Blackmagic Design brings popular video-editing app DaVinci Resolve to the iPad, promising support for RAW, cloud collaboration, and more, the company announced on Twitter. This will not be a full version of the app for PC/Mac as it will initially only contain crop and color pages. Although “it will be similar to the desktop version”.
The company said the iPad app will support file formats including H.264, H.265, Apple ProRes and Blackmagic RAW, with clips available from the iPad Pro’s “Photo Library and internal storage or externally connected iCloud or USB-C media drives.” . in Facebook.
Additionally, you’ll be able to open desktop projects on the iPad version, including collaborative projects shared via Blackmagic Cloud, Engadget reports.
Blackmagic noted, “This means that DaVinci Resolve for iPad is the same professional tool and source code used in major Hollywood feature films.”
There are some changes in the user interface due to the screen size, for example the menu bar will be removed. Additionally, there are no plans to include an edit page in the iPad version as it is primarily intended for keyboard and mouse.
“This makes it very difficult to migrate to an iPad without changing it in a way that could cause problems for professional editors who rely on page editing for their work,” the company said.
For that reason, the Trim page will get new features, including “improved audio support, key framing, split adjustments, and more.”
Fusion effects and Fairlight sound tools are also not available “because their code hasn’t been redesigned for the iPad yet.” However, the company plans to work on these pages and include them in a future release.
DaVinci Resolve is a popular app among professional editors, in part due to its powerful color correction tools – which has earned it Engadget’s list of the best editing apps.
Additionally, there is a powerful free version of the app, and the paid version only costs $300 with all future updates for free.
