Yes, you can use 3D trackers for color grading on the iPad version of DaVinci Resolve. The software includes an array of advanced color grading tools, similar to its desktop counterpart, which are designed to work seamlessly with the iPad's touch interface. The color page in DaVinci Resolve for iPad features primary and secondary color grading tools, including PowerWindows, qualifiers, and 3D trackers. These tools allow for precise control over color adjustments, enabling users to isolate specific parts of an image and apply detailed color corrections.
The 3D tracker is particularly useful for tracking objects or regions within a scene, allowing for dynamic color grading that follows the movement of these elements. This feature is essential for creating complex and nuanced color grades, especially in scenes with moving subjects or changing lighting conditions.
While the iPad version of DaVinci Resolve is optimized for touch input, it retains the node-based workflow that is characteristic of the desktop version. This means that users can create multiple nodes to apply different effects and corrections in a serial or parallel manner, making it easy to manage complex color grading tasks.
In terms of performance, the iPad version is optimized for devices with M1 and M2 chips, ensuring smooth operation even with demanding tasks like 3D tracking and color grading. However, the effectiveness of these features can depend on the specific iPad model and its processing capabilities.
Overall, DaVinci Resolve for iPad offers a robust set of color grading tools, including 3D trackers, making it a viable option for professional-grade color work on a mobile device.
