When it comes to video editing on the iPad Pro, several third-party apps stand out for their features and usability. Here are some of the best options:
1. LumaFusion
LumaFusion is highly regarded for its professional-grade features, making it ideal for advanced users. It supports multi-track editing, allowing for complex video compositions with multiple layers of video, audio, and effects. Key features include keyframing, color correction, and audio mixing, providing a desktop-level editing experience on mobile devices. However, it has a steeper learning curve and is more expensive than most apps[5].2. KineMaster
KineMaster offers a balance between ease of use and powerful tools. It supports multi-layer editing, allowing users to add and alter video clips, images, text, and effects simultaneously. It includes features like chroma keying and precision control for trimming clips frame by frame. However, the free version has a watermark, and full access requires a subscription[5].3. Filmora
Filmora is popular for its ease of use and extensive library of themes, templates, and playback tracks. It's designed for casual editors who need to create quick, engaging content for social media. While it's intuitive and fun to use, it lacks advanced editing features and has limited export options[5].4. Videoleap from Lightricks
Videoleap is known for its advanced compositing and visual effects capabilities. It allows layer-based editing, enabling users to stack multiple elements and manipulate them separately. This app is best for complex compositions or visual effects but can be overwhelming for beginners and requires a subscription for most features[5].5. Splice by GoPro
Splice is a straightforward app that helps create professional-looking videos. It's particularly popular among GoPro users and action video enthusiasts, offering intuitive editing tools and strong audio editing capabilities. However, some features are hidden behind in-app purchases, and it can be slow with longer videos[5].6. DaVinci Resolve
While not strictly a third-party app in the traditional sense (as it is developed by Blackmagic Design), DaVinci Resolve is a powerful video editing app available for iPad. It offers nearly all the tools found in its desktop version, making it a full-featured mobile video editing program. It's highly recommended for professional-grade editing and is free to use[3][9].7. Adobe Premiere Rush
Adobe Premiere Rush is a streamlined version of Adobe Premiere Pro, designed for faster and easier editing. It stores projects in the cloud, allowing access across devices. However, it lacks some advanced features compared to its desktop counterpart and requires a subscription for full functionality[5][9].Each of these apps caters to different needs and skill levels, from casual social media content creation to professional video editing.
