I’m writing in response to your latest editorial and magazine article, iPad Vs. Mac. I’m a long–time Mac user (since the 80s), and have used a series of MacBook Pros for my film and video production work since their inception. However, I’ve been in between computers ever since Apple announced the transition to Apple silicon, and because I haven’t had the need for video editing capability during the course of the last year due to the pandemic.
While waiting for the next incarnation of the MacBook Pro, I’ve been using an iPad Pro 12.9–inch (2nd generation) for all of my work, which currently involves writing in Pages and the Final Draft Mobile app, creating spreadsheets in Numbers, drawing storyboards in Procreate with Apple Pencil, and navigating videos through the Vimeo and YouTube websites. I’ve been somewhat shocked to find out just how much I’ve been able to accomplish with an iPad Pro alone.
