Leave a Review DaVinci Resolve for iPad
Crashes constantly
Do I love this editing app? YES! I love all the features and the transitions and titles especially… that said. I’m really reluctant to do a bigger project than 1 or 2 minutes since it simply crashes on constantly. Sometimes I lose work eventhough I manually save to not lose work that takes awhile. I am working on the iPad Pro M1. The app is lovely for all it can do… but to use it for a 20 or 30 minute and potentially lose all that work and investment… I’m concerned. I have edited in Lumafusion for a few years now. Tired of how long it takes LF to do updates but it’s FAR more stable for good basic editing even if the transition options are just …well, amateur by comparison. It’s better to have something with Lumafusion than nothing with Davinci crashing all the time. WISH I had answers to what is the problem… but so far haven’t been able to find those answers.Show lessAnd iMac

Recent update us full of bugs
I’ve spent a whole day on an edit and come back to everything being deleted and it crashing all the time… very very frustrating! If the desktop version is like this I’d rather use lumafusiontimothy john samuel ruffle
Fantastic. ALMOST as good as the desktop version!
This is THE BEST non-linear video editor for iPads. I have made many rims in this app. The desktop version is slightly better, only because there aren’t weird bugs in the ‘hidden pages’. To access these ‘hidden pages’, you need a keyboard. You press F3, F4, F5 etc. all the way to F7 and it puts extra pages on the bottom. This was (and still is) an absolute gamechanger. Even as it was (only Cut and Color) it is still a great NLE, but it really comes to life in the other pages (Media, Edit, Fusion, Fairlight and Deliver). Note that the other pages aren’t quite fully optimised for touch device yet, but they are still very usable and if you can’t work with your fingers in the other pages, you can use a keyboard and mouse like a Mac. One shouldn’t be ashamed about “almost as good as the desktop version” because iPads aren’t desktop computers and making an app this functional for an iPad is hard. One tip: You can delete the “DaVinci Resolve/CacheClip/“ folder can be safely deleted if you run low on storage.Show lessGiwbyAlbatross5
DaVinci Resolve - IPad
Have just discovered DaVinci Resolve and have found that the IPad version is brilliant for editing videos, adding photos and audio. There are so many you tube videos online that give a plethora of tutorials so you can learn an awful lot very quickly. Thoroughly recommend it to those who want more than just I Movie and Premiere Rush. And it costs nothing which is a bargain.Show lessRichie Mac 2
HEIC Photos not working
Ive enjoyed using the app, although it does have a pretty steep learning curve. There are certain things I hope the ipad version gets down the road, like being able to record audio from the fairlight? Tab, but the main issue I’m having right now is that all my HEIC photos are green, and messed up in a project that I've been working on for months. They were fine until recently, and when looking for answers I saw other people saying they are having the same issue on Mac as well, so not just an ipad issue. I have the studio version, but am pretty disappointed that one of the “features” that I paid to be able to use (HEIC photos I think are only in the studio version) isn't working, and with how much work it would take to convert all the photos, and re add them to the project makes this a pretty frustrating bug. I also saw someone mention on the resolve forums that this issue isnt a problem in the beta of V19, but I dont know when the update will be out of beta, let alone when that version might come to ipad. Other than the no audio recording, and this bug, I do think that resolve is the best app to edit videos on Ipad as of now. There are so many things you can do in resolve that no other app can do, just hope they continue to update, and refine the ipad version of resolve since its already great, but has so much potential to be the go to professional video editor on ipad.Show lessmeesterkrabz
Encounter bug
I use this tool to edit my three videos, the first two were fine, I like this software, but starting from the third video, I don’t know why when adding sound clips to the timeline, there is no waveform visible so I can’t hear anything. I have to close DaVinci and reopen it to make it play normally. Same problem also appeared when I cut a part of the sound clip, it is gone on the timeline, but when playing the video, I can still hear the music. Again, I have to close the tool and reopen it to make it play normally. I haven’t found any way to solve this yet. Very frustrated at the moment.Show lessLisaTheGirl000
In 20+ years this is my first app review.
In the 20 plus years and many thousands of dollars spent in the App Store, no program warrants such praise as BM DR. The fact that you can run the full program on an IPad was enough for me to make the jump at a time when money was questionable, going so far as to buy a maxed out iPad Pro. Liberating myself from the office desktop allowed me to see my 19 year film career in a different, less stressful light. The functionality of BM DR has truly allowed me to fall in love with this wild journey we call production yet again. Seriously, thank you.Show lessChubbsman
Great Editor but has a fatal flaw.
Great editor and provides a lot of tools for creating your project. I has a fatal flaw that other video editors do not have! I upgraded to the latest iPad Pro 13 inch and did the iPad to iPad setup when setting up the new iPad. I have 3 different video editors and 2 of them work flawless when bringing up on the new iPad.
DaVinci editor, came up but could not find anything other than it’s projects and stated it had broken links on each of the projects. You would think that would not be a problem since there is a button to resolve broken links. The button is next to worthless since it just brings up a file dialog window and YOU the user has to guess where DaVinci buried the file it need under layers and layers of folders.
I have searched both BlackMagic and the internet looking for a faster solution, with no resolve other than searching for each missing files.Show lessGeodov
Shortcuts
Love the app when I connect a Bluetooth keyboard and go into keyboard shortcuts to enable the missing pages,
Fusion, deliver etc,
Just wish there was a button to click without requiring a keyboard,
I use fusion and deliver a lot to render pro res video with alpha,
Would be 5 star without needing a keyboardShow lessgrandad-bob
