Finger manipulation is not the same as a mouse. With the same requirements as above, but the tablet montage app is limited to a much smaller frame, requiring developers to optimize. Screen size, touch operations are limits developers have to overcome when making video editing apps on tablets. Therefore, many filmmakers choose to use 2 to 3 Screens to support their work. However, I think that exposing it all for quick action is the most optimal method for the experience. The essential parts usually include Timeline, Preview, Source, File, Effects, Sound… Each application has its own arrangement and layout so that all parts fit on the screen frame. Therefore, the biggest difficulty of the developer is to optimize this control.Īn editing app often needs a lot of functional items to appear together for users to manipulate. This is a tablet-based application, screen size 10-13 inches, interacting mainly by touch operations on fingers. Watching video tutorials is time consuming and relatively boring. But I think direct practice is the best way to self-study. Apple’s support tool also has dozens of video tutorials for users to grasp the feature.
FCP IPAD MOVIE
Meanwhile, for a complete newbie, who has never edited a movie before, Apple shares a sample project to see what the software can do. Although users are familiar with the interface and working of Premiere Pro, Davinci Resolve or CapCut before, getting used to Apple’s new app does not take much time.
FCP IPAD PRO
Overall, Final Cut Pro for iPad is designed strictly according to Apple’s philosophy, very simple. Some difficulties will appear when I need to use other operations, such as cutting, trimming, editing movies.

Inside with the Timeline, the Preview box, the effects or customizations are all very familiar.

Initial operations such as creating projects, setting settings, adding editing files are all very simple to use. Although only used to using Premiere Pro, my process of getting used to Final Cut Pro on iPad didn’t take long, thanks in part to the small number of features and intuitive interface.
