Better than a laptop display, better than print

What makes the iPad 3 (yes, we'll be calling it the iPad 3) so much better for content creation? Two things The stunning Retina display and the significant boost in camera quality. Having already lived up to our greatest expectations, the new iPad goes all out to prove that it really is the most creative computer yet imagined. On the 16th March 2012 the next chapter of the iPad story begins. Please let us know if you find any differences in performance that you feel will be of benefit to our readers. We'll carry on testing and report back what we find. We are not suggesting that the iPad 3 is generally 33% faster than last years model, but rather that there are clearly some areas, video encoding is one example, where users will see a significant increase in performance. In others words, the iPad 3 was roughly 33% faster.

The iPad 2 completed the full export in 12:29. The iPad 3 completed the entire export, including copying the video to the camera roll in just 9:25. The new iPad was able to encode the final video significantly faster than realtime, taking just 7:59.

In our very first iPad 3 vs iPad 2 speed test, we recorded a 33% speed increase.įrom a cold start we exported an 11 minute 1080p iMovie project to the camera roll at 1080p. The the CPU at the heart the A5X is still dual-core and it's even running at the same 1GHz clock speed, only 3D applications and games should see a speed increase from the new quad-core graphics engine, right? Perhaps not. The general consensus around the web is that the new iPad is roughly the same speed as the older iPad 2. When you're finished, be sure to let us know and we'll share your film with our readers.

Shoot, edit and score your own movie - perhaps just some footage of your favourite local spot - you'll be surprised how quickly it all comes together. Why not set yourself a challenge over the weekend.

For example, when playing chords, you can either tap to play pizzicato, swipe up and down to bow slowly, or quickly swipe to get a chord with much more attack, it's genuinely ingenious. Getting just the right expression of each note was tricky at first, but once I realised that there are three ways of playing the instruments using the onscreen controls, things began to fall into place. Smart Strings turned out to be extremely powerful, deceptively so in fact. Abbotsbury Gardens is lovely this time of year, I knew that there would be lots of colour on show and that all the extra pixels of the new iPad, both in the display and the camera, would help me get those macro flower shots just right. With the in mind, I decided to shoot, edit and score a short film about a pleasant subtropical garden that's not too far from me. I wanted to get a better understanding of GarageBand's new Smart Strings section, plus I still felt that there was more to explore with the new iPad's camera. Nothing will hone your iPad skills quite like rising to a creative challenge.
