NEEDS iPad OS 16 or later; A12 Bionic chip or later

The app is equal parts video editor and colour-grading suite

Blackmagic’s DaVinci Resolve has been a staple of the TV- and movie- editing industries for some years  and now the company has brought it to the iPad. You’ll need an iPad with an A12 Bionic chip or later but this does cover models as far back as the first 11-inch iPad Pro, third- generation iPad Air and also the fifth-generation iPad mini.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the app has been optimised for the much more powerful M1- and M2-chip models, and on pre-M series iPads you will face certain limitations such as topping out at HD resolution rather than Ultra HD. Due to memory constraints, older models might also struggle with larger projects. That said, on a 2018 iPad Pro, performance was excellent and didn’t feel like it was struggling to keep up. Renders often happened in real time and, when they didn’t, they were swift to complete.
