Final Cut Pro for iPad brings Apple's pro editor to a touch screen. It's designed around the iPad, with a timeline you drive with your fingers, and Live Multicam lets you film from up to four iPhones or iPads at once and cut between them.

Apple has added smart helpers too: Beat Detection to cut to music, Auto Crop for different aspect ratios, Enhance Light and Color for quick fixes, intelligent search to find shots, and Generate Captions for subtitles.

It now comes with Apple Creator Studio, a bundle that also includes Logic Pro and Pixelmator Pro, for $12.99 a month or $129 a year after a free month. It's iPad only, so on iPhone look at Premiere or LumaFusion instead.
