    I wonder wether they’ve completely rewritten the code base for the iPad version. 
    Wouldn’t be surprised if they are 2 completely different applications. 
    Let’s not forget that FCPX is quite old by now.
     
    I suspect the iPad version is the more modern version of the two, but not having feature parity with macOS. I won’t be surprised if the macOS codebase at some point gets replaced by the iPad version.

    The lack of ability to import a project from FCP on Mac is a complete deal-breaker. I downloaded the free trial, but this is nothing more than a slightly more advanced version of iMovie. The ability to draw on a frames is interesting, but without object tracking, it’s fairly useless as anything but a gimmick, or possibly for taking notes on an edit.

    So… how is the FCP for iPad better than iMovie?  The video review did not say, the comments do not either.  One of the way iMovie can be used is rough edits to clips and general editing prior to bringing in the project to Final Cut Pro on the Mac. Which seems to be substantially the same benefit as FCP for iPad.
    A cost benefit analysis is in order, this vs iMovie, please.
