Apple just announced that Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro will soon be available on your iPad. Both apps will be available via subscription for $4.99 a month or $49 a year. According to Apple, both apps should be in the App Store beginning Tuesday, May 23rd.
Final Cut Pro will be redesigned around the iPad, with touch-based interfaces and enhancements that Apple claims will make workflows even more intuitive for creators. A new jog wheel makes the editing process easier than ever and enables users to interact with content seamlessly. Other features, such as Magnetic Timeline or move clips, allow you to make fast frame-accurate edits with just the tap of a finger, and with the immediacy and intuitiveness of Multi-Touch gestures.
Another major new feature is Live Drawing, which allows users to draw and write directly on top of videos with an Apple Pencil. Those who have an iPad Pro with M2 will also be able to hover over a video and quickly scrub and preview footage without ever touching the screen.
Logic Pro will be receiving many of the same quality of life improvements, as well. It will have a completely redesigned Multi-Touch interface that also hosts a bunch of new features such as an all-new sound browser that uses dynamic filtering to help users discover sounds like available instrument patches, audio patches, plug‑in presets, samples, and loops in a single location. Users can also tap to audition any sound before loading it into a project to save time and stay in their creative flow.
Built around the Multi-Touch interface, yet another feature called Plug-in Tiles put the most useful controls at the creator's fingertips, making it easy to quickly shape sounds. Thanks to the iPad's built-in mics, users can capture voice or instrument recordings, and with five studio-quality mics on the iPad Pro, users can turn virtually any space into a recording studio. Creators can also make precision edits and draw detailed track automation with the Apple Pencil and connect a Smart Keyboard Folio or Magic Keyboard to utilize key commands that speed up production.
Apple will also be offering a one-month free trial that will be available for both apps. What are your thoughts on today's announcements? Let us know in the Comments section, below. Be on the lookout for more in-depth coverage once we're able to spend more hands-on time with the iPad versions of these apps.
