FiLMiC Pro vs McPro24fps Android Camera App

Recently an app called McPro24fps has made a good stab at snatching the lead from FiLMiC Pro. And in this video, I’m going to compare the 2 apps and see which one comes out on top.

Interesting to see an Android only filming app. They seem to have tapped into something there but they definitely need to simplify the interface. Great and detailed comparison. : )

[@prasadj2k]

Great tutorial. Probably the best McPro24fps app tutorial available on KZbin.

[@cubul32]

indeed

[@FoodStuffdxb]

This is the first I'm hearing of McPro24fps but it seems really good. Will definitely give it a shot. Seems to have better reviews on the Play Store than ProTake. I've used Filmic for my past few videos and now that I got the hang of if I really love it. Would love if you could take a look at some of my vids and give me some feedback. All the vids are shot on my S10 Plus. Thanks for all the good work you do on this channel!

[@mumbaikachallenge5526]

Wow such a Great comparison ❤️

[@ac5197]

Great video! I have both apps but frankly, the MCPro24 is extremely awkward to use, so I still prefer FilmicPro.

[@king6463]

I'v been hearing lots of good things about this app lately 😎

[@SiHorrocks]

My mistake: you can set 24fps and 1/50 shutter in Filmic Pro. There's a 50hz shutter setting in the same menu where you set frame rate. There's also a blog version of this video, if you want to refer to it: momofilmfest.com/filmic-pro-vs-mcpro24fps-android-camera-app-for-video/

[@omar_b_here]

the main issue is Filmic Pro hides features in menus rather than McPro24fps which have dedicated buttons.

[@krane15]

I think in this case the choice comes down to whether its close enough to FP to negate the need for a subscription to that app. For those that are asking the question, I think the answer would be a resounding yes.

[@inneruniverse6781]

Great video, so many useful informations! If I may ask, do you know how does Mc pro 24 fps works with Huawei p20?

[@alexandrosdamoulianos5700]

I think the main question here is if it works better on given devices, because as we all know Filmic pro has many compatibility issues with most Android devices. When I asked Filmic Pro's technical support what Android device it works best on, they suggested Samsung s10 and note 10, but even the users of these particular devices claim to have problems and crashes.

[@servianx394]

Although I have Note 10 plus (exynos) and I'm happy how filmic works in general there are moments when I'm tired of seeing how controls flip vertical and they won't flip back to horizontal position ehh (restart is the solution only)

[@user-cj3gu8wb5o]

Hello, thank you for uploading a good video. I have a question. Can these two apps support hdr for 4k 60fps? And as of now, which app would be better to use for Android (I'm the LG G8 model)? Since I am a beginner in video, I prefer to be user-friendly and have less video editing (including color control).

[@fluxcobalt4646]

Thank you for this review. I like FilMic Pro and I like this app also. However McPro24fps gives me more access to my phone camera settings than FilMic Pro which is great. I will continue to use both apps because each one has features that I like.

[@daisypatritio572]

I was intending to use my LG V40 android phone for filming only when mounted to my DJI OM 4 gimbal. If I install and open the McPro24fps Android Camera App, will the gimbal continue to have the awesome functionality that I get with the DJI Mimo App?

[@openyoureyesandseetheworld9949]

Questions: Do any of these apps let you change the autofocus speed ? The speed how fast or slow it pulls automatically between the focused areas? I am torn a bit between these two. I need maybe a bit more simple UI but definitely want to experiment with flat profiles... and 10 bit as well but that is supported by both. I wish you put up a developer team and make a video app for us! I really enjoy your videos, your calming warm father type voice, the way you don't feel the need to shout as many youtubers do. Thanks.

[@gunchief0811]

From what I've gathered this app caters more to android users. And also offers at least 7 things that the filmic pro app does not offer to me that makes this the better app for me. But It's up to each individual film maker to figure that out dor his or herself. Nut really overall a great job in designing and development of this app for cellphone cinematography. Just a great support tool to have in ur arsenal of tools to use... Now its about practice and repeating the success and I'm sure there will be updates ahead so it's worth the 14.99 price tag tag in my opinion....

[@krane15]

If it does, its one of the few. Almost 80% of these apps available are exclusive to the iphone.

[@MrChiprocks1]

6:45 So, in order to gain access to higher frame rates like 120, you need to turn off GPU. I get that, but when you want to access the color profiles 9:59, you need to have GPU on. This obviously will go against what I want to use personally (Flat or LOG with 120fps). So has this been updated recently so that you can have access to both at once now or is it still an either/or option?

10 bits in a phone video, does it really work? appreciate if you compare it to an 8bit video

[@marcoe1400]

Nice video, thanks. Is there any way to find out how good the app works before buying it? Filmicpro has this evaluator app to check out. Was just wondering as it seems to depend on camera2api and now e.g. I don't know whether the log profiles can also be used on my device. Another question I hope u can answer... Is there an option to also shoot flat profile? Thanks!

[@SiHorrocks]

hi Marco. If you send them a message via their Facebook page, they are in my experience quick to reply. So far I have had good answers too. In their FAQ they say you can try it and return it within 48 hours if you are not happy mcprotector.lv/faq/

[@danielayuba8676]

Please what gimbal does the MCpro24fps support?

[@Middlestepofficial]

If they make gimbals control integration with the app - that's gonna be the ultimate winner.

[@ronaldquint]

Slightly off topic, what are your thoughts about using a dedicated lens/filter mount such as beastcage? Or does the clip suit you better?

[@SiHorrocks]

I use both, depending on the situation. Clip or cage :)

[@bluenightsky]

I have a Moment lens case and I find it super convenient. Only thing is that I don't use the case for every day phone use, only when I'm using one of their lenses.

[@bluenightsky]

It's funny the things you say about mcpro being cluttered and looking complicated, that's exactly how I felt and still do feel to some degree about filmic pro. I think you just think it's easier to use because you use filmic pro all the time. But filmic pro definitely looks cluttered and is complicated to use for a beginner. I like mcpro's visual buttons more than filmic pro. I'm a visual person and I can more easily associate a feature with an icon than with menu systems.

[@SiHorrocks]

McPro has these long lists of settings, like Open Camera. Which is fine if you like tinkering with all these settings

[@YgorCortes]

Awesome! Now can you please show us how to record HDR video with these apps? There are so many settings it gets very confusing!

[@s.chaubey8098]

lol

[@DavidOliver_Skier]

I applaud competition for FilmicPro, even though I very much like that app. The UX implementation on McPro24fps is clearly "1.0", so what we are seeing is the initial expression of what these developers think a proper UX needs to be, with refinements to come over time. Personally, I found FilmicPro completely intuitive right from the start even though I have almost no video experience. So, that's where I'll stay.

[@MrSTVR]

Google play Store says it has in-app purchases: what are they in this case, particularly if it already has LOG functions? Further, probably dumb question but would I be able to use this to shoot in 24FPS on my Huawei if anything below 30FPS gets greyed out in Filmic Pro?

[@SiHorrocks]

I didn't see any in app purchases. The app itself is not free, log is available for the initial cost. I'm not sure about your device, but the McPro24fps Facebook page is pretty quick to answer questions

I'm LG V40 ThinQ user. 10 bit video recording is only available when turning on HDR10 option in LG's native camera app. When shooting non HDR10 videos its only 8 bit. I'm not sure if it's available on LG V50 and LG V60.

[@SiHorrocks]

ok good to know, thanks

[@daisypatritio572]

I'm also an LG V40 ThinQ user but new to filming with it. Does McPro24FPS offer significant advantages over Manual Mode in the native LG app?

[@satpandora1555]

@@daisypatritio572 yes. It does give us more features than the native camera app on LG V40 ThinQ. I shot 10sec 4K 24fps video clip with native camera app and Mcpro 24fps app. The video clip file size is 69 MB shot with native camera app and the video shot with Mcpro 24fps file size is 182 MB. That's a big difference in bitrate that's what we really wanted. Not just a bitrate there are lot more features than native camera app. Interface of mcpro24fps is not that easy compare to filmic pro and protake. Especially programmable focus points. We need to spend bit more time to understand for the first time.

[@alexreeves9703]

When using Filmic Pro and my Xiaomi 9T Pro with the 'standard' settings for cinematic footage, I get a completely blown out, overexposed screen. As soon as my shutter rate is at 1/48 it's unusable. Whereas in McPro it's absolutely fine. Any ideas on this, Simon? It frustrates me that Filmic is supposed to be for smartphone cinematography yet the default settings for cinematic footage are impossible to use on my phone without an ND filter! Awesome tutorial btw.

[@SiHorrocks]

I believe Filmic have not listed the Xiaomi 9T Pro as being compatible with in this post: filmicpro.helpscoutdocs.com/article/53-android-device-compatibility good to know that McPro works well though. Moment dropped android from their camera app because there's too many devices to handle. Filmic are mainly focused on iOS, although they still maintain their android version. MCPro24fps are dedicated to android though
