so it's a no from me.

its A lot better than having to sink £350 on it, especially if you are a student or more amateur user that this is aimed at. FCP doesn’t support external drives for saving projects to so you can’t just pull something from the Mac and work on it on an iPad.

Your ire should really be aimed at Apple for not providing a one-off £350 purchase option or not supporting cross buy between the Mac and iPad.

regarding you need an iPadPro M with 2TB if you take Logic serious its double money for apple to make it subscription only.

Nice! Let us know how you like it.

 

[Macalway]

Looks great. Lots of stuff. Game changer (and I even hate that expression! LOL )

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Yes sir! But I think I'm going to wait a few days before I purchase the subscription. I need to find time to do all the editing too.

Why would I when I got a perpetual license for both programs on my Mac?

Or, you could plug an external SSD into your iPad and use that. You can get an 4 TB Samsung T7 Shield for about $220.

You better get used to it , that's the future

The future belongs to Open Source

This is not some indie devs were talking about , it's apple, the first company to reach a trillion, the company with some of the highest (if not the highest) margins there can be

They Already make a hell lot of money by selling limited hw and forcing upsell and storage upgrades(especially since FCP on ipadOS doesn't support external drive, so you're forced to get higher storage tier) , it's not like they're sleeping outdoors
