Blackmagic Design has created an iPad version of DaVinci Resolve which will be available in Q4.
The company will release both a free version and a full studio version.
Resolve has been optimized for MultiTouch technology and Apple Pencil and features support for cut and colour pages providing access to DaVinci’s image technology, colour finishing tools and latest HDR workflows.
