Tune into this week’s podcast episode in which Nino explores the professional capabilities of iOS and iPadOS, focusing on the new iPad Pro with the M4 chip and Final Cut Pro for iPad. He also talks about a review Johnnie did on the TEAMGROUP T-CREATE CinemaPr P31 Portable SSD, and much more. Wait until the end to get more info on MZed’s Summer Sale that ends on July 4!

In the latest episode of our CineD podcast “Focus Check”, Nino discusses whether iOS and iPadOS are ready for professional use, focusing on the new iPad Pro with Apple's M4 chip and its performance with Final Cut Pro for iPad. Despite the iPad Pro's impressive hardware, such as its excellent OLED screen and innovative wireless connectivity for live streaming from iPhones, iPadOS's limitations still hinder its full potential for professional workflows.

The iPad Pro's screen quality is the best Nino has seen, and emphasizes its bright OLED display. However, he pointed out significant software limitations, like the absence of background processes and a restricted file system, which prevent the device from fully supporting professional editing and multitasking.

In the podcast, Nino also reviewed industry updates, including the DaVinci Resolve 19 public beta. This update features live sync from cameras, allowing editors to work on footage while it’s being recorded, thus streamlining workflows using Blackmagic Cloud.

Additionally, as you may know, we enjoy reviewing filmmaking tools for you - this week, Johnnie put the TEAMGROUP T-CREATE CinemaPr P31 Portable SSD to the test. Also, Nino talks about the Ignite DGX’s control deck for DJI transmission, which enhances camera operator control.

FUJIFILM announced firmware updates for several cameras, adding new film simulations and improving functionality, showing their ongoing support for existing products.

Stay tuned until the end to learn about big discounts on MZed’s educational content, especially the DaVinci Resolve 18.5 course that offers comprehensive training for aspiring filmmakers.
