M2 iPad Pro can record ProRes video, but you'll need a third-party app

Apple last week announced a new generation of iPad Pro, now available in stores. Aside from the faster M2 chip, there's nothing really exciting about this new iPad—except perhaps that it can record ProRes video. But unlike the iPhone, the new M2 iPad Pro requires third-party apps.

Shooting ProRes video on iPad Pro is not as simple as it seems

There is no way to enable ProRes video in the iPad's native camera app. If you go into the camera settings, the option isn't there either. On supported iPhone models, users can enable ProRes video directly in the Camera app with just one tap. But how do users shoot ProRes video on the M2 iPad Pro?

The answer is: There is an app! For some unknown reason, the only way to shoot ProRes video with the new iPad is to use a third-party app downloaded from the App Store. MacOtakara Was able to confirm this strange limitation by using FiLMiC Pro on an M2 iPad Pro. After installing the app, users can choose between ProRes 709 and ProRes 2020 codecs to shoot videos.

It's unclear whether Apple is intentionally not letting users shoot ProRes video using the iPadOS camera app, or whether the lack of ProRes in the app is just a bug. However, many users may be confused by the fact that they can't find one of the new iPad's key features without installing an app.

Just like on the iPhone, ProRes video on the M2 iPad Pro is limited to 1080p resolution and 30fps for the 128GB storage model. Shooting ProRes 4K on iPad requires a model with 256GB of storage or more.

The new iPad Pro maintains the same design and screen size as before, but now uses Apple's M2 chip - the same one that launched earlier this year in the MacBook Air. Apple has also added support for the faster 6E Wi-Fi standard and more 5G bands.

With the new hover feature, iPad notices when Apple Pencil is hovering above the screen. This means that user interface elements can bounce when ready for expected user interaction.
