How I get the BEST image quality from FiLMiC PRO & iPhones

[@thelukaverse]

Thank you for what you do man. Your films are the best I have seen using iPhone by far.

[@iphoneographers]

Thanks!

[@cevxj]

Thanks. Couldn’t find this on their website

[@alexluthi89]

Great video! Exactly what I was looking for!

[@CosminRotaru]

Would be nice off exposure lock would also lock the tone mapping...

[@iphoneographers]

Definitely, but it doesn’t. But on the new 15 Pro shooting Apple log it’s resolved.

[@CosminRotaru]

@@iphoneographers is it? I was wondering... So log is before tone mapping in the pipeline? That would be cool! (I'm on 13pro, btw)

[@iphoneographers]

@CosminRotaru Yep. Tone mapping and sharpening are not present in Apple Log, but it’s 15 Pro/Max only.

[@CosminRotaru]

@@iphoneographers thank you for confirmation! I'm not planning to upgrade my phone but it's still nice to know the future looks better 😁 . My next wish is for apple to put some internal ND filters in the cameras 🙂

[@AdithyaShreshti]

Which is the mic that Chris is wearing? What do we call such mics?

[@jeffm.2857]

Thanks for explaining this. The stock iPhone camera app has annoying and sometimes distracting flicker when filming a scene with a bright blue sky or snow.

[@mdturnerinoz]

Thanks for this, Blake. I was pretty clueless before this in Global vs Local tone mapping! 🙏

[@Workingfilms]

Always love hearing from Chris! Thanks for this video gents. 👏 this cleared a bit up for me as I had it the wrong way around in my head, thinking that local would be better because it would only be affecting smaller parts of the image. Glad to have it clarified.

[@iphoneographers]

Technically local is better… But it’s more variable. And so it will change easier, however, be sure to test it out. With the later phones especially I’ve noticed that the “exposure shift” is not nearly as bad as it used to be. And in some cases it’s rocksolid. For me, if I’m shooting in a very high contrast scene especially if the camera is static I’ll probably use local. It’s noticeably better. Otherwise for most stuff global is probably the way to go. 👍🏻

[@Workingfilms]

@@iphoneographers thanks Blake!

[@SmartphoneFilmmaker]

I have looked at these tone mapping options for a little while now trying to figure out the what they mean in practical terms. Thanks for this insightful video!

[@BCE-111]

Thanks Blake. Some of the most insightful videos around. 👍

[@iSpike]

Thank you mate, great bit of information here. Very well presented. Cheers from DownUnder 👍🏻

[@RealWorldGarage]

Thanks Blake. Always appreciate the tips!!

[@MobileFilmmaking]

I just learned a lot. Thanks

[@AllAboutSpainbyBarryHaylor]

I checked my iPhone 13 pro max and it’s set at global already. Thanks for a interesting video on a subject not many talk about. Regards from Spain 🇪🇸

[@Powerdevpodcast]

Hello, Is filmic pro a weekly subscription on your iphone13 pro max? That's what it shows on mine but I though it was a one time fee

[@johnnyvalentineparker]

hey blake any of your shorts shot with the iphone 11?

[@iphoneographers]

Parts of this one was with an 11 Pro Max (the other part with a Sony a6400)… kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHy6e42rrtR0pZY

[@innatemusic]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@beebeeemm]

Great explanation!

[@BackToFE_OnlyTruth]

Such a great and informative video, thanks a lot👍🏻

[@austrian96]

Great thanks for your explanation!!!😁👌

[@TedTalksTech]

Great video

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

I noticed it happening but never knew why, not I know, cheers!

[@razor.premium]

Hey! Awesome work you do! Just wondering if actual shiftcam lenses will still work on iPhone 14’s bigger sensor?

[@iphoneographers]

I don’t have those to test out, but so far most lenses do seem to be working in initial testing I’ve seen. But not all, it’ll really be manufactured dependent. Will be doing extensive looks at that once I get cases and cages. Thanks for watching!

[@Powerdevpodcast]

Hello, please, is filmic pro a weekly subcription? On iphone 11 it shows a one time fee of about £12 and it showing about £4 per week on iphone 13. What's the problem please. I wish to use ot on Iphone 13 with a one time fee

[@iphoneographers]

Does it say that when you try to buy it on the App Store or is that once you have it and it’s an in-app purchase? Since I already have it I’m not seeing it. In the past it’s always been a one time fee and then you can buy in-app purchases like the CineKit or Film Looks etc.

[@caloyvideos]

Do we need to buy the latest iPhone.? ..or iPhone Xs Max is enough for Log V2.?

[@iphoneographers]

LogV2 works well on older devices. One of my favorite phones is still the iPhone 8 plus. And I use an 11 Pro Max routinely.

[@billcashin9287]

Blake, I signed up and took your course on filmic pro. However I am completely stumped as to why I take a video in portrait mode when I replay it in the filmic pro app it's in full portrait mode on my iPad. However when I take a video in landscape mode and replay it in the filmic pro app it looks likes it's into 1 x1 format and only takes up about 1/2 of the screen on my iPad. now if I move it to my iOS photo library it suddenly plays in full screen mode. 80 years old and terrible confused. I have been using filmic pro for several years and never had this problem before.

[@iphoneographers]

Hi Bill, first off thanks for taking the course and I hope it was educational for you! Regarding that issue… that’s a weird one I haven’t encountered. My first thought is to say do a hard restart of your phone. The kind where you hold the buttons down for 5+ seconds and the phone completely turns off. Then restart it where you see the Apple logo again. The issue sounds like a bug to me, especially since it seems to only happen in Filmic. The other thing I wondered was if it’s possible you shot something with anamorphic accidentally on (desqueeze) or possibly an aspect ratio crop. But since it looks normal in the Photos library that’s probably not it. The last thing to do would be to actually reinstall FiLMiC Pro. Delete it from your phone and then re-download it from the App Store. However, if you do this make sure you SAVE any videos from the app first otherwise they will be deleted. Let me know if any of this helps or if you still haven’t figured it out. -BC

[@billcashin9287]

@@iphoneographers Blake thanks for the suggestions, however, no change. on my iPhone 11 Pro no issue, it's just with my old 9.7 inch iPad pro. I am really unhappy that even though I have submitted to emails describing the issue to the filmic help desk I have had no response from them.

[@stasz.lepszewideo]

Whoa, that was some serious knowledge. Thanks! Subbed :)

[@iphoneographers]

Thanks!

[@YouAndImpact]

Great video 👍

[@MiMetaverso]

Great video, I have a question, when I use filmic pro in horizontal (handheld) and I lock reticles (exposure and focus) If I move the iPhone and the screen rotates to vertical, both reticles automatically unlock so I have to manually check again all the setting to be sure that it is appropriate . Is this something that i'm doing wrong? It's a bug? Is as it has to be? Thanks!

[@Daniverse96]

Hi you have to lock the orientation, in “device settings” there is a toggle for it

[@lamoviola]

@@Daniverse96 yes, the orientation is just an example, if you turn off the display or switch to another app you have the same issue, filmic does not maintain the reticles “in red”

[@iphoneographers]

I rarely shoot vertically, but I have noticed that before and I think it’s just a quirk. Or maybe a bug. You can lock the screen orientation within Filmic Pro if you’d like and that’s actually what I do especially for moving the phone around a lot.

[@MiMetaverso]

@@iphoneographers Thanks for your response. Neither do I shoot vertically but you know sometimes you stop recording and move the iPhone (moreover if you shoot handheld), as you say the only way to avoid this is locking the device rotation, so who knows? could it be fine to know the explanation of this behavior from the developers. Good job my friend keep going on! Love your channel!

[@hustlerstudiomfg]

blake whats good! thanks for your videos. just recently dived in to the phone videography. I got a question. ND filters for phone, which one would you recommend? Moment, Sandmarc or moondog?

[@iphoneographers]

I personally like Freewell or Moment, but I use Freewell the most. These are my favorite… kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKatYoKogZxrnM0 but their other non-magnetic ones are great, too. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!

[@habib-sv6zo]

And android ?

[@zilinhuang8949]

And the next goal is disable noise reduction in video

[@bardicdad]

Why not just lock the white balance?

[@iphoneographers]

Dynamic tone mapping overrides everything. And it’s more exposure shifts than white balance shifts. But absolutely, you lock all your settings.

[@prodj.mixapeofficial6431]

Got lgv40 and new filmic pro, got blocky noise on my footage specifically mid to dark area, 4k.24fps.10bit.logv3.filmicquality. It's like blinking patches. Anyone encounter same problem?

[@iphoneographers]

No, have not encountered that. Was it shot in low light and on what camera?

[@CartyCantDance]

nevermind my last comment. I found this video.

[@vedataslan6121]

Local tone mapping looks more cinematic and professional. Global tone mapping looks like amateur digital cameras.

[@AliazAfe]

Nop . Local ton mapping looks like just iPhone footage lol

[@sonidojamon]

Answer in 2024: By using Blackmagic Camera App

[@iphoneographers]

Ha, sorta. But there’s a lot missing with it and hope it continues to improve… kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3a1lp-khriNl6M
