Edit iPad Video with New App: Avid Studio

iPad was first critized by some for being geared toward content consumption rather than creation when it was first released in early 2010. But what for sure is that iPad becomes quite an effective way to read and watch videos, you can convert video to iPad for ultimate enjoyment, but the tablet form factor is well on its way to maturing into a full-fledged content creation tool.

The fresh released Avid Studio is not the first video-editing app for the iPad, but it does stand out as one of the most sophisticated offerings out there. Anyone who takes Avid's desktop video-editing suite into uses will be quite familiar with its interface, in addition, iMovie or Final Cut Pro X users also know well of its interface.

When this app launched, it starts to scan your iPad's media library for video clips, photos and audio files. You need to import the target content onto your iPad first if you want to work on specific project. You can do simple editing by touching elements, dragging them and dropping them onto the storyboard. Besides, Avid Studio is equipped with a few transitions, montage effects and text frames. With just a few taps and drags, clip splitting and reordering will be done.

Nowadays, professional-quality video editing is going to be done on a desktop suite like Avid Pro or Final Cut Pro X. So in addition to Facebook, email and YouTube exports, Avid lets you push projects to their desktop application to take things to the next level. This app will also do you a favor if you have basic or even some other sophisticated editing needs. And for iPad 2 that comes with a camera, it offers a great way to shoot a few basic angles of video, cut it up and patch it all together on the go. It is rare that the raw video you shoot on an iOS or Android device ready for prime time once the record button ceased. The ability to edit it directly on the iPad offers a nice middle ground between uploading junk and importing everything to the desktop for more extensive modifications.

Avid Studio is priced at $4.99, cheaper than the tablet version. The company prepares to raise the app's price to $7.99 in the following weeks.

What iPad 3 Looks Like: Quad-core Processor, Wi-Fi and Global LTE Options

iPad 3 may be one of the most anticipating electronic products in 2012. Although it had been discussed over for a lot of times, and rumors concern about have flooded over the internet, we never know the real and specific details of Apple iPad 3. A source claiming to be in possession of an iPad 3 prototype provided BGR with images containing details about Apple's highly anticipated third-generation tablet.

We can get a lot of information about the upcoming iPad 3 from the data in the photos which include the output from an iPad 3 using a development and debug tool called iBoot. As a starter, the model numbers are J1 and J2 (iPad3,1 and iPad3,2), and while DigiTimes reported this not long before, these two models are not different devices but a single iPad available in two versions: one with Wi-Fi only and the other with Wi-Fi and embedded GSM/CDMA/LTE for all carriers.

In addition, what included in the photo confirms which processor Apple will employ in the new iPad 3 for the first time: an A6 processor with model number S5L8945X. For reference, the Apple A4 model was S5L8930X and the A5 is S5L8940X. With the new quad-core processor, the upcoming iPad 3 will become the fastest devices ever.
