Apple Made an Incredible Pro Camera App and It's Free

[@pressrepeat2000]

What I love about this most of all is that it record the video to Files rather than the Photos app. It’s so great to have videos separate from photos, and being able to sort by size or other things. I’m glad they finally did this! Now we need an Apple Pro Photo app like this for photos as well!

[@Suhayl_Khatib]

They need one for photos!

[@DoctorErtan]

YES! Wanting this since forever.

[@olmecST]

Yes! Long overdue.

[@carstenb23]

There’s a really great app called Halide, but it costs money

[@olmecST]

@@Liwaaaah really?

[@Suhayl_Khatib]

@@Liwaaaah I feel so dumb. How? 😅

[@arjulmabz295]

Bring that in-app settings to every app, Apple!

[@zollotech]

that would be great

[@ViktorAndy]

Im sure Apple is reading these comments.

[@ArthropodSpidey]

​@@ViktorAndy wouldn't be surprised if they are. Aaron is awesome.

[@heyspookyboogie644]

I agree. I understood their perspective on a single settings app back when there was no App Store, and even early on when most app settings were basic things. But that quickly changed and having some in app settings and some in the settings app hasn’t made sense in a very long time.

[@gunggus105]

maybe apple will added default pro setting to default camera app when they release the new IOS 100 lol

[@KevinJamesFrench]

I’m using it with 4 IPads and iOS 17+18. It’s so helpful because I’m severely disabled and it was hard to record on an iPad 4 feet away, now I can control the cameras from Final Cut Pro

[@Elfig2011]

not available in Europe it seems….

[@bobsykes]

Thanks, this is the clearest how-to I've seen. It looks amazing. It's great that it works with almost any old iPhone. Old re-furb iPhones just went up in value!

[@HesperianHorsePower]

Thanks Aaron! I likely wouldn’t have ever known this app existed if you hadn’t made this video! Best Apple channel there is!

[@MarksTech]

This is awesome! is it possible to edit the project on a mac, or is it only doable on the iPad?

[@zollotech]

Yes, you can export the full project from the iPad version of Final Cut Pro. I judt exported it, AirDropped it and then opened it in Final Cut Pro on Mac. EVerything all sync'd with the edits I made in the video and everything.

[@MarksTech]

@@zollotech That is incredible! Thanks Aaron

[@HalfManHalfTech]

Great studio and explanation.

[@prxsii]

Yeah, this NEEDS to be done for photos as well - this is SICK! Apple, if you are listening... "Final Cut Photos". Just sayin'....

[@FriedChairs]

How about Aperture. I just made up that name. 😉

[@seamusstout5991]

I mean…Final Cut is a video editing software. So I don’t know if that makes sense.

[@cameraman655]

ProRaw is what we need on all iPhones, especially us with the non-Pro phones.

[@grumpyoldwizard]

This is pretty cool. The regular app had started to give me problems (unable to focus, for instance).

[@Siverly]

Why not connect to Final Cut on the Mac? I don’t want to subscribe on the iPad.

[@CrowdContr0l]

Then, don’t.

[@evanshaw17]

As a professional videographer, this is incredible actually if you add on a telephoto lens to the iPhone and iPad, I don’t really see the need for all my expensive cameras anymore. And the amount of control you have to change focus then and later to make all these changes from your iPad, watching your other iPhones and connection with it. It’s absolutely a game changer. There’s really no need for expensive video equipment for Weddings anymore. This can do everything. It’s absolutely totally incredible.

[@Integr8d]

Haha. You’re funny.

[@PeterKoperdan]

No need for specialized photo/video equipment if you and your client are OK with limited visual quality. Shooting on a phone is ergonomically challenging and it will negatively influence the process. Sounds like you are not a demanding professional which is not a good sign…

[@W4d3101]

My primary concern would be the stability of the App. I will play with it, but never ever for a live event.

[@calebjoe9148]

The zooming in and out feature is SUPERB!

[@KD-lb9bg]

Apple 🍎 needs to do this for the camera 📸 app for photo taking.

[@gregparks1785]

It’s amazing the things a “normal person” can do with these apps how to make high quality videos. Great video demonstrating some things people can do!

[@kamalaksh.shenoy]

Very good App. But your explanation and demonstration is excellent. As usual your videos are very good and very informative. Great work!!

[@HesperianHorsePower]

Is this an iMovie replacement or do you think both have their place?

[@stylemazta]

settings, I miss here, that I use often in pro camera apps: - being able to select, which mic of your device you want to use for the shot (front, or back, etc) - being able to record in cinematic aspect ratios, mostly exceeding 16:9

[@Woyec_woyec]

I love it, and on a IPhone 13 I can do 10x zoom without sacrificing camera quality!

[@Mattened]

I have this app and an iphone 13 and it starts losing quality, digitally zooming, past about 3x zoom. Am I missing something

[@Woyec_woyec]

@@Mattened yes but if you get the lighting right it doesn’t seem to lose quality

[@trey_a_12]

@@Woyec_woyecIt isn’t magic, it’s just a bit of extra processing if anything but it is still ultimately digital zoom.

[@DivineVegan]

😂😂

[@macinman]

Installed on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, will try some test footage later on. Looks like a great app, but because I don't own a current mac, or iPad, this will probably be limited to the iPhone for me. (in terms of cross device compatibility )

[@Jakereviewsall]

Love this, I was looking for uses for my old ipad pro 12.9 since I just upgraded to the 13 and this is going to be one use I will try out.

[@TimWesley]

Can i use this final cut camera without final cut pro?? Do i actually need Final Cut Pro to edit the video or i can use Final Cut Camera?? Can i still use final cut camera to record?? Can i use my iPad Pro 2018

[@zollotech]

yes you can. you can just use it for video recording

[@RanPhil24]

Yes you can. Final Cut camera apps is standalone and saves videos to folder in files

[@RanPhil24]

@@zollotechdamn you were faster 😅

[@gezeo750]

This is awesome! Downloaded this before the end of the video! 😂 I’ll need to finish it cause I found out the hard way that this app was for video only!

[@lesbart]

Just to be clear, the Pro Camera doesn't work as a multi camera in FCP for Mac, right?

[@ViktorAndy]

I hope we get something similar for photography. I would actually use my phone camera for the first time since the purchase.

[@Braden12]

This is great! Glad they finally brought this. A photos app similar to this would be nice as well. Also curious as to why they couldn’t build some of or all of this into the default camera app…

[@xm2895]

Maybe for simplicity

[@__JiG__SaW__]

It would be far too complicated for regular users - the iPhone camera is made so great by the automatic image processing that's going on behind the scenes, whereas this app is for those who want full control over the camera hardware. Just like with a DSLR camera, you can already take amazing pictures on Auto mode, but if you know what you're doing and willing to do the post-processing work yourself, its potential is multiplied several times over. That's what this app is for.

[@JeffSeaIndustries]

Just to clarify, I can use the camera from the iPad that's running Final cut and my iPhone to record two different views of the same thing?

[@honey4xi]

Today it happened that Final Cut Camera on my iPhone 15 Pro Max recorded ProRes 422 HDR 4K 60p to the internal 1TB SSD of my iPhone 15 Pro Max like the Blackmagic camera app can record ProRes 422 HDR 4K 60p to the internal SSD. This clip on my MacBook Pro M1 QuickTime shows info "ProRes 422 HQ HDR HLG 4K 60p 12 bit"

[@Jack-2day]

Can you edit there? Cheers

[@honey4xi]

@@Jack-2day Final Cut Camera on iiPhone 15 Pro Max has no editing features. I saved to Photos app, acessed and opened it in Apple native camera app for editing; or iMovie imported ProRes 422 HDR 4K 60p clip on my MacBook Pro M1 for editing fine.

[@jvinot60]

Downloaded and played with it a bit. Will check it out more after working my long hour block. The joys of the medical industry.

[@jusslamster]

Thx Aaron that’s the best explanation I’ve heard for Final Cut Pro!

[@zollotech]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@MrNobleTV]

This is Definitely Amazing 🤩👍🔥.. Great Video

[@RawkustvOfficial]

This is outrageously cool! Can you preview and record multi cam with Final Cut Pro on the Mac too?

[@nwroach]

Are you able to pause and resume a recording ? And thanks for a great review..

[@spideyalfred]

Is this working with only the ipad or does it work with a macbook as well?

[@ePreneurs]

so we cannot connect our pro cams using the new feature in final cut and utilize the fast multi cam feature?

[@zollotech]

No you can’t

[@angelcruz7919]

I downloaded it but, for some reason I only have a black/dark screen, I'm using an iPhone 14 Pro Max, but I'm on iOS 18 B1, do you think that's the problem for the dark screen?

[@jezrix]

Such a great video. You’ve reinvigorated my love for photography🤙🏾

[@joealtamuro]

Aaron, This is awesome ! Thank you. I have a question. We like to record ants which as you probably know ,require a high zoom. We have a 15 Pro but sometimes the subject will go out of focus. Do you know of an app for Photos that works excellent for zooming in to small objects. And also do you recommend an add on lens device to augment the zoom feature clearly for very tiny objects that can be used in photos and videos? Thanks again!! I love your channel and you teach us so much.

[@Randuski]

It’s great to have, and I generally like how it works, but it’s annoying you can’t preview a lut in the app

[@2000amitay]

Do I need an iPad to use multi cam?

[@LikeAPro.1995]

I bought an S24 Ultra and have my iPhone 14 Pro Max as secondary, that I barely touched now. However, this is a game changer! This is exactly what I need and might turn me back to iPhone again. Wow, well done Apple!

[@djvalentinoz]

Great Video, Thanks. Can we connect the MultiCam to Final Cut Pro on MacBook Pro? or it's for iPad only! Thanks again

[@zollotech]

Unfortunately not

[@djvalentinoz]

@@zollotech Thanks for your reply, have a great day, good luck 🍀

[@yousawnothing644]

Can this app disable tone mapping? Or is that done by selecting Rec. 709?

[@TheDeV-e5o]

They need one for photos too

[@tdolan500]

Wait, can I record on my IPhone 15 Pro in ProRes but have it saving the footage to an iPad with a hard drive?

[@goldenburrr]

It's a way to test the field to see how many people would utilize it, I'm sure, and see how to tweak it with feedback before polishing it and implementing it into phones, instead of having complaints of it not working properly after being forcibly pushed into a new update.

[@richmahogany1]

can you pause the recording or flip between the front and rear camera with this?

[@Khamae77]

This feature is reserved for iOS 21 and will cost extra if you don't have the pro models.

[@Tia_toca]

I love this for when I want to record!

[@rhoanjcepe2029]

i hope they can have the finalcut enabled for the ipad pro 2018 ...my pro 2018 is still a beast since i bought it last 2020

[@Cameraflyer-]

What about saving to an external drive like you can with the native camera app?

[@PeterKaitlyn]

Can this be transferred to FCP on a desktop?

[@thevacdude]

Thanks for the video, Aaron.

[@helloworld12]

Thanks for the video! Maybe you should use this app to record your videos too since you’re like the ambassador for Apple! 🎉

[@jrtous]

Does it have a clean hdmi output if you use the video dongle? Trying to get something to replace FilmicPro for livestreams.

[@legind]

Try Blackmagic camera for iPhone

[@BostonTerrierDad623]

AZ~ maybe it’s me but I’m completely enamored w/this one! I’ve used it some (i.e. tinkered😂) and it is phenomenal. Thx so much for this fantastic rundown! This is fave video of yours by a LONG SHOT - that isn’t an indictment of your other work, quite opposite, as it’s ALWAYS stellar! At the risk of sounding like the class suck up (Eddie Haskell anyone?!) this is a masterpiece! Well, i may as well head over later & help you & the Missus carry your groceries in…& whatnot… 😂 that’ll round out my “Eddie Haskell” transformation complete!!!😊 TYVM!

[@sooo0kie]

The focus peaking feature can be quite handy. But the app is still limitted by the hardware (sensor size, leses.)

[@shadoet412]

What can this app do on entry level iPhones, SE2 and SE3?

[@popcorn3132]

Funny they need a separate apps for this. Anyway, does it support photos?

[@JA-ds2cc]

Yes use multi shots for your videos. I appreciate this topic of free powerful but intuitive app that expands use of my camera. Thank you.

[@felipeleite1102]

Multi-angle could be a great feature of your videos, Aaron! Good stuff, as always.

[@jasonmunger8409]

Can you also connect to an apple computer and have the screen recording be one of the videos? That would be great for tutorial videos where you want to record the screen and a video shot of your face and then easily pull it into Final Cut for multi cam editing.

[@zollotech]

No unfortunately

[@immersive360vr]

Can this broadcast live?

[@trickyrabbit7928]

Still no pause button for video recording. Don’t understand why.

[@wiffanyt]

This is available now with iOS 18

[@VishrutJha7]

@9:32 I always thought you were reading off of a script in your videos, as you rarely use fillers like "umm, uh" and you're so eloquent and you do make sure to cover everything that the video is about, and so I'm surprised to see there isn't anything to prompt you on the screen in front of you! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@BubbaSnipe03]

Do you know if apple is going to fix it where everything is much smaller then usual? Idk if people even care but I’m visually impaired and I don’t like my phone to look special and some text sizes bother me if it’s to big and I like to keep my home/Lock Screen at 130 and everything else at 160 and 160 is still small on iOS 18 and 190 is way way to big and nothing keeps it same size layout

[@AlexNik]

hello. Do you know if the final cut camera can use any camera other than built-in camera? For example, I have an ipad and iphone (just one of each) and I want to record from two angles. I wonder if I can connet an external camera to ipad via usb-c and choose this camera in final cut camera? So far, I found only the audio source from that external camera.

[@zollotech]

Yes, you can use the ipad with it as well.

[@AlexNik]

@@zollotech unfortunately I didn’t find how to choose an external camera in final cut camera on iPad - only different audio source =(

[@dbrophy]

Am I right in saying this can’t record Apple Log in HEVC (H.265) mode?

[@victorteo222]

I like the settings the app provides, but why do they limit the flip camera functionality from toggling between selfie and front camera???????? I only can record in ONE “direction”

[@thecarlostorres]

[@kissshotorion7541]

I can't tell if this is the better app for video, i mean Blackmagic app is WAY BETTER will full control on the settings ( iso, shutter speed...) i think options like these should be added to the default camera app, especially for photos , it's weird not having pro camera mode that allows you to control your settings on a $1200 phone unless you buy other apps or your get them for free but they charge you for a monthly/yearly or a one time buy subscription.

[@EElegOfficial]

I prefer blackmagic cam, way better. Also free.
