absolutely great (READ IF IT CRASHES ON STARTUP)

industry standard video editor on an ipad! and to all the people saying it crashes, im on an ipad mini 5, it works fine, what more can you ask for? if it's crashing on startup, delete it and reinstall it. This app is free and has more features than other "pls subscribe and give me money" video editors. Every other editor is permanently out of the question. Davinci Resolve includes amazing editing tools for free, with even more amazing tools with Davinci Resolve Studio, for $95, which is actually a pretty good pricepoint for professional software such as this. I’ve seen softwares that have only one focus, and cost $200, while this is a full-featured, Hollywood professional movie studio quality editor, which of course is more than suited for my needs, simply making memes and editing my videos, and while some people may be immediately turned off by the fact that it simply looks quite complex, keep in mind, almost no professional software (Blender, Affinity Photo, Davinci Resolve, etc.), does not look complex, as it’s possible to fit advanced features without hiding them away in 350 different bundles of menus. Overall, 11/10, absolutely outstanding piece of software. The one and only request I have is the addition of more tabs. (Fusion, fairlight, etc.)

HEIC Photos not working

Ive enjoyed using the app, although it does have a pretty steep learning curve. There are certain things I hope the ipad version gets down the road, like being able to record audio from the fairlight? Tab, but the main issue I’m having right now is that all my HEIC photos are green, and messed up in a project that I've been working on for months. They were fine until recently, and when looking for answers I saw other people saying they are having the same issue on Mac as well, so not just an ipad issue. I have the studio version, but am pretty disappointed that one of the “features” that I paid to be able to use (HEIC photos I think are only in the studio version) isn't working, and with how much work it would take to convert all the photos, and re add them to the project makes this a pretty frustrating bug. I also saw someone mention on the resolve forums that this issue isnt a problem in the beta of V19, but I dont know when the update will be out of beta, let alone when that version might come to ipad. Other than the no audio recording, and this bug, I do think that resolve is the best app to edit videos on Ipad as of now. There are so many things you can do in resolve that no other app can do, just hope they continue to update, and refine the ipad version of resolve since its already great, but has so much potential to be the go to professional video editor on ipad.

Perfect video editor for iPad Pro

I have spent years practicing video editing on a wide variety of platforms. As an Apple user, my go to app has been Final Cut Pro. The first time I used DaVinci Resolve was on the iPad. Now that I am taking classes on DaVinci Resolve I am amazed to see just how useful this app is if u are looking for the best video editing app on iPad. Compared to Lumafusion and iMovie, (both of which I have used on the iPad) this app is a the perfect professional video editing and color correction app you can use for every kind of video editing requirement. Even if you don’t have any experience with DaVinci Resolve when you start using this app, the same situation I was in when I downloaded this app, you can easily start importing and editing footage in the app and learn as you go along. If you are interested in using all of the editing pages Mac users rely on, this can be achieved by simply evoking the keyboard shortcuts list and assigning keyboard shortcuts to the other pages in the app. This will enable you to enjoy the full DaVinci Resolve editing experience from the beginning of a project, through the delivery stage.

Makes your iPad feel like a video editing machine. (Read if frustrated with not all pages)

I’m not gonna lie there are some very specific workspaces this app can fit. If you have an iPad that slows down with normal tasks like checking the web I definitely would not recommend this app for you. I have and iPad Pro with a Magic Keyboard and that is the only way this app works for me. However if you have something like that you feel would work I would recommend this. Now I will talk about an issue that I had but I resolved through a creative method, you do need some sort of keyboard you can connect to your iPad. I came from DaVinci Resolve for my Mac and was soon frustrated by the lack of pages, that is only the Cut and Color page. However if you press alt or option+command or control+k it will pull up a page that I’m not sure were supposed to be able to access. However, if you scroll all the way down you will find a drop down menu that says show page. From here you can create keyboard shortcuts for each page you want to show.

From a guy never used DaVinci Resolve before and only using Lumafusion

I first heard about this editing software when it came to ipados, never knew that it existed on computer. I heard lot of professional editor like using this software. I never tried any editing software on the computer maybe because it’s performance very bad and cost too much money. So i try it out after 5 years using Lumafusion to editing for my videos. At first it’s very hard to use. can’t pinch in or out the clip line, comlicated zoom and out effects, theres some cool effects that I liked. After tried to learn it and final straw that broke the back is that, audio very buggy when i played the video (on 2021 iPad mini). So I decided to head back to Lumafusion because it’s kinda simple, enough for my video cutting, easy to zoom and out of an video, enough effects. It does all the stuff for me like Color Space based on clip I put in the project so I don’t need to worry about. Maybe i’m just an idiot trying to learn this “professional” app. If it’s the good editing software for you then use it and purchase the Studio mode for it. I just find it very hard to use and it’s sort of anti new user. If you find this review stupid then yea, i’m stupid.

Valiant attempt but key pieces missing

This attempt to bring DaVinci to the iPad is amazingly well done. It is possible to construct and color grade a video timeline almost as good as you would on the full version. Almost but not quite. There are some shortcomings to the functionality especially in the audio features. Annoyingly there’s no easy way to fade in and fade out an audio track - - the little white handle that you can drag in the edit module of the full version is non existent on the iPad. For that matter, the edit module is not there at all, neither is the Fairlight module. Paying the $ 99 upgrade to the iPad studio version doesn’t open up these features either, although it opens up many additional transitions and fusion features. Don’t get me wrong, I have created several pro looking videos on my iPad with this app and I am amazed that it actually brings a fairly good version of DaVinci to a mobile device, it’s just missing some audio control features, which I am hoping will be added in future updates.

Desktop style video editing On-The-Go!

I have been using DaVinci Resolve on PC for years. It’s always been an intuitive yet powerful video editing tool, able to be as simple or advanced as the user would like. When I heard it was coming to iPad, I was skeptical. I have the iPad Air 5 and wasn’t convinced it would operate effectively. However, upon downloading and working with it, I realized how badly I judged the shift to mobile. The videos I edited were only around 5 minutes at most, however it seems the application delivers quality results regardless of the needs. It’s definitely worth the free download for anyone who would like to get into amateur video editing on entry-level devices. Fantastic job.

Exciting Potential Amidst Current Challenges

I’m a big fan of the app and its robust editing capabilities, but I’ve encountered some frustrating hurdles. For instance, despite having the latest iPad Pro with an M2 processor and ample storage space, I struggle with handling large files like those in ProRes format. Attempting to work with a 45GB file in my project often leads to crashes whenever I try to open or navigate through it in the timeline preview. Additionally, while Davinci Resolve offers a plethora of editing tools, the UI presents some challenges. Certain tabs, like the mixer tab in Fairlight, don’t fully open into view, and there’s no option to adjust their size. I also wish there was an option to enlarge the scopes window for better visibility during editing. Moreover, the subject tracking feature could use some refinement as it fails to save key frames for refining the automatic point and cloud tracking. It would be fantastic to see face tracking capabilities utilizing machine learning, similar to what’s offered in Final Cut Pro. Lastly, it would streamline my workflow if I could import media directly from my FTP file sharing server within the app.

Enhancing Global Usability: Arabic Subtitle Auto-Detection Feature Request

Dear DaVinci Resolve Development Team, I trust this message reaches you well. I am immensely grateful for your ceaseless endeavors in evolving DaVinci Resolve into a premier choice for video editing professionals, myself included. The software has significantly streamlined our video editing and production processes. Nonetheless, I’ve identified a potential enhancement: the inclusion of an Arabic subtitle auto-detection feature. This function is pivotal in catering to a global audience, especially amidst the growing necessity for multi-lingual content creation. Intriguingly, smaller-scale applications already embody this feature, highlighting its feasibility and importance. Incorporating this feature could broaden DaVinci Resolve’s user base and reinforce its standing as a comprehensive, user-centric software. I am hopeful that an Arabic subtitle auto-detection feature could be a valuable addition, fulfilling the diverse needs of the DaVinci Resolve community. I eagerly await any updates regarding this feature request and extend my gratitude for your consideration and continuous innovation. Warmest regards, Dr Ahmed Nazar

DaVinci Resolve Crash

I’ve used DaVinci Resolve since I found out it came out on the iPad. It works great for the most part, but there are some things that do need to be addressed. 1, whenever I start adding multiple video layers, it starts to slow down. It takes time for the layers to load, which doesn’t really help when I’m trying to work and get things done. 2, when scrubbing through my timeline while having multiple layers, the app will freeze when it gets to a part that has multiple layers. 3, there is a horrible lag whenever I try to add transitions. 4, when I add pictures or small videos to my timeline, the app will crash. Now, I don’t do many heavy things on this app. I use it to mainly for putting pictures together. I have an M1 iPad Pro so I know that these issues aren’t caused by hardware. I really do love using DaVinci Resolve. I just hope that these problems get fixed because I do not want to have to switch to another video editing software.

Crashed several times and bugged out—lost 2 hours of work

I really want to like DaVinci Resolve, and because I haven’t paid for it yet I did add an extra star. However, while working on a project that wasn’t too crazy, my app experienced some slowdown. I’m running a 12.9 inch iPad Pro with an M1 chip. I tried to edit some photos with the inspector tab and it crashed a couple times. Eventually I gave up and moved back to cutting together the rest of the film. After working on it for a bit I tried to save it but it didn’t say whether it was saved or not. At some point I made a cut I didn’t like so I hit Cmd + Z, at which point the app freaked out and when it finally loaded normally, it went back to an earlier save state from a couple hours prior. Not sure what happened, and I was starting to get used to the UI, but I can’t responsibly learn this software if there is a chance it won’t save hours of work because it’s buggy. Supper bummed and disappointed. Glad I didn’t pay for it yet.

A nice tool for low budget DIT but needs more update

I am a digital colorist, also 2nd camera assistant on set. Used the app on a set with wireless video receiver and UVC capture card. I captured incoming video as H.264 and made a grade roughly for DoP. It took only 3 minutes, He knew actor’s hair needs more light if we want to change hair color more vibrant and subtle cyan feeling in the post. We resolved the issue within another 5 minutes and everything worked flawlessly, both director and DoP was happy. It was not a livegrade but anyway works. Even recorded footage from C70 played butterly smooth. However one thing was disappointed: It does not support Canon Cinema RAW Light unlike desktop version, nor ProRes RAW, although my 12.9 6th gen iPad Pro have a decoder engine for that. Hope to see more format support in the near future and hopefully livegrade support.

Great Editor but has a fatal flaw.

Great editor and provides a lot of tools for creating your project. I has a fatal flaw that other video editors do not have! I upgraded to the latest iPad Pro 13 inch and did the iPad to iPad setup when setting up the new iPad. I have 3 different video editors and 2 of them work flawless when bringing up on the new iPad. DaVinci editor, came up but could not find anything other than it’s projects and stated it had broken links on each of the projects. You would think that would not be a problem since there is a button to resolve broken links. The button is next to worthless since it just brings up a file dialog window and YOU the user has to guess where DaVinci buried the file it need under layers and layers of folders. I have searched both BlackMagic and the internet looking for a faster solution, with no resolve other than searching for each missing files.

Crashes constantly

Do I love this editing app? YES! I love all the features and the transitions and titles especially… that said. I’m really reluctant to do a bigger project than 1 or 2 minutes since it simply crashes on constantly. Sometimes I lose work eventhough I manually save to not lose work that takes awhile. I am working on the iPad Pro M1. The app is lovely for all it can do… but to use it for a 20 or 30 minute and potentially lose all that work and investment… I’m concerned. I have edited in Lumafusion for a few years now. Tired of how long it takes LF to do updates but it’s FAR more stable for good basic editing even if the transition options are just …well, amateur by comparison. It’s better to have something with Lumafusion than nothing with Davinci crashing all the time. WISH I had answers to what is the problem… but so far haven’t been able to find those answers.

Can’t wait to see where it goes

I love that this is a full version. What I mean is that you can have someone on an iPad while someone is on a PC at the same time with cloud collaboration. I think the Cut Page and Color Grading pages are great for the iPad. It just needs to get the Fairlight & Edit page next. If you’re looking to get this, definitely try it first. If you’re already used to Resolve, then you’ll have 90% of the learning curve down. Definitely expect some learning curves. The workflow and other things will be a bit different and you will be slower than normal at first.

Pretty great, except for software bug

I’m pleasantly surprised that Resolve runs smoothly on my 4th Gen iPad Air (although I am disappointed that I can’t export in 4k without upgrading to an iPad Pro). That aside, I stumbled across a possible software bug when editing vertical content: it is shrunken down and surrounded by a large black border that I can’t get rid of. I have already tried adjusting my project settings to 1080x1920, cropping the clips (doing so only zooms in to the clips without enlarging them), and adjusting the Retime/Scaling settings. Note that, regarding the black border, I’m not referring to the empty space that would otherwise be filled if the clips were horizontal. This problem, however, doesn’t occur when editing horizontal video. I figured that I was missing something or doing something wrong, so I imported vertical content into the desktop version of Resolve to see if the issue persisted. I used the same project settings I used on my iPad, but the desktop app displayed the vertical clips correctly. With that being said, I would appreciate having this software bug fixed so I can utilize the app fully. I’ve tried reinstalling the app, to no avail. I’m curious if other users have also experienced this problem.

Bugs are too catastrophic

It is a good attempt and really not all that bad. It does only the basic stuff for now but really has potential. The problem is that in just 3 days, it has deleted my entire project. The app crashed and the project would not appear. I looked for it but it seems to be missing the file itself. No idea how that happened. This is unacceptable because I worked 2 days on it thus far. I’d be angrier if it was a 2 week project. THEN, today, it crashed again while color grading. I can’t open the project anymore. It crashes everytime I open it. I am now unable to finish this project. I have to start over, likely with a more reliable app. I am fiddling with this a bit longer to see if I can get it to work but a reset/reboot didn’t do the trick.

In 20+ years this is my first app review.

In the 20 plus years and many thousands of dollars spent in the App Store, no program warrants such praise as BM DR. The fact that you can run the full program on an IPad was enough for me to make the jump at a time when money was questionable, going so far as to buy a maxed out iPad Pro. Liberating myself from the office desktop allowed me to see my 19 year film career in a different, less stressful light. The functionality of BM DR has truly allowed me to fall in love with this wild journey we call production yet again. Seriously, thank you.

2 years ago, chasehagen

Very basic and missing fundamentals

Well I was hoping that BMD would at least assure that their own software would work with their own cameras but as of now at least Resolve for iPad only supports BRAW but not the CDNG format many of their previous generation cameras shoot into. It sees files shot in CDNG as just stills and won’t import them properly as a clip for any of their older cameras. Also missing is the ability to add any custom 3D LUT’s at all, you are stuck with the basic LUT’s Resolve comes with, there’s no option at all to add any third party LUT files whatsoever. Hopefully they address both of these major issues, even if it requires me buying the Studio version, which I totally would if it supported both these features.

Keep it up, great start!

So far, the app works great with the current features, although there are not feasible ways of doing very simple things, such as audio fades, but also the ability to use ultra key, like in Adobe Premiere Pro. Hopefully something like this can be added soon. Also the ability to scale the timeline would be great too, as it’s currently stuck in one viewing mode, or bringing edit mode to the iPad would fix this. Thank you guys, great job so far and keep going!! This app has the potential to even rival after effects in the industry at some point, but please keep fixing bugs and crashes as well!

No Help Section - unable to import videos

Like most people who refuse Davinci resolve on an iMac I was very excited to hear that they will be a version for iPad so of course I download it. My first problem was I am unable to import any videos at all like most people who use an iPad or an iPhone your photos/videos are stored in your photos, there is no way to access this. It only opened up folders that I have absolutely no images or videos in. There is no help section to try to help me figure out how to do this. I did not have this problem with DaVinci Resolve for Mac. So unless the program did not properly install, this is an epic fail on their part. Hopefully I will be able to figure it out and I can change the review to show that.

2 audio files can’t play at once!

Music and other audio can’t play at once. It does crash a lot too. I woul like it to be easier to add transitions. Also, having a dedicated menu screen would improve the layout. It is hard to learn, but I’m sure there are plenty of videos on it. I can’t watch them so, if you could maybe add a help section showing some of these, that would be great! I am considering upgrading to pro, but it won’t show me the price, it just asks for password. Please fix! Five star app, just a few problems.

Bring all the pages and features of the computer version to the iPad!

Please continue to allow us access to all 7 pages and please continue to further develop the pages so that we can have all the same features that the computer (Mac/PC) version has. If that means I have to pay the $295 to have that, then so be it! Bring the full DaVinci Resolve experience to the iPad! Especially when no one else is giving us a powerful full fledged editor, aka Apple. This app is so powerful with all of its pages and features, without them it’s just another basic iPad editing app like iMovie, CapCut, etc.

Love Resolve but problem with 18.5 update

I’ve noticed since the update to 18.5 audio is about 20 frames off - audio is 20 frames early! I have had to adjust audio to sync with the video - in all pages. I have tried several files and they all have the same issue. Other than this, Resolve is fantastic. BTW, audio on Resolve on my iMac is fine - this is just an iPad Pro Issue (latest iPad Pro). Even with this issue, I still give Resolve 5 stars as it is an excellent app. I just have to adjust the audio track to match the video.

GREAT FOR WHATS INTENDED

This editor really is the most complete version of video edition that I’ve seen on a mobile device and FREE for a quick simple edit or just to get some work done on the go but I’d say you can edit any video in here, ofc the desktop version (free) is more complete and has more tools but for what it is capable and for social media editing really makes life easier than carrying a laptop or going to the desktop to edit a simpler video , Really works great and runs smoothly on the iPAD Air 5 with the M1 Chip.

Adding mobile to a workflow

I’ve used this app to help with my video editing for most of a year, I stopped for a little bit while saving for a new iPad that I can edit in my preferred resolution with. I setup a cloud and folders for working between my desktops and iPad while on the road or otherwise not at home. The issue I have is temporary but annoying, I upgraded to 19 on my PC and Mac, for some of the features I use, however you can’t open 19 projects on the current iPad version, so until 19 is out of beta I can’t use my mobile workflow

Not sure why it’s so difficult to see all my videos that are directly in my Photos app.

One of the frustrations I’ve had with this application is the fact that it does not show a folder for my Photos app. Despite having full access, nothing is on the left-hand side only the iCloud option is there. Reset tried different options. Nothing there for the Photos app, despite every other applicationin the apps folder, having access to just pull directly out of my Photos app, this one has to make it the most difficult. It should not be this difficult. When I click on the Photos app should be the very first thing that pops up.

doubly miraculous

There are literally two miracles occurring here: First, that software like Davinci Resolve is available in nearly complete form on the iPad. Second, that it’s completely free for just about anything most people need to do with it. Yes, it’s complicated and it takes time to learn how to use correctly. Good. I wish more iPad software would allow itself this level of complexity, because often that’s the only way to get to necessary capability.

Imo, as of Oct 2023 - Final Cut has the edge. So much potential tho.

You swap from Lightroom to DaVinciResolve with a flick of your hand - the CX impossible on most machines that run this software. But not on the iPad - this is the reality we are fortunate enough to live in today. Here it is - the Resolve interface you know and love. You notice only two tabs on the bottom immediately - editing and color grading. FairLight is nowhere in sight (and fair enough), but nor is the file manager there, or the simplified clip view. Odd choice, but understandable - better have a stable build now, than later. Then, you try to fade in audio and realize - that is not a feature (yet, (hopefully)). Cropping on the M1 iPad Pro is comically laggy for 1920x1080p footage, and the overall CX of the NLE is just… off. Ex: You are guaranteed to try to move a clip, only to enter the ‘scroll selected portion of the source’ mode inside the clip. Verdict: Final Cut is clunky and I dont like it, but — it has more features of the desktop NLEs.

Good editing-crashes A LOT on my ipad

There are a lot of features so there is definitely a learning curve to this which is great. I like the software but it crashes a lot when I am using on my ipad. If I am using it for two hours, it may crash about 10 times, luckily it automatically saves my work so I don’t have to redo anything, just re-opening the app and choosing my work many many times. I don’t know how to report it. I googled it and that looks like a time consuming process too, I just want to edit videos. I hope it gets fixed soon. Really like the software.

AMAZING! But, PLEASE STOP THE CRASHES!

Editing on the couch with an Apple Pencil faster than my editors in a suite? Yes, please and thank you—- until —-WOOPS—— CRASH, CRASH, CRASH! Just counted eight times in a row in 15mins. This has to stop in order to be effective. Reluctantly deleting and reinstalling app, scared that all of my files will be gone because of this CRASH, CRASH, CRASH! So, the Final Cut and professional, fancy editing colleagues actually win because they can complete a project longer than :45. Fix whatever bug is crashing the 18.5 on the latest iPad. Thx!

Very good with a keyboard

I am a YouTuber making videos… this was a big game changer my pc could not handle the power of DaVinci now my m1 iPad is rocking this without any difficulty. I know it’s still not fully released with all pages so using the other pages is ok but not smooth it crashes. But it should be fixed when the other pages are officially released. This is A great editing app for pro and casual user. Better than all the other “free” editing apps

Edited and Published my first video using this app, was awesome!

I am very happy with this app. I am suspecting more features are on the way but this was a great start. I created my first video using 4K footage from my Sony A7IV and multi-cam with some GoPro’s and I had no issues. Although I don’t normally use the cut tab, this forced me to try it and it turns out I really like using it. Very happy with this and for free, it’s amazing. I’ll be picking up Studio though. Very happy, thank you!

Just don’t…

I’m tired of crashing. It is not reliable. For a while, I’ve been looking for ways, googling up for better solution. Maybe close different apps and sign out from Blackmagic Cloud. But… to… no… avail… I think it is at its infancy, but I’m at my point where I’m not recommending anyone to fork over $95 for the Studio version. You are better off buying Macbook Air and be provided the full version of Davinci Resolve. Even more, the apps is limited to Edit and Color and there are some limitations on how to edit. Not to mention, if Apple is releasing Logic Pro apps, where is Fairlight?

Just ONE thing….

As a Resolve Studio user on PC, I love this. Performance on my M2 iPad Pro is fantastic. Only one thing, you cannot bring up the edit panel unless you have a physical keyboard connected to the iPad and you assign a shortcut to it. After all this time, I cannot believe this is STILL the case. Unreal. So, if I want to edit on my iPad, I must always remember to being a physical keyboard with me to open the edit panel. As unreal as that seems, that’s the case. Until it’s changed. And soon, I hope. Very soon.

Efficiency and performance

I haven’t used it to its full extent but I wanted to write a quick review to make an issue known. During export, when you switch to a different app, the export progress bar disappears, without any indication whether it’s still exporting or not. After awhile it fails. While the progress bar disappears and you try to export again, it won’t let you; nothing happens. You would have to quit the app and try again. Developers need to fix this issue.

Calling this “unwieldy” is unfair to merely unwieldy apps

Imagine the most clunky, unwieldy app possible for an iPad —- and that would still be smoother, more efficient, and more intuitive than this piece of junk. To make matters worse — I had to buy the Studio version in order to access Magic Mask — the one feature that was tempting me to migrate to DaVinci Resolve. Imagine my disappointment when I found this feature to be barely-if-at-all functional!! But I thought —- maybe I can keep this from being a _total_ loss. I noticed that (unlike the other iPad options) this app has a scrolling-text function. Only problem is —- when I tried to highlight any significant swath of text, the text-field did not cooperate. Everyone’s talking about how awesome and game-chainging DaVinci Resolve is. But as for me, I am going to be sticking with FinalCut Pro and LumaFusion. I have already uninstalled this app from both my iPads — and as soon as I am able to, I am going to request a refund on the Studio version of this app.

Game Changing

This app is game changing! This is not a dumbed down version of resolve, it’s fully featured cut and color pages, and with cloud collaboration I can work on projects on desktop and iPad interchangeably. Can’t wait to see what BMD does with this app next! The deliver tab, and fusion tab would make this app nearly perfect. And maybe fairlight? And for free this app is a no brainer. Also I’m on a 2018 iPad pro, and have not run into any issues. So happy this is out!

💡📊❕

Developers, I have a suggestion for an enhancement to your video editing software: a customizable sound visualizer tailored for audio tracks. This feature should allow users to adjust visual elements like color schemes, waveform shapes, and intensity to match different audio tracks. The visualizer would ideally react dynamically and in real time to the audio, providing an engaging audio-visual experience. Including settings for frequency response and visual complexity would be beneficial. Such a feature would not only enhance your software’s functionality but also give users creative freedom to visually represent their audio tracks in unique ways. Thank you for considering this suggestion. I believe it would be a valuable addition for many users.

Crashes on launch

I’m sure this is a terrific program. However, on my iPad Pro it crashes every time I launch the app. Hopefully an update is on the way to fix this issue. I agree with one of the other reviewers about having the iPad app, be identical to the desktop app, but obviously, with the only difference being the touch interface of the iPad.

An exciting starting debut!

An exciting starting point for a software that has only given me joy from the beginning. Hard to learn, easy to use when you get practice. The best thing about the IPad version is that it looks a lot like its older version on Mac/PC, which makes it easier to handle. Still in an early stage, it promises a lot. In my case, as a journalist, I can make a video with interviews, voice over, and film material in record time.

Absolutely love it, but not the update

I absolutely love using DaVinci Resolve. I use it waaay more than any other editing software, but the most recent update has moved all kinds of things, and I am having many many problems that I didn’t before. I can’t even finish exporting any videos, it fails right at the end every time… please help and I’ll go back to 5 stars. Otherwise I’ll have to quit using it… no point if I can’t export.

Still feels like a late beta

I’ve been using LumaFusion for years and love its simplicity. However, it lacks quite a few features that prevents it from being a true FCP replacement. DaVinci Resolve has almost all of those features and then some, but it’s going to take some getting used to. My other complaint is that it’s got some bugs and it doesn’t fully support external monitor on iPadOS 16 (that seems like a major oversight). I had to delete and reinstall to get it working again.

Love DaVinci except on my iPad

I absolutely love DaVinci Resolve except it crashes and shuts down literally every 5 minutes or so. The iPad is less than a year old and has been virtually unused. I look forward to getting a laptop this year so hopefully I can use this program without the frustration of having to walk away from it so that it and I can cool down.

18.5 Fusion page crashes on my iPad

Hi. DaVinci Resolve is more than fine for me. In the 18.5 update, all the pages like Edit, Cut, Colour, Fairlight is working fine. However, Fusion page doesn’t work. Whenever I open Fusion on my 2020 iPad Pro, it crashes, which previously worked just fine. I also have couple of projects made on Fusion page on my iPad. Please fix this issue. Thank you

Caveat

A really nice video editor with a couple of caveats. First, be sure that the versions on your Mac and iPad are the same, otherwise your editing and project on the iPad cannot make the round-trip back to your Mac. Also, the smaller timeline above the larger view is a bit of a pain because I keep hitting it by mistake and jumping around to the wrong place. Other than that, this video editor presents amazing functionality and possibilities.

It works great!

I would suggest adding more of the desktop features to the mobile version, but the functionality it has works perfectly! It only crashes when my iPad can’t handle the amount of footage I’m using, but that’s just because I have an older iPad. I’ve never lost any footage or editing because of a crash.

A dump truck with a mercedes engine.

I don't know about iPad Pro, really. Any time I use "Smart Warp" when interpolating frames, this device crashes to desktop as soon as I hit render. I blamed it on heat buildup, but this is now happening with my iPad Pro sitting on a chilled gel pad to pull heat out of the device (which has abysmal cooling and tries to convince you "the M1 doesn't need it") I am not trusting iPad Pro as a serious work station. Maybe the Mac book does better but this tablet running a hyped-up PHONE OS isn't working for me.

Crash city

Just purchased the Studio version and this app is crashing unexpectedly if I just blow on the Magic Keyboard. Then upon relaunch and reopening of a project, all the media is missing. I’ve tried to resync the media then get an error that it can’t be found. Restarting the iPad Pro (13” M4) will miraculously resync the data and I’m able to edit for a bit until the next crash, then this annoying cycle restarts again. Wish I didn’t pay for the Studio version, I could’ve got this horrible experience for free.

So close

I really want to like this app. As it is essentially the same desktop app shrank down very efficiently. But it crashed constantly in my iPad air fourth generation. Even though it is supposedly already limiting the performance and features available due memory constraints. I might just need an upgrade, but I think they should just let people know that the app won’t actually work at all on “older” devices. I struggled with a very simple 10 seconds HD edit.
