A bit of a shift back to some more content on creative tools this week - Let me know: What's missing from the list and what's the most important app you use for getting your productive creativity on!? Thanks pals.
This recommendation might be life changing information and I always pay for a yearly membership for the Adobe collection…thank you. I will try them out, haven’t heard of Affinity Designer before
Affinity apps are simply more intuitive, and therefor, more powerful in day to day usage than Adobe. That doesn’t even start to consider the ridiculous/absurd cost differential.
Affinity by far the best in regards Adobe alternative just wish they had monitor support in regards to working, it only shows the project as you work on the IPad. And also if you are considering getting an older version like the 8th generation stage manager won’t work. M1 and higher only smh😢
Bear notes app. And Darkroom photo editor. Two apps that in my opinion deserve to be on any iPad app list. Would love to hear your thoughts on these. Thanks.
Awesome job Simon. I’m sure Better Creating is going to become a massive channel in the near future. PixelMator Pro is also a great app to replace Lightroom by the way.
@@FlorianBeaufreton Great stuff - will check out more of your stuff too. :) I’m waiting on news about some development funding for the podcast: hoping to make it a bit more strategically with a first short series maybe. So could be v soon, could be a while. Let’s see! Have some interesting people lined up to talk to thou. 👍 stay in touch
@@FlorianBeaufreton ps. Have you considered creating subtitles in English? My French is average to say the least! And would love to be able to watch with the cc’s on! :)
Subbed straight away, man!!!! After watching your other app videos. Fab channel. Just had my iPad Pro for all the things you describe. Fabulous work, man. Thank you.
@@BetterCreating Awesome knowledge being shared. I’ve ramped up my ability to utilise the iPadPro within an hour or two because of your tutorials. Big love, mahn!
Thanks pal. For this one I was using a fuji xt4 with some adapted canon FD lenses. So the BROLL was shot on a Canon FD SSC 55mm F1.2 (gorgeous) and the main footage i think was the 24mm f2.8. Mostly using the 16-55 f2.8 fuji lens at moment when want to just use the auto focus! Thanks for watching. :)
10 days can't decide what to buy, MBP or Ipad and after this video i sad "fuck it" Ipad will it be. I don't care about file system , what needs to be done is easy.
Hi Simon I love your videos, they are so helpful. Can you tell me what mirrorless camera you use to shoot your video? Any suggestions on buying my first camera for TH-cam videos?
Thanks! Yeah I use a Fuji xt4 with their 16-55 f2.8 premium lens. I also have a set of adapted manual focus canon fd Ssc vintage lenses I use for BROLL that have great filmic character. Fuji is a great camera if you like photography too and messing with settings manually (can’t beat the colours!) - but I would say Sony are a great bet for reliable auto focus for regular self filming. APSC sensors are a good middle ground to start with if you don’t want to pay tons on full frame lens and bodies. Good luck!
This has just made me want to upgrade my ipad! And very excited to try these new apps out to help my Artwork and photography page! Really good explanation of everything!
Yeah, a shame: it’s quite old video now - might be time for an update. :) Email me at hello@bettercreating.com with what’s on your mind if you like. Thanks
I just want to add VN video editor to this list. It is free (has ads, but not a lot) and its quite feature packed (you can do most stuff you’d want out of a pro video editor, including some color grading, chroma key, speed modification, overlaying videos/photos, etc. And its FAST on an ipad pro. If you are not a pro-level video editor editor, you can get away with using it instead of Luma fusion (Luma is still the best option for ipad tho, but its pricey).
I personally love an app called Endless paper because you can very easily use it for brainstorming since it stretches endlessly in any direction and you can zoom in many times to write like a text inside of a text inside of a text and so on if you need that for some reason. You can also use it for really cool drawings where there is like a painting inside a painting.
Thanks for sharing these wonderful tips. I use Notion on my iPad but find that the font size when using the app is rather small for viewing. How do you increase the font size ?
SUBSCRIBED from Japan! Cheers for all the Info. I edit all my videos on iPad and just started shooting using only my iPhone. Really impressed with how it all works. I'm still in the process of trying to create Subtitles using Lumafusion, so if you got any tips on that would be AMAZING!
I’ve purchased Mojo after your recommendation. I’m gradually getting rid of my much larger PC for this lightweight M1 iPad Air. I already had LumaFusion, and use the iPad exclusively now to make content for social media. One thing I can’t figure out how to do is export text graphics from Mojo with a transparent background. Is it just with chromakeys, or is there a way to remove the background?
@@BetterCreating Thank you! I was wondering how you did it. I’m subbed now and will get notified when you’re coming out with more content :) The Mojo hack is awesome, and can’t wait to see what else you’ve got coming (maybe DaVinci Resolve for iPad)!
Thanks for the video, and the next what I will say is not about you, but just about overall situation with all the apps nowadays. Why its all frucking subscriptions now. 60$ for this, 50$ for that, 30$ for few other things (for a year subscription). I get it, money, but is it really a good strategy for long-term income for those companies? Why I can just buy a procreate, but I should pay 55$ a year for a calendar?
Totally agree! The subscription model was just introduced to a teleprompter app I use - started as a one off payment - I’ve used it happily for years and now they stopped access to the old model and want £4 a month… come one!
Hi Simon. Thanks for great content! Do you have or can you make a «step-by-step-how to» about handwriting on greenscreen in ProCreate importing to LumaFusion? I have written in GoodNotes5 on black canvas and importen to LumaFusion - but that is really not working as well as you did here 😂 All the best from Norway 😊
Just drop a bright green back ground on the procreate or GoodNotes page and write on top of it! Simple! Then you can use the chroma key function in Luma to key it out.
I use a fuji Xt4 with various lenses - mostly 16-55 2.8 from fuji, but also a set of adapted manual focus adapted canon FD ssc vintage lenses (55mm 1.2 is my favourite). Rode mics, neewer LED bi colour lights and soft boxes - but need to upgrade now! Cheers
Thanks for making this. I noticed you did a screen shot in LumaFusion to pull into affinity. Have you used the snapshot feature that will take a photo out of your video? It’s under the share button.
Hi, Yeah Todoist is a great app - but yes - I now do all my task management in Notion using the GTD method - check out this video for how it works th-cam.com/video/PuG0sLiIL1o/w-d-xo.html - there's also one on how to build it for yourself. :)
can you do a viewers audit by country and perhaps if it’s possible start, as a Englishman, start saying pounds instead of dollars. It’s virtually a deal breaker for me re subscription.
Hi Ray - since 25% of my Audience are in America, and probably another 15% use the dollar, with only 6% in the UK at the moment - try to be as inclusive as possible. :)
Hi, I love your video👍🏻✨by the way, may I know which is better for making video by using adobe premiere rush or luma fusion ? And what’s the differences between these 2 app?😃
Afraid I’ve not used premiere rush - but pretty sure luma will be better as it’s iOS only so fully designer for it. It’s closer to final cut in user interface and has ability to link with Final Cut Pro (send a project to it). Cheers.
Just got an iPad 9th gen and just discovered your channel so I'm watching all your videos as a boxset
Ah great! Welcome to the BC community! Another iPad related vid coming this week :)
A bit of a shift back to some more content on creative tools this week - Let me know: What's missing from the list and what's the most important app you use for getting your productive creativity on!? Thanks pals.
Have you tried alight motion? It’s a great motion graphics app, you can create some quite advanced stuff on this app, it has heaps of features!
@@hourglassentertainment237 ooo interesting - thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check it out.
Affinity Designer is a perfect illustration app. Between it and Affinity Photo, I have no need of any Adobe apps on my iPad.
Interesting! Will check it out. Thanks.
This recommendation might be life changing information and I always pay for a yearly membership for the Adobe collection…thank you. I will try them out, haven’t heard of Affinity Designer before

I agree. The whole Affinity suite is fantastic. Excellent value and very intuitive
That was awesome I feel inspired to make more of my iPad Pro
Nice one! Get stuck in!
The production quality of this video is top notch! That you've done it all on an iPad is incredible.
Nice one! Welcome to the channel! :)
Can you do a video pls with your favourite iPhone apps ?
Nice idea - I’m planning one on iOS apps for productivity already, but I’ll start thinking about this! Thanks for the request. :)

I use LumaFusion on my iPad. Not complaining not gonna lie. It’s really good and iPads are more than powerful enough
Yeah it’s a great app. Bit of competition now thou with Resolve for iPad!
@@BetterCreating I can’t lie I didn’t know that existed😂 gonna have to check it out
Great video but some of the apps can’t be downloaded any more :(. Anyway to have a side chat with you about some stuff. It would be great

Hi Simon, thanks for your sharing, very well presented video. Curious about what gears you’re using for the sound and video recording?
Thanks for sharing these wonderful tips. I use Notion on my iPad but find that the font size when using the app is rather small for viewing. How do you increase the font size ?
Think you can do it using command + or -
@@BetterCreating Ok, I tried but doesn’t seem to work. No worries, thanks.
Can you please do a walkthrough of affinity photo color grading options? Couldn't find any worthy tutorial online
Check my video history - I have a video on it. 👍
Capture One is available for iPad now. Best RAW processing for creating brilliant photos.
Ooo amazing thanks - I have a fuji camera so this is fab!
Defos thinking of picking one up now! Thanks for the app tips 🙌🏽
Also subscribed. Great channel. Thanks
Great to have you Chris! Check out the recent iPad and desk accessories videos too - you’ll enjoy I think if getting into ipad. :)

I think Adobe has pulled Photoshop Mix off the app store now.
That is very sad if true! :(
