Last Thursday, I streamed a live test of Apple’s new release of Final Cut Pro for iPad for about 2 hours, covering:
- learning the interface
- marking Ins/Outs while importing
- fine edits with the jog wheel
- workflow considerations,
- and much more
Overall, I added 90 chapter markers at each significant moment in the stream, so jump into the video and skip around to the bits that you’re interested in watching – I had some genuine moments of joy while discovering new features, like this one:
