[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

I use my iphone 8 and just added filmic pro so I could use a blue tooth mic. This video is extremely helpful to me because I shoot a lot of 4k 60 and I;m hoping filmic pro will give me higher quality video. I capture a lot of fly fishing lines flying through the air, often in slow motion. As you can see, I need lots of help. looking forward to more of your tutorials on filmic pro as I have not used it yet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKGohIOPdrSZiqc

[@BrianFrey1]

Thanks, Benett! I've been using Filmic Pro for several years now, and there's no doubt that it allows more creative control. However, I've recently switched back to the native camera app with the new iPhone 12 Pro. I think the footage just looks better from the native camera app and the color grading advantages of using Log V2 or V3 are negligible. The native app's stabilization is better than Filmic Pro, and while you can "lock" exposure using Filmic, Apple hasn't granted direct sensor access to third-party apps with the newer iPhones. I've noticed that even when I lock exposure in Filmic, it still changes -- perhaps you've noticed this too?

[@BenettGraezer]

I think in the end you wont notice a big difference between using the stock camera or filmic pro. With the iPhone 12s dolby vision you definitely get more out of your image and have more leeway when color grading. I think when shooting interview or making a feature film, filmic pro can come in very handy as you have more control and can monitor the audio as well. I line the fact that is compatible with a lot of softwares. I use filmic remote on my iWatch a lot to live monitor which is very helpful. Yes that is a know issue with the exposure flickering even though its locked. Hopefully with future updates this will be fixed.

[@closetjimi]

Yes. Exposure still change in filmic pro. Can confirm.

[@wattage2007]

Apple's 'dynamic tone mapping' which third party apps can't switch off. Makes manual exposure impossible.

[@gunterkiphard887]

Same with the Iphone 14 pro, native is better and you can chose 3 Cams while filming.

[@honey4xi]

iPhone camera app has no the audio meter which we don’t know the audio is recording or not, or how loud or quiet the sounds we’re recording. I depend on Filmic Pro app that has the audio meter so that it's easy to manage the sound levels while I’m recording. Should we depend on the recording audio quality of the built-in mikes on Apple iPhones?

[@BenettGraezer]

No if you want the best audio quality invest in a good external mic 👍🏻

[@honey4xi]

@@BenettGraezer thank you.

[@VincentAlfonso]

Great video! I record theme park rides including Disney & Universal and I’m and learning to record in 4k and currently figuring out how to get the best low light with great lighting when filming some dark indoor rides compared to how people use regular cameras in 4k 24-60 fps quality. For the lighting, I’ve learned how to use exposure lighting and the highest on my iPhone is +2.0 for the 2 Disneyland rides - Pirates and Finding Nemo ride! Would the Filmic Pro be worth it for indoor low light settings like theme park rides in 4k? What would be the best settings in this app to record with all the things I mentioned? I currently use my iPhone 12 Pro for my videos but I’m planning to upgrade to the 14 Pro Max this month when it comes out!!

[@BenettGraezer]

Great job on the video 💯 Currently filmic pro has a high subscription plan so if you don’t have the app yet I would wait. I would try to use the exposure slider to reduce the iso, shoot at a lower frame rate like 24 fps and use the wide angle lens (one with the lowest aperture number). This way you will get the best low light results :)

[@mediamannaman]

Thank you! Very well done. I just learned about Filmic Pro a few days ago and my immediate (and obvious) questions were: Why do I need this? Can't I do everything I need to do in the native camera app, or in the Mimo app for my OM4? I searched KZbin for the answers and mostly just found videos explaining how to use Filmic Pro. Until now. This video answers the questions for the native camera app. I'd love to see a similar video comparing FP to the Mimo app.

[@BenettGraezer]

Thanks Mediamannaman ! Glad you like the comparison! Well in certain cases Filmic Pro does really come in handy for example when shooting interviews. When i shoot travel videos for example the standard camera does the job for me :)

[@mediamannaman]

@@BenettGraezer I’m a real estate photographer. I often use my iPhone (I just upgraded to the 12 pro Max) to film Zillow walk-through videos, so maybe don’t need Filmic Pro for that. But I may buy it anyway as a hobbyist. Hopeful that you will consider my idea of a video comparing Filmic Pro to the Mimo app. Your production quality is great and you explain things clearly. You are almost to 10 K subscribers, so congrats for that! Best wishes for 2021.

[@greenlightstudios3469]

Great Vid :). I think the only thing missing on this video is video comparison from Apple Native App to Filmic Pro log V3. I think you will see that under difficult lighting scenarios that the Apple Native Camera will be able to get more dynamic range. I'm finding that the Apple Native app benefits from all the computational Dynamic range enhancements and Filmic Pro gets a more base sensor readout before the computational science, therefore I am finding that Filmic Pro has Less dynamic Range then you think and also I am Finding that the Log V3 picture profile Dynamic range once color corrected is the same as the Filmic Pro "Natural" picture profile dynamic range, which again is far less than the Apple Native Camera app. I think the best way to illustrate this is that Apple Cam video should look the same as filmic Pro "Natural", at least you would think, but you can see that Filmic pro natural is not at all like Apples Camera in DR. I do believe that Filmic Pro Log is faked and not a true log. Other Cam apps like ProCam8 and StaCam seem to benefit from the apples computational Dynamic Range. I have been testing this theory all week and so far StaCam with specifically the V-LOG profile turned on is the best dynamic range I can get on the iPhone, plus it has fully manual controls. Now if you dislike the computational enhancement then non of my comments apply to you :) that's my 2 cents

[@greenlightstudios3469]

This is an old comment. I since found that filmic pro has local tone mapping which enables iPhone computational

[@JLyonsProductions]

Hey Bennett so I’m going to start using Filmic Pro for a short film. What should I do about sound? Should I use the phone audio or purchase an external digital recorder?

[@BenettGraezer]

Hi James! To record dialogues you want to be as close as possible to the sound source. You could either get help from someone to function as a boom operator an sync the audio in post or use a wireless mic. If you want the best audio possible i recommend purchasing an external mic than using the internal one on the smartphone 📲

[@tahirshaikh5397]

Really nice comparison, however I am torn between filmic pro & moment camera app, what would you recommend for iPhone?

[@BenettGraezer]

Glad you liked the comparison. Never used the moment camera app before. Might to a comparison on that maybe 🤔. I think one advantage that i know that the moment app doesn’t have is the software. Its compatible with the DJI OMs, you can also pair it with your apple watch, you can a lenses to you phone and so on.

[@JeramieSaito]

Great video. I have a question. So Fil Mic Pro can solve my overexposed footage? This is the problem I always get when shooting with my Iphone xsmax. The videos look overexposed and overblown. When I turned off the HDR now I see a shadow on the right part of my shoulder from my face. What do you think?

[@BenettGraezer]

If you shoot in HDR and work in a SDR work space in your editing software your footage will look blown out. Make sure to convert your footage from HDR to SDR to make it look normal and not overexposed.

hello benett ! how does filmic pro log compare to apple pro res for filmmaking on iphone 13 pro ? which is better ? can i get apple pro res from filmic pro?

[@BenettGraezer]

most people wont be shooting in ProRes because of its huge file size. LOG provides you with a flat image that gives you more flexibility when it comes to color grading and hasn’t a big file size. You can shoot in ProRes in Filmic Pro.

[@Frank-Felker]

Great video Bennett - I learned a lot! I have been trying to use an external mic with Filmic Pro but not having much luck. I am using a standard 3.5mm lavalier plugged into a Lighting adapter which I then plug into the bottom of my iPhone 11. No matter which mic I choose in Filmic Pro I don't see to be capturing any sound. What would Filmic call this mic if it recognizes it? It's not Front, Back, or Bluetooth. Is it Bottom? Or something else? Thanks very much.

[@BenettGraezer]

Thanks for the feedback. I think you are missing the SC7 which is a TRS to TRRS adapter which makes it compatible with the iPhone. In Filmic Pro (headset) should appear :) hope that helped

People watching the video wouldn’t notice the difference in quality if it was shot in 8 or 10 bit. For me as a mobile creator i want to have the best possible camera to get the most out of it and 10bit is surely great to work with. Yes you have the log option with the iphone 11 pro.

Would 125 shutter speed on 60fps still give the same/similar motion blur as 120 shutter on 60fps? Built in camera settings have a lot of features but jumps to 125 shutter speed instead of 120.

[@BenettGraezer]

No it won‘t give you the same motion blur effect. For a true motion blur effect you want to record in 24fps with a shutter speed of 1/50

[@car_ventures]

@@BenettGraezer awesome thanks for the quick reply! My camera does 30fps @60 shutter, or 60fps @125 shutter. Sadly no 24. It's pretty versatile otherwise, does pretty much everything the app does, so not sure if it's worth the cost(and battery) for the effective motion blur.

The fact that you cannot shoot at 4k50/60 in HDR is a big no for me. Especially when the native app can do it without any issue. The manual exposure is useless as well, since the exposure still change during the capture (Not the developer fault, since Apple doesn't allow to disable the auto tone mapping). After testing it for a few hours, I asked for a refund. The value for the cost was not here.
