iPad Pro For those of you who do casual video editing: what's your workflow and how much storage do you need?
Hi all!
The title says most of it.
I am looking to buy a 11 inch iPad Pro. I could likely get away with an Air, but I simply love the 120 Hz scrolling. Cannot do without it.
I will use it primarily for magazine reading, work PDF reading, work emails, browsing, etc.
But I also intend to use it for some casual video editing, e.g., when I am traveling, or when I am lazy on the sofa away from the Mac.
I record many of my bike rides via GoPro which often ends up being quite sizeable video files up to 40gb. No intention though to leave them on the iPad - they can go to the Mac and NAS for archiving.
Now the question: Can I get away with 128gb or should I upgrade to 256?
For those who use the iPad for video editing: do you usually move the footage off the iPad quickly once you are done editing, or is it painful not the have the option to let it sit there for a while until it piles up?
Thanks all!!

I use LumaFusion and it varies what I do with the end product - move it to NAS or desktop environment, move it to an SSD, leave it on the iPad, or a combination of all of the above. Comes down to whether or not I want a copy on the standalone iPad or whether I just want to access it on a remote device and/or storage. So the question you have to answer for yourself is whether you want a copy that can be viewed on your iPad independent of other access?Hi all!

I actually don't need to leave the files on the iPad. But heck, I think I go with 256gb, just to be on the safe side. Well done again, Apple.I use LumaFusion and it varies what I do with the end product - move it to NAS or desktop environment, move it to an SSD, leave it on the iPad, or a combination of all of the above.

128 GB is low for that use case in my opinion especially when you store other apps and content on your iPad. 256 sounds like a good starting point

You should probably go with the 256gb model. It will give you enough spare storage to import any video footage you wish to work with without having to worry about running out.Now the question: Can I get away with 128gb or should I upgrade to 256?

I do casual video editing (usually under 3 minutes) and 128gb is ample for me, though people that strive for HD quality and/or large length would be more comfortable with 256gb or even 512gb, or, for people that like archiving all of their footage, and would benefit from a RAM boost, 1TB or 2TB.
Oh, and I do it all via touch. Most enjoy using a keyboard but I've done so much touch editing that I've grown accustomed to it and would do significantly slower with a keyboard.
