## What is DaVinci Resolve for iPad?

DaVinci Resolve for iPad
DaVinci Resolve for iPad is the world’s only solution that combines editing and color correction in one software tool! Its elegant, modern interface is fast to learn and easy for new users, yet powerful for professionals. DaVinci Resolve lets you work faster and at a higher quality because you don’t have to learn multiple apps or switch software for different tasks. That means you can work with camera original quality images throughout the entire process. It’s like having your own post production studio in a single app! Best of all, by learning DaVinci Resolve, you’re learning how to use the exact same tools used by Hollywood professionals in high end post production studios!

Turn work around fast using cut page editing!
The cut page is perfect for projects with tight deadlines that you have to turn around quickly. It’s also great for documentary work. The cut page has a streamlined interface that’s fast to learn and designed for speed. Features such as source tape for visual media browsing, fast review, and smart editing tools help you work faster than ever. The sync bin and source overwrite tools are the fastest way to edit multi-cam programs, with easy to create perfectly synchronized cut aways! With DaVinci Resolve you’ll spend more time editing and less time hunting for shots.

Hollywood’s favorite color corrector!
The DaVinci Resolve for iPad color page is Hollywood’s most advanced color corrector and has been used to color and finish more high end feature films and television shows than any other system! It’s also approachable with features designed to make it easier for new users to get great results while they continue to learn the advanced tools. For example, primary control sliders will be familiar to anyone who’s used image editing software, making it easy to adjust contrast, temperature, mid-tone detail, saturation and more. The color page has an incredible range of primary and secondary color grading features including PowerWindows™, qualifiers, 3D trackers, advanced HDR grading tools and more!

Blackmagic Cloud Collaboration
DaVinci Resolve for iPad supports the revolutionary Blackmagic Cloud, a whole new way of collaborating using cloud based workflows. Simply create a Blackmagic Cloud ID and set up a project library for your project. You can assign any number of collaborators to a project, using Blackmagic Cloud to share projects. Multiple people can work on the same timeline! When changes are made, you can see and accept them, changes are only applied when you accept updates. A single click can relink files, update timelines, or view changes. Built in timeline compare tools let you merge changes into a master timeline so others can continue with edits.

AI Tools for Creativity with Studio In-App-Purchase
Upgrade to DaVinci Resolve Studio to get cutting edge AI processing powered by the DaVinci AI Neural Engine. Tools such as magic mask need only a single stroke to locate and track people, features and objects in a shot. You can make characters stand out in an under lit shot, or invert the mask and stylize the background. Smart reframe repurposes footage to dramatically different aspect ratios by recognizing the action in a scene and panning within it so you can quickly create square or vertical versions for posting to social media. Voice isolation lets you easily remove loud, undesirable sounds from interviews and dialogue recordings from noisy locations. AI tools create quick, accurate results saving you hours of time!

Compatibility
Recommended for use with Apple iPad Pro M1 or newer models with a minimum of 8GB of RAM. Earlier iPad models may be restricted to HD, and memory limitations may limit some features. DaVinci Resolve projects (drp) and project archives (dra) are fully compatible with DaVinci Resolve 20 on desktop. Supported file formats include H.264, H.265, Apple ProRes and Blackmagic RAW. Supports the Magic Keyboard, Apple Pencil as well as Studio and PRO XDR Displays.

### 3/5 — Exceptional app… until AI arrived

*2026-08-10, version 21.0.4*

I have been absolutely blown away with this app since I first downloaded it when it became available, roughly around DR 117/18. It worked SO well, never crashed, never had issues. That is until AI features arrived. This is to be said for the desktop and iPad version of the app. The last 3 builds have been riddled with bugs, which make the editing process superbly painful and I really am losing faith in the software, due to the addition of AI features. The errors surfaced as soon as DR 19, 20 and 21 introduced the mass AI features set, and to be honest I hate to leave a bad review, but seriously guys you are ruining this software something silly!! PLEASE please sort these bugs out :(

### 1/5 — pls update

### 2/5 — Currently bugged

*2026-08-08, version 21.0.4*

### 1/5 — Crashes extremely often, unusable

*2026-07-28, version 21.0.3*

I was happy to see that there was an app version of this software after using desktop version but this is so buggy it crashes every 4 seconds when you try to use it. Unusable and really disappointing.
