Right now I am traveling in Turkey.
Since I got the Pocket, I always edited my video when I returned from the trip.

However this time, I want to try editing while on trip. But I don’t want to bring my laptop so instead brought my iPad.

I never used LumaFusion before but since it is highly praised, I wanted to give it a try.

First 30 mins was frustration but afterward was smooth. I end up finishing some simple clip within the 4 hours bus ride.



It is still rough around edges but end up not bad. I should try use it more.

Hello and good day Tide. This video footage you have captured in Istanbul, Turkey is amazing. Wonderful work and two thumbs up.

Nice video, great job

Nicely done, wonderful video

Nice video, great job

Thanks for watching.

Thanks Stephan.

You are very much welcome Tide. Have a safe and happy filming always.

Thanks for doing this. I got Lumafusion and am thinking about picking up an iPad to do video editing on the go. How well did the iPad gen5 handled 4K files (was thinking about getting a iPad Pro but it's quite expensive) and what did you use to transfer the file from the OP to the iPad?

P.S. Is Lumafusion easy to get into as a beginner? I'll start watching tutorial video on YouTube ;-P

LumasFusion is a great editing software.  I'm an Android guy and bought an iPad just to use this software.  You will enjoy it the more you use it.

Editing on a bus, and using ipad instead of laptop, seems a bit difficult to do. However, the work is nice. Thanks for sharing!

iPad 5th gen handles pocket’s 4K 24P high quality setting files brilliantly.

When I edited several clips on timeline, playback is very smooth yet in some clips, when playing through one clip to another, image stuck still until you pause and play or playback move through to next clip.

I am not sure it is only for a certain files or it is lack of power of iPad 5th gen or bug in LumaFusion. Out of about 20 clips I used only 2 clips have this problem.

About file import, Mimo app is not officially support iPad 5th gen and it cannot import 4K video at any frame rate. (Official support is from 6th gen)

So I use OTG dongle and iUSB app.

Something like this.

This app can read files from micro SD card and share it directly to LumaFusion.
I tested up to 4K 60P and imported without a problem.

If you are gonna get a iPad, I recommend 6th gen and above as they have apple pencil support.
For screen size, 9.7” screen was comfortable enough for me.

Thanks for the detailed reply, I do usually travel with a fairly powerful laptop on long trips but the iPad setup maybe good for short trips.

Nice job on the video.  LumaFusion ROCKS!

A huge recommendation right there
Except the file transfer, it is very enjoyable experience.

Now only if they update warp stabilization...

I think they are going to add it soon.  They are always looking into recommendations from their users

It is not an easy task but certainly enjoyable.

Nice job on the video.  LumaFusion ROCKS!

It certainly is.

Looks nice.
And good to have that option when on the road!

This is encouraging!  I recently got an iPad Pro and LumaFusion, and I'm going on holiday soon.  I'm planning to edit a few short videos with it while I'm gone.

Nicely done - thanks again for sharing!

That would be great!
Utilizing iPad GPU would make a fast stabilization.

That would be the perfect scenario.
iPad is surprisingly good at handling 4K editing.
