DaVinci Resolve for iPad DaVinci Resolve for iPad is the world’s only solution that combines editing and color correction in one software tool! Its elegant, modern interface is fast to learn and easy for new users, yet powerful for professionals. DaVinci Resolve lets you work faster and at a higher quality because you don’t have to learn multiple apps or switch software for different tasks. That means you can work with camera original quality images throughout the entire process. It’s like having your own post production studio in a single app! Best of all, by learning DaVinci Resolve, you’re learning how to use the exact same tools used by Hollywood professionals in high end post production studios! Turn work around fast using cut page editing! The cut page is perfect for projects with tight deadlines that you have to turn around quickly. It’s also great for documentary work. The cut page has a streamlined interface that’s fast to learn and designed for speed. Features such as source tape for visual media browsing, fast review, and smart editing tools help you work faster than ever. The sync bin and source overwrite tools are the fastest way to edit multi-cam programs, with easy to create perfectly synchronized cut aways! With DaVinci Resolve you’ll spend more time editing and less time hunting for shots. Hollywood’s favorite color corrector! The DaVinci Resolve for iPad color page is Hollywood’s most advanced color corrector and has been used to color and finish more high end feature films and television shows than any other system! It’s also approachable with features designed to make it easier for new users to get great results while they continue to learn the advanced tools. For example, primary control sliders will be familiar to anyone who’s used image editing software, making it easy to adjust contrast, temperature, mid-tone detail, saturation and more. The color page has an incredible range of primary and secondary color grading features including PowerWindows™, qualifiers, 3D trackers, advanced HDR grading tools and more! Blackmagic Cloud Collaboration DaVinci Resolve for iPad supports the revolutionary Blackmagic Cloud, a whole new way of collaborating using cloud based workflows. Simply create a Blackmagic Cloud ID and set up a project library for your project. You can assign any number of collaborators to a project, using Blackmagic Cloud to share projects. Multiple people can work on the same timeline! When changes are made, you can see and accept them, changes are only applied when you accept updates. A single click can relink files, update timelines, or view changes. Built in timeline compare tools let you merge changes into a master timeline so others can continue with edits. AI Tools for Creativity with Studio In-App-Purchase DaVinci Resolve features cutting edge AI processing powered by the DaVinci AI Neural Engine. Tools such as magic mask need only a single stroke to locate and track people, features and objects in a shot. You can make characters stand out in an under lit shot, or invert the mask and stylize the background. Smart reframe repurposes footage to dramatically different aspect ratios by recognizing the action in a scene and panning within it so you can quickly create square or vertical versions for posting to social media. Voice isolation lets you easily remove loud, undesirable sounds from interviews and dialogue recordings from noisy locations. AI tools create quick, accurate results saving you hours of time! Compatibility Recommended for use with Apple iPad Pro M1 or newer models with a minimum of 8GB of RAM. Earlier iPad models may be restricted to HD, and memory limitations may limit some features. DaVinci Resolve projects (drp) and project archives (dra) are fully compatible with DaVinci Resolve 20 on desktop. Supported file formats include H.264, H.265, Apple ProRes and Blackmagic RAW. Supports the Magic Keyboard, Apple Pencil as well as Studio and PRO XDR Displays.

absolutely great (READ IF IT CRASHES ON STARTUP)

industry standard video editor on an ipad! and to all the people saying it crashes, im on an ipad mini 5, it works fine, what more can you ask for? if it's crashing on startup, delete it and reinstall it. This app is free and has more features than other "pls subscribe and give me money" video editors. Every other editor is permanently out of the question. Davinci Resolve includes amazing editing tools for free, with even more amazing tools with Davinci Resolve Studio, for $95, which is actually a pretty good pricepoint for professional software such as this. I’ve seen softwares that have only one focus, and cost $200, while this is a full-featured, Hollywood professional movie studio quality editor, which of course is more than suited for my needs, simply making memes and editing my videos, and while some people may be immediately turned off by the fact that it simply looks quite complex, keep in mind, almost no professional software (Blender, Affinity Photo, Davinci Resolve, etc.), does not look complex, as it’s possible to fit advanced features without hiding them away in 350 different bundles of menus. Overall, 11/10, absolutely outstanding piece of software. The one and only request I have is the addition of more tabs. (Fusion, fairlight, etc.)

HEIC Photos not working

Ive enjoyed using the app, although it does have a pretty steep learning curve. There are certain things I hope the ipad version gets down the road, like being able to record audio from the fairlight? Tab, but the main issue I’m having right now is that all my HEIC photos are green, and messed up in a project that I've been working on for months. They were fine until recently, and when looking for answers I saw other people saying they are having the same issue on Mac as well, so not just an ipad issue. I have the studio version, but am pretty disappointed that one of the “features” that I paid to be able to use (HEIC photos I think are only in the studio version) isn't working, and with how much work it would take to convert all the photos, and re add them to the project makes this a pretty frustrating bug. I also saw someone mention on the resolve forums that this issue isnt a problem in the beta of V19, but I dont know when the update will be out of beta, let alone when that version might come to ipad. Other than the no audio recording, and this bug, I do think that resolve is the best app to edit videos on Ipad as of now. There are so many things you can do in resolve that no other app can do, just hope they continue to update, and refine the ipad version of resolve since its already great, but has so much potential to be the go to professional video editor on ipad.

Makes your iPad feel like a video editing machine. (Read if frustrated with not all pages)

Good boiiiiiiiiiiiii
I’m not gonna lie there are some very specific workspaces this app can fit. If you have an iPad that slows down with normal tasks like checking the web I definitely would not recommend this app for you. I have and iPad Pro with a Magic Keyboard and that is the only way this app works for me. However if you have something like that you feel would work I would recommend this. Now I will talk about an issue that I had but I resolved through a creative method, you do need some sort of keyboard you can connect to your iPad. I came from DaVinci Resolve for my Mac and was soon frustrated by the lack of pages, that is only the Cut and Color page. However if you press alt or option+command or control+k it will pull up a page that I’m not sure were supposed to be able to access. However, if you scroll all the way down you will find a drop down menu that says show page. From here you can create keyboard shortcuts for each page you want to show.

From a guy never used DaVinci Resolve before and only using Lumafusion

I first heard about this editing software when it came to ipados, never knew that it existed on computer. I heard lot of professional editor like using this software. I never tried any editing software on the computer maybe because it’s performance very bad and cost too much money. So i try it out after 5 years using Lumafusion to editing for my videos. At first it’s very hard to use. can’t pinch in or out the clip line, comlicated zoom and out effects, theres some cool effects that I liked. After tried to learn it and final straw that broke the back is that, audio very buggy when i played the video (on 2021 iPad mini). So I decided to head back to Lumafusion because it’s kinda simple, enough for my video cutting, easy to zoom and out of an video, enough effects. It does all the stuff for me like Color Space based on clip I put in the project so I don’t need to worry about. Maybe i’m just an idiot trying to learn this “professional” app. If it’s the good editing software for you then use it and purchase the Studio mode for it. I just find it very hard to use and it’s sort of anti new user. If you find this review stupid then yea, i’m stupid.
