And Davinci Resolve's Edit page (I don't know why the ggp says it's not an NLE).

It's an nle like after effects is one. It's not not an nle but it's roots are elsewhere so because of that, it's hard to see it as one, despite advances in the software.

What do you think the Edit page and the Cut page are?

sounds like hardened political rhetoric to me and classical capitalist realism - no place for that here

If you can find evidence of a different system that’s come anywhere close to raising living standards of ordinary citizens nearly as much, I’d love to hear about it. And no, China doesn’t have a communist economy, pretty much everything productive about China is capitalist.

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

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.

If you have a camera that shoots RAW 8k video, I'd wager you aren't using an iPad to edit on.

Yes, but you might be using an iPad to take your rushes and throw together a quick assemble right there on set, "there that's how it'll look", and even import the timeline into your proper project.

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.

Asking for a friend who is amateur, how does this compare to LumaTouch’s LumaFusion?

It's a full-blown editing, VFX, and grading package, used for some really heavy-duty productions. If you don't want to edit larger than 4k resolution, the free-as-in-beer version does nearly everything else that the paid-for one does. The paid-for one is about 200 quid.

The training materials (I've linked to them below) are second to none, not just for video editing tools but for any software I've ever seen. Have a look at them - there are some training videos and several very comprehensive books backed up with high-quality sample material.

On a PC, you'll need a decent graphics card but I managed with a Core i5-4570, 16GB of RAM, and a GT1030 - I am a patient man, though, and don't mind kicking off a render and going for a cup of tea with a good book.

Dig through the training material:

Scary new technology that wasn't around back in the day. Grandpa Simpson said it best: "I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!"

As long as folks don't think it's an NLE, because that's the one thing it isn't. (Even though half of its users try to use it for that, get stuck, post on the forum, and then get the other half yelling at them because "it's not an NLE". 17 and 18 took things in the right direction, but it's still going to take a few more versions before people giving it a shot because they think it's a free Premiere or After Effects…

Can you provide some context as to why it's not a NLE? Everywhere i've seen it talked about it's described as an NLE

I don't think it is the tool for the job

I don't think it is the tool for that job, but for footage acquired on the iPad it will do just fine thank you very much. The iPads are being used for shooting way more frequently than I'd have given credit, until I realize that if an iPad was available back when I was unable to afford other equipment, I'd have used the hell out of it too. We shot the shit out of VHS=>SVHS=>Hi8=>Digi8=>DV/MiniDV as if it were film. N…

I was talking about the specific thing I responded to. 8k RAW video on a device without the storage for it. But I'm sure there are proxies possible.

You can likely find some out of touch people to proselytize to somewhere else on this thread.

This is nice but any serious video editor would use a Macbook instead no? Why bother with this version?

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 some of that, but how many have all, especially without peripherals? How comfortable is it to use while standing, or while walking around? How good's your laptop at replacing a scanner? Reading PDFs or ebooks while on the go?)

The more things i-devices can do well-enough that were previously desktop- or laptop-only means more times you don't need to have both devices to be able to do all the things you want to do.

It's harder to go the other way (making laptops/desktops good at the things tablets are good at—most of those require adding more, expensive hardware, and changing or hybridizing the form factor) so the trend is in the direction of making tablets more and more capable.
