DaVinci Resolve for iPad

A great mobile editing app. Unfortunately, it doesn’t support nearly enough codecs that the M processors can handle. Could really use r3d and arriraw support. Adding that would be a 5 star rating.

I was hoping to use this app in the airport but for some reason it doesnt import footage from an external drive. It recognizes the drive and lets you select the media but it never imports. The app just sits there as if you didnt select anything.

Title says it all, but i’ll go into further detail. i’ve been trying to use Davinci for a little while now, and every single time i do basically anything, it crashes. all it takes to crash the app is a singular image file and one, count ‘em, ONE. transition. i’ve tried the “delete the app and re-install it” thing. still crashes. I don’t know what the problem is, but it’s really getting on my nerves. i genuinely can’t get any work done in the app cause it crashes before i can do anything. I’ve seen one review that said they lost 2 hours of progress because the app crashes, but i can’t even get two *minutes* of work done because it crashes the second i breath a little weird. 🙄

Having Used DaVinci Resolve for a few months now for my occasional video editing needs (and partially because I didn’t want to subscribe to Apple’s $50 a year for Final Cut Pro on iPad), I can say that I love how powerful this app is, but I hate how limiting and bug-prone it is. Though it does everything I could ever hope for a free version of a video editor to do, it doesn’t seem to play nicely on iPad in General. I’ve had move operations get ruined because I tried to drag and drop a clip too close to the edge of the screen, I’ve been kicked to the Home Screen every time I try to switch between the edit screen and the colors screen, and the big kicker - this app doesn’t seem to know how to play nice with AirPods. I’ve had to close and reopen the app several times and manually re-pair my AirPods to my iPad because it randomly decides to either stay silent, blast loud deafening static into my ears, or blare the audio out of the iPad’s speakers instead. I don’t regret giving this a try, but after I finish my current project, I’m going to try out Final Cut Pro on iPad just to see if it’s worth the recurring upfront cost.

I want you to blow it fullscreen when i connect to my monitor to feel like a computer. Thanks.

I really enjoy using DVR for iPad. I would like to see all of the pages available as they are within the desktop version. Users should have the ability to add IO’s to audio tracks in Fairlight since iPads now support audio interfaces. This would make adding ADR to projects easier and more convenient while on the go. It would also help streamline workflows without being confined to a desktop. Other than that, I am really pleased with what BlackMagic Design continues to accomplish and do for the industry. Keep up the great work.

Sometimes audio gets muted and i have to restart the whole app.

Please fix editing spline graph I’m unable to edit the graph on iPad

I bought an iPad Pro specifically because of DaVinci Resolve, so I could edit more conveniently. Yet after two years, you still haven’t added the Edit page. Since I don’t have a physical keyboard, I’m forced to use the virtual keyboard or connect an external one to access that page. Every time I exit the app or it crashes, the page resets, and I often don’t have access to a keyboard to bring it back, causing a major inconvenience. Everyone is aware of Apple’s restrictive policies, but at least add the Edit page alongside the other two to make the experience complete.

This app crashes often, even when just doing simple edits, such as adding markers. While using it today (on my 12.9-inch M2 iPad Pro), the crashes occurred every 15 minutes. I would never trust the iPad version of this app to do serious work. But it’s a free app, so I guess it’s another example of “you get what you pay for”.
