Just two weeks after the initial announcement, Apple’s final cut pro And logic pro The editing software has made landfall on select iPad models.
Both apps work similarly with some optimizations to their desktop counterparts so that they can take full advantage of the hardware. as stated in our previous coverageFinal Cut Pro will have a new jog wheel, making it easier to interact with the touch screen. This includes smoothly navigating the magnetic timeline and moving clips for videos. There is support for the Apple Pencil to enable Live Drawing so you can draw and write on top of content. moreover, final cut pro Allows multicamera editing on iPad so you can easily combine multiple angles into a single timeline.
related to logic proThe music editing software comes with multi-touch so you can use your hands to zoom in on tracks or scroll through them. Custom audio boards can be created with the help of plug-in tiles. All you have to do is drag the audio control plug-ins together like a puzzle. Apple Pencil support is here for “precision editing” as well.
Even some of the new features are not present on the desktop version. First, you have Beat Breaker, which lets “creators” reshape and shuffle sounds with a swipe of their finger or a pinch. There’s also Sample Alchemy for manipulating music samples with, as you can probably guess, just your finger.

Apps can do much more than what we’ve just described, but we think you get the picture. It doesn’t look like there will be any problem going from desktop to tablet. So, how can you buy them?
Both Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro are available through the App Store for $4.99 USD (£4.99 and $7.99 AUD) a month or $49 USD (£49 and $59 AUD) per year “with a one-month free trial”. As you can see, the iPad versions of these apps are much cheaper than the Mac ones. Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro will run $299.99 (£299.99/$499.99 AUD) and $199.99 (£174.99/$299.99 AUD) respectively.
Note that there are some limits. The software only works with select iPad models. To use Final Cut Pro, you must have either a 12.9-inch iPad Pro (5th or 6th gen), 11-inch iPad Pro (3rd or 4th gen), or iPad Air (5th gen) with iPadOS 16.4 or later Must be with For Logic Pro, the app will work on “any iPad with an A12 Bionic chip or later,” like the 7th generation iPad from 2019. The device should also be running iPadOS 16.4.
It’s worth mentioning that these two applications are rumored to be coming to Apple’s rumored VR headset. This information comes from notable industry insider Mark Gurman who claims that “there’s a very real possibility” they’ll be rolling out the headset at some point. Apparently, the xrOS platform can run iPad apps.
It is unknown whether this will actually happen or not, but our questions may soon be answered. The company’s big WWDC 2023 event will be held on June 5 in less than two weeks. We expect to see the long-awaited debut of Apple’s VR device, among other high-profile gadgets.
