Still works as before, but problems exporting in 4K
ScottD1
UPDATE: Just buy Luma Fusion I’ve read other saying the app is no longer supported. They buy it, install it and are welcomed with a video and link to Rogers on how to use it. But it also states it no longer supported. Shouldn’t they have to disclose this in the App Store description then? It’s not a $0.99 app after all. After some searching I’ve found Luma Fusion and highly recommend it. It’s made by the same developers that sold pinnacle studio pro to Corel. I guess the non-compete contract was up so they decided to make something even way better then pinnacle studio pro ever was, and continue to give it new features with updates making it even better.
I've been using this app for years, and its hasn't disappointed. Nice to see it now one buy for both the iPad and iPhone, good addition going universal. But it needs an update, I'm getting an error on exporting in 4K, something about not being compatible with my OS. Hmm, it's the latest iOS. Content was shot also on latest iOS in 4K on iPhone 6S. Video is being edited on iPad Air 2 and I know iMovie can export 4K. So my guess is something with the app needs updated. I also transferred the file from the phone to the iPad using airdrop. Most likely others will be doing the same. Please update and thanks for the continued support and features.

A bit upset
MaddZax
I recently purchased an iPad Pro, and to make a long story, I was very disappointed in the abilities of iMovie. Not that iMovie is bad, but it didn't even come close (as far as the iMacs version) in terms of options. With that being said, Pinnacle Studio Pro looked to be the best option for me.
However, after spending $13 for the Pro version, and spent well over a half hour trying to figure the options, and single layer video out, I'll say I'm extremely disappointed. I really want to enjoy this, but the options just aren't there. If they can just add some layers for videos, I'd give this five stars. It's getting two stars because not only has the app crashed a couple of times, but the lack of options (no layers, no filters, no included music, etc) are really hurting it.

The party's over

Well Pinnacle Studio Pro, there's a new app in town and I'm sure I don't have to say the name of it. All the things I've been begging for, more layers, color filters, even things I didn't ask for like fx are there. I want to keep you on my iPad for nostalgic sake, but let's be honest, what's the point? For this app to even be in the running again there has to be some MAJOR updates and improvements, and given how I've been completely ignored in my years of reviewing this app, let's face it, that's never going to happen, and while we're being honest, there were just too many things missing to keep me from going back to my laptop. While it was somewhat fun while it lasted, so long, and thanks for all the fish.
