iPhone: Everything You Need to Know About Making Videos

[@ibrahimrifai7086]

Thanks! Could you kindly make a video for the apple Final Cut camera app 😎 I think it will go well with what people are doing on Final Cut Pro apps on Mac’s

[@pdcorlis]

Thanks for this video. Many “experts” overlook the many features only found in the native camera app. While not perfect, the Cinematic mode is a great way to separate the subject from the scene - when the shot requires it. It’s also a 10 bit file IF you shoot with HDR switched on.

[@RichAesthetic]

I’m excited to hear what you think about the Final Cut camera application

[@AlwayzOneHunnit]

:( I don't have an iPhone, I only have a very old Android but would like an iPhone to help with my videos, also your thumbnails are sooo clear and nice. Thanks for the video.

[@JackGardner-c7d]

The shotgun sounded better than the wireless mics in my opinion. Thank you for all your hard work in this video.

[@hennwei]

Finally. now i can buy the phone as a business expense.

[@thabangkhatide]

I just got mine today❤all the best

[@jdscown]

Great video, thank you. Maybe you could do a video on iPhone media management and workflow.

[@stalman]

That’s a tough one 😅 I manage most our video shoots on the Mac and edit in Final Cut and only deal with quick projects on the phone

[@KathehFIT]

Wow!!! I’m mind blown! By the action mode! 😮 I never knew we had that!

[@JMcCormick66]

Great video! I have an iPhone 14 Pro and have been wondering how to make the most of its camera for a while now - this video popped up at the perfect time :)

[@KathehFIT]

I know a lot people like rode but boya hasn’t failed me yet :)

[@sayheytosid]

So much great info, thanks Tyler!

[@RaheelZahir]

Will we get one for photography?!

[@MorpheusReign1133_Flybrofly]

Extremely helpful thank you

[@realMartinHamilton]

Was this video filmed on the iPhone 16 Pro Max?

[@mellowmel2012]

Very comprehensive coverage! Thank you!

[@ideasforu358]

Thank you so much for the video. I record many dance videos . All your tips would be soo much useful. Also what are your thoughts on DJI OSMO Pocket 3 ? Thanks again.

[@grace-kk8rh]

Thanks. I’m a casual user over fifty years old. So thanks for the detailed explanation. 😊

[@anasbuzybee9910]

Very good video. I have an Iphone 15 Pro and your video clarify many of my doubts. Just one thing, at the link of "Rode video Mic ME", the link is not working. Every time I clicked there send me to a different advertisement . I don't know if that is right.

[@stalman]

Thanks for letting me know, no idea what might have been wrong but hopefully it’s fixed now

[@madelineasmr926]

This was so helpful!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@mooncakecookie]

And what clamp/accessory do you recommend for horizontal filmmakers?

[@goddsontour]

Great video, thank you

[@tybrady4598]

If I’m shooting 4K 30 FPS and I’m not in the sun, will my iPhone 15/16 Pro Max overheat if I’m creating a several hour long video? (I’ll use a USB hub with external SSD and extra battery with enough power for everything. ) Thank you!

[@Jefe3]

What kind of camera you shooting this video with? It’s tuff

[@RockinWranglers-mp4zb]

I run a dinner show with lots of lighting and effects. I can get fairly good recordings with my iphone 15 promax, but still run into lighting exposure issues when the lights are changing from one color to another. Is there a setting that I'm missing, that can help with this? Also, is there a mic you would recommend pairing with the iphone for recording live music? Thank you for providing outstanding videos and information!

[@agewellsimply]

Thank you. What is your recommendation for length of recording? I'm shooting an interview and would like to capture 60 minutes of footage at a time. Also, does this store on the iPhone or in the Cloud? I image this would take a lot of memory. Thanks in advance.

[@Goldenb0y_6]

Wow what great advice😮

[@julius1812]

The Amazon tiny mic sounds good to me!

[@ParulJindal22]

You have explained very nicely . It helped me a lot thanks for sharing such a useful content. I am from Bharat 🇮🇳.

[@Gil_Gilbert]

Great video. Although, as a professional videographer for many years & a prolific iPhone user, I don’t recommend vertical video for any professional shoot. It’s ok for social media, I guess, but I’ve never met a real pro that shoots vertical. We only shoot 16x9 or anamorphic. Still, you did a great vid for social media users. 👍

[@stalman]

This year our biggest clients started to be native social content rather than traditional horizontal commercials. Obviously both 16x9 isn’t going away but vertical work is massive.

[@imagesbirds5066]

Great tutorial. I watched it even though I use an Android phone :D

[@ki5168]

Consider the Sennheiser memory mic 🎙

[@johnnyguitar-uu3zr]

which phone do you think has the best Sound Quality on recording a video? i need a good sound recording phone let me know thanks I would like to avoid an Iphone...

[@martinyodaiken1890]

Hi Tyler if I am shooting video and want a slow mo section is there a way to switch automatically to slow mo and back in the iPhone app?

[@TrevonStanley]

Hey I was trying to use the LUT function but the app doesn't give me the option to turn LUT ON/OFF is this a pro feauture?

[@stalman]

The app is totally free so there are no pro features that I know of, although LOG won't be there on any phones other than the 15 Pro

[@trevonstanley6131]

@@stalman I’m on a 15 pro, maybe I didn’t setup with setting correctly for the LUT function to work. FYI my first time trying to use different setting for filming content.

[@DoctorMiki]

One note. The direct camera comparison isn’t entirely fair. You put a shot from iPhone’s front sensor compared to lumixs main sensor (graded Apple log vs graded lumix log). Especially the depth of field would be much better if you’d used main back sensor.

[@avokevo5394]

I think you missed the point - it was clearly explained the point of that comparison shot was to show the importance of how shooting in log on the phone CAN get you a serviceable/good enough shot compared to the final image from a ‘big camera’ in a pinch.

[@DoctorMiki]

​@@avokevo5394 I don't think I did, but fair enough. Just try shooting in different sensors and do color grading. In my eyes both our arguments are valid.

[@MyLotus-o4z]

I have iPhone 14promax and after uploading the screen is in small and the video are blurry I lose hope now making more videos

[@Jason_wojnar_ukraine]

How do you actually get the footage out of Black Magic with the Lot color grading to then start editing the actual clips outside of Black Magic? When I export to a file it seems to be ungraded.

[@peterwilliams2889]

Nice Phone Clamp. 🤓

[@MaximoJoshua]

I really need a VND, shutter angle is locked, ISO only goes so low, and fixed aperture, really need a way to manage exposure.

[@stalman]

There are lots of options out there. i just find that once I’ve rigged the phone up to the size of a mirrorless, I’d rather just use the mirrorless

[@MaximoJoshua]

@@stalman adding a VND and a case is not gonna put you anywhere near the size of a mirrorless.

[@MaximoJoshua]

@@stalman you can see the Khronos system as an example, it is roughly the same dimensions as the phone started, with a small square filter over the camera bump (you of course can add a lot more stuff, but you don't have to)

[@2ndBirth]

This was really helpful buddy. I didn't realise Black Magic made a phone app. I use Davinci Resolve usually for my long form videos. So it would be cool to use their phone app too. My very old LG5 phone finally broke, at the worst timing, as is so often the case. My used iphone 12 pro max arrives today. So hopefully it will work good for shooting youtube shorts etc. God bless :o) Onwards !!

[@NanaNan1]

Thanks so much I know where to start and lucky me my granddaughter (10) has Cap Cut mastered 😅

[@jerricosibonga4884]

How to activate Pro res in settings for video?

[@jaymills1720]

Thanks will try this! Will the stalman luts remove the green from Sony and make it pretty like canon lol? Also miss your c70 or r5c loved that image

[@aarongrooves]

Hi, I have a question. I recently purchased an iPhone 15 pro max -- considering switching from android. However, there are a few things that are really bothering me. 1) On the iphone, is possible to pause and resume video recording, all in the same take/file? 2) Is it possible to flip between the front and rear cameras while video recording? I can't seem to figure this out. I use these features on my galaxy all the time, and it's odd to me that these features don't exist on the iPhone. Do you have any experience with features? Or does that Blackmagic app unlock them? Thanks in advance for any help!

[@stalman]

These features aren’t in the native camera app, the iPhone works more like a pro mirrorless camera where each file is separate. I agree that it’s a great feature, try Spark Camera.

[@aarongrooves]

@@stalman Tysm for the response! I just checked it out online, and it does seem to have some nice features. It doesn't seem to support these particular features, but I can't tell from the info on their sites. I'll have to do more investigating. Thanks again for the lead! 🙏🏾

[@AonghasAnderson]

You are on 12TB iCloud storage?

[@rawjules]

How do we use ND filters with the stalman clamp

[@MikeMcGouran]

how to I use my camera to video record but do not want sound

[@DareCutzStudios]

Great tutorial! How do i add the LUTs in the black magic app?

[@busrakhanam2833]

@Tyler Stalman, your video really helped me to do my iPhone camera settings

[@KathehFIT]

Is hdr video the same as smart hdr?

[@stalman]

Nope, I know it's confusing but there are two different things called HDR.

[@TheThrillerZone]

Hi Tyler, your info is amazing. Clear, concise, to the point. Easy to understand and quick. Consider me subscribed and a New Fan, thank you!

[@TheThrillerZone]

Oh, also, may I suggest the wireless mic(s) by Hollyland. They're amazing quality. Affordable. And includes plenty of features. Cheers

[@sebasparini]

is it possible with iphone 15 plus?

[@dirkluchtman]

Hi, can I import and edit the apple log video (prores 422 LT or HEVC) on a PC? I am willing to buy an iphone (am used to android) but not willing to change my pc as well. Thanks

[@stalman]

Yes they are universal standard file formats

[@JonathanCabot]

how did you come up with the name for the stalman clamp

[@stalman]

It just came to me in a moment of inspiration

[@jlippencott1]

I don’t understand the popularity of the portrait “vertical” mode. It wastes over two thirds of the screen on televisions and computer screens. Human vision is basically wider than it’s tall. It just seems ridiculous to me when we have to look at the world this way. It doesn’t seem natural.

[@quentinwhite1]

Great thumbnail.

[@ShaunScamroseSinclair]

[@PriscillaLee-sj8hg]

I can't follow want your talking about

[@kounoupidi]

Why recommend 30fps when you have no control over the frame exposure time? If you could fix the iPhone camera to 1/60 sec (and compensate with variable aperture or an ND filter) then 30 fps make sense. But you can't. And on a sunny day you can easily get videos with 1/500 or faster frames. This looks just choppy with zero motion blur. At 60 fps this effect is kind of mitigated because you get closer to the magic rule that exposure should be 1/2x the fps. If we could shoot at 120 fps then it would almost go away since 1/240 should be fast enough for normal lighting. For a cinematic effect you could then produce 24fps video by blending 5 consecutive frames into one. Excuse my ignorance, but I just can't agree with the low fps narrative with non professional cameras.

[@Nateography]

The term “professional” camera always makes me laugh. With how good cameras are on phones, they are right up there competing with $3,000+ cameras. I have a photography business just using my iPhone and lens attachments, no different than a camera with different lens options but much more affordable for the creative person to get into photography and videography but without the higher expense. The camera doesn’t make the professional.

[@LouisLuzuka]

My guess is the bit rate is highest in 4k30 without having to waste space 4k60, not everything needs to be slowed down 😅

[@messicomps344]

​@@Nateographyi believe you're wrong, because a 1000$ phone with a camera sensor no bigger than my pinky nail cannot compete with the sensor of a 3000$ device. Nevertheless, your existence is your own so, as long as you're happy

[@kounoupidi]

@@Nateography I get your argument, with professional I mean the ability to control all aspects of exposure. ISO, exposure time, aperture, ND.

[@kounoupidi]

@@messicomps344 Depends on the conditions, but yes.
