Can I use Final Cut Pro on my iPhone or iPad with Apperture?
Yes — by streaming Final Cut Pro from your Mac with Apperture. The desktop app runs on your Mac; your iPhone or iPad displays its window and sends remote input back. You need a reachable, awake Mac with Final Cut Pro installed, the free Apperture Mac host, and the Apperture app on your iPhone or iPad.
Final Cut Pro also has an iPad edition, and Final Cut Camera has its own iPhone capture workflow. Apperture gives you access to the Mac editor. Use your Mac for precise cuts and final quality checks. Apple’s Final Cut Pro overview.
