Any One Else get locked out of their Apple Accounts yesterday or today?

Was watching a movie on my apple tv yesterday, when I git kicked out of my Apple account, on all of my devices. My Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, and it fought me on entering my correct passwords, then said my account was locked, and I had to change my password, then re-enter it on each device (ever try and enter a long password on an Apple Watch? My account is an old .Mac account, but my password is only 6 months old.

I was glad to see I am not the only one having this issue, check out Macrumors, Forbes, Gizchina, and Engadget,

Scott Simmons at PVC Reviews Final Cut Pro on the iPad

I still am not a big fan of Final Cut Pro, though I am an expert on it, so I doubt I will even try it out on the iPad, but some of the omissions do seem curious, like having limited color correction when DaVinci has full color (though missing the edit page, so you really can’t talk about DaVinci).

Still the fact that the already wonky Project naming schemes seems different here is literally insane. Just follow fucking industry standards already!

And no second storylines also seems pretty huge.

9to5Mac on LumaFusion adding a full multicam editor to LumaFusion for iPhone and iPad

From Fernando Silva at 9to5Mac.

LumaFusion is really the first normal video editing program on the iPad that works like AVID and Premiere Pro (Not Final Cut Pro) and it just keeps getting better and more powerful.

I have edited on it and it was well worth using, though of course I love keyboard editing the most, so the iPad will always be a second class editor.

Apple brings it’s Pro Apps Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro to the iPad, but makes it subscription

Apple will soon be releasing touch based Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for high end iPads, but as subscriptions at $4.99 a month or $49 a year.

Logic will work on any iPad with an A12 Bionic or later and Final Cut will only work 5th or 6th gen 12.9 inch iPad Pro, 3rd or 4th gen 11 in iPad Pro or 5th generation iPad Air.

I love that Apple is finally treating the iPad as pro as other companies, but I hate that it is subscription. I would rather pay $99 for a lifetime than have a monthly fee.

The month free is great, but if I had the program I might use it, but paying monthly for it, unless i am making a living off of it. And sure it is cheap monthly, but I just don’t see any subscription that I am not making a living off of.

Al Tools for Creativity

Davinci Resolve features cutting edge Al processing powered by the DaVinci 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 person 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. Al tools create quick, accurate results saving you hours of time!

Compatibility

Recommended for use with Apple iPad Pro M1 or newer models. Earlier iPad models may be restricted to HD, and memory limitations may limit some features. DaVinci Resolve projects (dr) and project archives (dra) are fully compatible with DaVinci Resolve 18 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.

I can’t wait to give this a try!

iPad OS 15.6 fixed an issue with Mail I have been having, if only it fixed safari as well

I have been having an issue with Mail on my iPad Pro of late. For some reason the mail app was having issues loading. I would open it and it would be empty and blank, and take up to a minute to load if it loaded without crashing. This also meant I was unable to send e-mail from other apps unless, I first got Mail itself to load. And this only started recently.

I had tried turning off all my mail except my Apple mail account, and even tried resetting network settings, but mail was not working correctly for the last couple of weeks, and it was driving me nuts. I was about to backup and wipe the ipad, but was waiting for the update to see if it fixed it.

Yesterday apple released iPad OS 15.6 and after updating the Mail issue has been solved, if only that was the only issue that recently cropped up on my iPad.

At the same time as the mail issue, Safari has started losing logins for web sites. Sites that for years have stayed logged in, must be logged in every time that I got to the site. So every time I use bing or google I need to log in again. Super frustrating, and unfortunately not fixed by 15.6.
