What are the odds that the new iPad Mini 7th gen will run Final Cut?

Now has got to be the time right? I will never switch from Adobe Premiere unless I can run Final Cut on the Mini. Im not a fan of DaVinci Resolve, so if I am going to use Lumafusion on my Mini, I will just stay with Premiere on the Mac.

Apple loves selling subscriptions so I’ll put the odds at 100%.

Given that they want to push the Pro angle of the software and the iPad Mini is not currently described as a Pro device, I think less than 10%

I’m old? I can barely use video editing on a 15" laptop screen and quickly rush to my desktop Mac Studio as soon as I am near it.

Can’t fathom editing on a 13" iPad, or smaller.

And that is ignoring all the differences of using a touch-first sheet of glass versus a computer with proper input devices.

(Not about the actual NLE or pricing/licensing, just questioning the utility of an iPad as an edit station for any serious work. Ok, I will fully admit I do not edit TikTok, Reels, Shorts, or any other fad video.)

Apple did it. I bought it. Traded in my iPad Pro 11" (2018) and gave away my Ipad Mini 6.

Movie studio in my man purse.

iPad 7 is not as purple-ly as iPad 6. @RosemaryOrchard was this the case for you also?

It’s less purple and less fun. 6th gen vs 7th gen from Apple’s Newsroom. 7 is using iPad Air’s washed-out and boring colours, all of which border on looking gray. :roll_eyes:

Yes, I put them side by side when mine arrived. Apple really sucks at colors.
