wengrow & graeber's recent research shows plenty of evidence (post discovery of agriculture and well beyond dunbar's number), that's a good place to start with your question. tangentially, mark fisher is also good for unpacking what you've said

Thanks for pointing me to wengrow & graeber. I've not read the book, but went through the summary on wikipedia which seems pretty good. It's interesting and I don't have any problem with the claims or conclusions in the summary, butI don't really see how it critiques capitalism. It talks about the fact that progress isn't linear and that societies don't inevitably become more hierarchical, and I agree that seems righ…

their book dawn of everything connects the dots to capitalist realism and graeber's earlier books cover related territory. they would disagree with some of your conclusions. it's a great read and the complete opposite of fukuyama's end of history argument

mark fisher doesn't deny economy, he takes a materialist perspective on it. his book 'capitalist realism' is probably a good starting point (i've only read his other works, that one is supposed to be a concise read of his thesis)

cheers for taking the time to broaden your perspective

The biggest reason would be the portability. If you are on a plane, using an iPad is often much easier than a full laptop.

List of people color grading hollywood movies on their ipad during plane flights:

Not Hollywood, but professional Youtuber's and journalists edit their videos on planes. MKBHD comes to mind.

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.

I've seen a lot of students serious about video editing switching from (typically pirated) Premiere Pro to Resolve as the free version got better and better. One student told me his high school filmmaking class was switching from FCP to Resolve so that everyone could easily work on their projects at home. It's pretty much the only freeware professional editing suite available - and if some of those students later wor…

People have switched to Resolve due to it having a BETER workflow then FCP or Premier. Personally I jumped on the bandwagon due to Linux. The big difference maker for Resolve was when it became an editor. It was THE STANDARD for color correction for over a decade.

Web publishing aside:

Why do sites like this totally neglect the page title and meta attributes for sharing in social media such as Open Graph?

At bare minimum, why not include Blackmagic Design Announces DaVinci Resolve for iPad in the element?

I checked the page with Facebook’s Sharing Debugger and found:

Pretty incredible this can come out before Final Cut Pro for iPad.

I think this shows that Final Cut Pro on iPad was never really in the cards. Furthermore, Apple is using this Davinci Resolve release in their own marketing materials. I love Final Cut Pro, but as time goes by it seems like it's headed the way of Aperture, after competitors like Adobe Lightroom took over the marketshare - cancellation. Especially when other developers are creating great software like Resolve and Luma…

For some things, you need a "real" computer. For some things, you need a tablet ("LOL what could that possibly be?" Oh, I dunno, does your laptop have multiple very-high-quality cameras built-in with all kind of fancy depth-sensors and AR-related hardware, an accelerometer, et c.? GPS and/or cell radio? Touch & drawing input? Stupid-high idle battery life, with near-instant-on from any level of sleep? Sure, some have…

It wouldn't be such a concerning trend if Apple was simply a really good hardware vendor. Instead, the iPad is a toll-road with a 30% tax that goes straight to Apple. If they gave iOS alternate app stores or even just opened the iPad bootloader (as we know is fully possible on M1), people wouldn't be shifting in their seats as much. Instead, Apple is innovating in one hand and extorting in the other, and then pretend…

not talking about the ipad version, obviously

Then what's the relevance of the comment about stability? This thread is about the coming iPad version. It's reasonable to assume you're talking about it (or confused and in the wrong place), given that's the topic of the submission. Desktop video editors are notoriously unstable (assuming since you didn't specify). It's probably not the same codebase, and it'll be operating under clearer constraints the developers c…

yeah okay

just saying the desktop version crashed after launching it

hope it's fixed now

in the mean time, I can use avidemux and other things to do simple video editing

I'm very sorry if my irrelevant comment upset you

OK, iPad Pro has something like 4k-5k video camera, which produces a lot of RAW data anyway (assuming software can access RAW feed with some lossless compression applied), so the problem is still there unless you want to prepare videos with ugly artifacts from compression.

iPad Pros can have 2TB onboard and hook up to external storage just fine. There isn’t much difference between that and the average laptop. That said 90% of users are probably going to be working with compressed 4k video because they don’t notice the difference and it saves time.

Does the 2TB model have any additional bells and whistles? The difference to the base model is 1300€, which is almost as much as just buying an "average laptop".

The apple website does not mention anything, but that cannot be right. ?

I genuinely think you've never used an NLE, or Resolve.

Odd thing to just go and declare without any actual evidence to guide your thinking process, so: you are genuinely about as wrong as can be.

Okay, then why do you think that Resolve is not an NLE? Have you ever used it?

What do you think the Cut page is? What do you think the Edit page is?

It's not just "an" NLE, it has two slightly different kinds of NLE.
