Hands-On With the DaVinci Resolve Beta for iPad

Why in the heck can the largest creative software developer not come up with this? Hello Adobe? I know most people hate their subscription model (me included), but I use their software to make money. My business is focused on graphic design, but I do know how to use PP/AE. My MBP is for work, but I'm finding myself, more and more, leaving it in my backpack when I get home and grabbing my M1 iPad Pro. Basically, my MBP is my work machine and iPad is more for my personal stuff, so I would love to have a moderately powerful video editor on my iPad, doesn't need to be as powerful as desktop, but more capable than the lousy Premiere Rush. Sure there are several good iPad NLEs out there, but it would be nice to have something that is part of my current workflow ecosystem, so that in the case that I do want to move a project to the desktop, or import an animation, illustration, etc from another Adobe app, it all works seamlessly.

Have you seen the PS/PP/AE interface lately? They can't cram all the features in logical order on a desktop app let alone on mobile touchscreen small real estate. Adobe is out of luck when it comes to iPad. No way they can port PP/AE or Photoshop UI on a tablet. They have to come up with mobile UI but then they risk of people being familiar desktop apps to not adopt the mobile app.

Not saying that current Resolve is any better. Resolve team has ran out of screen space long time ago so they just put fancy looking icons all over the place and you have no clue what they are unless you click on them. And then that one feautre you really need is where? In a drop down menu on your menu bar. It makes zero sense. Do you know how quality video upscaling works in Resolve? You have to go to right click Clip Attribute in Media tab and then set it to SuperScale on each freakin clip. Here is how upscaling works in Nucoda: you just drop the filter called Upscale on a timeline/composite or single clip. That's it.

Oh, I understand software is becoming more and more complex/bloated. I’m not saying ALL the features need to be there, but give us something better than Rush. I just don’t see why they can’t come up with a NLE that lets you do a somewhat polished cut, have some of the most used effects and adjustments, then if you need to really get down in the trenches, than you just take it to the desktop and finish it out.
 
Hi, I need to know something about storage and DaVinci Resolve on the iPad.

I plan on getting a 128GB iPad Pro. Will that be enough for 1 project at a time? I plan to have 60 to 80GB of free space. Would that space be enough for an amateur? Does it support working on an external SSD storage? Thank you.

I would get at least 256 GB or 512 GB for video editing.

Thank you very much, I’ll think about it, although I’d like to stay on the base model because of the budget, but maybe it would be worth it.

Hopefully I’ll learn how to make good use of either Luma Fusion or DaVinci Resolve.

The question stands, tho: will DaVinci Resolve for iPad allow working over an external SSD?

EDIT: just read on Reddit that it can work with files on an external SSD. It can work from an SSD, to an SSD, without importing files locally. Apparently.

Not sure what the question is. The linked thread 4 pages on the most essential apps For MacOS.

The thread does not appear to be relevant to DaVinci Resolve on iPad.
