Not to cause offense to my friends who do have an iPad-focussed setup (shout-out to them), but given how long it’s taken us to get to this point, the debate about whether a tablet can replace your laptop is sort of dead and buried.

With optimized performance for Apple Silicon, DaVinci Resolve delivers 4x faster Ultra HD ProRes render performance on the new iPad Pro with M2. So why is the response so muted? Simply put, it’s taken over a decade to get to this point and the debate was settled a long time ago.īecause sure, the usefulness of tablets just increased quite a bit with the introduction of DaVinci Resolve (and if someone in Apple could build Final Cut pro for iPad, that would be swell), but a laptop continues to be the default choice for getting stuff done. DaVinci Resolve for iPad will be available in Q4 2022 from the Apple App Store as a free download, with an upgrade to DaVinci Resolve Studio for iPad also available as an in-app purchase. We’ve been building to this moment for a long, long time - the moment where we start to see proper laptop-class software appear on a tablet. This starts with Apple Pencil and multi-touch trackpad support, which extends to all the familiar keyboard shortcuts on Apple’s Magic Keyboard.Īnd it peaks with the DaVinci Neural Engine - AI processing tools that help make advanced, complicated edits a lot simpler, such as smart reframing videos for different aspect ratios, isolating people’s voices, and even isolate subjects in shot and make them stand out with a little under lighting.

In fact, BlackMagic Design has gone a little further in adding not only some really helpful tools, but easier ways to navigate the app.
