I wanted Apple’s Final Cut Pro on my iPad Air M2 to be a legit laptop replacement.
Instead, it became a crash-happy, stuttering mess.
Thanks to Apple Creator Studio, I finally gave Final Cut on iPad a real shot. I’ve been a long-time LumaFusion user, but with Apple bundling pro apps for $12.99/month, I figured now was the moment to switch.
Spoiler: it didn’t go well.
