This is incredible on so many fronts. 5-10 years ago, I would choose my computer based on it's potential to edit video. A decade ago, most laptops couldn't handle the load of uncompressed video. 5 years ago, having iMovie on your Ipad allowed us to make sub <5 minute videos of low-res/processed files. Now we have an intersection of 1. an Ipad is powerful enough to handle this type of data processing and 2. BMD has fo…

How is iPad going to handle RAW 8k video? Its highest storage is small, good only for a scratch disk at best or for very short movies.

Now that mobile devices are getting this powerful, we need them to start supporting larger storage again.

Apple massively increased the price of the the entire iPad line-up in Europe. It's going to be interesting to see what impact it will have on Apple's earnings. Will Apple's goodwill make people accept the new prices or will Apple's brand take a hit for increasing the price in times where people are financially vulnerable?

Apple doesn't need Europe. The region it's included in is worth 19% of Apple's business, and that region includes the Middle East, India, and Africa. Europe might be 10% of the business, maybe a bit more, maybe less. Worth keeping in mind. They're quite able to wind down business in Europe if the alternative is being forced to build their devices in a way they don't want. Raising prices to match the extra cost of doi…

EMEA does not include India.

And the MEA is peanuts compared to the first E when you think about money available to spend.

(You edited your comment to oblivion, but because it was so embarassingly wrong, I don't blame you.) My original response: "close enough to a NLE"?? What the-- DaVinci Resolve has included a standalone non-linear editor since 2014. Today it has every major feature one would expect from a NLE-- with the noted exception of a lack of some codecs in the Linux version due to licensing issues, AAC being conspicuously one o…

> Since DaVinci Resolve is meant to run in CentOS, I've helped collaborate on a method for running it in a Linux container as well for anyone who might be interested: Soooooooooo interested, but sadly it seems NVidia-only. If Blackmagic would put some of their port-to-iOS muscle on a make-it-work-with-AMD team, it'd be useful to me. Alas, I have a knack for picking losers.

Only for lack of hardware to test it on. There is an open issue if you want to try your hand at getting it to work on non-NVidia, though it will run best on some kind of dedicated GPU due to the heavy graphics operations it does.

AFAIAC "nodes" are a feature of Resolve, not a bug.

In their place for sure, but I'm not sure how a node-based NLE would work.

As you mentioned, the nodes are used in Fusion and the Color page, where they belong, not in either timeline editor (Cut Page & Edit Page).

They are expandable now up to 40Gb/s per tech specs

Given that keeping prices the same would weigh down their earnings as well, since they're reported in dollars, the financial impact of this is not a simple thing to calculate.

Oh wow company makes $1,7b profit instead of $1,9b. The end is near. Capitalism is really a cancer when the only thing matters is growth growth and growth. The Facebook movie was really spot on with the "A million dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool? A billion" line

You could opt for consumer electronics from European companies instead.

Even when Resolve was only ever those two modules (and back then the edit was pretty basic) I thought it was incredibly good. DaVinci's dedication to publishing free (of charge) software is one of the few things keeping Adobe in check.

Slight nitpick, but Blackmagic is releasing the product for free. Before the acquisition, DaVinci would NEVER have released Resolve for free. At least based on their pricing models from decades prior.

What's your point? Resolve has been free for ages.

LumaFusion, aka the only way to edit professional video on iPad before this announcement, supports direct editing/ingestion and working directly on an external ssd. With USB-C and thunderbolt supported on the M1 ipads, the experience is basically, hook up your 4TB samsung external portal drive, and edit away. You don't need to copy the information onto the ipad itself. The export also goes to the external drive. If B…

LumaFusion is a fantastic app, but I do find it a bit fiddly to use sometimes - really precise edits are much harder than they should be. Looking forward to giving Resolve a go though.

NVIDIA Quadro FX SDI cards, ~2008-2020.

holy jeebus, i had never heard of this board. but a quick search found this bit of oddity: "DVI-to-DVI Connection Connect one end of the DVI cable to the DVI connector on the SDI Output card and the other end to the "north" DVI connector on the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600/5600 card as shown. The SDI output will not work if the cable is not connected to these two connectors." So it was an external pass thru type system that…

Yep, it was just to convert computer graphics into broadcast TV world. Probably powering a bunch of TV stations weather broadcasts for the next decade.
