Apple recently announced that iPad users will have access to Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro. The popular music and video editing software will include features that are specifically tailored for use on the iPad. Final Cut Pro, for instance, has introduced a jog wheel feature, which the company claims will make editing “easier than ever” by allowing users to explore the magnetic timeline, move clips, and execute edits with finger and multi-touch gestures. Both apps will be available from May 23 and come with a monthly or yearly subscription, with one month of free trial.
Apple stated that Final Cut Pro will run on all iPad devices that are powered by the M1 or M2 chipsets, while Logic Pro will be supported on all iPads powered by the A12 Bionic or later chipsets. In India, the monthly subscription for each software is priced at Rs. 499, while the yearly subscription is offered at a package of Rs. 4,999 for each.
Live Drawing is a new feature in Final Cut Pro for iPad that allows users to draw and write directly on top of video footage being edited using the Apple Pencil. An iPad Pro with an M2 processor will enable users to skim and preview video without touching the screen by using the hover feature of the Apple Pencil.
Logic Pro for iPad includes similar touch-friendly features, such as multi-touch gestures for operating software instruments and navigating controllers. The app also has a new sound library that uses dynamic filtering to assist users in finding different types of sounds, including alternative instrument patches, audio patches, plug-in presets, samples, and loops.
Beat Breaker is a new plug-in in Logic Pro that allows users to morph time and pitch, and reshape and shuffle sounds by swiping and pinching. The app also supports the Apple Pencil for detailed track automation.
Apple recommends using a Magic Keyboard or Smart Keyboard Folio to use keyboard commands. Users will also be able to transfer Logic Pro projects between Mac and iPad and export audio tracks to Final Cut Pro for iPad. The company added that users will have access to projects created in GarageBand on iOS with Logic Pro on iPad.
