Its been my new go-to app for iPhone since it came out, and on the iPhone 15 - AMAZING!

[@PrimalVideo]

Nice, glad you're enjoying it Doug 😀 - Hazel, PV Team

[@rudi-gruber]

Great. Which App would you recommend for Android?

[@jessetaldotcom]

Excellent walk-through!

[@PrimalVideo]

Glad you liked it 👍 - Hazel, PV Team

[@RussellWatsonFMHL]

Nice replacement for Filmic Pro. One question: Where/how does HDMI come out to external devices?

[@MisterDavidH]

I am grateful for this video. Why you say? I am 80 years old and trying to keep up with you youngsters.

[@PrimalVideo]

You're an inspiration! Keep up the great work! 👍 - Hazel, PV Team

[@travel_paradise]

Well done, thanks

[@PrimalVideo]

[@dementianinja]

Nice! Thanks, PV Team!

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome 😊 - Hazel, PV Team

[@chelo111]

can you use the app to connet to the blackmagic pocket cinema cameras ???? please tell me yes

[@mostube2000]

Thanks

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome - Hazel, PV Team

[@schneidineeliancy7596]

This vidéos is really informative thank you Can you please tell me if there’s any way to store directly the media to my Icloud while recording. I don’t have enough space

[@pdcorlis]

When shooting portraits, why not hold the camera vertically to use more of the sensor?

[@user-wk6tp1og3l]

Hi you still use davinci? I'm gonna need your help on something

[@gregorykelly2949]

I like the app very much but unfortunately , the Smallrig remote button will not actuate the camera. Maybe Black Magic could fix this

[@CraZzyIcee]

Is there any way to make pictures with this camera aswell or only video?

[@DavidMacVicar]

Great tutorial. Thank you!

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome, glad you liked it 👍 - Hazel, PV Team

[@georges_crafts]

I normally used to camera off the film but this video was helpful

[@PrimalVideo]

So glad it helped - Hazel, PV Team

[@emilleung7962]

Can an Bluetooth earphone be connected to the device for monitoring?

[@MisterDavidH]

I tried this app last night at a ballgame. The field was in bright sunlight. I could not get the camerqa to darken and had set the iso to the lowest setting. I could not find a way to change the aperature. The iris was greyed out and set to 2.8

[@SakhaNature]

is it due with samsung?

[@MisterDavidH]

I have watched this video 3 times. Yes, I am slow. I did not you Aussies spoke so fast. Geat video

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks for watching! 🙂 - Hazel, PV Team

[@tomtube1012]

Can you shoot photos with this app? Or is it only for videos? Just want something to control shutter speed so my pictures of my computer monitor doesn't have lines on it.

[@mosijahi3096]

No not yet

[@edgardoarroyo7418]

Why when doing video with my Iphone 13 Pro max the video look yellow and dark??

[@gangs0846]

Lens correction ?

[@jordanbey870]

Is there one for android??

[@mosijahi3096]

Not yet

[@KevinRiggle]

9:24 Justin what the _heck_ is going on with your mics, I want a video on your stereo shotgun game _please and thank you_

[@PrimalVideo]

Haha I have one connected directly into the camera, and the other is usbc to the computer so I’m recording two separate sources as a backup. I only ever use one in a finished video. We had some issues a while back so thought we’d just add in some redundancy. Justin.

[@KevinRiggle]

@@PrimalVideo oh brilliant, thank you for the context!

[@teamlifejournal]

Need one for Android

[@goaboi]

Still can’t shoot flat for non pro models

[@SalomeSeroney-vx8me]

I just downloaded this and the it’s not full camera

[@sentimentaloldme]

In my opinion all these camera apps do not give the same quality video as the native camera app. Most phones have pro mode for use with the native camera app and include most of the above settings.

[@dan-gabrielcoltescu6986]

You are right. The quality of the images is better with the native app. The Blackmagic App is designed for the users that would like to practice a little bit of cinematography. And also the fact that you can edit the shots in Davinci Resolve and even color grade them it’s the best practice ever.

[@jagdishonglobe]

How to open front camera?

[@justadddirt]

Click on lens and front camera is there

[@grzegorzkrajewski1095]

The big problem of this app - there is no 48mm lens, that is one of native of iPhone 15 pro.

[@Lida22]

You failed to mention it's **FREE** !! It would also be good to mention the cost of the BlackMagic cloud service.

[@rozpadhteraho]

First comment

[@livingsimplytosimplylive6817]

Awe man okay you win

[@PrimalVideo]

Cool - Hazel, PV Team

[@marcodeluca4068]

Wow, None of these black magic tutorials tell you how to save your video

[@davescorneroftheworld1147]

I guess I am confused! You said this was the BEST CAMERA app for 2024. What about shooting STILLS?? If this app does NOT shoot stills how can it be the best CAMERA app for 2024????????????? I guess I am just stupid!!!!!!!!!!

[@mosijahi3096]

You have your perception the meaning of camera. Camera is used for both for video and still.since this video is about video the the term camera applies.

[@davescorneroftheworld1147]

@@mosijahi3096 Soooooooo, it is a VIDEO camera app and NOT a CAMERA app. I am not confused any longer. Thank you for setting me right.

[@derricki1834]

Promo`SM 🎶

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

As an absolute novice I struggled with this video. The app looks ridiculously complicated and this tutorial is only for the menu . It’s inside the menu that needs explaining. I’m sorry but this put me off getting the App . 🙁

[@RussellWatsonFMHL]

For some, the native app is already challenging. Go with that.

[@TimRubel]

No one is seriously using their iPhone for photography where is the Android app?

[@mgscheue]

🤔

[@RussellWatsonFMHL]

@@mgscheue FYI with several mirrorless cameras and a hefty budget I chose the IPhone over all of them for stills & videos. I create 1080P content and the iPhone 13 does a better job than any on video and an excellant job on photos.
