I have a 13 inch IPad Pro with the M4 processor, fully updated. I have allowed all permissions, and am unable to reliably record anything either to the local storage or an external drive. It seems that recording at 720p takes longer to crash than 1080p. Sometimes the clip saves, but usually it just crashes, leaving me with the error I referenced above.
The does not work for ipad 10th generation I used multiple usb c adapters to convert the el gato and I never got a signal.
I can’t use this anymore - it’s too unstable and crashing with the same OSStatus error others are reporting. I am having this error whether I’m saving to Photos, iCloud Drive, or On My iPad. Sometimes it happens after 5 seconds, 5 minutes, 15 minutes. I’ve verified my Security settings are set to allow all of this access, yet this still crashes. Unfortunately this leaves me with no other choice than to use other apps as it’s blocking me proceeding with my project.
Absolutely nothing works. It gives an error whenever you try recording more than two seconds worth (OSStatus error -12743). This happens if you save to the iPad directly or on an external device (both APFS and exFAT). If you do listen back to the no-more-than-two-seconds of a video that does save, there is no audio. The pass-through audio also doesn’t work. Setup asks you about audio input but that setting is not respected. Running on an M1 iPad Pro
How come the 4K60 S+ is not compatible
Need to be able to record microphone and elgato at the same time. I game and the elgato audio captures my Xbox but I cannot capture my microphone I also have hooked up to the m4 iPad. If I open the Xbox app and try to use the microphone on there at the same time the elgato app is open, the elgato app instantly crashes everytime until the microphone is not in use on any other app including voice memos
It works amazing as intended for this iPad, but when it comes to using legato Chat Link pro, I had to use my MacBook Pro to change settings from hdmi to analog for it to work for both MacBook and iPad. That feature should be added to this app as well instead of using a pc to do it.
I love how easy everything is on the app but we are missing features and one of the most crucial features we dont have is the ability to record HDR like the PC app does, for that reason alone I will give this 4 stars and if they ever do HDR recording on the ipad then I bump it to a 5 star rating!
I wanted to record my video game consoles (eg. Wii U), and my laptop isn’t capable at recording at 1080p 60 FPS. Then I remembered that iPads can record over USB-C, and I downloaded this app. I recorded the gameplay to a external SSD, which is connected to an inexpensive USB-C dock. Since I have a M1 iPad Air, the footage came out great! Thanks Elgato!
As a videographer, this is a game changer! Make sure you have a Thunderbolt 3 or higher in order to unlock all resolution the app allows. Ran into one issue where i have to reset the recording destination to the downloads folder every time I open the app. Very small issue compared to the positives. Thank you Elgato!!!!
