Apple announced that iPad users will soon be able to use Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro. Video and music editing apps will include iPad-specific features aimed at enhancing the performance of each software. For example, Final Cut Pro is introducing a new jog wheel element that it claims will make editing “easier than ever,” allowing users to locate the magnetic timeline, move clips, Can move and perform edits with finger and multi-touch gestures. Both audio and video editing software will be available from May 23.
In an official statement, Apple confirmed that Final Cut Pro will run on all iPad devices powered by the M1 or M2 chipset, and Logic Pro will be supported on all iPads powered by the A12 Bionic or later chipset. The company confirmed that both software will be available on a monthly or annual subscription with a one-month free trial. In India, the monthly subscription costs Rs. Each software is offered at a package of Rs 499 and annual subscription is Rs. ₹4,999 each.
With Final Cut Pro for iPad, a new feature called Live Drawing will allow users to instantly draw and write on top of video footage being edited using the Apple Pencil. The iPad Pro with the M2 processor will enable users to use the Apple Pencil’s hover feature to skim and preview videos without touching the screen.
Logic Pro for iPad, on the other hand, includes similar touch-friendly options, such as the ability to use multi-touch gestures to operate software tools and navigate its controllers. It also includes a new sound library that uses “dynamic filtering” to help users discover a variety of sounds, including options for instrument patches, audio patches, plug-in presets, samples, and loops. .
Apple is also including Beat Breaker for Logic Pro, a time- and pitch-morphing plug-in that allows users to swipe and pinch to “reshape and shuffle sounds.” The program also supports Apple Pencil, enabling users to “craft detailed track automation”.
To use keyboard commands, Apple recommends connecting apps to a Magic Keyboard or Smart Keyboard Folio. Users will be able to transfer Logic Pro projects between Mac and iPad, as well as export audio tracks to Final Cut Pro for iPad. The company said users will be allowed to access projects created in GarageBand on iOS along with Logic Pro on iPad.
