DaVinci Resolve for iPad do not think I've ever ran to this desk as fast as this as someone who
is an expert in DaVinci Resolve I've been using it for years now I want to dive into those handful
of screenshots that we saw glimpses of resolve for iPad and talk about what features are coming
what features are not coming and that way we can properly set our expectations for when this app
finally launches because we all know what happened when Photoshop was announced and then it launched
and there were like barely any features that the full desktop version had if you're new around here
welcome talk all things Blackmagic Apple products in general text stuff that I just love and super
get excited about so if you want to join the community make sure you get subscribed so first
of all why why would Blackmagic care to Port their Hollywood level professional software to an iPad
and why should we as consumers care because you may have a laptop lying around that already has
DaVinci Resolve well I believe there is a few reasons one of course there's a situation where
someone has to pick one or the other and there's a lot of benefits to having a iPad especially if
you like touch screen enabled apps there is no touch enabled Mac it's also huge incredible news
because ever 's been begging Apple to release a final cut for iPad version for years as soon as
this news launched everyone's like really Apple you're literally going to feature and let another
company beat you at potentially your own game but that could be a whole other video thanks Apple's
press release we can actually see the main screen of resolve for iPad the first big key thing is to
look at the bottom of the image here at these two icons because anyone who has used resolve before
knows that there are I'm gonna test my knowledge here media cut edit fusion color fairlight deliver
seven here we only see two icons and I can tell you that the icon on the left is the cut page
and the icon on the right is the color page so it looks like those are going to be the primary
day one launched features hopefully the other ones will get launched over time but these two
are the most important ones to start with at least in my opinion and so first let's talk
about the cut page I am so happy to see that it's not a fully dumbed down version so we can see at
the top left here we have media you're going to be able to import through like your photos app
the files menu that's pretty normal transitions titles and effects again all pretty standard and
then you have the sync button which is the same as the sync bin on the full desktop version so
clearly multicam stuff is going to work all right so zooming out a little bit we got our bin we got
our viewer we have our timeline and just like the cup page has you kind of have your your smaller
timeline view which I've always really appreciated because at the bottom here you can be super zoomed
into your timeline working but then right above that you can kind of see where you're at in the
project and quickly use that top playhead to scrub to a totally different part of the project
without having to like zoom in and out of your timeline a million times super helpful yeah at
the top right you have your quick export settings which isn't going to be as intense as the deliver
page but just like the cupcake Pages quick export options you have the inspector so you're going to
be able to resize clips and change opacity all the basic clip adjustments tell you what the
one thing that I hate about the cut page every single time I have a meeting with Blackmagic I
talk to them about this on the main edit page you can adjust the waveform height and most time when
I'm cutting down a roll like this where I'm just trying to camera or for anyone who does interviews
podcasts or something like that you know that you don't even edit really looking at the video
you're just watching the audio waveforms looking for the spaces that you need to remove or mistakes
or and the cup page has never had the ability to adjust the waveform size I've always found
that way too hard that's why I don't use the cut page that often still so I want to see if they fix
that or adjusted that in here we'll see on that one the bottom right you can see a settings and
a home icon settings one I'm sure that's where you just set up your project timeline settings
but the home one DaVinci Resolve operates off databases so when you launched DaVinci
Resolve on a computer you see see all the projects within your database this past year they launched
Blackmagic Cloud which takes those database from a local idea to a cloud-based one this is where
I think it's going to be a game changer because this will allow people like me who have multiple
different computers if I can create a project in here maybe cut down my a-roll in here but then
when I need to go into like Fusion effects or something that this iPad version may not have
I can just hop on my computer open up DaVinci Resolve and the projects will be immediately
synced or since they have collaborative features maybe that will be brought into here and you'll
still be syncing the same database so while someone is you know my wife's editing on my
computer I can be cutting down in here and here we see our first glimpse of the color page they
took what was already objectively the greatest color grading software for computer and it looks
like they pretty much ported every feature that I can see over we can at least know that they
are not going to do some horrendous dumbed down version where you get like three basic wheels
and then oh here's a little curve slider this is the full color page from resolve you have all of
your different Wheels it looks like you're gonna have your primaries I can even see the HDR Wheels
in there you have raw camera controls I don't know how it took me until just now literally recording
this am I finally going to be able to use b-raw Clips on my iPad yeah right because it's black
magic how do I how did I not even think about that I was just excited about the software in
general we have the uh I always forget the name of it but it's like the color spider web thing
which is a fantastic feature I use all the time because it allows you to just select in a color
on your actual viewer and then take that color and move it around the color wheel to then adjust
that color to any other color super powerful you have your keyframing you have all of your scope
we can see our tabs for gallery Luts that you're going to be able to import that'd be cool if they
synced literally one of the best things about the resolve color page is being able to grade
one image and then select that as a still and essentially apply that still to all the
other clips that you want within that same scene and it's very different than just like copying
pasting a Lut or color matching like a lot of stuff for us do where it kind of looks at the
colors closely no it copies and pastes the same exact node tree and it's super super blurry but
on the right hand side that second one in from the right does look like the node icon and I mean it'd
be ridiculous it's not going to be layer based of course it's gonna be nodes so you'll be able
to see all your color grading nodes do we get an image of that anywhere else in this video okay
right there before his finger covers it up you can see in the top right they have effects so there's
definitely going to be some fusion effects filters going on in here for version one of this app if
they release everything that we've seen in these screenshots I am beyond excited it is not a full
port from resolve to here we're only starting with the cup page and color page but if you're going to
start somewhere that is the place to start but there's still some important questions to be
asked that hopefully we learn maybe later today or in the coming weeks or hopefully when this
gets released hopefully not like next summer how much is it going to be is it going to be a
standalone they're not really of the subscription model type so I'm not too worried about that if
I had to throw out a hi guess no you can get full DaVinci Resolve studio for your computer for 2.99
so if I had to throw out a guess I'm going to say 50 bucks and it will be worth every single
penny of that obviously we'd love to know when it's coming teases like this can be hard because
it could show up in the matter of days or weeks or it could be something that Blackmagic goes
hey glad you're all excited uh it should ship like NAB 2023 you best believe whenever it does
come out or if there's any any more news update stuff I'm going to be making content about it so
make sure you're subscribed but if you want to quench your thirst a little bit and see how I
turned my iPad into a Mac kind of check out this video over here and make sure you get subscribed
so you don't miss out on those future videos appreciate you all see you in the next one
