Well said, the best display is the one you have or you can afford. In times of a global financial crisis I’m happy to see people caring for others with less opportunities…..just one thing though, the best reference monitor in music history is the Yamaha NS10, and it was only $100 when they were in the market, and they’re used in the top studios worldwide even today. So you’re right about it. Expensive audio monitors by no means give you the best reference for a final mix. I remember my old boss, Michael Sembello (grammy winner and Oscar nominated for Flashdance among many other things), he used to check the final mixes in an old Toyota from the 70’s, playing back a cassette….”if it sounds good here, it sounds good everywhere…..inside the studio he had SSL and Fairlights all over, but he trusted an old car speaker…..and with that mix he won awards all over the world……
It's an old trick that software houses should learn. They will regularly test their AAA games on RTX 4090 rigs and the like that cost £3000-4000+ and forget that less than 1% of people have those. Then they release and wonder why they are being negatively review-bombed, because their software is not optimised for normal folks with normal hardware.
Yeah, that's a great point that sometimes checking content on more typical equipment is a great idea. Naturally, better equipment is ideal... but that's a never ending pursuit. At some point your equipment is good enough, and any shortfall can usually be mitigated with a little skill and experience. Appreciate you watching and commenting. Thanks :)
I’m a Peruvian student, I use my m1 iPad Pro for color and editing on resolve and I’m in love with this, the only problem with this is that Blackmagic still doesn’t make the app run efficiently in the editing page
Yes, the edit page is not officially supported, even though there are work arounds to make it work on an iPad. Maybe we will see it added properly in the future. In the meantime, the cut page is excellent and very powerful.
Fantastic video! There’s a sore lack of in-depth Resolve-on-iPad videos from actual video professionals. I’d love a video about the usability and performance of the “hidden” resolve pages.
I'm new to Davinci but I'm absolutely loving the ecosystem. Can you please make a tutorial on how to use the new Davinci Mini? I'm going to get one ASAP but I've never touched one, and nobody seems to have a comprehensive video on how to get started with it...and you guys seem like the perfect people for it. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. And welcome to the world of DaVinci Resolve!!! If you get chance, check out @MrAlexTech video on the panel. It's really good.
Heya Brian! The course is out. There’s a link in the description with the launch discount code (80 dollars off). If you have any questions, please reach out to us.
I'm new to the channel and this is only my 2nd video. I swear I can hear an Irish accent sneaking out sometimes. Am I crazy? EDIT: Excellent videos btw. Glad to be here.
My understanding is that to ensure color accuracy the external video display must not only be capable of displaying the required gamut but also have reference grade characteristics (the ipad screen is supposed to be excellent in terms of color and is used widely for client monitoring but not generally as a reference critical display) and the ability to be driven by a high resolution 3d LUT for instance either internally, or directly from Davinci Resolve, ideally created during calibration using a spectrophotometer. ICC profiles are entirely unsuitable for driving video displays requiring accurate color.
There's different ways of looking at this. A critical reference display is vital. However it should be noted in the world of audio, mixers often listen to their mixes on cheap monitors to understand how others will hear their mix. The iPad Pro M4 has an amazing screen. For many it will be the BEST display they have. It's approaching the quality of a reference display. On the other hand, it's also good to see your material on a screen that many will mostly likely consume it on. It's possible to load viewer LUTS into Resolve on iPad. It's also possible to calibrate the iPad Pro Display with a colorimeter. However, it's not necessary when using an external monitor for reference that is able to accept LUTs or create them independently using its own colorimeter (like the PA32UCXR and other similar monitors).
With the new OLED iPad Pros, one can hope that (1) Apple implements in future iPadOS the possibility to individually color calibrate the iPad's display. And that (2) Blackmagic offers some option to use their Ultrastudio Monitor devices via 'Thunderbolt out' on the iPad and 'HDMI/SDI in' on an external monitor.
You can already calibrate an iPad….put it into reference mode, select “Fine tune calibration”, then you can enter the measured white point and luminance as well as the target white point and luminance. You would need a colorimeter. I am pretty sure they mentioned this in the video.
@rackmarkus yeah, as Maximo mentioned you can already calibrate the display. It’s mentioned in the video but not demonstrated. Ultrastudio connectivity would be cool but I think the direct connection works really well and suits the iPad’s minimalist setup. Thanks for watching and commenting
While the reference mode is a nice improvement, what I’m actually hoping for is a more in depth calibration option similar to creating a ‚3D LUT for the Resolve GUI color viewer‘ option using color patches and a external software such as DisplayCAL.
@@rackmarkus The iPad is capable of actual calibration, this is mentioned in the video. That's more than just turning on reference mode. You can run patterns through the iPad screen, analyse them with a colorimeter and then use that to fine tune the monitors settings. It's not as sophisticated as full profiling, but it's way more than people realise the iPad is capable of. Alternatively, if you are using your iPad as a reference viewer, you can run test patterns through Resolve using software like Display Cal. There's videos on TH-cam demonstrating calibration.
I have the 12.9” iPad Pro with the m2. It’s awesome with my laptop. I think people need to distinguish between grading Oppenheimer and grading your own personal project, there is a huge range in between and the iPad can definitely be a viable option. I’m debating the mini panel because it looks really cool. One area that I REALLY wish we could explore is using the Apple Pencil with DaVinci resolve. I am not sure if there is any application for it currently, and maybe that would be a feature request, but how cool would it be to draw a mask using the pencil? FCP for iPad has a really cool draw feature where you can record drawing on top of your footage. Is something like that possible using resolve? Anyway, video ideas if you are looking for some. Awesome video as usual and I learned something new! The local network option is awesome.
Yeah, FCP's drawing features are cool. Would be great to have something like for Resolve. We're pleased people are taking this video in the right context too. 'You can't do pro color work on an iPad' is a bit of a limited perspective. There's a range of paid color work, and much of it will be suitable for an iPad based setup. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
@@team2films I’m also curious about this new iPad they announced. It looks really cool, but I want to see the test reports on it, it’s a brand new display technology for them, and I want to see if they maintain their fantastic accuracy. I think I am going to end up getting it though.
Good run through of the tech. It seems a truly colour accurate display is among the last barriers of entry in the post-production world, where you have to pay the big bucks to play (for now). But it seems we're close to that nut being cracked.
Excellent video, lots of info, well researched. There is no more thorny issue than displays and calibration. Yep, use what you have. If in doubt, check it with a grey scale. Thx!
Thanks! Glad people are enjoying this video. Monitoring can be such a contentious issue for some, and it's nice to know people understand the point of this video. Use what you got!
Thanks for this ad....emmm, review. Kidding, to be honest this actually is a gamechanger but, I graded once having interface on a tiny 15 inch laptop. Experience was horrible but it did the job done. Wonder how about connecting Tangent Elements panels or external display for larger UI into that iPad. Thanks for vid!
Hahah! It’s definitely not an ad. Just trying to give people ideas about how they can use hardware they already have. And also make the point that it’s possible to monitor with relatively inexpensive hardware, kind of like you are doing. The best monitor is the one you have. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
A really good Video, thank you. I’d be tempted but unfortunately iPad OS for file management is so problematic that just can’t upgrade my current iPad Pro.
Yeah, file management is challenging. Although it might be more powerful than people realise. For example, did you know you can mount network drives to an iPad? Our point with this video is that the iPad can be used to compliment desktop based Resolve workflows as an additional screen, or alternatively, if it's the best computer you have... it's pretty amazing for grading with the right accessories. We think there's people out there that will definitely find this helpful for paid professional work. Thanks so much for watching.
@@team2films whilst I’ve tried to make file management simpler, or at least as easy and functional as OSX, I did not know you could connect to a network drive. I suppose they key thing I feel Apple are remiss in is that the iPad is about Pro portability, these means cloud and file handling to offload safely creator content from Cameras, photos, videos and so on and on this it’s painful. The other issue is just one connection. All this said, it is your video that brings me, a man dealing with GAS, one step closer to upgrading. Of all the channels I watch on DaVinci, the two of you are top quartile. 👌🏾
@@Coatsey007 Thanks Jamie. Appreciate you saying that. And to be clear, macOS or windows is going to be a better experience in most scenarios, but we're very impressed by how capable the iPad is. It's definitely going to hit the spot for some people. Blackmagic have done an amazing job with bringing Resolve to the iPad.
Many people using Apple XDR Oled displays for grading very high end content. If this latest XDR Oled screen iPad Pro lives up to that, which it should, no reason you can't grade on it.
Only the iPhone and iPad have oled displays in apple’s current line up. The studio and pro XDR displays use regular LCD technology, as do the current MacBook Pros. So to be clear, Apple OLED displays have not been used for high end content… yet… because they never existed anywhere other than the iPhone until now. The new iPad display is the largest oled display Apple have released and with its tandem oled might be the best display Apple have made yet. It’s exciting stuff. Thanks for watching.
Which iPad are you talking about? M2 or M4. Different sizes on the M2 have different screens. Both M4’s have the same screen. The amount of storage you get will affect the amount of ram on your iPad. I think lower storage versions come with binned chips too.
@@team2films I'm looking to get either m4 or m2, but definitely the 1tb storage as I want 16gb ram. So my question is, apart from the chip aspect, does the screen size affect the performance of the ipad pro when it runs Davinci Resolve?
@@reesaoldyear7763 We've not tested every iPad. Sorry! But I don't see a reason why the screen size would affect performance. Please note, the 11" M2 is not HDR.
You guys are doing God's work for us out there. I would be on the road for an extended period of time and I just gonna grade with the iPad Pro for the moment.
Wasn’t too clear what came after connecting the monitor to the iPad with the thunderbolt usb c which was also charging the iPad? Can you link the items in the description please?
Hello, thanks for getting back to me. I am trying to connect my iPad to my LG C4 monitor. I’d like to know what cable I should be using and how are you able to charge your iPad while at the same time connecting to the IPad?
sorry question. using the Ipad as your clean feed seems like a great idea... if it wasn't that the resolution of the signal is pretty bad. seems like a poor streaming service. Can't absolutely work on something like this. I wonder how if I'm doing something wrong.
@@team2films I simply noticed that “sidecar” streames the image at a lower image quality… the iPad looks fantastic when the images comes from itself , but when paired to desktop Mac and using the iPad just as a monitor , the image looks much softer and you can tell a lot of compression is going on. Either if it’s connected via usb c or wireless. The idea of using the iPad as a screen is awesome but to me “sidecar” is a huge bottle neck. Any suggestions? I parchased the iPad Pro and I’m very disappointed as of now …
In case it’s still not clear and I’m conversing with someone who was not involved with the making of the video, the segment at 7.30 is filmed at a different time to the other segments, and despite a noble effort to the get the clothing right, it does appear that there was some time, and possibly a small war, between filming,
@@mattwillis-jones5645ah gotcha! Yes, we shot pickups to reflect some additional things we discovered! Well done for being so observant 😋🤣. We appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Thanks so much
About to buy an iPad Pro. I have to choose between the 512gb and 1tb models. The 1tb has a faster setup with double the ram but is £400 extra. For what kind of work would the extra capability of the one terabyte model come in to play? I know this is a difficult question but some indication would be helpful.
Hello. That's a great question, I'm so sorry but we don't have any solid data on that. We've been using the 1TB model in our demonstrations but have not had experience with the 512 model to be able to offer a useful opinion. Are there benchmarks from others out there on the internet?
While I appreciate the context at the end I think for professional color work the issue is accuracy and predictability. Anything in the pipeline that cannot be relied upon might well introduce errors that meant the results would be unpredictable. Its not a question of a scale of performance, the only question is … is the finished grade accurate in terms of the standard required for display (whether its rec709 or p3 or whatever) This is not a scale, the standards are well established and yield predictable and repeatable results. A professional colorist has a ethical duty I think. A duty to ensure the color decisions made by the Director have the best chance to be faithfully reproduced in the real world. This can only start by being able to rely on the video data being faithfully reproduced on the colorists reference display.
Hello, thanks for watching. You expressed that beautifully. Some thoughts to consider. 1. The accuracy you're referring to IS possible with an iPad connected to a calibrated external display. 2. Even with high-end displays there's still small differences. A 30,000 display might be better than a 10,000 which in turn is better than a 5,000 display. Where do you draw the line, as perfect accuracy is not possible. 3. There is a great deal of work where the high cost of 'perfection' (or getting as close to perfection as you can) is not economical. We're not advocating that professional colourists lower their standards, but simply that the best monitor you have is the one you have. We think that display suitability is not a hard line, but a gradient. There's a band on that gradient where a skilled colourist can get excellent results. Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks for watching and engaging.
Appreciating and understanding the context are two different things. Well might I say can you really appreciate it if you fail to understand it. Lets take your statement and assess. “A professional colorist has a ethical duty…. to ensure the color decisions made by the director have the best chance of bing faithfully reproduced…” Ill one up this for emphasis. In certain contexts namely broadcast there are tight standards that are a matter of rules (even stricter than any ethical considerations) that one must adhere to in broadcast TV. To both of these scenarios the underlying denominator is since it is the expectation for you to meet these demands, you are either getting paid accordingly or and/or are being provided with the resources necessary to see this objective out because equally unethical or illegal would be to expect or demand such without the corresponding compensation or resources. Because professional colorists aren’t magicians and cant pull a rabbit out of hat the context that is being made here is those that fall under context A (you have or are given the resources/compensation to meet demands) should use the resources. For those in context B (who don’t have, aren’t given or are not being compensated accordingly) they simply cant do the impossible. But since every client and professional has different budgets and has to start somewhere, to your point, both client/director and colorist should use the best resources/pay that they have to get the highest quality of work you can for the space that your are delivering in (to which by default would not be to broadcast standards or the like if you fall in context B). This is the long drawn out version but what was said in the video was totally the same vein of thought. I think sometime we make assumptions for the worst. The lazy shortcut taking colorist is an outlier no need to argue that case let them be. They wont last long. The context was clear enough.
@@team2films I think maybe I didn't express myself clearly. My apologies and thanks for the reply. I actually asked the Blackmagic engineers about using an external display connected directly to an Ipad (at that stage M1 with the first version of Resolve for Ipad OS). I wanted to know if one could achieve the same levels of repeatable accuracy that one could say with a Mac, an Ultrastudio, and an external display. Assuming that external display was of sufficient accuracy and properly profiled and calibrated (i.e driven by either an internal 3d calibration lut, a external LUT box or a 3d lut from within Resolve settings, the usual ways). I mean how great would that be. They said that would not be possible. They said it might and should be reasonably accurate from Ipad thunderbolt connector, but not reliably so. The only totally reliable pipeline from Resolve to reference screen using BM hardware would be via Ultrastudio, or Decklink device/card. The important thing is the clean signal, no graphic card processing being applied with the Ultrastudio or Decklink. I know nothing of the output from an Ipad, but that's what they said to me. If you think the Ipad signal pathway is accurate can you say on what grounds you are making that claim? I don't mean to be difficult but the issue is obviously critical to using the Ipad with reference screen for video color work.
@@starky497 Those are good questions. The supposed issue with connecting displays directly to the computer is 'ColorSync', the mac's internal color management utility. As software hands images to it, it will tell the ColorSync what colour space the source image is in, when a monitor is connected to the OS it will tell it what color space it is configured to display. 1. If ColorSync is configured correctly, it won't cause issues. Using an IO like an Ultrastudio is best practice because it eliminates a point of failure from your signal chain, one less thing to have to configure correctly... but an accurate image is still possible through color sync when it's correctly configured. 2. Even if it was configured incorrectly, ColorSync will still produce repeatable results. 3. If you felt there were any issues with your iPad's output, you can load 3D luts onto your monitor. If you had two of the same monitor, it should be possible to connect two screens simultaneously to a Mac. One through ultra studio and one through color sync and compare the results. That would be a fun experiment. 4. Monitoring on an iPad will be limited to whatever the iPad's HDR mode is capable of outputting. I'm assuming Rec2100 1000 nits. 5. This final point is less relevant to the question you are asking... but one of the big things that we're trying to point out is that many people think that 100% accurate reference monitoring is possible. It's not. Even a Sony BVM-HX310 (just using as an example) imparts a look to an image thanks to the particular technology it uses. Consistency is more important than absolute 'accuracy'. This combo is more 'accurate' than most people will need for their work - for the kind of people that would use an iPad as their colour grading computer, it can most likley be considered to be an 'accurate reference display'. Does that make sense? THat's kind of why the title of the video is 'better than you think'. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Thank you once again for the insightful review🖤which greatly appreciate it. However, I wanted to inquire whether it would be possible to utilize the latest version of the iPad Air that just got release for my grading projects as well since I got limited budget currently😅Additionally, I'm curious about the playback speed capabilities of the device. I understand if you may not have plans to conduct another review on this, but any insights you could provide would be immensely helpful. Thank you.
The iPad Air is very capable with its M1 chip. Some resolutions or features are limited based on its lower performance though. If you have your iPad Air, we’d recommend testing it with the free version of Resolve. Thanks so much for watching.
Great work guys!!!. I have a question, it's better or more confident over clean feed or remote monitor, I'm thinking on getting an Ipad for set work, thx for your answer
The high end new iPad Pro offers two screen options with or without nano texture glass. Which option is the best for accurate color rendition. From a color grading perspective what’s the difference between? Thanks.
Most people are going to want the regular gloss image. The nano texture can affect the contrast of the image in certain scenarios, and is more difficult to maintain. For a portable device that you touch... the nano texture probably isn't the best idea for most people.
Is there a way to use the iPad as a reference monitor with a wired connection? Wireless remote monitoring always freezes and stops working after a few seconds.
Sidecar can work through a usb cable. Remote monitoring needs a network connection so can work through a wired Ethernet connection. You’ll need an adapter and then turn your WiFi off.
Very nice video! Keep going! I am using iPad Pro as a stand alone device. For external monitor do I need just a thunderbolt to HDMI connection cable to my HDR monitor or also black magic clean feed hardware? Can you use your iPad as main work station and clean feed to another device through Apple TV or similar and use as reference monitor an iPhone or another iPad? Or is there another way to use a iPhone or another iPad as reference monitor? I don’t want to buy another external monitor neither other hardware device. Is there a work around when you don’t need an extremely precise accuracy? There are a lot of people that are just enthusiast or hobbyist and not pro and just want a work around :) Thanks in any case :)
No extra hardware needed. We're just connecting the monitor directly with a thunderbolt cable (as our monitor has a thunderbolt input). You can also use a usb c to HDMI cable. Does that make sense?
Considering the new Ipad pro M4 to become my Reference Display for my color work in resolve. Isn't out yet but still feels promising. So just to double check, there's no way to color calibrate an Ipad pro , as of today correct ? My work is mainly for stuff that goes OnLine , small commercials, music videos. I've been grading on my iMac and it looks very good and I'm happy but I would like to have a screen just for reference display and at the same time knowing that for the most part I'll have a solid reference.
Thanks for watching! Yeah the new tandem oled display looks like it's going to be apple's best display yet. 4:42 The video talks about how it's possible to calibrate an iPad Pro Display. It's also possible for your iMac display to be a really good reference. Whether you use your iPad or iMac. There's more workflows for calibrating desktop displays than iPad's currently. But either will make an excellent addition to your setup.
The full version of resolve has been ported to the iPad. Only the cut page and color page are currently supported officially. There are work arounds to reveal the other pages too.
Not that we are aware. You can turn True Tone off. But as the 11" only hits 600 nits, it won't deliver true HDR. If you have a colorimeter, you could set the brightness of the display to that it delivers the correct experience for SDR content. Or you could eyeball that setting too. As no one watches Rec709 content on a 100 nit monitor anymore, the brightness is kind of a moot point.
The best monitor you have is the best monitor you have. M3 Macbook Pro has a great screen. Like with any screen it needs to be configured properly. No need to buy an ipad just for monitoring. It will have some similar advantages and disadvantages to your macbook.
Is the Yamaha HS5 what I saw by your monitor? Are they decent? I’m confused by the many small, low-cost so-called reference monitor speakers that are available and would prefer a recommendation from an expert (that’s you)
Super!!! But I tried to switch to reference mode on my11 inch iPad Pro M2, there is no option for it. My iPad also has the latest firmware. please help
Yes, that's it for now. But don't forget what a huge part of the market that h264, prores and h265 covers... Hopefully Blackmagic will add more codecs soon.
@@orionfilms2835 That's a very good point. I'm sure the Resolve team has plans to implement those codecs at some point. It's a great idea to post comments about this in the official forum. It helps them to know which features to prioritise. As a suggestion, here's an intermediate solution. If you ingest your media through a desktop version of Resolve onset, it can generate proxies automatically and push them to the cloud. These will sync to your iPad through Blackmagic Cloud. I know that's far from perfect, but I just wanted to mention incase it's useful.
@@team2films Thanks for responding, I've just done a restart on my laptop, the resolve 19 was an install without a restart so I reckon that might fix it, and it did. Happy bunny now 😁
Thanks so much for watching and commenting :) Naturally, larger screens and a regular desktop computer is better in most scenarios, but the iPad can be used to complement regular desktop based workflows, either as an additional screen or a portable device.

@@team2films so I need a $2000 software, plus another $60 software, and a PC because calman doesn’t have a Mac version (it’s 2024), just to calibrate an iPad. Insanity

It's not as sophisticated as full profiling, but it's way more than people realise the iPad is capable of. Alternatively, if you are using your iPad as a reference viewer, you can run test patterns through Resolve using software like Display Cal.
There's videos on TH-cam demonstrating calibration.
@@team2films thanks for clarifying! I’ll look into it. Exciting times for all the backpacking colorists out there. 😉
I have the 12.9” iPad Pro with the m2. It’s awesome with my laptop. I think people need to distinguish between grading Oppenheimer and grading your own personal project, there is a huge range in between and the iPad can definitely be a viable option. I’m debating the mini panel because it looks really cool.
One area that I REALLY wish we could explore is using the Apple Pencil with DaVinci resolve. I am not sure if there is any application for it currently, and maybe that would be a feature request, but how cool would it be to draw a mask using the pencil?
FCP for iPad has a really cool draw feature where you can record drawing on top of your footage. Is something like that possible using resolve?
Anyway, video ideas if you are looking for some. Awesome video as usual and I learned something new! The local network option is awesome.
If you are grading Oppenheimer you don't need to buy a monitor. You're working in a facility where they already have it! Yay 😁
Yeah, FCP's drawing features are cool. Would be great to have something like for Resolve.
We're pleased people are taking this video in the right context too. 'You can't do pro color work on an iPad' is a bit of a limited perspective. There's a range of paid color work, and much of it will be suitable for an iPad based setup.
Appreciate you watching and commenting.
@andycrystal Hahahah yeah!
@@team2films I’m also curious about this new iPad they announced. It looks really cool, but I want to see the test reports on it, it’s a brand new display technology for them, and I want to see if they maintain their fantastic accuracy. I think I am going to end up getting it though.
@@MaximoJoshuaIt looks very promising. I’m sure it will be very good
Thaaaanks for this review guys
Our pleasure :)
Good run through of the tech. It seems a truly colour accurate display is among the last barriers of entry in the post-production world, where you have to pay the big bucks to play (for now). But it seems we're close to that nut being cracked.
Yeah, that's well expressed. We're on the verge. There's a better than even selection though of modestly priced solutions in the meantime.
Excellent video, lots of info, well researched. There is no more thorny issue than displays and calibration. Yep, use what you have. If in doubt, check it with a grey scale. Thx!
Thanks! Glad people are enjoying this video. Monitoring can be such a contentious issue for some, and it's nice to know people understand the point of this video. Use what you got!
Thanks for this ad....emmm, review. Kidding, to be honest this actually is a gamechanger but, I graded once having interface on a tiny 15 inch laptop. Experience was horrible but it did the job done. Wonder how about connecting Tangent Elements panels or external display for larger UI into that iPad. Thanks for vid!
Hahah! It’s definitely not an ad. Just trying to give people ideas about how they can use hardware they already have. And also make the point that it’s possible to monitor with relatively inexpensive hardware, kind of like you are doing. The best monitor is the one you have. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
A really good Video, thank you. I’d be tempted but unfortunately iPad OS for file management is so problematic that just can’t upgrade my current iPad Pro.
Yeah, file management is challenging. Although it might be more powerful than people realise. For example, did you know you can mount network drives to an iPad?
Our point with this video is that the iPad can be used to compliment desktop based Resolve workflows as an additional screen, or alternatively, if it's the best computer you have... it's pretty amazing for grading with the right accessories. We think there's people out there that will definitely find this helpful for paid professional work.
Thanks so much for watching.
@@team2films whilst I’ve tried to make file management simpler, or at least as easy and functional as OSX, I did not know you could connect to a network drive.
I suppose they key thing I feel Apple are remiss in is that the iPad is about Pro portability, these means cloud and file handling to offload safely creator content from Cameras, photos, videos and so on and on this it’s painful. The other issue is just one connection. All this said, it is your video that brings me, a man dealing with GAS, one step closer to upgrading. Of all the channels I watch on DaVinci, the two of you are top quartile. 👌🏾
@@Coatsey007 Thanks Jamie. Appreciate you saying that. And to be clear, macOS or windows is going to be a better experience in most scenarios, but we're very impressed by how capable the iPad is. It's definitely going to hit the spot for some people. Blackmagic have done an amazing job with bringing Resolve to the iPad.
Can’t wait to buy the new micro panel for my iPad Pro set up.
Yeah, it's a pretty sweet combo.
I use it only for gaming and now im blown away by the fact that my ipad can do 😳
Yeah there's incredible amount of power in there.
Many people using Apple XDR Oled displays for grading very high end content. If this latest XDR Oled screen iPad Pro lives up to that, which it should, no reason you can't grade on it.
Only the iPhone and iPad have oled displays in apple’s current line up. The studio and pro XDR displays use regular LCD technology, as do the current MacBook Pros.
So to be clear, Apple OLED displays have not been used for high end content… yet… because they never existed anywhere other than the iPhone until now.
The new iPad display is the largest oled display Apple have released and with its tandem oled might be the best display Apple have made yet. It’s exciting stuff. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this. All great information and expanded my options.
Glad you found it helpful
Excellent video. Thank you very much 🙏
Thank-you Ruben. Appreciate you watching.
Thanks for the video. Is there any difference between 11" and 13" other than the screen size?
Which iPad are you talking about? M2 or M4. Different sizes on the M2 have different screens. Both M4’s have the same screen. The amount of storage you get will affect the amount of ram on your iPad. I think lower storage versions come with binned chips too.
@@team2films I'm looking to get either m4 or m2, but definitely the 1tb storage as I want 16gb ram. So my question is, apart from the chip aspect, does the screen size affect the performance of the ipad pro when it runs Davinci Resolve?
@@reesaoldyear7763 We've not tested every iPad. Sorry! But I don't see a reason why the screen size would affect performance.
Please note, the 11" M2 is not HDR.
You guys are doing God's work for us out there. I would be on the road for an extended period of time and I just gonna grade with the iPad Pro for the moment.
Thanks so much! We love how easy it is with Blackmagic Cloud to transfer back to your desktop too. Safe travels :)
@@team2films by the way, I wonder when the discount for the course would end? Would hope to purchase it when I get paid at month end. 🙏
@@LoremIpsumProd The discount will be ending later this month. Reach out if you have any problems applying the discount though.
@@team2films Awesome. Hope it is still available by 30th. 🙏

Thank-you so much.
Wasn’t too clear what came after connecting the monitor to the iPad with the thunderbolt usb c which was also charging the iPad? Can you link the items in the description please?
Thanks for watching! What exactly is the problem you are having?
Hello, thanks for getting back to me. I am trying to connect my iPad to my LG C4 monitor. I’d like to know what cable I should be using and how are you able to charge your iPad while at the same time connecting to the IPad?
thanks you for the insights 😊
You're welcome.
Great Work guys!!!!
Thanks so much. We appreciate you watching and commenting.
Thanks for thi nice job :)
You are welcome
I think I just fell in love❤
We love Resolve too 😊 Thanks for watching!
sorry question. using the Ipad as your clean feed seems like a great idea... if it wasn't that the resolution of the signal is pretty bad. seems like a poor streaming service. Can't absolutely work on something like this. I wonder how if I'm doing something wrong.
We’d suggest connecting directly via IP instead of through the cloud if you are saving problems. Is that what you were referring to?
@@team2films I simply noticed that “sidecar” streames the image at a lower image quality… the iPad looks fantastic when the images comes from itself , but when paired to desktop Mac and using the iPad just as a monitor , the image looks much softer and you can tell a lot of compression is going on. Either if it’s connected via usb c or wireless. The idea of using the iPad as a screen is awesome but to me “sidecar” is a huge bottle neck. Any suggestions? I parchased the iPad Pro and I’m very disappointed as of now …
Great video thanks. Great channel. (But i must say i laughed out loud at the continuity around 7.30 ... ) looking forward to next vid
Thanks so much for watching. What do you mean about the continuity at 7:30?
@@team2films she appears to have been dragged backwards through a bush
In case it’s still not clear and I’m conversing with someone who was not involved with the making of the video, the segment at 7.30 is filmed at a different time to the other segments, and despite a noble effort to the get the clothing right, it does appear that there was some time, and possibly a small war, between filming,
@@mattwillis-jones5645ah gotcha! Yes, we shot pickups to reflect some additional things we discovered! Well done for being so observant 😋🤣. We appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Thanks so much
@@team2films 20 years of sitting in dark rooms and farting through expensive chairs will do that to you
About to buy an iPad Pro. I have to choose between the 512gb and 1tb models. The 1tb has a faster setup with double the ram but is £400 extra. For what kind of work would the extra capability of the one terabyte model come in to play? I know this is a difficult question but some indication would be helpful.
Hello. That's a great question, I'm so sorry but we don't have any solid data on that. We've been using the 1TB model in our demonstrations but have not had experience with the 512 model to be able to offer a useful opinion. Are there benchmarks from others out there on the internet?
While I appreciate the context at the end I think for professional color work the issue is accuracy and predictability. Anything in the pipeline that cannot be relied upon might well introduce errors that meant the results would be unpredictable. Its not a question of a scale of performance, the only question is … is the finished grade accurate in terms of the standard required for display (whether its rec709 or p3 or whatever) This is not a scale, the standards are well established and yield predictable and repeatable results. A professional colorist has a ethical duty I think. A duty to ensure the color decisions made by the Director have the best chance to be faithfully reproduced in the real world. This can only start by being able to rely on the video data being faithfully reproduced on the colorists reference display.
Hello, thanks for watching. You expressed that beautifully. Some thoughts to consider.
1. The accuracy you're referring to IS possible with an iPad connected to a calibrated external display.
2. Even with high-end displays there's still small differences. A 30,000 display might be better than a 10,000 which in turn is better than a 5,000 display. Where do you draw the line, as perfect accuracy is not possible.
3. There is a great deal of work where the high cost of 'perfection' (or getting as close to perfection as you can) is not economical. We're not advocating that professional colourists lower their standards, but simply that the best monitor you have is the one you have.
We think that display suitability is not a hard line, but a gradient. There's a band on that gradient where a skilled colourist can get excellent results.
Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks for watching and engaging.
Appreciating and understanding the context are two different things. Well might I say can you really appreciate it if you fail to understand it.
Lets take your statement and assess.
“A professional colorist has a ethical duty…. to ensure the color decisions made by the director have the best chance of bing faithfully reproduced…”
Ill one up this for emphasis. In certain contexts namely broadcast there are tight standards that are a matter of rules (even stricter than any ethical considerations) that one must adhere to in broadcast TV.
To both of these scenarios the underlying denominator is since it is the expectation for you to meet these demands, you are either getting paid accordingly or and/or are being provided with the resources necessary to see this objective out because equally unethical or illegal would be to expect or demand such without the corresponding compensation or resources.
Because professional colorists aren’t magicians and cant pull a rabbit out of hat the context that is being made here is those that fall under context A (you have or are given the resources/compensation to meet demands) should use the resources.
For those in context B (who don’t have, aren’t given or are not being compensated accordingly) they simply cant do the impossible. But since every client and professional has different budgets and has to start somewhere, to your point, both client/director and colorist should use the best resources/pay that they have to get the highest quality of work you can for the space that your are delivering in (to which by default would not be to broadcast standards or the like if you fall in context B).
This is the long drawn out version but what was said in the video was totally the same vein of thought. I think sometime we make assumptions for the worst.
The lazy shortcut taking colorist is an outlier no need to argue that case let them be. They wont last long.
The context was clear enough.
@@team2films I think maybe I didn't express myself clearly. My apologies and thanks for the reply. I actually asked the Blackmagic engineers about using an external display connected directly to an Ipad (at that stage M1 with the first version of Resolve for Ipad OS). I wanted to know if one could achieve the same levels of repeatable accuracy that one could say with a Mac, an Ultrastudio, and an external display. Assuming that external display was of sufficient accuracy and properly profiled and calibrated (i.e driven by either an internal 3d calibration lut, a external LUT box or a 3d lut from within Resolve settings, the usual ways). I mean how great would that be. They said that would not be possible. They said it might and should be reasonably accurate from Ipad thunderbolt connector, but not reliably so. The only totally reliable pipeline from Resolve to reference screen using BM hardware would be via Ultrastudio, or Decklink device/card. The important thing is the clean signal, no graphic card processing being applied with the Ultrastudio or Decklink. I know nothing of the output from an Ipad, but that's what they said to me. If you think the Ipad signal pathway is accurate can you say on what grounds you are making that claim? I don't mean to be difficult but the issue is obviously critical to using the Ipad with reference screen for video color work.
@@starky497 Those are good questions. The supposed issue with connecting displays directly to the computer is 'ColorSync', the mac's internal color management utility. As software hands images to it, it will tell the ColorSync what colour space the source image is in, when a monitor is connected to the OS it will tell it what color space it is configured to display.
1. If ColorSync is configured correctly, it won't cause issues. Using an IO like an Ultrastudio is best practice because it eliminates a point of failure from your signal chain, one less thing to have to configure correctly... but an accurate image is still possible through color sync when it's correctly configured.
2. Even if it was configured incorrectly, ColorSync will still produce repeatable results.
3. If you felt there were any issues with your iPad's output, you can load 3D luts onto your monitor. If you had two of the same monitor, it should be possible to connect two screens simultaneously to a Mac. One through ultra studio and one through color sync and compare the results. That would be a fun experiment.
4. Monitoring on an iPad will be limited to whatever the iPad's HDR mode is capable of outputting. I'm assuming Rec2100 1000 nits.
5. This final point is less relevant to the question you are asking... but one of the big things that we're trying to point out is that many people think that 100% accurate reference monitoring is possible. It's not. Even a Sony BVM-HX310 (just using as an example) imparts a look to an image thanks to the particular technology it uses. Consistency is more important than absolute 'accuracy'. This combo is more 'accurate' than most people will need for their work - for the kind of people that would use an iPad as their colour grading computer, it can most likley be considered to be an 'accurate reference display'.
Does that make sense? THat's kind of why the title of the video is 'better than you think'. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Resolve now supports HDR on Windows monitors now with Beta 3! :)
Awesome!
Thank you 🙏🏾
Would you recommend the new iPad Pro with Tandem Oled Display or the last LED Display?
We've not used it yet... but it looks very promising. Sounds like it might be the best display apple has made YET.
Can the iPad Pro support the Blackmagic ultra studio via thunderbolt for video out?
No. Sorry!
thank you
Thank you once again for the insightful review🖤which greatly appreciate it. However, I wanted to inquire whether it would be possible to utilize the latest version of the iPad Air that just got release for my grading projects as well since I got limited budget currently😅Additionally, I'm curious about the playback speed capabilities of the device. I understand if you may not have plans to conduct another review on this, but any insights you could provide would be immensely helpful. Thank you.
The iPad Air is very capable with its M1 chip. Some resolutions or features are limited based on its lower performance though. If you have your iPad Air, we’d recommend testing it with the free version of Resolve. Thanks so much for watching.
Great work guys!!!. I have a question, it's better or more confident over clean feed or remote monitor, I'm thinking on getting an Ipad for set work, thx for your answer
Thanks so much. Can you clarify, what exactly are you asking? If we’ve understood correctly… we’d say remote monitor is better.
@@team2films yes i saw that, just saying it's more accurate the color over clean feed or via remote monitoring, thx again
Saoirse Ronan's into color grading. Nice
Thank-you so much ☺️
The high end new iPad Pro offers two screen options with or without nano texture glass. Which option is the best for accurate color rendition. From a color grading perspective what’s the difference between? Thanks.
Most people are going to want the regular gloss image. The nano texture can affect the contrast of the image in certain scenarios, and is more difficult to maintain. For a portable device that you touch... the nano texture probably isn't the best idea for most people.
Is there a way to use the iPad as a reference monitor with a wired connection? Wireless remote monitoring always freezes and stops working after a few seconds.
Yes. Both methods described will work via a wired connection. Either USB C to your computer or with a USB ethernet adapter.
@@team2films I don't get it. Do I use the remote monitor app like usual? If I connect my PC to my iPad via USB-C it still uses WiFi.
Sidecar can work through a usb cable. Remote monitoring needs a network connection so can work through a wired Ethernet connection. You’ll need an adapter and then turn your WiFi off.
Very nice video! Keep going!
I am using iPad Pro as a stand alone device. For external monitor do I need just a thunderbolt to HDMI connection cable to my HDR monitor or also black magic clean feed hardware?
Can you use your iPad as main work station and clean feed to another device through Apple TV or similar and use as reference monitor an iPhone or another iPad? Or is there another way to use a iPhone or another iPad as reference monitor? I don’t want to buy another external monitor neither other hardware device. Is there a work around when you don’t need an extremely precise accuracy?
There are a lot of people that are just enthusiast or hobbyist and not pro and just want a work around :) Thanks in any case :)
No extra hardware needed. We're just connecting the monitor directly with a thunderbolt cable (as our monitor has a thunderbolt input). You can also use a usb c to HDMI cable.
Does that make sense?
@@team2films what about AirPlay from Apple TV?
@@xalouris Not tested that. Give it a try.

Yes. So sorry! There's a link in the description if that's helpful.
Considering the new Ipad pro M4 to become my Reference Display for my color work in resolve. Isn't out yet but still feels promising. So just to double check, there's no way to color calibrate an Ipad pro , as of today correct ? My work is mainly for stuff that goes OnLine , small commercials, music videos. I've been grading on my iMac and it looks very good and I'm happy but I would like to have a screen just for reference display and at the same time knowing that for the most part I'll have a solid reference.
Thanks for watching!
Yeah the new tandem oled display looks like it's going to be apple's best display yet.
4:42 The video talks about how it's possible to calibrate an iPad Pro Display.
It's also possible for your iMac display to be a really good reference. Whether you use your iPad or iMac. There's more workflows for calibrating desktop displays than iPad's currently. But either will make an excellent addition to your setup.
Bravo.
Love this comment. Thank you!
Will the new M4 iPad Pro support the full version of DaVinci Resolve Studio, with all the pages, or is it a stripped down version? What's missing?
The full version of resolve has been ported to the iPad. Only the cut page and color page are currently supported officially. There are work arounds to reveal the other pages too.
How do you highlight (2.04 sec) is there any tutorial available ?
We'll make some tutorials about our graphics later this year. Thanks for watching.
Is there a workaround to enable ref mode in the 11inch also?
Not that we are aware. You can turn True Tone off. But as the 11" only hits 600 nits, it won't deliver true HDR. If you have a colorimeter, you could set the brightness of the display to that it delivers the correct experience for SDR content. Or you could eyeball that setting too.
As no one watches Rec709 content on a 100 nit monitor anymore, the brightness is kind of a moot point.
I have a M3 Macbook Pro. Can I use my laptop as a "poor man's" HDR grading monitor? Would adding the new iPad M4 be a better setup? thx
The best monitor you have is the best monitor you have. M3 Macbook Pro has a great screen. Like with any screen it needs to be configured properly. No need to buy an ipad just for monitoring. It will have some similar advantages and disadvantages to your macbook.
@@team2films Appreciate the fast reply. Any tips to properly configure M3 Macbook Pro screen?
Is the Yamaha HS5 what I saw by your monitor? Are they decent? I’m confused by the many small, low-cost so-called reference monitor speakers that are available and would prefer a recommendation from an expert (that’s you)

@@team2films Yes but as a cinematographer, i can't pregrade my Arriraw, r3d or x ocn files on the go which is real professional codec like prores.
@@orionfilms2835 That's a very good point. I'm sure the Resolve team has plans to implement those codecs at some point. It's a great idea to post comments about this in the official forum. It helps them to know which features to prioritise.
As a suggestion, here's an intermediate solution. If you ingest your media through a desktop version of Resolve onset, it can generate proxies automatically and push them to the cloud. These will sync to your iPad through Blackmagic Cloud. I know that's far from perfect, but I just wanted to mention incase it's useful.
Just one term, every mac using colorist knows and dispises: "Mac specific display color spaces".
Hahah! Yes! It creates challenges, but you can still work around them though :) We're hoping to create more content on monitoring later in the year.
