But this is to aim at tiktok or youtube crap, not professional work. So that shows the poor mentality of BMD, because while resolve is nice and all, and everything is integrated and no subscriptions, it is still nonsense to bring it to iPad, but they will surely push it as if people are going to use it professionally. Well, That’s the problem with BMD, they are so into Apple BS, first thing they did when they acquired Fusion was to port it to Apple, and they have done almost nothing with it, Fusion used to be an amazing program with so much potential, but 3D render engine is not great compared to what you can achieve in Nuke where you can have Vray, while Fusion’s one can’t even have PBR workflow on it. That said, it is completely optional, the extra features that come with the Studio version aren't necessary for basic editing purposes. This isn't cheap, it costs a whopping $94.99. There is a single in-app purchase to unlock DaVinci Resolve Studio. There are no ads or other strings attached to it whatsoever.

The app is a bit chunky, as it requires about 2GB of free space to download and install.Įarly user reviews seem to suggest that the app's touch controls are not responsive enough, I'm assuming they are comparing it to a mouse (click, drag and drop), in which case it will be a tad difficult to use.Īnd now for the best part, DaVinci Resolve for iPad is free to download and use.

But the app's description states that it has been optimized for iPad Pro with M1 and M2 chip, and that while it may work with older models there are some limitations with regard to features, and HD resolution support. This is where it gets a little confusing, based on the requirements it should work on iPad 8th gen (2020) and newer devices. My iPad 2017 has an A10X Fusion chipset, and according to the store listing, DaVinci Resolve requires an iPad with an A12 Bionic processor.

Having used the desktop version on Windows and Mac (for basic editing), I wanted to try it on my iPad, but unfortunately the App Store wouldn't let me download it, saying that the app is not compatible with my device. It also supports the Magic Keyboard, Studio and PRO XDR Displays. If you are not a fan of the touch controls, you may use the Apple Pencil to work on your video editing projects in DaVinci Resolve for iPad.
