Its been my new go-to app for iPhone since it came out, and on the iPhone 15 - AMAZING!

[@PrimalVideo]

Nice, glad you're enjoying it Doug 😀 - Hazel, PV Team

[@watchingforfun17]

Phenomenal video. Thank you so much.

[@PrimalVideo]

Glad you enjoyed it. You're welcome - Hazel, PV Team

[@jessetaldotcom]

Excellent walk-through!

[@PrimalVideo]

Glad you liked it 👍 - Hazel, PV Team

[@rudi-gruber]

Great. Which App would you recommend for Android?

[@dementianinja]

Nice! Thanks, PV Team!

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome 😊 - Hazel, PV Team

[@travel_paradise]

Well done, thanks

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome, have a great day - Hazel, PV Team

[@georges_crafts]

I normally used to camera off the film but this video was helpful

[@PrimalVideo]

So glad it helped - Hazel, PV Team

[@chelo111]

can you use the app to connet to the blackmagic pocket cinema cameras ???? please tell me yes

[@RussellWatsonFMHL]

Nice replacement for Filmic Pro. One question: Where/how does HDMI come out to external devices?

[@mostube2000]

Thanks

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome - Hazel, PV Team

[@user-wk6tp1og3l]

Hi you still use davinci? I'm gonna need your help on something

[@gregorykelly2949]

I like the app very much but unfortunately , the Smallrig remote button will not actuate the camera. Maybe Black Magic could fix this

[@pdcorlis]

When shooting portraits, why not hold the camera vertically to use more of the sensor?

[@SakhaNature]

is it due with samsung?

[@tomtube1012]

Can you shoot photos with this app? Or is it only for videos? Just want something to control shutter speed so my pictures of my computer monitor doesn't have lines on it.

[@mosijahi3096]

No not yet

[@gangs0846]

Lens correction ?

[@edgardoarroyo7418]

Why when doing video with my Iphone 13 Pro max the video look yellow and dark??

[@teamlifejournal]

Need one for Android

[@jordanbey870]

Is there one for android??

[@mosijahi3096]

Not yet

[@KevinRiggle]

9:24 Justin what the _heck_ is going on with your mics, I want a video on your stereo shotgun game _please and thank you_

[@PrimalVideo]

Haha I have one connected directly into the camera, and the other is usbc to the computer so I’m recording two separate sources as a backup. I only ever use one in a finished video. We had some issues a while back so thought we’d just add in some redundancy. Justin.

[@KevinRiggle]

@@PrimalVideo oh brilliant, thank you for the context!

[@SalomeSeroney-vx8me]

I just downloaded this and the it’s not full camera

[@goaboi]

Still can’t shoot flat for non pro models

[@jagdishonglobe]

How to open front camera?

[@justadddirt]

Click on lens and front camera is there

[@sentimentaloldme]

In my opinion all these camera apps do not give the same quality video as the native camera app. Most phones have pro mode for use with the native camera app and include most of the above settings.

[@dan-gabrielcoltescu6986]

You are right. The quality of the images is better with the native app. The Blackmagic App is designed for the users that would like to practice a little bit of cinematography. And also the fact that you can edit the shots in Davinci Resolve and even color grade them it’s the best practice ever.

[@grzegorzkrajewski1095]

The big problem of this app - there is no 48mm lens, that is one of native of iPhone 15 pro.

[@Lida22]

You failed to mention it's **FREE** !! It would also be good to mention the cost of the BlackMagic cloud service.

[@marcodeluca4068]

Wow, None of these black magic tutorials tell you how to save your video

[@davescorneroftheworld1147]

I guess I am confused! You said this was the BEST CAMERA app for 2024. What about shooting STILLS?? If this app does NOT shoot stills how can it be the best CAMERA app for 2024????????????? I guess I am just stupid!!!!!!!!!!

[@mosijahi3096]

You have your perception the meaning of camera. Camera is used for both for video and still.since this video is about video the the term camera applies.

[@davescorneroftheworld1147]

@@mosijahi3096 Soooooooo, it is a VIDEO camera app and NOT a CAMERA app. I am not confused any longer. Thank you for setting me right.

[@livingsimplytosimplylive6817]

Awe man okay you win

[@PrimalVideo]

Cool - Hazel, PV Team

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

As an absolute novice I struggled with this video. The app looks ridiculously complicated and this tutorial is only for the menu . It’s inside the menu that needs explaining. I’m sorry but this put me off getting the App . 🙁

[@RussellWatsonFMHL]

For some, the native app is already challenging. Go with that.

[@TimRubel]

No one is seriously using their iPhone for photography where is the Android app?

[@mgscheue]

🤔

[@RussellWatsonFMHL]

@@mgscheue FYI with several mirrorless cameras and a hefty budget I chose the IPhone over all of them for stills & videos. I create 1080P content and the iPhone 13 does a better job than any on video and an excellant job on photos.
