Awesome breakdown, Jenn. If only they would have added the Audio Crossfades feature from the desktop version! 😔

I'm not sure why the Multicam option is not available on the desktop version of Final Cut on MacOSX but it is on the iPad. To me it seems it's much easier to control several iPhones and Multicam from a full on desktop version on a MacBook Pro.

Early days but it looks like itll get better with time.

Love the breakdown with real life examples. They’re really trying to build around the ipad app. This can really speed up content creation.
I personally don’t use iPad or iPhones for any project because of the small censor but this multicam feature is still pretty cool. Great work as always

You have a very knowledgable way of showing how things work. Just ran across your channel. I do agree with your issues with Final Cut Pro for iPad. As you say color correction workflow is vey clunky and I'm appauled the FC people did not catch it. Tom from NRH Texas.

Agree with your comments on limited to iOS devices. Would love to be able to add my Nikon Z7II and Osmo Pocket 3 to the mix. Still, this is a big step with us now able to take this into the field using only iOS devices

I could see using this for certain situations

The external drive access makes me think about getting the app. I have a 256GB M1 iPad and need external drive access.

Ugh!. The Final Cut Camera can’t connect to my new iPad Pro. Wi-fi and BT settings are correct, frustrating.

Been using Lumafusion for a few years and love the effects they offer. Is there a way to add more transitions to FCP on the iPad?

[rodriguezahr]

Now imagine If they one day give support to third party cameras ! 🎉😮

Great video! Watching from Puerto Rico. I suppose there’s no way to stream live to Facebook or any platform while using the new Final Cut Live feature?

How would your studio setup work outside the studio where only have Bluetooth? For example, if you are recording in a park. I think you mentioned that both WiFi and Bluetooth are needed to connect to your iPad.

Colour correction in multicam clips is difficult enough in the desktop version. The issues you highlight in your video make multicam an absolute no no for me in the iPad version.

[JimEdds]

Could you stream up to 4 cameras out the iPad at the same time like storm chasers do? Or just one feed at a time? Thanks Jen.

What is the overhead mount in the video?

[bobbirdwell]

I got the new M4 iPad Pro and a iPhone 15…but won’t be doing FCP on the iPad. Can I still record through those devices using the new app and edit through my FCP on my MacBook?

[razfilmstv]

My MacBook Pro will not receive new updates for some reason.

[djcvision]

For some reason, my iPhone is not showing up on my iPad. What do I need to do?

Why tell us about the new background and titles and color presets, but not show us? 7:02
