Last year I edited a mini documentary on the mini 5, did it with 4K files and it was a breeze. So I am anticipating that the 6 will push things forward.
I just got myself an acasis hub, Id highly recommend looking into one. So essentially it has the SD card reader 2 x USB A port and USBC port , hdmi out, ethernet, 3.5mm jack, but you install an M2 drive straight into it, so you have it all in one. One major flaw though that everyone complains is when you have it plugged in, it will choose the hub as the audio source, so you need to have airpods or the such, it wont let you use hte ipad speakers while this is plugged in, highly recommend (no affiliation, just a fan)
wow, im amazed how well the a15 performed against the m1. i was expecting a15 to get blown out or stutter on 4k videos. im in the market for an ipad right now and i was considering ipad air 5 because of the m1. ill be fine with an a15!

Hey man, I trying to raise some money to get the iPhone 13 mini because my phone is damaged and need a new phone asap to do my works, is there any service I can help you with like logo design, origami teaching and anything else to help me reach there and I got to do something creativity for you too? :)
This is the 4th or 5th video of yours that has really been helpful. Subscribed , mini 6 could be what gets me over the hump- especially with that program you are running
The USB C port on the new iPad Mini 6 does make it a better device for editing large video files in Lumafusion since you can work off a external hard drive. Great demo of how it works, and I'm not surprised that the new A15 chip is almost as fast as the M1. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Perfect video! clear and shows the power of this little monster! helped me a lot in choosing the next tablet! congratulations for the content and thanks!
Good video. Once you are done editing, what do you save back to the external drive, what do you delete from ipadmini? Is there a project file you save?
Hi, I watched most of your LumaFusion videos and this one too! Very clear explanations. Just curious what your workflow is to transfer videos shot on iPhone to be ready to edit on your iPad? Airdrop has been unreliable and slow for me. Do you have a walk through on iPhone to iPad to LumaFusion? Thanks!
@@thequestofodssey Two issues with relying on iCloud: (1) it’s unreliable and slow since I have to wait for iCloud to figure things out, (2) I’m reliant on internet, which is not always available when travelling. Raw video sizes are also getting larger which makes iCloud even slower..
I'm tempted to upgrade my 2018 iPad figuring mini6 could allow me to not need a laptop (would use mini6 for drone usage & still and video editing, sometimes on external display). But by the time you buy 256gb mini6, case, and keyboard, perhaps I might as well buy apple or windows laptop and continue using 2019 9.7" A10 based iPad with drone..
I’m glad you did an export test because sometimes I run into issues exporting regular 1080p footage on my 2020 iPad Pro especially if the project is longer than 10 minutes in length. 😳
This video was perfect for what I was looking for. I'm almost ready to make the leap for an iPad Mini 6. Just a QOL request, could you switch to manual focus so it doesn't switch from the screen to your hand while you're recording your videos? Looking forward to your other videos!
I am interested in editing with Lumafusion on a iPad Mini with 64 GB of memory. I have talked to different experts who disagree if you can do this with a 64 GB iPad Mini, or if you need to get the 256 GB version of the iPad Mini. One expert said the Lumafusion program needs a lot of memory on the main drive to process. Of course we would being connection to a fast SSD externally to store the project files and renders. The video above that you posted was very helpful, thanks.
I also wonder this. And how is the footage from gopro transfered to ssd? on computer? If you connect the gopro10 via cable to ipad mini 6, can you copy files directly or need to go via quick app?
What you failed to mention was DJI drone footage is notorious for showing down computers due to high comparison in their files.. that's crazy the playback was so smooth..
At last, the video I waited… great job! Two questions : 1. Doesn’t Lumafusion3 support work from external usbC storage? (Without coping to iPad first) 2. Outside as drone controller, do you have enough screen brightness to deal with the sun?
@@cmgerner The theoretical USB speeds on A15 is limited to 5gbps or 642Mbps, while M1 iPads have speeds of 10gbps or 1.2Gbps. The read and write speeds would be slow but the end results would be just fine.
Hello thanks for this video. Would you still recommend the ipad mini since the m4 ipad is out. Ive been stuck between ipad mini and m2 11 inch. My focus is video/photo editing, notes taking, content consumption. Pls advice
This was the Video I was looking for, as I thought it was a good thing to have the iPad Mini 6 as an input for those who don't have anything from Apple yet but want to get started without spending too much. If you can compare the iPad 9 it would be great.
Helpful… I was thinking of purchase MacBook Air or Pro for photo & video work, but looks like iPad mini will do the same tricks! Did you make a video tutorial for the Lumafusion software? Is this much more robust than likes of Inshot or Splice?
oooh, progress bar when transferring files. the files app kinda killed it long ago for me. maybe i go back to lumafusion now. have so much fun with my ipad mini
Any chance the iPad mini can edit 6k or 8k. Maybe not the raw. The new fuji xh2 and xh2S have opened the doors to a lot of people for 6-8k video for a lot cheaper. And finally caught up with the Sony and canon autofocus
I cannot find any information on this ANYWHERE, but with my experience, the application automatically crashed when you try to play an 8K video in Lumafusion using an iPad Mini 6th Gen
I do the majority of my editing on my iPad Pro (because I have one) but on occasion I edit on my mini 5. It does great with 2k footage. I can imagine this will be awesome.
Awesome & Thanks :) Sir , Is it possible to decode 360° footage from Insta 360 one X or Gopro Max on a iPad OS ? if so how does a M1 iPad Pro or a iPad Mini 6 handles such heavy computing files ? . Thanks :)
Can you use the external disk as the reference disk for the project instead of putting the footage on the IPad? In other words, leave the footage on the external and exit from there, thanks
First video I see for video editing on the iPad mini 6 thanks for that 👍 now I’m wondering what the difference would be between the mini 6 and the iPad 9 for video editing???
How about the iPad mini 5? I'm about to buy it, and it's my first iOS device, just wanna know if it's capable in colorgrading on lumafusion (1080p-4k) Thanks
Love this! I am coming from samsung.. it's this easy to learn how to use coming from Android? I am a content creator using my phone. 2.7k 100fps gopro videos are lagging too much to edit efficiently so you answered many of my questions here. Thank you
Awesome video .. should i buy 64 gb varient if mini 6 … i dont make big videos for my Birds channel .. but i sometime edit in 4k .. kindly suggest .. is 64 gb is good .. if we delete clips after finishing editing or can we use hard drive files without copying them in tablet
First I'd like to thank you for all the videos you've done. Because of you I started to do videography as a hobby. I recently bought iPad eighth generation and first generation pen to get better. Now with the iPad mini six I’m thinking to buy one but I feel like the iPad eighth generation is more than enough and I just use my phone for the drone. Do you really recommend buying the iPad mini for the drone? By the way my drone is the DJI mini two
Thank you. I love LumaFusion, I used it on my basic iPad, but the file transfer speed is atrocious. USB C May solve the problem. Mini is great in portability, and I am considering it. Can you edit on it without the apple pen? Or would a cheap 3rd party pen work as well for the purpose?
Is the apps for free or do you need to pay for it? Also is it better that imovie? Appreciate if you can guve us tips as im planning to purchase ipad mini 6 for video editing stuff
Thanks so much for this! My question would be do we lose all the benefits of 5K if we export in 4K from Luma? Downscaling means is it even worth 5K? Thanks again.
is it possible to transfer files from LumaFusion on the mini 6 over to an external hard drive, i.e: (My Passport external hard drive) or directly from the mini 6 files app, if so what is the process?
THX, I enjoyed it. I currently use a samsung s10 to edit with kinemaster. I can't decide whether to buy a used m1 mac mini, macbook air, or an ipad that would have that touch screen I am used to. Any suggestions? sean from Naples, Italy
Thank you for the video. I am new to editing and looking to edit youth baseball games. Plan on using 1080 @ 60 fpm. The length of the games will be 90 minutes or so. Can the mini handle this using LumaFusion? Approximately how large of video file can I use on the mini? 30gb or 60gb? more? Thanks
That Mini 6 is looking like a better buy all the time! Thank you Shawn!

You can’t. It’s type c but not Thunderbolt. Luma fusion says you need Thunderbolt type c port for optimal performance
And the A15 is underclocked. Just imagine if its overclock 💪🏼

Same question… lumafusion 3 supports it for usbC. But I heard the usbC used in the mini is slower, so… waiting for an answer. Thanks
Great review/ demo with the iPad Mini 6. I just got the mini 6 about 3 months ago. I never thought of editing my 4k footage on it. -Thanks!
