A Resolve release that puts it in direct competition with the popular video editing application LumaFusion, courtesy of the impressive new iPad Pro M2 processor. According to Apple, the performance of the chip is increasing photo editing software and manipulation of 3D objects.
The company also stated that the M2 “expands on a new multimedia engine and image signal processor that, combined with advanced cameras, enable users to capture ProRes video for the first time and transcode ProRes material up to 3 times faster.”
Tablet Reference Mode helps photographers, videographers and operators to match and maintain color requirements across all projects.

The desktop version is available for free and without restrictions. However, professional video editors can upgrade to more advanced tools. And while there’s no word on iPad app pricing, we’d expect a similar (if not identical) layout.
