On the latest episode of The T-Stop Inn podcast, ‘Gimmick or Game Changer? Da Vinci comes to the iPad‘, Newsshooter contributor Ben Allan ACS CSI, and Clara Chong discuss the realities of editing and grading in DaVinci Resolve on the new M2 iPad Pro.
Above you can listen to the full episode which runs for just over 1 hour.
A few days ago Blackmagic Design officially released DaVinci Resolve for iPad. You have to be aware that the app is designed to work with M1 and M2 iPad Pros. While it can be used in former versions, the performance and features could be limiting.
DaVinci Resolve for iPad is optimized for the iPad Pro with M1 and M2 chips. Earlier iPad models with memory limitations have limited functionality available.
Another thing to be aware of is not all features are free. If you try to use a feature that isn’t available in the free version, then you will need to purchase a $94.99 Studio license. This isn’t the same as the desktop version that sells for $295.
