One of the biggest requests that iPad users have been making to the Cupertino company for years is that it has truly professional applications to use the iPad as that new computer. One of these apps is Final Cut Pro, the video editor for professionals from the Cupertino company. Well, in this post we will tell you the possible reasons why this program is not available for the iPad.
Possible reasons
Apple has been trying for a long time to focus on the iPad being that new computer for the vast majority. The reality is that it has tremendous potential for this, in fact, it is already one of the most advisable options for a certain sector of users who use their computer for really basic tasks. However, there is another more demanding public that is still not capable of making the iPad their new computer, largely due to the lack of truly professional applications, such as Final Cut Pro. The question that many video editors who want using the iPad as a work tool is, why hasn’t Apple released this application for the iPad? Here are some of the possible reasons.
- Apple may not want to cause the iPad to cannibalize the public that currently buys a spec-laden Mac in order to do audiovisual editing.
- Final Cut Pro is not just any editor, in fact it is the application that the Cupertino company has thought, designed and developed for video editing professionals, therefore, it is possible that the target audience of this application does not have in the iPad enough requirements to be able to carry out those production tasks.
- The existence of video editing applications on the iPad may be another reason why Apple has not wanted, for the time being, to release Final Cut Pro for iPad, since until now, the best alternative that was LumaFusion was only available for iPad. In this way, it is possible that Apple wants to take care of developers and is not interested in competing in certain sectors.
- The vast majority of video editors that use Final Cut Pro on the Mac also use different plugins that are compatible with this application, something that they probably couldn’t enjoy on the iPad from the start, so the experience they have with it right now Apple computer could not have it with this computer.
Will it come one day?
The reality is that there have been many years in which the rumor that Final Cut Pro could reach the iPad has been hanging around the Cupertino company, however it never comes true. One of the movements that may lead Apple to finally announce it is the recent launch of LumaFusion for more operating systems , so that, once the exclusivity of this application is broken with the iPad, the Cupertino company could consider it.
What there is no doubt about it is that already, both the iPad Pro and the iPad Air have enormous potential that at the software level Apple is not knowing or wanting to take advantage of, at least for the moment, who knows if at the next WWDC to be held next June, the Cupertino company makes this wish come true for so many users.
