I think they did cancel in a way, though. One can’t pay one time and get updates for life on the Mac (like one can with FCPX).
Got a tip for us?

I tried it out on my iPad air 4, with some old projects and it seemed kinda sluggish.
I’m more interested in the beat making tools, just doing the free month for right now.
I’m going to. Upgrade to the M1 Pro iPad for FCP, these tools won’t be for everyone.
well actually I pointed out popularity in the second part in my first post. this covers both implications of what it means to be a successful model. did you have an obscure definition of what it means to be a successful model that I did not know about?
if so, sounds like i just wasted my time talking to you. have a good one.
Personally, I think the iPad is great for simple apps. For music, apps like Figure (by Reason Studios), or Note (by Ableton). They’re very limited, but that makes them fun to use.
For me, that fun factor is missing with Logic Pro for iPad. The app is a bit sluggish, not that intuitive and the screen is just too small for any serious uses.
It feels more like GarageBand Pro than Logic Pro to me.
Thank you for proving the ipad is not a mac replacement, this is exactly what I have been trying to explain, the ipad costs as much as a macbook air/pro, once you add the pencil, the keyboard, the ipad starts to look like a macbook, but it does not behave like a macbook...
IpadOS is not MacOS, I wonder would fcp/logic on the ipad be better for running MacOS on the ipad, after all at 12.5 inch screen size, with 16GB RAM and 2TB hard drive, it is 2 times the macbook air from 2020, the base model I have, the ipad is missing certain gpu features maybe, but really the screen is not all that much smaller than the macbook air..
I have thought, if the larger ipad is the same screen size, and once you add the keyboard, it is really a macbook, why is it not running the same OS? Or on the 1TB/2TB ipads, include 1x 64GB "OS" module that dual boots Mac OS and IPAD OS?? Stupid thoughts I know...
The ipad mini, small compact touchscreen device that is a bit bigger than a phone, and not a laptop replacement makes sense, the ipad mini 2, perfect size, for calendar updates, watching youtubes on the train, for writing emails, light video editing, audio editing, web browsing.... If Apple included the SD card slot, or USB slot, then wow, it would be useful..
I am trying so very had to understand the point of the ipad in 2023, without the SD card, without a 2nd USB C port, without reliable editing to/from/on an external SSD... fcp on ipad makes no sense... Even worse, in the decade since I bought my ipad mini 2, which I still use... Apple has developed or licenced any sort of external SSD for the video/audio editing market.. Which would buy Apple SSD by the pallet...But no....
Anyway I did expect Apple to launch a non functional app, and that is what they did with FCP10.0.0, a total pile of a dog's digestive system no longer required by the dog... FCP for the Ipad is just part 2 of the same disaster...
I get what you’re saying, I have just about all of the music apps for the iPad and some of them are a lot of fun! Logic on the Mac is pretty deep though, so it may take a bit more work to get everything out of it. I’m no longer a professional so I’m just having fun anyway so it doesn’t matter how long it takes for me to get used to it I am glad it’s out though. Looking forward to trying logic and final cut out on an M1. Have fun.!
Even though I said I wouldn't do it, I will pay (probably) the $49/Final Cut for three reasons.
1. I need to ween my dependence on Adobe in case they quit allowing my $15.99/yearly renewal.
2. My m1 iPad Pro was just collecting dust as without "pro" apps, I preferred to tote my mini.
3. Justine made it look fun.
