Resolved Final Cut Alternative for an iPad Air?

[camelia]

Hello,

What is the best video editor app for an iPad Air, one-time purchase?
Will it run faster or I will need an iPad Pro?

Thanks
Came

Which Air? The currently available Air 5th generation has the same chipset and is just as fast as the current (for now) iPad Pros.

I believe the consensus is LumaFusion is the best video editing app for iOS.

LumaFusion is used by some YouTube content creators who make the point of making the iPad their “main device”.

Lumafusion will run fabulously on a new Air, and is a perfectly competent video editor. You won’t mistake it for FCPX or Premier but it’ll get the job mostly done (and provides FCPX export packages if desired). I started out using it as my iPad is my primary device, but I moved up to FCPX when I bought a Mac Mini M1. It’s actually very intuitive and the touch integrated design makes it a fun editor. I still use it sometimes for very quick jobs.
