Blackmagic Design has released DaVinci Resolve for Apple Silicon iPad

It is available in the app store, and has a cut and color page.

It is free to use, but certain plugins require the Studio Version which costs $99.00.

DaVinci Resolve for iPad is optimized for the iPad Pro with M1 and M2 chips. Earlier and iPad models with memory limitations have limited functionality available.

DaVinci Resolve for iPad

DaVinci Resolve for iPad is the world’s only solution that combines editing and color correction in one software tool! Its elegant, modern interface is fast to learn and easy for new users, yet powerful for professionals. DaVinci Resolve lets you work faster and at a higher quality because you don’t have to learn multiple apps or switch software for different tasks. That means you can work with camera original quality images throughout the entire process. It’s like having your own post production studio in a single app! Best of all, by learning DaVinci Resolve, you’re learning how to use the exact same tools used by Hollywood professionals in high end post production studios!

Turn work around fast using cut page editing!

The cut page is perfect for projects with tight deadlines that you have to turn around quickly. It’s also great for documentary work. The cut page has a streamlined interface that’s fast to learn and designed for speed. Features such as source tape for visual media browsing, fast review, and smart editing tools help you work faster than ever. The sync bin and source overwrite tools are the fastest way to edit multi-cam programs, with easy to create perfectly synchronized cut aways! With DaVinci Resolve you’ll spend more time editing and less time hunting for shots.

Hollywood’s favorite color corrector!

The DaVinci Resolve for iPad color page is Hollywood’s most advanced color corrector and has been used to color and finish more high end feature films and television shows than any other system! It’s also approachable with features designed to make it easier for new users to get great results while they continue to learn the advanced tools. For example, primary control sliders will be familiar to anyone who’s used image editing software, making it easy to adjust contrast, temperature, mid-tone detail, saturation and more. The color page has an incredible range of primary and secondary color grading features including PowerWindows™, qualifiers, 3D trackers, advanced HDR grading tools and more!

Blackmagic Cloud Collaboration

DaVinci Resolve for iPad supports the revolutionary Blackmagic Cloud, a whole new way of collaborating using cloud based workflows. Simply create a Blackmagic Cloud ID to log into the DaVinci Resolve Project Server and set up a project library for your project. You can assign any number of collaborators to a project, using Blackmagic Cloud to share projects. Multiple people can work on the same timeline! When changes are made, you can see and accept them in the viewer, changes are only applied when you accept updates. A single click can relink files, update timelines, or view changes. Built in timeline compare tools let you merge changes into a master timeline so others can continue with edits.

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!

Wired on How to Make Autocorrect Work The Way You Want

Auto Correct drives me nuts and I have it turned off, so this article has how to do just that on Android or iOS.

I do wish their was a way to get into the dictionary and change things on iOS so you could stop some words from showing up, but apple doesn’t even let you control sync on bookmarks (why can’t I have an overwrite cloud setting, and if you can’t not mess up my bookmarks why would I want to sync my music collection?).

9to5Mac on Best Extensions for Safari for Mac, iPhone and iPad in 2022

From Arin Waichulis at 9to5 Mac, this is worth a read.

I had never heard of StopTheMadness, which is not cheap (as you have to buy Mac and Mobile versions at $7.99 each) and the Mac version also works on Firefox and Chrome as well. It overrides websites attempts to lock out browser features, which is something I have been thinking about for a long time. It can also remove tracking tags, and URL shorteners.

Fstoppers reporting that YouTube may start charging users to watch videos in 4K

From Alex Cooke at FStoppers.

Already I have been annoyed by YouTube, a recent update on Apple TV, has my TV showing a lost connection at every commercial break, which means huge delays on every commercial break. I have seen speculation that it might be the addition of HDR to the Apple TV app, which means that the commercials are different than the stream, and causing the lost connection and pause at every commercial break.

And as they add more commercials in every video it gets more annoying. And now it looks like they are moving 4K to the paid tier as well.

I can honestly say that it just doesn’t reach the $12 a month that is costs for YouTube premium, but it might mean I watch less YouTube videos.

Blackmagic Design has officially announced DaVinci Resolve for the iPad

The color Page looks just like it’s desktop counterpart

After being briefly shown in Apple’s introduction video fro the new iPad Pro, Blackmagic Design has officially announced DaVinci Resolve for the iPad.

For now it will only have 2 tabs, the color tab shown above, and the cut tab.

The Cut Page also looks much like it’s desktop version

Here;s hoping that the cut page will work with the DaVinci Speed Editor, which is Bluetooth, so that would only make sense.

They have also said there will be a free version and a paid Studio Version from the iTunes Store.

With the M2 Chip in the new ipad pro this should work, though the limited ram might be a bit of an issue, as will storage, so hopefully it will work well with external hard drives.

This will be released in quarter 4 of 2022!

How can Blackmagic Design manage this, when Apple hasn’t manged a version of Final Cut Pro for the iPad.

MacWorld on the A16 of the iPhone 14 Pro is really an A15+

Jason Cross at Macworld has a really interesting article on the new A16 for the iPhone 14 Pro.

It seems it isn’t even really a 4 nanometer process, but an enhanced 5 Nanometer Process, just running faster with faster memory, but with none of what was expected for the A16.

And if the true A16 is delayed, it also might explain why the M2 for the MacPro is delayed and why Apple might not hit the 2 year mark on the Mac Pro moving to Apple Silicon.

9to5Mac on M2 Extreme chip in upcoming Mac Pro could get a 48-core CPU, 160-core GPU and 384GB of RAM

From Ben Lovejoy at 9to5Mac, these rumors could make for a pretty powerful mac, but so expensive I am assuming.

Of course this is just a rumor, but it is likely though higher than the previous rumored 40 core, and 128 core gpu.

And that M2 Extreme could cost many thousands more, and 384 gigs of RAM, I am betting we are talking $7500 more than whatever the machine costs.
