An App Store Award finalist and filmmaker fave, this postproduction essential allows editors to juggle color corrections, visual effects, audio editing, and more—all on iPad.

What we love: Not having to trade performance for simplicity. Edit multilayered projects with little to no lag, and export large files on the go. DaVinci Resolve packs the same feature-filled punch as the desktop version, including Magic Mask, an AI-powered tool that automatically identifies entire elements (objects, people, and landscapes) with just a touch.

Quick tip: Try using your Apple Pencil to apply pro-grade color corrections. Browse the color wheel to find the right shade, lift or lower tone curves, and see which colors already exist in an image, mixing up the saturation or hue to your liking.
