- Plugins, with Vendors ensuring their plugins work on mac using Apple Silicon Architecture, why are they not available on the iPad ?- Lack of Titles, Backgrounds etc that exist on the Mac not available on the iPad- Colour Grading, fine to get started on the iPad. Will need to move to the Mac for fine grained control- Trying to establish a workflow for moving from Mac to iPad and back for Final Cut Projects, hopefully this improves soon.- Works quite well on M1 iPad Pro… Early days yet though.Still, very very happy to have this working on the iPad for on the go work.

Forced against will into subscription model again
IMO_2000
It seems as though there are no outright options for people who don’t want to go on a subscription model. Disappointing that after spending over $5,000 on Apple devices in last 12 months they want even more money for services which could be one-off purchases.
FCP crashes after trying to subscribe
Ilyasch
I have the latest iPad Pro. When trying to subscribe to FCP after opening it, message says Loading, then you get the wheel of death which disappears after a while and nothing happens. Tried installing latest iPadOS 16.5, restarted the device and reinstalled FCP but to no avail.Very unfortunate as I have to edit an urgent project beyond iMovie’s capabilities and my computer is out for repair. I’ve extensive experience with FCP and now I have to learn to use Da Vinci in a hurry. Not good, Apple.
