there is non that do mts on the ipad i have to convert them first on my real computer which pretty much makes the ipad useless
You should return your iPad Pro to Apple. I’m assuming you’re still within the return window since you just found out it won’t fit your current needs.
Not everything works with everything. But, I mean, it’s up to the manufacturers of those cameras to enable iOS support. Until then, you have to use something else.
A part of me agrees with your comment. I will be the first to say - use what works best for you. If Android has what you need and iOS doesn’t - it’s a no brainer. And anyone snarky about that is just acting silly.
A part of me disagrees a bit. The way a lot of people frame their needs and expectations is very subjective on one hand, but presented in a very objective way which may make the rest (us Apple fans) a bit silly. The OP said “I can’t use what I need....” (perfectly fine) - “which makes the iPad useless.” Erm, no. It’s not useless, it’s just useless for their usage case.
Now, I know, I know - they didn’t mean it’s useless for everyone, but with the tone of the post, I kiiiiinda see where the snark comes. Not really justifying it, but I get it. It’s about how certain messaging is framed on this forum, not what the messaging is. Maybe not the worst post.... but not the worst snark reply either
im caught in a mess i love apple hardware and love android os. last hardware i liked on a android was a nvida cpu/gpu
There are ways of using the camera with your iPad but you will have to change to another app.
There are very capable apps in the store.
If you do not want to change then your android device is your answer.

i have a Panasonic and jvc camcorder. both only seem to record in mts. i have a olpmpus it works but man what a crappy camera it is on of them mirrorless cameras but the video quailty isnt that great

ps i feel as i should say something good about ios i like that it updates more often. ive bought brand new android deices with a os that is 2 versions behind the main android
My cameras are Panasonic but I can select mp4, mov or avchd.
o id love if i could do that for real i buy the first camera i get it home and no luck at all. then i think to self there is no way another brand will not work to so i buy the jvc same dang issue.
Are these new cameras you are buying. Most decent cameras will allow you multiple formats to record in.
He needs to edit with that format and I don't believe that any app supports that; the best one, Lumafusion, does not. Viewing the video is certainly possible, e.g. with VLC.
I haven't tried this myself, but some people use the iOS app iConv to pull out the raw video codec from MTS and use with iMovie. For awhile, I couldn't even watch my MTS movies on my Mac without running a conversion utility on them, but finally, the MacOS supported MTS, so maybe there's hope with iOS in the future.

but..but..but did steve tell us "it just works" so he lied to us. what he really meant was it just works..well almost as good as android.
i wanna like this thing it is the most i ever spent on a tablet the cpu is what sold me. but it sold me becuase i thought it would be a video edit machine. i also wish it could run a version of super pi(its s prime numbers benchmark,ive ran on every computet i bought or built)
OP

Or you could wait till the OS is released in the fall. By then most apps would've caught up with the iPadOS
It's only in the beta now. A lot of apps are yet to conform with it
