![]() But now-for me anyway-it’s really possible to do it and more importantly to do it efficiently. I’ve tried and failed to do serious video and photo editing work on the iPad before. I came into this test optimistic but with a fair bit of skepticism. I did encounter audio sync issues here occasionally.) Your mileage may vary, but for me, editing with Bluetooth wasn’t a problem. (I also tested connecting the iPad Pro to a pair of HomePods on my desk via AirPlay. I tested editing projects with AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max and ran into zero audio lag issues even when syncing up my audio files with my video timeline. I realize that this alone is a dealbreaker for some, but I’m flexible and was impressed with the results. So, that means you’ll be editing with Bluetooth headphones. ![]() And there’s no apparent way to actually get sound, unless your display accepts and can output audio through either its own speakers or speakers connected to it. When I connected a display through the hub, the iPad wants to push sound through the Thunderbolt connection. Honestly, the only little snag I ran into is with regard to sound. But for those who want to do everything from their iPad Pro-there are dozens of us!-it’s a pretty great experience. Now, is this setup going to work for everyone? Absolutely not. This project package can be saved anywhere you like and then imported back in to LumaFusion.īut with this setup, there are lots of mobile photographers and filmmakers out there who will be able to create great-looking projects-quickly-and all with an iPad Pro. And for backing up your project, you can export it as a LumaFusion Project Package. On the new M2 iPad Pro, stabilization is applied to shorter clips in seconds, and I was able to salvage some pretty clipped audio in just a few minutes with the app’s simple, but effective, equalizer and limiter controls.Īnd once your project is done, you can either export your video to the iPad, to an external drive, or as an XML file that you can then import into Final Cut Pro if you need a bit more elbow room. I’m particularly impressed by the stabilization and audio dashboards. Plus, if you’re a LUT user, you can import your favorite LUTs and apply them with a click/tap and then make a wealth of adjustments from there.Īnd all the other types of tweaks that you’d expect from a fully-featured NLE are here as well: keyframes, frame and fit, speed, stabilization, and audio dashboards. Resolve users won’t be impressed, but it gets the job done for simple grading tasks. I was surprised at how capable LumaFusion is at grading SLOG files. I tested editing 4K video projects with multiple cameras, uncompressed audio files, and some light S-LOG color grading, and the combination of LumaFusion, the OWC Thunderbolt Hub, and my Thunderbolt and USB-C drives just blazed through every project I threw at them. From there, you simply drag your footage or segments of that footage to the timeline quadrant and edit. Once you’ve linked your folders, LumaFusion let’s you see all sub-folders and quickly preview their contents. That means that if you point the app at the root of a drive, it you’ll be able to connect that drive to your hub and immediately access footage from it. The app allows you to point at multiple drives/folders and it remembers each one you link. (I started the process with an 12.9” M1 model, but when the M2 model was released, I decided to upgrade and have been using that model for the last couple of weeks.) My day-to-day workflow includes the regular stuff-email, web browsing, Teams chats-alongside medium-to-advanced tasks like designing in Canva, and editing a lot of photos and video projects.įrom here, you’ll click “Add Link to Folder.” Now just tell LumaFusion which folder you want it to pull footage from. I have once again sworn off my MacBook and for the last month have been using the iPad Pro as my only computer. With all of this in mind, I decided to take the plunge. In fact, Apple’s tablet platform has matured just enough that I think it’s possible for more people than ever before to use the iPad as your only computer.Īnd when you throw in the fact that the top of the iPad lineup-like the M2 iPad Pro I’m typing this from-contains a chip present not only in the company’s MacBook Air, but also MacBook Pro laptops- there’s really no reason you shouldn’t be able to get a lot done with the iPad Pro. But I personally think they’re onto something here. Yes, the much-hyped Stage Manager feature is here and yes Apple has publicly struggled in making it a reality throughout the beta process. But with iPadOS 16 and the latest iPad Pro models, things feel different.
