DaVinci Resolve for iPad Now Available on the App Store

Its free??! DaVinci is a completely free app (competing with the paid apps like FCP and Premiere). Its only the studio version that commands the extra price. Most people have no need of the studio, if you do then its not much to pay.
The free version is not a hobbled app, most non-pro users will be happy with free. From the main app description(not the IOS one) studio offers in addition:
includes everything in the free version plus the DaVinci Neural Engine, dozens of additional Resolve FX, temporal and spatial noise reduction, stereoscopic 3D, film grain, optical blur and mist effects, and more. It also supports 10‑bit video at up to 120 frames per second and resolutions beyond 4K.
That’s an odd statement. iPads have always used Apple Silicon. Or does this mean it won’t run on A series chips?
This is definitely a shot across LumaFusion's bow.
Davinci Resolve is making waves by offering a free version on MacOS and now on iPadOS. While it doesn't have high end features, it will accomplish a lot of what most users need.

This faux confusion is unnecessary. When Apple said they are transitioning their Macs to “apple silicon”, did you think they meant M# chips or A# chips?
What's wrong with the App Store Search? I did a search and had to scroll down for a while to be able to find it.
It was in the 68th position, even when I made a specific search for its name.

Yup, as a Lumafusion user it has been really nice especially for the price that it is, but it was missing a lot. Along with iPads getting the external monitor support it is just another step closer to a tablet being the one device for most.
One less thing to point out as missing in iPadOS. Maybe in another decade we could use it (instead of the Mac) for anything. Until then I’ll keep using my MacBook Air.
I can’t find the in app purchase for Resolve studio. Does anyone know where it is?
*Edit. Just found it. Is a bit complicated. You have to add a transition that is linked to Resolve Studio. It will prompt to make the in app purchase.

I saw a prompt that pops when you want to use some of the premium effects.
No it isn't. Ask how many people what the marketing term, Apple Silicon means. Only us nerds will reply with a correct answer.

When Apple uses the expression "Apple Silicon" is always to refer to their M# Processors.
Transitioning their Macs to Apple Silicon means transitioning their Macs CPUs from Intel Processors to M# Chips.
The Apple Silicon Chip is an all-in-one Component: Processor (CPU), GPU (Graphics Chip), RAM, SSD, Neural Engine and more. All this now integrated in a single very efficient Chip.
A# Chips is what iPhone, non-Pro iPad, HomePod, Watch, AppleTV, and other products use.
The A# chip was designed for mobile devices.
Here's a great explanation: https://www.trustedreviews.com/versus/apple-a15-vs-apple-m1-4167752

Yep, prior to the M1 we never heard the term Apple Silicon referring to the A# devices. There is even a product page on the App Store that tells you what the deal is.

Well that’s awesome! I spend a lot of time in Resolve on my MBP, but can see myself cutting on the go with a newer iPad when I upgrade my old one. Does the iPad app include the edit, fusion, and fairlight tabs or is it paired down to just color and cut tab for now?
anyone having issues trying to go full screen on the external monitor? It’s stuck on one size for me.
I mean, the implementations is remarkable, however I cannot see myself edit a video on a 12,9" display.
Not even on a laptop (I have been spoilt by using 2 displays pretty much all my professional life).

Apple Silicon simply refers to Apple "made" / designed stuff.
if i'm not mistaken, M = more or less A design anyway, with maybe a few tweaks here and there, and of course more cores.
yes, it happened that Apple started with M for their computer lineup. but they also had to impress people with great results for them to realize that these are viable options even for "power users".
if anything, they could now offer some A chips in their laptops too, which would still be more than plenty powerful for "netbook" designs, if Apple was interested in that sector.

It's laughable, bordering embarrassing, the amount of people around here who put on this faux confusion regarding all things Apple. This is just another means to an end for them, along with how utterly confusing they find the iPad line up, how completely fazed they are that an iPad can exist alongside a mac but not have macOS, how the iPad cant be pro because Apple havent released their limited and frankly quite sub par collection of pro apps.
Their tiny little minds would explode should they ever venture to any other tech vendors website and try to work out the mess that nearly all of them create with their product lines, whilst simultaneously not even writing the software for anything.
You don’t understand.
Davinci is not JUST one program. Inside of it is the entire suite of:media, editing, sound, vfx, color and deliver. Which basically is like having 5-6 individual programs in one.
It’s 10x better than Adobe or any other NLE ans consistently gets better, works amazing w Apple (as opposed to avid or Adobe)
Also, Davinci began primarily as a color correction program and eventually added the additional “tabs” or programs to it.
It’s free for godsakes. And the “pro” version is like $299 for LIFE. I’ve had the same license since 2015 (back when it was just starting to become a good editing program).
Also, when doing professional color grades with a legitimate colorist. An iPad is sometimes preferred for remote sessions which is happening more and more these days.
My colorist who used to work at technicolor is now based in the UK and we do remote grades all the time and it’s amazing.
If you’re looking at this program for the iPad as an editing program you’re missing the point. It’s a coloring program with cutting capabilities (from the inclusion of the cut and color tabs only)
