[@harrywitz.mp4]

bro, thank you!!

[@leolee9088]

Bro thank u so much for your production. It took me a week to research apps for my iPhone lens investment and this has been the most honest explanation 😊

[@Roz-Inspire-Video]

Thanks Michael. Re the BMC App; I think the focus and exposure points are still locked together (?). The Pro Camera App is an example of an App that has the 2 “reticules” separated.

[@JINTC]

Nice video! Interested in your guide to learn more about these apps but has the sale ended?

[@initialfocus]

Hey! Sale has ended but the full course is only $15 more than the sale price so I may be a bit biased but I think it’s still got crazy value for the price 😅

[@nikilragav]

What does BeastGrip App do for smart exposure? What makes it get better low light?

[@lowlowseesee]

been learning a lot from you and didnt realize it til just now...SUBBED! lol

[@Mike0193Azul]

Cinema P3 is also really good

[@shadowshapers]

I love this review collection of these apps and I wish that your video’s timeline was time stamped for each app so we could easily switch back and forth from each review.

[@initialfocus]

Thanks for the feedback man! I’ll add chapters to this video 👍🏼

[@shadowshapers]

Thank you @@initialfocus ! You rock.

[@vazap8662]

I'm surprised this review would discuss things like codec and exposure control, and not the no1 weakness in the default photo app: inability to chose which lens you want to use. You'd think this would be the main point discussed about what 3rd arty apps have to offer.

[@innatemusic]

Nice job.

[@iamzebra7025]

Cinema p3 is perfect

[@chrisbenn]

I am confuidentd! Why is Black Magic a “camera app” when the app only supports the recording part and not taking photos?

[@StudyingVStudying]

Do you think that now with the cinematic mode api open, will we be able to shoot log + cinematic (to control the depth of field) inside blackmagic camera app? That would be a dream

[@ETL_Productions]

Is there an app that can shoot120/240fps with full manual control on shutter, focus and iso?

[@UmairAli-pb4xi]

Is there any other free camera app? other than Blackmagic, because it's not supporting the iPhone X, it's saying at least XS...

[@TheDreInDaHouse]

I can’t get away from filmic pro, the zoom slider is what keeps me. I don’t like the scroll to zoom, I enjoy the a camcorder like zoom. Honestly it’s the best way to zoom and can’t see any other way. Wayyy smother

[@StevenDempseyArtist]

Great comparison. Am I missing something? You said you have a link to your presets for the Blackmagic cam app but I don’t see the link.

[@initialfocus]

Thanks! The link is inside the iphone filmmaking guide, available to members 👍🏼

[@StudyingVStudying]

I just wish one of them could have the cinematic mode to control the bokeh using the the iphone 15 pro max😢

[@Whyme103]

I like Blackmagic however it doesn’t have audio monitoring.

[@KMLR2012]

Does the Blackmagic camera app allow you to adjust the input gain for an external microphone?

[@ErvinandMFantasyFootball]

Yes. Only external tho.

[@BCE-111]

Cinema P3 Pro Camera highly recommended by many.

[@initialfocus]

Honestly that was one of the ones I tested and found to be good but nothing really stood out to me feature wise and the UI felt a bit meh but I know that part is subjective. Definitely a solid app still.

[@BCE-111]

@@initialfocus I think this is one of the ones that people went to after Filmic Pro (alias FiLMiC Pro :)) went to a subscription model. I prefer the BlackMagic Camera app, and it's free. I agree the new Filmic Pro app is really good, but no way, for me at least, I'll be using that. I bought all the different variations previously so stuck with the Legacy version now. Maybe I'll give some of the other apps you discussed here a try. Thanks for doing this Michael. And thanks for all your videos really. 👍

[@erbartlett]

any idea if you can monitor the black magic app using an ipad like you can with filmic? i use this feature a lot to film myself

[@ChitChatCanada]

I love black magic cause it is very easy to understand and very handy

[@initialfocus]

Very true! It’s a great interface especially for existing Blackmagic camera owners

[@chrisbenn]

Why? Black Magic is not a camera app? It only records, you can not take photos with Black Magic app?

[@Ujwalicks]

i have black magic app when i apply luts and save video to photo library my video is saved in log format ? how can i download my video including with luts

[@kingbeezy]

If you have any pull with Blackmagic can you suggest they add a toggle for the torch light? 💡

[@initialfocus]

I shall pass it on! Not sure if I have any pull but I can certainly share suggestions haha

[@AnandaGarden]

Thanks, Michael. The BlackMagic App has a comfortable design, but there are bugs. the BMA takes over audio level when I attach the Shure MV88+ mic, ignoring the settings I've stored in the mic using the Shure Motiv app. I'm not sure I like the way the Lock function works in the BMA - it doesn't seem to let us lock certain things separately, like shutter speed. "Never wear new running shoes in a race." And, "Never use a new app when your business depends on it."

[@initialfocus]

Check my update video form a couple days ago. I know some audio stuff was addressed although it makes sense that the BM app would override audio settings from another app like the Shure one. But in terms of locking exposure I show you how to do that in that update video.

[@AnandaGarden]

Thank you. I could not resist giving it another go, simply because the interface is such a treat. Shure's support is awesome, Shure-ly they will have worked with the 15 Pro. I'll report back on what I learn.

[@alexwinn5210]

Maybe I’m missing something here, but I wish there was a way to select bit depth and bit rate in black magic like there is on Filmic Pro.

[@initialfocus]

Those data rates are basically predetermined with ProRes. If you select ProRes on filmic you’ll notice you no longer have the ability to select different bitrates because that’s what changing from LT, 422, HQ etc does.

[@xavierpierre1676]

pro take has display assistants and has 4444

[@KinoNoTabi-gj6tm]

Hey Micheal , Did you get the early access of Motioncam pro for realtime prores recording?

[@initialfocus]

I did not, where can I find a sign up for that?

[@KinoNoTabi-gj6tm]

@@initialfocus KZbin won't allow to comment it here, Its that place where online gamers chat with each other.

[@KinoNoTabi-gj6tm]

[@KinoNoTabi-gj6tm]

Woah its works! @initialfocus Here this is where you can apply for early access. Mirsad and Sebas is the guy.

[@alimzahem_]

What about Halide Mark II? How does it compare?

[@initialfocus]

halide is one of my go to photography pro apps. As far as my knowledge goes though, it does not have any video functionality which is what I focus on in this video 🙌🏼

[@dankof]

@@initialfocus awesome video !!! any photography apps recomendations ?

[@donaldotsig6818]

How do you take a photo with blackmagic mine only does video

[@lowlowseesee]

It doesn’t do stills

[@d33bo67]

Blackmagic app doesn’t have torch which is annoying

[@cjsedit7964]

CinemaP3

[@tiazzicat]

Mavis Pro Camera

[@ADM-TBA]

I was looking at this to shoot in 4:3 @ 4032x3024 making full use of the sensor, but for some reason it won't shoot prores at that resolution. Haven't found another app the does 4:3 without cropping 😢

[@DannerPlace]

You should have included Cinema P3 Pro.

[@charissaandcowellness]

Do you think this one is better? I’m confused between the two and not sure what to get

[@screamypanda409]

Is this app for recording video only or can take pictures as well?

[@OmkaraHellcore]

Hey there, hopefully, you're still responding to reactions on older videos. I'm not sure if you have an answer to this, as you seem to be mainly a filmmaker, but I'm looking for an iPhone 15 Pro Max camera photography app that allows me to save in log (if that's even possible), but also shoot with the ability to change the aperture, like the portrait mode from the vanilla camera app. Is there even such a thing?

[@saranghaeureka]

I think apple should just add manual mode on camera app like what android have

[@initialfocus]

They absolutely should do that too! Lol

[@kazzooo9245]

If they do, they would've lost alot of money from camera app developers since apple take a cut from in-app purchases.

[@iphoneography]

CinemaP3.

[@chrisburks7292]

Cinema P3 is great

[@initialfocus]

Tested that one as well!

[@nikilragav]

Promovie 4k, right? It was in your scrolling of the appstore page. I like how clean the UI is but it hasn't been recently updated for newer color profiles, etc

[@Yusaku_VCP]

Just followed you on IG. 🥰😍
