Hats off to them. Film editing is such a time consuming mind numbing tedious process for me. I have tried it with family videos with a normal keyboard and mouse and to imagine doing it on an iPad, touch only...

I have done some minor video producing with a proper equipment and then small flocks on iOS / Android. I understand the filming part, though iPad probably does not offer any advantage of mobile cameras. But is there a need to edit on iPad? Any laptop with a proper desktop UI is much more powerful for this purpose.

  iPad Pro has more than enough power to edit on, and when applications are designed to be interacted with via touch or pencil, the experience is a productive one. I don't do video, but a photographer (Ted Forbes) who's YouTube channel I really enjoy released a video yesterday about how he's switching to LumaFusion and gave some reasons and thoughts on why. https://youtu.be/4fRJXJCEIyw https://youtu.be/4fRJXJCEIyw

  I'd say it's more practical to do it on the iPad, but I haven't tried.

I don't do it a lot but I am pleased at the speed I can do it now It was mind numbing and tedious editing when I had a pentium 4 editing to VGA resolution now its like 1080P on my laptop and things go super fast. 2K, 4K, 8K has zero utility for me so this is perfect. Ipads are also fast enough, but I like the idea of having a fast enough networking connection to still render on more powerful machines nearby or in the cloud

  I would generally consider iPad to be much more limited by its UI than its processing power.

    A touch interface can make editing much easier than doing it with mouse and keyboard (proper hardware excluded).

      I've been converted to the "add peripherals" side, personally. The standards are developed enough and the selection is broad enough to dial in whatever balance of price, portability, ergonomics and device features is desired - at the extreme end, a USB OTG hub connecting your full size mechanical keyboard, MMO mouse, graphics tablet, game controllers, and flash drives, and at the other, pocket folding Bluetooth keyboards and mini mice. It turns a phone or tablet into "just a screen" - a viable entry level workstation only held back by software and processing capacity.

I've been doing movie editing for more than a decade and doing it on the iPad seems like such a smooth experience. I just want to edit that timeline with my fingers. Note that I haven't tried it byt this is my intuition.
