- [Jonathan] Yo guys, Jonathan here.
So this past Friday I thought it'd be a good idea
to edit a video from start to finish
on the iPad Pro.
Plot twist was it was a time sensitive
Kevin Kenson video that we were trying to shoot, edit,
and get up all on youtube the exact same day.
- He has no faith in me.
- [Kevin Kenson] I have some faith in you.
- Like, 5 out of 10, IGN?
- [Kevin] Eh 4 and a half.
- [Johnathan] This was shot on a Sony A7 III in 4k
with a mix of 120 FPS slow-motion video.
Transferred directly through USB-C to the iPad Pro
and then edited in LumaFusion,
which is hands down the best option out right now.
Also, quick update, the iPad Pro review
is taking just a little longer than I hope
but I promise it will be worth it.
Stay tuned this week.
For now, let's go to watch me either
successfully edit on the iPad Pro
or fail and fall on my face.
We're gonna start with the Kevin clip.
Drag it in.
Here we go.
The one thing I've learned is the Apple Pencil
essentially becomes your mouse.
So, for those that want mouse support this is your mouse.
That's the way you gotta look at it on the iPad Pro.
What I would like to do is get the audio levels
just balanced first so I don't have to deal with that later.
Oh, you got like everything on here.
You got a compressor.
Let's try that out.
- Featuring not only the Switch with the special design,
a dock with a special design and special Joy-Cons,
but also a copy of the game and even this little Poké Ball
controller we're gonna get to a little later.
Before we break down
everything that came in the box,
I wanna talk about the box itself.
- Not bad.
Kevin's gonna hate me for playing his voice that loud.
- Oh that's cool.
- I wanna talk about the box.
- On. - and on the back of the box
instead of having - Off.
- A bunch of boring info with contents and legal stuff.
- They put all that stuff on the side and instead...
- Hey they said we got the same haircut Rich.
- Oh yeah, we go to the same barber that's why.
- Ethel is not on Instagram.
Shout out to Ethel, she's amazing.
- Comes with a copy of the game, and also
this little Poké Ball. - I think I could get like,
I think I could get it a little louder, just a little bit.
- This is the final one of the year and I would argue,
quite possibly the best. - That's healthy.
- Also the largest because there is
a lot of stuff going on here.
We have not only a special edition Switch but a special ed--
- Now I want to put out one thing,
anyone who's edited video,
now this is a 4K clip.
Anyone who's edited on a MacBook Pro,
you know those fans sounds like a jet engine taking off.
It's quiet.
I guess it's kinda like a look into my work flow in general.
What I usually like to do,
like if I have a talking head segment.
Is to one, kinda color grade it and get the audio set
so I can just chop, chop, chop, chop, chop.
And it's ready to go, so, audio's done with Kevin.
I think I'm gonna try and give it
just a little bit of a look.
Out of the camera the Sony looks amazing I think.
But, we're going to tweak it, just spice it up a little bit.
They got some color presets, anti-green.
I wonder how that looks.
Ah, that's not bad, that's a little too much.
Usually with the way we shoot
we have so much green around us.
We have plants and trees and the floor is green.
I'll typically just pull out a little bit of green.
We can actually do that in the basic color correction.
What I'm gonna do is just pull a little bit of green.
Usually with the sunny stuff we don't need to.
I'ma go like...minute.
What I'll probably end up doing is
maybe give it a little more contrast.
Pull out the shadows.
And if you want to, you can actually use LUTs.
- This little Poké Ball controller
we're gonna get to a little bit later.
But before we talk about any of the stuff in depth
and what I think of them,
I want to talk about the box.
- Steve that looks better, huh?
- Which one?
- Color correct on. - Yeah, definitely.
- Give it a little bit of brightness.
Oh, that's nice.
Damn.
You guys are gonna know,
but I guarantee you when we upload this to Kevin's channel
no one's gonna know it was shot on a A7
and also edited in iPad.
You can get really in there to the wave form.
Alright, so I think, what was the command, B, was blade.
And then command X is delete.
- Today is the day Pokémon Let's Go Eevee and Pikachu
are finally here.
With them we--
- 'Kay let skip that. Chop time. Chop city.
- We're getting another special edition Switch bundle.
- That's the end point, I'm going to hit that point, blade.
Next talking point.
- And some of the things are really neat ideas
as they actually also--
- You know what kinda blows my mind with this
if you use Final Cut or Premiere on a desktop or MacBook.
In Final Cut you have the option to play back
full quality or optimize media.
Both look really good.
Courtney, come check out the playback.
- This little Poké Ball controller
we're gonna get to a little bit later.
But before we talk about any of this stuff
in depth and what I think of them,
I want to talk about the box.
As for the system this is - It's really smooth.
- The most thorough special - Yeah, it's crazy.
- edition Nintendo has done so far,
all the ones we've had in the past they'll do things like
maybe something on the dock, maybe something on the Switch,
maybe something on the Joy-Cons.
This one we're getting all three.
First I want to look at the Joy-Cons.
- Kev, we're chopping.
- [Kevin] Yeah? How's it going?
- Amazing.
Command B.
Kev, you're a one take wonder sometimes.
- This looks good, I think Nintendo could do better.
- Ooh, shots fired.
The audio, everything's good man.
- Still a cool bundle but I just think
that'd be one extra cool thing.
Especially for old school fans of the series.
- For those that have been following me,
I've been putting a lot of work into this iPad review.
I wanted to kind of put my money where my mouth is.
Is that the saying?
This is smooth man.
- Can I do (mumbles)
- No, not yet.
It feels like...
- Like it's the future?
- This is the future.
- As just a little collectable, it's really awesome.
- Damn, Kevin's got some length.
Pretty much the base cut right now is done.
We did a couple alternate takes
with different focal lengths.
Just kind of cropped in on Kevin.
Right now I'm just gonna go through those.
The base cut right now is done, about 3:45
without any intro music montage kinda thing.
- The classic outro for every special edition box
will be like alright cool, we have a (mumbles)
I'm gonna go play it.
(Jonathan chuckles)
Finally here Pokémon Let's Go Eevee and Pickachu
are out and they- - Man, I will say.
Sony A7, hands down... I'm sorry, I'm sorry?
- You ever hear bout the (mumbles)
- I know you got a GH5.
- And it's the best.
- A7, A7.
Next, what I want to do is music time.
There was that one track that I liked.
(upbeat dramatic music)
This track it's not for Kevin but its...
It's kind of dramatic-y.
Wait for it, wait for it.
That piano.
(relaxing techno music)
I think this is the track.
This is a good track. Musicbed.
- [Male] Don't give them the source.
(laughing)
- I keep some of the tracks for ourselves.
- I can hear Kevin's voice over this right now.
(relaxing techno music)
I like waiting for the drop.
Hey guys, Kevin here.
Today we're doing the Pokémon Go.
- Pokémans.
- Pokémans?
Here we go.
Oh.
- It's kind of a subtle drop.
- That's a good drop though.
(fist hitting palm) It doesn't punch you in the face.
- In the face!
(laughter)
(relaxing techno music)
- Today is the day- - Oh!
You know we have that beauty shot of Kev too.
- In depth on any of those though,
I wanna talk about the box.
- Yeah, put that on in the beginning.
- Chop this in.
Yeah, we'll try that.
All that for a little shot.
- Not only a special edition Switch,
but also Joy-Cons and a dock.
Before we go in depth on any of those though--
- Jeez, this is gonna be ridiculous.
Oh wow, that works.
- Before we talk about any of the stuff in depth
and what I think of them,
I wanna talk about the box.
(inhales) - Pacing is on point.
(clapping)
- This little Poké Ball controller
we're gonna get to a little bit later.
Before we talk about any of this stuff in depth
and what I think of them,
I wanna talk about the box.
As for the system, this is the most--
- Oh we're so close.
- This little Poké Ball controller
we're gonna get to a little bit later.
Before we talk about any of this stuff in depth
and what I think of them,
I wanna talk about the box. (inhales)
As for the system, this is the most
thorough special edition Nintendo has do--
- This is what I do all the time when I edit.
- I wanna talk about the box.
- Do I any moves here?
I do, thank goodness.
(relaxing techno music)
- That's dope with this beat in it.
- I wish you could nest and compound
and speed ramp and speed ramp ya know?
- Mm-hmm.
- Probably shorten that up a little bit.
(relaxing techno music)
Matt, this is amazing.
- [Matt] Is it?
- Its f-- I almost cussed right now.
(laughing)
Dude check--
- [Matt] I'm coming, I'm coming.
It's effing amazing?
(relaxing techno music)
- Today is the day, Pokemon Let's Go Eevee and Pikachu
are finally here and with them
we're getting another special edition Switch bundle.
This is final one of the year
and I'd argue actually possibly the best.
It's also the largest because there
is a lot of stuff going on here.
We have not only a special edition Switch
but also special edition Joy-Cons--
- Probably throw some brawl here after but, ah so good.
- Before we get started talking about any of
this stuff in depth and what I think of them,
I wanna talk about the box. - [Matt] Oh, nice cut.
(relaxing techno music)
- [Matt] That's crazy you were able to do those speed ramps.
- Yeah.
- [Matt] Flawless speed ramps, it's crazy.
- Look at the scrubbing too.
- [Matt] Dude that's awesome.
- It's insanity.
Look I was (sigh)
(Matt laughing)
I was already... this kind of changed my mind on everything.
- [Matt] Okay.
- No, because I feel like I was positive with
the iPad Pro in the sense of
again I feel like everyone's looking in the wrong direction.
With photos people default to say
Photoshop isn't here so it must suck.
Drew showcased Affinity Photo.
- [Matt] It's almost like there's another section
you gotta make for your video.
Everyone's looking at it as a laptop replacement
when it's an alternative.
You're looking for traditional methods
when you should be looking for alternative methods.
- [Matt] People are trying to put hay in their car
and going why doesn't this work?
Well it's not a horse you idiots.
(laughter)
Are you just grading manually in here?
- No there's a whole--
- [Matt] It's got a LUT library kinda situation?
- It supports LUTs, you can do color grading.
I pulled green down, did the contrast, saturation.
Check this out.
If I wanted to option A,
you can copy every single attribute.
If you just wanted to do that.
Then it's a matter of, option A, you can paste individual.
It's crazy.
- [Matt] Like a real editing program?
- Yes. (laughing)
What started out as a terrible idea has got me hyped.
- [Matt] My favorite thing going on here
is that you're charging your iPhone with the iPad right now.
(laughing)
- Multi-purpose.
We're out of battery banks.
Dude, the other day I had to charge my mouse with the iPad.
(Matt laughing)
- [Matt] You can take all night on this thing if you want--
- Oh no, I don't need all night.
I need three more minutes. - [Matt] I just don't want
you to feel rushed.
- I'm on the home stretch right now.
- [Matt] Okay.
- I like the in and out points.
- [Male] When you're not using an iPad
how long does it take you to edit a video typically?
- I guess it depends.
I feel like depending on the complexity of it.
We've done videos from start to finish in a day.
We did something recently that was turned
around in five hours.
The last MacBook video I think.
From start to finish, from shooting to editing
I think was like five hours.
The longer things,
like in this case the iPad review's taking a lot longer
'cause it's just a lot more into it.
I feel like we've also been working
on multiple projects at the same time.
It's finished up right now.
I'm about to export.
I'm gonna time it.
The final cut is
four minutes and 44 seconds.
Yup, people are going to go crazy.
Jonathan's saving Apple again.
For real, this is legitimately useful
and you can do some crazy stuff on this.
Without further ado,
I think it's time that we export this.
Rich you got that stop watch going?
- I do now.
- If you guys are in the chat right now,
four minute and 44 second video.
I'm gonna guess that it's going to be real time
or potentially a little better.
What I love about LumaFusion is there's a bunch
of baked in, preset useful resolutions.
It even supports 2:1.
All this is actually pretty on point
with what is optimized for YouTube.
The bit rate's nice, we go the frame rate, the 3084 x 2160.
Kevin is not 2:1 yet so that's why.
We're not at 3084 x 1920
Export duration.
That's the final project length.
Space needed to export and the estimated file size.
Which is pretty much right on point
with a compressor reset.
For those watching or just tuning in this is not iMovie,
this is LumaFusion which is hands down
the best option right now.
I'm going to...
We're off? We're off. Start that.
Man it is chugging, holy mother.
Update, a minute thirty.
It's bouncing back and forth between real time.
I think the big lesson here,
I think everyone just kind of looks you know,
on the bare bones level.
They try iMovie out, they try Adobe Rush.
Because that is not pro
then they assume that the iPad Pro can't do things.
Four minutes and 22 seconds, four minutes and seven seconds.
I think, you know, kind of like I assumed,
it was gonna be just about real time.
Matt didn't think it was gonna be real time.
- [Matt] I did not, no.
- Oh, close.
So it's gonna be just a hair over real time.
Four minutes and 43 seconds.
- [Matt] How long is the actual video?
- Four minutes and 44 seconds.
So it's gonna be a hair, just a hair over real time.
We're at four minutes and 53 seconds.
We are on the home stretch.
It's gonna be about five minutes for
a four minute and 45 second clip.
And we are done.
- Alright, 5:05. - Damn, 5:05.
(inhales sharply)
That's all I'm gonna say.
(techno music)
