@MattsMacintosh, echoing what @SuperEnigmation commented on: are you able to edit video in 1080p using iMovie for the iPad? I surmise if that's possible, you'd need SSD storage large enough to hold HD video in the iPad.
I like dropbox better for exporting video I used it with my iPod for a school project and its faster then connecting via the 30pin cable to your Mac. I found it a better solution for a iMovie workflow.
I just bought an apple tv last night and i have an ipad 2 running on ios5. Could i simply pop in the camera connection kit along with my sd card and watch it straight on the apple tv without even bothering to import the videos to the ipad first? Thanks!
I personally really wish iMovie on the Mac was as simple as iMovie on the iPad, with extended options available incase they are needed. iMobie should be more approachable, as it is on the iPad. I don't see why they try to make it so complex, when anyone who wants to make professional videos will get Final Cut Pro.
Matt, you are awesome! I love to watch your videos and I check your YouTube channel everyday for new videos. I've noticed that in every one of your videos, you pronounce a word funny or jumble words together, like when you said "automamicly" in this video. I know that everyone does that sometimes, but when making a professional video like the ones you are so good at, please try to keep yourself from jumbling your words together. I hope I'm being helpful.
I think they should release Final Cut for iPad. Obviously not with all the features, but something slightly more advanced than iMovie for iPad. I'm glad this has been introduced though, I got a camera connection kit for my birthday yesterday.
@tombomdoodle I'm sure they'll update iMovie to be more functional rather than port over FCP to iPad. At least that would make more sense initially. When the iPad gets more processing power and so on down the road maybe we'll see the merging of more desktop based software optimised for tablets. There's still things you need the mouse and keyboard for though right now, and doing precision editing with FCP is one of them. The future will be interesting though!
@marlonsison I love it how Apple do seemingly "what the? why bother?" things, then things slowly slot into place and it makes complete sense. I'm betting this was a huge part of the reason you could easily import iMovie files to Final Cut Pro X for example. I just like how they gradually integrate everything together, it makes using their products all the more pleasurable. I wish other companies did this with their products. This is one reason Apple "wins". It's an ecosystem, not a sole device.
@MattJTV It all depends. I would say that if you are a heavy CS5 user Premiere Pro is the way to go because of the integration. Otherwise, I recommend FCP to most people. Both are really great and I don't think either would be a bad choice.
Great Video!! Matt I have a question. I am having a horrible time editing with Final Cut PRO X since I put lion in. I just started playing with Chroma keying. A 45 second 1080p 29.97 clip took a over 3 hours to render after applying the keying effect. If I tried to do anything else I would just get the beach ball so I left it till the job was done. Should it take that long? I have a iMAC 2.66 GHz i5 8 GB of 1067 MHz DDR3 ram.
@CallMeRitchie Sounds a bit odd, but it depends on your settings. It can take that kind of time to render out a few seconds of footage in a full feature length film on 12 core Mac Pro's or even render farms. Remember, while it may lack some features now, FCPX is still a pro editor and you can output insane quality footage from it, so I'd check your export settings to see if you've pumped the quality up a little higher than you really need. Using Compressor can help fine tune things too.
@chazzico Aye, there's a bunch of apps that make use of that kind of set up. Great for studio shoots and so on. Just keep on taking shots and shoot a JPG version of the image over to the iPad for near instant viewing on a larger screen. Terry White from Adobe showed off such a set up in one of his video podcasts, i forget the name of the app he used though off the top of my head.
My digital camera uploads video to iMovie on iPad just fine, but my video camera can't. Keep in mind that though DSLR cameras can record video, they are not TRUE video cameras. My video camera works with Final Cut Pro and iMovie on the Mac, but won't transfer video to iMovie on the iPad.
@EPS5000 Many modern DSLR's are very competent video cameras to be fair. A lot of serial TV shows are shot using them for location shots outdoors for example. They're also brilliant for using the depth of field effect without the need for the more expensive easier to break lenses you'd require for the dedicated video cameras. They're also more popular for scenes where the camera may potentially be destroyed and for tight spots. Also a lot of video cameras use DSLR sensors these days too.
@TalesOfWar Yeah the thing about DSLR's is that you can make it seem more cinematic for a fraction of the price. If one were to do general home movies then a camcorder would be good but for film students, like myself, and other people who have hobbies in artistic filmmaking (as opposed to just Michael Bay type sequences!) then DSLR's are a great way to go (Loving my 600D!).
@TalesOfWar I still hold firm the belief that DSLR cameras aren't true video cameras. So let's agree to disagree. Also, a lot of filmmakers that switched from analogue to digital video cameras use RED. RED cameras can do the work of older, more expensive, cameras for a fraction of the cost (around $10,000). I don't know too many professional filmmakers that would even consider using a camera whose primary function is taking pictures (i.e., DSLR cameras)
@EPS5000 DSLR's are quite popular among documentary makers an TV show makers, for the outdoor stuff like I said before. They're a good deal cheaper than a RED camera and fit in more places so you have a higher selection of possible shots. Full on films, nope, not as common, but stuff made for TV is an area where they're gaining a lot of traction, not to mention folk on YouTube. As you see from Matt's work you really can produce something of quality.
I have been seriously considering weather to save up for an iPad or a MacBook and this answers my question, the only thing which held me back from buying the iPad was the fact that you couldn't edit and import external footage, I think I will wait for the next generation iPad, just so it will be a little more powerful then get it! Thank you so much for sharing this Matt!
