When to Expect Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro to Launch on iPad Tomorrow

Hmm. I at subscriptions for Adobe, Cinema 4D, Trapcode Particular, 3DsMax. Unity and many more. Final Cut Pro is the only Pro software I don’t pay monthly. And it shows how little money Apple gets from it. I bought it the day it released and not one dollar since. You think my $300 that long ago is still paying those devs their salary?
The point is that he was able to quickly change his mind, so it’s silly to go back 13 years and act as if a claim he made at that time would still necessarily hold up, even in his own opinion, today. He died only a year and change after the original iPad launch.
The biggest deal breaker for me isn't the subscription it is the lack of external SSD support/and not being able to go back and forth with the Mac and iPad. I don't think too many people using FCP or looking to use FCP on the iPad want to record and be forced to have all recordings import into the iPad photos app especially with capabilities today between drone footage, iPhone, camera, action cams, multi-cams, not being able to just have it all import into an external SSD and start the edit then hop over into the Mac for maybe finishing touches or things that maybe the iPad app cannot do yet makes it already below the competition.
I get the maybe the target audience probably isn't actually the "pros" that majority here are thinking of although I am sure there will be some that make it work, but it seems to me at least inital release is basically only for editing footage from the iPad or iPhone.

I'm really really curious. They would of course try to push iCloud, but yowsers its unreliable. Super curious about using an iPad then picking up the project on a Mac, if that's even possible.
I may sound cynical but this is probably Apple pushing purchases of higher storage iPad air and pro. And the fact that you cannot move to Mac only adds to this. Better get the most expensive M1/M2 iPad you can if you are serious about working with Final Cut...
one good thing is that you can take video by iPad camera (and record audio too), then quickly edit on iPad, color it and upload to Youtube from iPad as well.
While I don't think that quality will be up to desktop standards, with better iPhone and iPad cameras (and USB-C mike inputs) the edited video from iPad may have surprisingly high quality.
I can think of some situations when such quick video/editing from iPad may be beneficiary (like a quick video from a concert, event, etc).
Also I swear that some youtubers will try to edit YT video as soon as FCP iPad is released, and an experienced videographer may produce amazing results on iPad.
As for Logic, I can think of times, when writing a quick track on iPad is handy as well, for example, recording an acoustic guitar by iPad mike. You just later add some drums, may add some piano cords, maybe even some vocals, add some bass and voila the base cut is ready within 10 minutes. On the contrary, I never could master Garageband for iPad but for Logic, i think it may be much easier.

I don't think you are being cynical at all, that very well could be another factor for sure! Apple did the same with the iPhone and recording in ProRaw and the higher storage iPhones requirements for different recording modes. There is no reason the 64GB one cannot record the larger file format sizes just requires more offload work from the user, but nope. If this is a possible reason, as the group of people who want to video edit on an iPad and pay a subscription is so niche that there will probably be some sales of the higher storage iPads for this reason, but of course we will have to see over time what (if any) changes happen with FCP iPad to speculate how it is going
Cause of the touch interface, different tools.
IMO try it free for a month.
We'll see
huh ?
Camera for one, Portabilty, second. You don't "need" the keyboard to use FCP or Logic, and certainly not for the way I'd envisage them being used in the field (everyone opinions differ).
The cheapest 12" ipad pro M1 cost over $500 to produce. Thats excluding R&D, marketing, shipping etc.
What time will the complaints start to flood in? The moment it’s announced. Regardless of what it is
only after Saurik built the FIRST AppStore and proved it was a successful model. Apple stole the idea and tried to lock everyone else out. Gonna change soon though.
And, available, right on time at midnight Tokyo, May 24says the release date is May 24th
iPadのためのLogic Pro
iPadのためのLogic Proは、手軽なのに完全プロ仕様のレコーディングスタジオ。作曲からフィニッシュまで、iPad上で完結させるために必要なすべてがそろっています。www.apple.com
23rd 1:00 PM Tuesday, Eastern Time (ET) is
24th 2:00 AM Wednesday, in Tokyo, Japan
So, not before 11 AM Eastern (8 AM Pacific) unless they decide to roll out in those eastward territories early.
Australia’s Apple page also says the 24th.
lol no.
the concern wasn't whether Apple would make money. you really think steve thought "gee i want third party apps but i'm not sure if it'll be popular so maybe that's not a good idea"? that's hilarious.
he never changed his mind about being against sideloading due to security issues.
largely irrelevant anyways. app store and interfacing with a device are two separate things.
"successful model" implies $$$
even if it wasn't about $$$, replace $ with "popularity" and it's the same point.
Filmor offers both options for their desktop software. Best of both world!

actually Filmora tried to cancel lifetime licenses..
I just tried it. I find the interface very difficult to navigate. The interface is just too busy for an iPad display. You have to switch to portrait to even see the full height of the mixer. Not to mention it crashed 2 times. I cancelled the renewal and will keep using Logic on Mac.
