The iPad Pro models, including those with the M4 chip (as there is no M3 chip in the latest iPad Pro models), offer high-quality 4K video recording capabilities. They can capture 4K video at 24 fps, 25 fps, 30 fps, or 60 fps, along with 1080p HD and 720p HD video recording options[1][4]. The iPad Pro also features advanced video stabilization, extended dynamic range, and continuous autofocus, which enhance the overall video quality[1][2].
Compared to other tablets, the iPad Pro stands out due to its robust hardware and software features. For instance, it supports ProRes video recording up to 4K at 30 fps, which is a professional-grade feature not commonly found in other tablets[2][4]. Additionally, the iPad Pro's display, with its Ultra Retina XDR technology, provides excellent viewing quality with high contrast and brightness, making it ideal for reviewing and editing video content[6].
In terms of video editing, the iPad Pro is quite capable, especially with the M4 chip, which offers improved performance over previous models[9]. However, for professional video editing, a laptop or desktop might still be preferred due to the larger screen size and more extensive software compatibility[9].
Other tablets may offer similar video recording capabilities but often lack the advanced features and ecosystem integration that the iPad Pro provides. For example, while some Android tablets can record 4K video, they might not have the same level of stabilization or professional video formats like ProRes. Overall, the iPad Pro is a strong contender in the tablet market for video recording and editing, thanks to its powerful hardware and software capabilities.
