I've fallen asleep to this video 3 times now. It's not boring at all, your voice is just perfect, an I'm a nerd.

[@UnlockRiverHQ]

Great Info!

[@widarholmedal2048]

Thank you for a great video! Question: It is possible to choose 3 different gimbals in the app. What if I want to use Feiutech G6 Max. Will I then miss some functionality in the app or in the gimbal?

[@SiHorrocks]

Filmic Pro only has extra functions with DJI Osmo Mobile series and Zhiyun Smooth 4 (but it's not the same as using the gimbal's app). Aside from that, you may be able to control record on and off / shutter with the shutter button. You can still use any gimbal with other camera apps, but you won't get most of the Gimbal's app functionality

[@TonyGalvez]

Congratulations for an epic video. I can't even imagine the amount of effort that went into it! Thank you so much!

[@Lykzabet]

I couldn’t agree more! Brilliantly done Kudos 👍🇦🇺

[@YogaBySophie]

you are so kind. wish you the best

[@frederichore1890]

***** 5 Stars! An excellent tutorial on all the attributes of Filmic Pro. Good unhurried narration at an even pace, without an annoying music track in the background. One small point about the stabilization (36:10) - when shooting outdoors in windy conditions with my iPhone 7 Plus mounted on a tripod, the video images appear mildly shaky as the stabilizer software tries to correct for any tiny movements or vibrations. Switching OFF the stabilzation in this situation I have found produces smoother video.

[@SmartphoneFilmmaker]

This is great! May have to come back to this every so often for a recap! 📱👍🏻

Best tutorial on any industry on KZbin. No detail left untouched, clear but without overdoing it. And loved the tone and style of voice. Thanks! Wish every tutorial of anything would be done like you did!

[@Vgk36]

[@geemaree3456]

This is excellent! I was able to learn the basics in other videos, but still had questions after watching them... whereas your video has gone into detail on the questions I had. Thank you! Appreciate your in-depth video and sharing your knowledge on Filmic pro!

[@ajayrichrn]

Your voice is the best! Ever think about reading audiobooks?

[@RetiredandLivingthedream]

Filmic Pro remote has stopped working, tried everything Google & KZbin suggested still not working contacted Tec services. Anyone had the same problem

[@therealmichaelphelps]

yeah i recently tried using it recently and its completely buggy and unbelievably slow. The company is clearly dumping support for it in favor of V7 filmic pro and their crazy subscription prices. Its a shame they are going down the route of the shady wondershare filmora route.

This is a superb tutorial. Hats off to your excellent teaching always. Will refer to this over and over.

[@khangnp]

One more time, it is an outstanding job. I also love the knowledge you transferred along with the function of the application (e.g the color behavior). It is so useful, especially for freshmen who start filming with a bunch of theories and got confused where they are applicable. Now I can say: "Here is where you find it and how it works" :D. A big thank to your work!

[@rene0511]

Thank you so much for a very detailed explanation of Filmic Pro, very clear👍 I appreciate it so much. For sure I will always watch this to learn more of this Filmic pro.

In all seriousness, not all hero’s wear capes! Your ability to break down video for newbies is unreal! I really appreciate you and I am happy to buy any course you offer,

Yes! The only tutorial that covers EVERY setting, adjustments, and explains every item on the interface. For instance, I couldn't find info anywhere that the letters and numbers on the top left indicate the encoding rate and recording time left.

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

The simple addition of, "why use this setting," is so helpful to understanding each setting and theirs best uses, thanks for your very detailed explanations, that are truly very useful!

[@leslietaylor7375]

This is one of the best tutorials I’ve seen on KZbin. Clear, easy to understand. Filmic Pro should give you huge props.

[@-NOVA-2023]

Hi there, I’ve been a current user of Filmic Pro legacy And have been before the discontinued date I have recently bought a new phone and followed the step-by-step on how to re-download again but I have hit a problem where says dynamic link not found Do you know anything about this? That could help me out, please?

[@andrewchristian3017]

So I’m confused. Can I use the HDR on my iPhone 11. In 8 bit. Like it lets me select HDR even though my iPhone 11 can only do 8 bit. Should I select HDR for better dynamic range even though I can do 10bit?

[@dancelens]

Does it work w/ Zhiyun Smooth Q3? Or do I really need the Smooth 4 to work smoothly w/ Filmic Pro?

[@terrydavis1488]

Hi Simon, me again. I have a larger focus reticule than yours, and its is not moveable. I am using an Apple iphone 12 Pro Max. Am I doing something wrong. Thank you for answering all my previous questions. I am seriously trying to use Filmic Pro now. Many thanks Terry Davis

[@_davidfoster_]

#filmicpro …….. save yourselves some money and hire this guy for your tutorials. Congrats on a VERY good production MobileMotion…..👌

[@ExposedRoot]

Outstanding. Just got a Smooth 5 and downloaded Filmic Pro. In just a few hours I've gone from what the f*** to this is going to make my 5 country Euro vacation in 3 weeks epic!!!

[@trosencrantz]

Does anyone know if there is an App, that can control Global Tone-Mapping, so we don't get pixels to expose and adjust, even when the Exposure is locked on IOS-Apple iPhones? One of my biggest pet peeves with my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Love the Dynamic Range these cameras have but the shift in exposure even while locked with Filmic Pro, still will have color and exposure shifting with-in a bright room as one pans from bright to dark. Something we need control over!

[@vijaykandasamy2016]

Thanks so much for this complete tutorial. I have a quick question please. I updated my Filmic Pro app yesterday (new version 6.16.0). When I select the selfie lens or ultra wide lens, I have no option to manually focus. The focus reticle is locked (red). Focus option is grayed out in the focus ring as well. Is this by design or am I doing something wrong?

[@danielgrenier2417]

Can I just add to the Frame Rate/Auto shutter usage (as found at 23:03 and 24:38 )? So if you have the shutter option set to either 50Hz or 60Hz (bottom option under Frame Rate) as opposed to auto, you cannot manually change the shutter speed to 48 as you would when shooting anamorphic 24fps, for example, while using the Manual Control wheel (like at 6:50 ). If the Shutter option under Frame rate is set to 60Hz, then the shutter speed on the wheel will not go lower than 60 and likewise if set to 50Hz. It needs to be set to "Auto shutter". I found this out the "hard" way :-)

[@brettcreswell3719]

Filmic doesn’t work anymore. Stops recording randomly no matter how much storage or battery I have. Unusable and no new updates ? EDIT: I tested again now after latest IOS update, seems to be working again. Anyone else have this experience ?

[@accentontheoff]

Hi, what format does Filmic Pro output too. I have found it’s .mov (which iMovie doesn’t read). Is there any way to choose the file format, I can’t seem to find any. Would appreciate any help. Thanks!

[@chanakyanani]

26:55 , i'm unable to monitor the audio (headphone monitoring switched on) via bluetooth earbuds when using external microphone (rode videomicro), however when internal mic is used, it is working fine. Is this expected? Update: I found out that external mics which use the type-c or lightening port to 3.5mm jack adapters don't get registered with filmic pro headphone monitoring so it doesn't work. However external mics with inbuilt type-c or lightening ports work well. More info here: www.iphoneographers.tv/post/monitoring-audio-with-filmic-pro

[@paulvanobberghen]

Almost perfect. That’s because perfection is impossible. But this comes very close to it. Thanks. Remark: quite a bit of these settings are irrelevant to « pro » shooters, so why include them in a « pro » app?

[@AllAboutSpainbyBarryHaylor]

What are the best settings for slow motion in filmic pro. With iPhone 11. Excellent tutorial, thanks

[@grahamwhite2590]

Absolutely brilliant, as a former software application engineer, I know how much effort goes into making this type of tutorial. This is crisp and concise well done. Looking forward to trying this out on my new iphone 12 Pro Max and PolarPro LiteChaser Directors kit.

[@azraelgargoyle]

Anyone else having the problem that manual focus is not working on their android device? Moving the wheel does nothing on my OnePlus Nord N10. Its like the autofocus of the device is overriding the manual function of FilmicPro.

[@DesignEcologies]

Thank you, but just found out Filmic Pro is subscription, which at entry level isn’t viable. What’s the competition that’s not subscription based to a filmic pro alternative? Great video and movie btw

[@visionchurch7094]

Thank you Sir. its the best and most complete tutorial on Filmic Pro I've ever seen.

[@jeremyclimbs]

When I save the WP preset, but close the app completely, then open it back up again, the WB presets are gone that I just set using your method. How do I get the presets to stick FOREVER! Everytime I shoot I have to set the white balance again even though I am shooting in a studio. Thank you kindly for your help!

[@FlywheelAcademy]

Wow! But how can I maintain filmic settings in other apps like TikTok? Thanks!

[@QDWorld-SwiftUI]

I have Filmic Pro and I am using the app on my iPhone 12 promax . Should I buy the cinematographer kit and use 10bit with log2 and can I get high quality video, please advice.

[@SiHorrocks]

It's LogV3 for 10 bit. Personally I'm not convinced. I don't think it's better quality, but some people like it for colour work. Certainly 10 bit is better than 8 bit. Plus you can't use Dolby Vision at the same time

[@QDWorld-SwiftUI]

@@SiHorrocks thank you

[@1209jayt]

Thanks for sharing this video. Can I be able to upload the video to Fb or Instagram using filmicpro? Thanks for your help.

What video codec do you suggest I use with an iPhone XS? Should High efficiency be on or off? I’m also using Lumafusion to edit the captured footage if that matters.

[@spirittravels.]

Does it process 1080p better than a smartphone that has bad upscaled 1080 ,like pixel 3A, for example?

[@hbrgg]

Hi, thanks for adding great informative contents. I watched this video abs you mentioned a setting called snap focus. I can’t find that setting anywhere in the app. Any advise?

[@johnnymorbergnielsen]

Fantastic video. Thank you very much, it has been a great help😊 I have a question I Hope you can answer. I made this recording that works great on my Phone (Samsung s10), but when I view the recording on my pc both video and audio has been speeded up. I tried copy pasting to my pc and I also tried streaming directly from my phone via USB cable, but it was the same. The only way I could get it to my pc was by uploading to KZbin from my phone and then downloading on my pc. I even tried on a different pc to see if it ha to do with the pc, but it seems like it does not. If I copy the video file from the pc and back to the phone speed of the clip is back to normal, when viewed on the phone. Could this have something to do with a setting in Filmic pro? Kind regards Johnny

Hi, I am so sorry to trouble you with this silly question… a day ago I received a comment on my KZbin channel that says it’s from you mentioning a shortlist…. This sounds very exciting but I am stressed to hell about my wife suffering with cancer for the second time and do hope this is not a scam… If it is a scam I am sure it’s not from you as I watch all of your very helpful and informative videos…. The request from you is asking me to PM you… I have no idea how to do that… but obviously wish to partake in this remote possibility of light at the end of our tragic tunnel we are going through at the moment… take care and thanks anyway if it’s not you contacting me.
