Forget about filmic pro, blackmagic has a free app that supports apple log and also enables other flavours of prores like LT etc. etc.
Which ironically turns the iphone into a... blackmagic pocket cinema camera lol
Hey Matt! Great review! Have you tested how long it can record at 4K until it overheats or stops recording? Thanks! 🤘🏽
amazing! just bought mine! please do a video talking about the red/apple court problem with raw video :)
finnaly a good video about LOG with good upload quality!
The Cinema P3 app has been offering 3 different Prores Log profiles for a couple of years on the iPhone 13 & 14, and also lets you film in Prores Proxy, LT, regular and HQ. Amazing app.
Pseudo log as Cinema P3 does not have access to the RAW video, just the DolbyVision or Rec709 version Apple will give them. So with a decent LUT Cinema P3 converts one of those back to log. The DolbyVision version does have a lot of information so the right LUT could do a decent job. But contrast and sharpening will still be way too high in the file. I've been experimenting with the alternative apps ProCamera (the German one with three stripes), Blackmagic Camera, FilmicPro and the native camera app on an iPhone 14 Pro. It's awfully hard to get files out of an iPhone which don't look crunchy and overly colourful. These files grade very poorly in DaVinci Resolve. Results are better in FCPX. Log without the extra sharpening and contrast is a big deal.
If anyone does have a workflow/app to get high quality gradeable video out of an iPhone 14 Pro, please let me know.
Always great reviews!
I can't wait till the "how to record" in ProRes video. I might add that I feel that best additions are VND & Mist filters! Lastly, I'd like to see your recommendations for video apps.* Matt - the BlackMagic Cam app is really great - plus it has zebras and it's free.
Matt please do another video on the huge advantage of being able to change depth of focus afterwards!!! Simply game changing!! Inshot the reception and my auto focus was off. It saved me!!!!
Matt..Thank you for all your videos !!
Well dayum..you got me to by an A7s few years ago, and now I’ll be upgrading my iPhone. I appreciate how in depth your videos are.
THanks for the detailed video.
Awesome -- great video. Looking forward to the video on how to film with the 15 Pro. Thank you and God Bless!
Was definitely looking for your opinion on the iPhone 15 Pro Max and it's shooting capabilities and I'm looking forward to your video on shooting in LOG with the phone as well.
I'm going to finally make the switch from Android to iPhone and buy the iPhone 15 Pro Max (Black Titanium) with 1TB of storage and I think this would be an excellent B camera for my main camera which is the SONY A7IV. I'm interested to see how the LOG footage on the iPhone looks in conjunction with the LOG footage on a SONY A7IV. I will eventually buy an M2 iPad Pro 12.9 to pair with my M2 Pro MacBook Pro 14" to help in my video editing/creation workflow
Also, I'm thinking about buying the Google Pixel 7 Pro or Google Pixel 8 Pro as a backup phone AND a C camera as well.
Great video as always Matt! And I may look into buying some of your LUTS 👍🏿
Definitely interested in that raw video court battle!
Yes waiting for the video with complete tuto for log shoot along with focus control, bokeh in video, cinematic
Should've covered the BMD Camera App. That is huge for iPhone filming! My footage looks 10x better than using the native app. Almost seems to have more DR honestly
How to get BMD Camera app? It’s not available in my app store.
I thought it was designed for remote operation of a few Black Magic cameras … not something for improvement of iPhone photos at all … or am I mistaken?
@@danielcottmain4035 Blackmagic camera app is a free app allowing you to film in 4K Prores using all your lenses. Additionally, on the iphone 15 pro you can record up to 60p in Apple Log internally and externally.
@@danielcottmain4035 it is for iPhone video but can also be used with the cameras when doing camera to cloud stuff. It is GREAT for video, especially if you’re doing post production. No more gamma shift and having to change the colorspace, etc.
@@enjamulgalib9465 scroll toward the bottom. I posted the link here but looks like YT deleted it
Great video, but I really wish you would have shown a color managed version of the footage...I am sure your LUT is really cool, but one of the coolest things about this, is they didn't just add log, they added Log that is supported in editors, namely Davinci resolve. So you can get a 100% accurate translation of their log profile out to rec 709 or rec 2020, whatever your deliverable is.
You can also match the footage to other cameras, by taking it from their log profile into an intermediate format like ACEScct or Davinci Wide Gamut.
I prefer when log footage is first corrected using color science, and then graded adding the creative look on top of that process, to keep the accuracy high.
I just think that this highlights the difference between like Filmic Pro's fake log, and actually native log that actually adheres to some standard like ACES, etc
Oh, also, the LUT might be super useful if you use BlackMagic Camera iOS app (which gives you false color, zebras, HDMI clean feed, and basically every other feature a BlackMagic camera would give you in their UI), which allows you to add a preview LUT, and also you can use ProRes 422 LT to save a little space. BlackMagic Camera is free...you can also just put BMC on the action button...
Good complementary comment! :)
I also wanted to write about the Blackmagic Camera Free App and the action button for quick access of that app
looking forward to that video!
crystal clear explanation: big thanks . You are a very good sales guy
would definitely buy luts . I need them ..waiting 15 pro shooting today.
Thanks for the video and I have an iPhone 15 pro Max on order. When you record 4k 60fps ProRes on a external drive using the iPhone, what video editor would you say works best & smoothest. I use Premiere pro on my Windows system and I'm considering getting final cut pro for my m1 MacBook pro. What say you?
thats the fuc*****king video i was wating for, i was in high doubt that matt johnson will make a video about 15 Pro max video capabilty, im glad my boy is here, much love from pakistan,,, its 2am in night but still so exicted to watch your video with coffe
Hi Matt. Thanks for all the good content you put out there for us. It really helps alot.
Quick question, I would like to get back into weddings and currently only have a Sony a7iii as i wS in a partnershipand now going solo.
I will get a ninja 5 for this so it can be my Bcam for ceremony and speeches, but I need a main cam and I'm stuck between choosing the A74, A7s3, FX3 and the A7rv.
What would you choose as the main cam, please
Recording to external is not new. You could do it with 3rd part apps. I can do it with my iPhone 11 and black manic app. However there is a big problem … the lightening port is not fast enough for 4k60p. Other smaller files can work tho. So the new 15 pro series (must be pro) has usb-3 speeds that can keep up w it. H264 4k60p is about 100 mbps or about 13 MB per second. The SD card reader I have for iPhone 11 can only write about 8 MB / sec at best. What I do is I can just record to internal storage up to 4k60 and wireless copy to my PC to edit using AirDiskPro which will copy at about 35 mb per second over WiFi, faster than using an SD card adapter.
Wow very informative thanks matty 😊👍
I'm thinking of getting one of these for high quality vertical video.
i'm equally excited, the iphone 15 pro is the best upgrade for video shooting, with the combination of the sony a7siii and the sony fx6 i see it as another super backup camera!
Thanks for the video, new sub. As a newbee in video recording I use the iP 13 PM, would you recommend upgrading to the 15 PM? I'm not at your level yet, and primarily record walking around cities site seeing so nothing fancy. I use the regular camera, no prores and use either 20 or 60 fps.
Hi Matt. I loaded some videos onto an iPhone 15 Pro Max from a micro SD card to try to edit some footage from a go pro hero 9 black. Video was shot at 30 fps in 1080p but vn or cap it won't recognize any video on board. Do you have a fix?
Fantastic video. I've been debating if I should upgrade my 13 Pro Max to the 15 Pro Max? I wonder if someone makes a dongle where I could plug in the SSD and a power supply so I can use an external battery
you wont be needing to charge and film at the same time...
Does the iPhone 15 Pro ever get hot when recording 4K @ 60fps or charging the battery.
Can the new iPhone 15 pro max be used for wedding videography?
Awesome content dude
Thank you Matt. You should also mention depth limitation. The 120mm lens is around f/22 when converted correct to full frame. And the 24mm is about f/6.3. and you don't have option to control focus. I've had mine for 4 days now 👍🏻😊 regards Lars, Denmark
Maybe f stop not focus. Isnt it click to focus thing on phones
Yes, tell us about the patent battle between Apple and Red! 😀 Great video BTW!!
Hot tip: the new and free Blackmagic Camera app allows you record ProRes log 4K 60 fps if you choose to (and have plenty of space!). Can also change codec to other smaller ProRes options and even h.265 and h.264. All in 4K 60fps log.
Has an easy and non-cluttered interface (with zebras although I haven’t figured out which % is useful to have on display).
There are some bugs around LUT displays and some serti fa make the preview completely blow out and look overexposed, however on hitting record it seems to fix? Hopefully they’ll fix it soon with updates as it’s all pretty new, but would love to get your thoughts on it or see it in the next video on how to set up for log recording etc.
I was thinking the same thing as well when he mentioned not having Zebras. BMC APP is FREE!
@@m.s.5779 and you can likely assign the action button on the phone to a shortcut that instantly opens the BM camera app. All pain points solved.
I always struggled with Filmic Pro interface so am glad to finally have one that is great and has no sub
Can you record 4k60 LOG in h264? The filesizes are way smaller?
@@sammyuggyep 4k60 log h264 is no problem and can choose to record it internally as well.
With 87GB currently free on my 256GB phone, it gives me over 4 hours of internal recording time vs 19 minutes in ProRes
@@johnbanton8223 that sounds great! The difference in quality is not so noticeable?
I have a question: If you used a thunderbolt cable on the iPhone 15, Would you get increased speed compared to the Usb C cable?
My iPhone 7 is slowly dying. Just a few days ago, the microphone and audio stopped working, which means I can't make or receive any phone calls anymore. I was hoping to wait for the release of the iPhone 16, but I'm going to get the iPhone 15 Pro instead. Thank you so much for this video! Subbed!
With the BM app you can record internal 4K 60fps in ProRes or H265
The reason they want you to use external is 30 min of ProRes 422 is 256gb of storage. It would fill your phone in that time. Then you’d have to transfer it off each time. That’s crazy. This way you can get 2 TB SSD for cheap and record 4 hours per SSD at that size and swap them out as you go. Also, you might be right about the heat but I would think the heat comes from the processor not the memory.
could be both, as nvme drives for pcs are starting to become faster and heat up alot more example being sabrents rocket nvmes and if u check they have massive heat sinks to have them cool off so apple seeing not only heat being generated from the processor but also the memory aint good so prob y they elminated 4k 60 on internal
I love your video colour tone
Best argument I ever heard on why you should use log
Gr8. What ssd size you bought in iphone 15 pro. 256, 512 or 1tb?
any LUTS for HDR delivery Matt?
What it’s the Apple input color space and input color gamut? I mean the camera color science.
I’m used to grade an Slog and Flog footages. I believe it will look extremely good when grade in Davinci Intermediate + custom LUT/Look.
This is all well and good and really fantastic review covering this, but and this is a big but: the lenses are full frame equivalents of 13mm f/10, 24mm f/6.3 and 77mm f/24 (120mm f/21 on the max)!
I mean.... when was the last time you needed to film something and you reached for an f/24 lens? or really that strange 120mm focal length? or the strange 13mm focal length, especially at f/10? - Plus 24mm is a bit tricker and more distorting than the 26mm they used to have in older models.
I would go as far as to say video from the 13 and 77/120 is unusable in almost all cases, so you are just stuck with 24mm, but at f/6.3? - I don't know how often I could use that in practice...
Hey - great overview - I do guess that filmic pro might be dead - Blackmagic Camera is around the corner. Would love to see if and how good it works with the pro max
thank you for the info one day till mine is here
Looking forward to grab it maybe as b cam?? Phone cameras are becoming awesome for their sensor size
But are the file sizes better compared to Sony's Slog3 10bit 4:2:2 XAVC H or HS with a normal SD Card (not a CFExpess Type A card) ?? Like I really wanna know, Apple says 1 min of ProRes Log is around 6 GB so I am curious since I don't have a mirrorless yet. How would this 1 min footage compare to 1 min of Slog3 or S-cinetone?
How about from storage size perspective, does shoot with a camera with HEVC Log going to have smaller file size yet better image quality than iPhone 15 large ProRes Log image quality?
As a complete amateur and dad filming my kids sports, I have absolutely loved the 15 Pro Max and its ability to capture pretty good video even with the challenges of a large soccer field. 4k 30 is usually enough for me.
Are we able to control white balance, iso… when shooting in log
good video, tons of good learns here. You have a new subscriber in me :)
I really like your production/presentation style.
Wow thanks❤
One last step is to adjust shutter speed with a ND filter. Because the aperture is fixed, shutter goes too high to adjust exposure and that increases also the sharpness of the footage.
I hope some day the iphone will have a built in electronic ND filter to keep shutter under control in bright light at 180deg !
@@SteveHartmanVideosI doubt that would be possible without making the phone super bulky.
Please give us a download link to some log sample footage. That way we can edit it ourselfs and see how good it really is.
Also- 422 color space should help a lot with green screen work. Not just grading. The color channel is twice the data and resolution from 420.
ProRES graded on the iPhone 15 pro footage you showed shows skin tones looking a little to red. is that normal?
hi, have you done any live recordings with music ?
@whoismatt Is Iphone 15 Pro Max good enough to replace the Sony a7 IV for travel vlogging and night photos?
USB 3 copy is neat but why did they limit it to that? Could have went USB4 right off the bat for high speed copies.
It's getting cooler and cooler with this iPhone, well, it's probably for advanced photographers and cameramen , it's like a universal camera
Great clip! Have you done the video about Apple versus Red?
Not yet I need to
Can you combine film mode 4k with prores log?
How do you view the 4k footage in windows? I cannot find any way to convert the 4k video files to a compatible format to view it on my windows pc
All of the biggest upgrades are on the video side for iPhone 15. I think they have pretty much taken it as far as it can go on the photo side which is unfortunate. I am starting to shoot more video though, so this is cool.
How would I add a shotgun mic plus an external SSD if there is only one USB Jack?
Hey, tell us about Apple vs RED battle you talked about!!!
Any overheating issues with the Iphone 15 ? not sure if this is fake news or not, but it is a problem with at least two of my devices in temperate zones.Its a show stopper
Can record EVERY video to external storage or only High Res ? Great video by the way thanks !
Only high res mate😢
Yeah usb c 3.0 (not 3.1 or 3.2) + 20w charging...
On top of that the prores log isnt there yet.
What people forget is the iPhone's sensor size. Wont be surprise if they add a micro sd slot then call it the latest and greatest again...
If you really want film features I'd recommend the xperia 1V. 1 inch sensor + s cinetone 😀
With the new shortcut button you can launch any other camera app seamlessly
I would like that video on the whole RAW patent thing
Yes
How long can you record before device overheats? Cheers.
is it possible to display log footage with a LUT applied during filming?
in BlackMagic Camera you can add the preview LUT
Yes, I want a video on RED and Apple raw court case please 🙂
Can you make a video of how to use sony slog3 hdr? / hdr workflow
Would you intentionally shoot over-exposed by around 2 stops with this, just as you do with slog etc?
the footage LOG still look sharpen, also why you use auto-focus if you're sitting on chair in the same position?
Have you tried the new Blackmagic camera app?!
Just out of interest, that USB-C cable pictured really makes a difference?
Hope they add LOG h265 (smaller file sizes)
Hey Matt
is there a difference between the sound quality on video recording between iphone 15 and iphone 15 pro?
i was thinking that there might be a difference between their microphone
I haven’t heard of there being a difference
Can you make a iphone 15 reg vs pro video comparison please?
Share pls some LOG video samples with original files.
Yes, video of the lawsuit please!!
i subscribe to this channel because of this video sir, thank you
This really is an insane release from Apple. I always thought the modern smartphones had pretty average sensors in them but almost all the secret sauce WAS the computational/massive overcompensation with the oversharpened look. I have been considering a camera upgrade but it looks like jumping back into iPhone after leaving the ecosystem 10 years ago might be the better idea.
I also do photos, I have used Capture One on the iPad which is great also. I love the idea of shooting tethered onsite into the iPhone, and then shooting all the video on the iPhone as well 😂
Iphone video looks to washed . If you re a pro you use a camera not a phone.
never seen a log footage?
@@Teluric2 photo & video is my full time gig that I make $10k a month with
This just helps make it easier
@@mamamia601 yea I have over 10tb of raw log footage on my server
With BlackMagic Camera Apps you can film 60fps 4k ProRess Log
Great video, thanks ! that black magic story is so crazy... also.. even thoug you have a mighty beard, i think you should take a step back in terms of framing. But who am I to say that? lol keep up the good work, peace !
Amazing prices for those color gradings
I just want to know when you are 🎥 can it be put on pause, and continue
I'd LOVE a video about an apple vs red court case?? Make it please!!
Hello Brother, I would like buy an iPhone 15 pro for filmmaking (videography). How many hours can i expect battery life in the iPhone 15 pro. Can you please reply for this comment soon...?
Oh, and I assume it still has the low light issue? Only use it in well lit environments.
Stop Speculating YA Biased Assumption FOOL ❗️
You should record a couple of your talking head video portions with the iPhone 15 Pro Max with Log. It would be nice for us to compare.
having a hard time deciding between iphone 14 pro max and iphone 15 pro max, to create videos for tik tok, youtube, work, travel ect.... help me plz....thank u.
What is external ssd?
