Apple has revealed its plans to bring its video and music creation tools to iPads. Starting from May 23, Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro will be available on iPads equipped with either the M1 or M2 chipset. Final Cut Pro is a professional video editing software, while Logic Pro is a music production software. To access these tools, users can subscribe through the App Store for a monthly cost of $4.99 or an annual cost of $49. Apple is also offering a one-month free trial for users to try out the software before committing to a subscription. This move expands the creative capabilities of iPads, making advanced video and music editing more accessible on Apple’s tablet devices. **Also read: Planning to buy the iPad this year?

One notable addition is the jog wheel, which makes editing smoother and introduces new ways to interact with content. Live Drawing enables users to draw and write directly on top of video content using the Apple Pencil. iPads equipped with the M2 chipset offer the Pencil hover feature, allowing quick skimming and previewing of footage without physically touching the screen. For the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, HDR video viewing and editing capabilities are available, and Reference Mode ensures accurate application of color grades. Pro camera mode allows high-quality video shooting in both portrait and landscape orientations, with features like audio monitoring and manual control over focus, exposure, and white balance. This comprehensive functionality enables users to capture, edit, and publish video content directly from their iPad, even while on location. It’s worth noting that recording video with an iPad may not be considered practical in some scenarios. Additionally, only iPads powered by the M2 chip offer the added benefit of recording video in ProRes format. Multicam video editing simplifies the process of synchronizing and editing multiple clips together, allowing seamless switching between different camera angles with just one touch. **Also read: Apple is working on an extra-large iPad, to launch a 16-inch iPad towards the end of 2023** Final Cut Pro on iPads offers several advanced features to enhance video editing.
