Octane X 3D render App released on iPad.
It’s getting there!
Come on Apple, Steinberg, Ableton, Bitwig, Image-Line, Reason Studios, Presonus, Cockos,…..Avid,…
Someone has to start!
2023 is looking bright at least for video people
WWDC'23 is ~6 months away...
Avid/PT (my favorite DAW interface actually) would be cool..and they have a hardware business that could help it make business sense.. though I wonder if the iOS/iPadOS restrictions on plug-in models would permanently prevent this.
Ahhh
That’s actually a good point! Auv3 only is probably not too inviting for other DAWs than Logic/GarageBand.
I just saw on Google that Reaper, Studio One and Ableton also support AU on desktop. If that’s correct they might be potential candidates.
I’ll get my hopes up again 😄 and the year after and the year after again…… one day once people move away from desktop computers Apple might join the party. Wherever the 💸 is I guess. Their hesitation with pro apps just feels very suspicious.
It is awesome, but what seems a bit wired to me is why whey would hide these pages?
Ohhh I really hope that this will inspire an ios version of Reaper.
I have stoped hoping for Logic.
just not ready yet (bugs and so on) they do plan to finish them and make them official
Uh yes. It chrashed for me 7 times in two hours.
I need to jup to luma fusion to do what i gotta do… but as Arnold says: i’ll be back!
this is a great development. But to really take advantage of DaVinci Resolve, it should be the latest top iPad Pro model, a keyboard or other controller for shortcuts, a USB hub for external SSD's, and possibly the Blackmagic Design Speed Editor, a mid-size video controller with an excellent jog/shuttle wheel. All of these things do not always have to be attached at the same time, one can work with the iPad Pro only, but they should be available when needed. It is so much easier to cut a project in record time using the Speed Editor, for example. It connects via Bluetooth, designed to work with laptops with few free USB sockets.
And work goes so fast when using the original SSD's instead of transferring the data, especially when using RAW formats. The modern workflow does not transfer data anymore: you record from the camera to the SSD, take this same SSD to the computer, and edit directly from it.
I have a used iPad Pro 2017, on which this app does not run, but is more than sufficient for my music productions. If I would get one of those new iPad Pro's, it would be mainly because of DaVinci Resolve. And then, for a little bit more money, you get a decent laptop, with larger screen and more power. But much larger and heavier, not something you carry around all the time.
The best option is if you already have a recent iPad Pro. Then the choice is easy.
I recently bought my first camera-drone (Dji Mini 4 Pro) and thinking it's fuckin' fun and great hobby if you're interested in photography or record movies.
As drones never record sounds (depending on propeller noises) it's pretty fun to do the different sound to movies with all fantastic music creation apps we got nowadays!
My question is, why do people subscribe to Final Cut Pro on iPad when Davinci Resolve for iPad is free!?
Bought Lumafusion years ago, but, I thinks it lacks too many features to use in my demands...
When even the desktop versions for Mac/Win/Linux is free it must be my choice of editor, and, really easy to jump from iPad to Mac freely when an project is made...
The ground question is - how come that the BlackMagic company make such an advanced video editor app for free (Davinci Resolve)?
What's the catch?
I don't think there is a catch, but there is a fairly expensive IAP too to unlock more features in DaVinci Resolve for iPad. The free version is already incredible generous mind you.
What is Lumafusion missing for you though? I have the paid version of DaVinci Resolve, but I personally use Lumafusion wherever possible, as the UI is just soooo much better on a smaller screen like an iPad. Overall, Luma is a better designed app, easier to navigate, easier on the eyes, far more intuitive, even if Resolve is more powerful.
Thanks - perhaps I should revisit Lumafusion on iPad again…
Can it edit 4k 10-bits D-Log movies?
I’ll have to check again if features missing back in time is there now in Lumafusion…
Have you tested flying any drone?
Incredible powerful and advanced these days!
@HolyMoses
Are drones hard to control? Have you ever used one of those drones that will follow you?
I love both photography and kayaking as hobbies, I want to get a drone to film our kayaking adventures. Any information you could share would be appreciated!
I love Davinci on desktop, but the iOS version crashed on a regular basis for me, plus having to unhide the hidden pages every time was a pain since I don't use an external keyboard, so I finally gave up on it after a few weeks. That was about a year ago, so maybe they've worked out some of the kinks?
Sorry, double post.
You should probably ask on the Lumafusion Reddit, or check the manual to be sure, but I think it does handle d-log. Haven’t used any drones, would love to, they must be fun, get some great footage too!
The one I bought (Dji Mini Pro 4) is the most advanced and versatile drone you can buy and flight with, without ”driving license” (because it’s total weight is under 250g.)…
But, this 249g. drone has a speed up to 65km/h, can fly up to height 120m. above ground (500m. outside EU), it goes 4-11 km away on fully charged battery, shoots up to 48MPx pictures and record movies up to 4K 30/60 10 bits D-Log M - it has automatic “drive home” if the battery is low or the drone loosing contact with the remote controller (connection up to 20km.)…
The amount of different shooting modes and automatic modes (follow etc) is insane and breathtaking!
Take a look at this video that show it in action - there’s hundreds of them on ‘Youtube, many fantastic done…

@HolyMoses
Thanks for posting that! I'm going to check it out.
Curious, you wrote here that you've got the Studio upgrade to Davinci Resolve, but, is it to desktop or to your iPad?
I was a little disappointed when I discovered that the desktop free version had seven (7) workings environments (the buttons on the down row), and, iPad just got two (2) of them (although the iPad version is freakin' powerful)...
But, today I ran over an tutorial on the iPad version of Davinci Resolve, and, saw that this guy had all seven working environments on the UI??
First I thought it might be something that goes unlock when paying for the Studio upgrade on iPad (99 bucks) - and, no, it wasn't...
Probably very old news for you mr Gav, but it was easier then I thought to unlock the iPad UI (and features) to comply to my Mac version of Davinci.
If you or someone else is interested - just connect a keyboard to the iPad, press Option+Command+K for opening shortcut settings, and then just look for the ´Show Page´option - there you make your own key command to activate all functionalities (the 7 different environments) - fantastic!!
I don’t use desktop at all any more, so I as referring to the IAP for Davince Resolve for iPad. And yes, I know about those keyboard shortcuts, crazy!
Ok…
What was it in the Studio upgrade that was important to you?
I wanted mainly the ability to edit using subtitles. In the end, I found this feature less useful than I hoped. I would like to be able to quickly edit the video by simply cutting out the subtitles for the audio I don't want from a wall of text and then the video would be automatically trimmed. That would be a huge time saver for me. Currently though, the way you have to do it is by dragging text you want to keep to the time line, and this creates a clip. This is a very time consuming way of working compared to how it would be if my vision above was implemented. I also haven't ended up using it much as I hate the UI, everything is very small, even on the largest iPad. This is an app that really needs a monitor, a big one, to use enjoyably, in my view. There's also such a huge learning curve with this app. I kept struggling to remember how to do things as I wasn't using it regularly enough. I do intend to get round to learning it properly, but for now, for most cases, it's been much more pleasant for me to stick to Lumafusion and I've only used Resolve a handful of times. Thing is for me that all my Gavinski's Tutorials YT stuff is screen recordings with minimal editing needed. I might use it more for my walking videos channel where I need to edit actual real world footage, let's see! I think anything that can be done on Lumafusion should be done there. It's really a fantastically designed, intuitive touchscreen-native app.
Have you checked out Descript? It's a video editor that translates your speech into text and then let's you cut your videos by editing the text. It's build around that functionality.
Yes but it is far too expensive, in my opinion. Definitely aimed at creators who make a lot more than I do. Thnx tho!
Yeah it's pricy compared to appstore apps. Maybe I don't even notice that anymore after being in that business software bubble and the prices most webapps are charging for convenience and saving you a bit of time.
Most people would need another more commercial channel to subsidize a passion project channel or run a freelance video editing gig where time translates more directly into money.
I think the biggest problem in the iOS music app space is the overall demand and search traffic. Usually the more competetive a niche is the better because this means that you can win over viewers from other channels. But in the music app space you're already among the larger channels Gavinsky.
You'd somehow need to add another "hook" into an adjacent niche like desktop or hardware and win people over from there. That's why most music influencers are often tapped into multiple platforms.
Yes, definitely. More sponsored vids from devs and more donations and patreon support are what me and other YouTubers in this space need tbh. People have to understand that YouTube economics just doesn't work in this niche as it's too small.
A higher demand and more people interested wouldn't change the % of people clicking through Patreon, but the overall amount of people who do because of the larger audience.
Then another important point is the "bruise" vs. "broken bone" aspect when it comes to user action. Apps that just add another option into the toolbox are basically like bruises which don't require immediate action and people who don't know about them probably won't search for them. But a production workflow that's interrupted by some kind of compatibility issue or where an iPad could fit into the workflow as a hardware alternative are more like a broken bones and just have a different drive when it comes to immediate action.
I think that's totally missing in the iOS space, the only videos I know of are the Jakob haq videos about USB dongles. There's not even one video about Siderack by Novo and only a few about the iConnectivity stuff. Imo the overall workflow and compatibility stuff is how to get people who aren't yet interested interested in iOS for music.
If I'd make a channel I'd focus on workflows for different genres of music and how the iPad can fit into that. Figuring all this out on your own like I'm doing as a part of the hobby is a huge headache I can tell you, and I only focus on the genres that are interesting to me.
I agree to some extent. If you look at the Youtube channels with a lot of subscribers, they mainly came from those kind of vids. But...and it's a massive 'but'... Those channels also have terrible viewing figures for their size. Look at the viewing figures those channels get for the vast majority of their recent vids. No better than mine in most cases, sometimes worse. Even if they have 100k subs. Subscriber numbers mean very little. So unless people are constantly churning out those kind of vids (and that stuff is not actually very interesting to me on a personal level), having a few vids like that that bring tons of subscribers will actually make very little difference to what they earn from YouTube. If the people who enter iOS via those kinds of videos become app collectors, they will discover a channel like mine soon enough anyway. It they don't, they're not going to be watching many vids on iOS apps and they certainly won't be engaged enough to bother subbing to an iOS-focused creator's Patreon.
