In the "camera" tab of the settings, I would recommend changing the Shutter measurement from "speed" to "angle". Then back to the main screen, for "shutter" select 180°. Then you are sure to get the right shutter speed no matter your fps and don't have to worry about changing it.
I was asking why in Apple keynote they kept the shutter 1/180 when the frame rate was 24. You just answered that 👍
Wow, just about to buy an iPhone 15 that is a top tip!
Note - Shutter Angle and Shutter Speed are two different things. Shutter Angele is calculated to a specific FPS, Shutter Speed is not.
This is the biggest tip ever, everyone do this for best motion blur
@@connorwagstaff2348 unless it is a bright sunny day and you do not have ND filters... in that case shutter option is a bit better because you can crank it up. You will lose motion blur but the picture will be visible :)
After many many many youtube videos I finally got to this one which explains in details all I need in a level which fits mine, well done!
Great Video Matt! The HEVC 265 is an especially Valuable tip!
Thanks a bunch with how to lock the ISO via the locking the shutter. I went out this afternoon and was a happy camper. Yes the only real accessory we need is the VND filter other than the external SSD - I went with the Crucial X10 small and convent to carry. The iPhone 15 Pros with BMC app have been a game changer for me. Thanks for your clear and pertinent video.
Great video Matt! I’ve yet to play with the apple log but you have answered a lot of my questions about it. Thank you!
Another informative video Matt as always
Great job as usual, Matt!
Thanks for this detailed video. I bought the Moment filter adapter for the iPhone 15 Pro for filters with a 67mm thread. Perfect since most of my ND filters are 67mm.
This is so clear and helpful! Thank you! Will definitely check out more of your work.
Thank you for this! This was the best tutorial!
Simply the best information on this topic, thanks
Extremely helpful, thank you.
Hi Matt. Im new to black magic app. still learning about video recording etc. can you let me know what settings I should do if I was the film at night??
Amazing tips ! Thank you Matt so much 😊
for youtube videos should i use 24 fps or 30 fps ? you seem to have a preference for 24
great video!! thank you, was very helpful!
Cool to know! I have a question. When I shoot with the above setting and I import my files to da Vinci and apply color transform.
Do I choose input color space rec. 2020
Input gamma apple log
Output color space : rec.709
Out put gamma rec.709
Or do I change something there?
Thanks for the tips
What external ssd do you recommend? I am having troubles trying to figure the best way to get footage from my iPhone to my pc without uploading via WiFi or anything cloud, I want to transfer direct.
Subscribed ! Question(s). Can a 1tb iPhone 15 bypass the need to film with an SSD on the camera body and just off load the 1TB to the SSD when it’s full? And then you’d just need a 1tb iPhone and an attachment for an ND filter and use Blackmagic and internal LUT? If so I’m getting one today!
Thanks for the ISO tip Matt, just curious if you happen to have any LUTS available? 😉
Me too, would love to know!
OOO So helpful king
Great video. Thanks
Matt, thank you so much for the instructional vids. they are great. Can you tell me approximately how many hours of video would fit on 1T SSD if setting at HEVC
Will have to give the H.265 a try. Thanks for the insight Matt
The only downside of H.265 is that it plays slow in editor apps. I work in DaVinci Resolve and what I do is grade the shot first. Then when I want to play it back, I set the Timeline Resolution to Half Resolution and it plays back at 24fps. If you don't have Resolve, I would think you would have a similar choice in the editing app you use.
@@AllThingsFilm1 will have to check, using final cut pro,
@@AllThingsFilm1does it work fine in premier if you know?
Hi, thank you for your awesome tutorial. How do I choose ND filters when I use IOS 1250? They have a variety of specifications.
So, Good video by the way. I dont have a 15 pro only a 13 pro iphone so no apple log. but if i record like you say and i lock the shutter speed yes the iso stays locked but i have found that in the settings as mentioned you are able to adjust the iso by selecting the exposure button (round circle with + / _ ), the bracket control i guess.
I understand the part that to get the best hDR you want to have the iso set high but would this not cause a lot of grain.
hope it makes sense what im asking
thank you
I do not agree with the ISO 1250 advice at all. The iPhone quality really suffers when you raise the ISO. Even if you may not see noise its because the camera uses very aggressive noise reduction which leads to very blotchy details and mush. Yes it lifts the clip point so you get more highlight stops but you destroy the fidelity of the video by doing so.
It's much better to shoot under exposed like everyone else is suggesting. Apple log maps a ton of stops below middle gray and only 3 stops over middle gray. By shooting under by just 2 stops we now have 5 stops over middle gray or much closer to other log formats. Some of the best log formats typically only have 6 stops over middle gray. While shooting under is typically not the best choice the way the iPhone and Apple Log work there is a ton of detail in the shadows and it is much cleaner to shoot under vs using ISO 1250. You still get a lot of highlight range if you need it but much cleaner details.
Plus one really needs to determine if they really need that many highlight stops of range. Getting 6 stops over middle gray only to crush it down to rec709 is kind of pointless. Log formats are not a one size fits all format. They are made so we can choose what is more important for the shot. Shadow stops or highlight stops. Sort of like how the BMD Pocket cameras work. ISO is used to determine how the stops are mapped under vs over middle gray. Apple Log at lower ISO levels clip sooner in the highlights but thats because more of the stops are mapped in the shadows below middle gray. The details 99% more likely to be seen and have importance to the story.
Another reason ISO 1250 is not a good suggestion is because a lot of narrative work tends to be lit to be lower contrast and fit much better within a limited rec709 range. We rarely have details that go over 90% reflectance and just don't need a lot of extra highlight stops. They become pointless and a large throw away portion of the log curve values. Apple Log as it is is well suited for this since it easily covers a normal contrast range for rec709. Shooting at ISO 1250 would not really gain anything extra and what it did gain would likely be thrown out.
Dynamic range is nice to have but not at the expense of sacrificing everything else important just to say you have more stops of range. Those stops need to serve a purpose.
Finally ISO 55 outdoors in bright sunlight and 24p 1/48th already requires at least 7 stops of ND filtering. If shooting two stops under thats 9 stops of filtering which is a lot. Shooting at ISO 1250 is almost 5 stops more ND filtering needed. Thats at least 12 stops of ND filtering which is an insane amount. Its hard enough finding a decent filter system for the iPhone and a real challenge trying to use 12 stops of filtering.
I am not fine with that high iso too. I test it and bad results!
Whats the best iso?
@@rainer_wolf I agree with you both and am finding 1250 extremely noisy with nd filter in my tests. Best to stick to regular iso in my humble opinion, even though I respect Gerald Undone and Matt opinion greatly I have to go with my personal experience.
High ISO doesn't create noise- low light exposure does. High ISO only illuminates all the noise that was already there because of such low light exposure.
@@Techno_Ramahey, how do you measure if you are over or under exposing? On a camera you have a meter that shows you but on this app I don’t know, esp when shooting in log. Thanks
Hello, are you filming your video face cam with iphone 15 pro max ?
If yes, can you give me please your settings exactly blackmagic camera ?
Nice video
I am not sure if you want to try this. But I really love your video as always😊 can you make a tutorial to have a best settings for food video.. please!!
Do you know if the h265 Apple Log with Backmagic Cam is also in 10 bits ?
good video. Can you do a video on setting up the BM iphone App to recored to an (external) SSD?
Good job with this video, it did help a lot!
PS: I respect your work but people are looking into this software because it's free, the competitor is selling their product for 39$/year and you are selling the luts for 140$. It's too much for luts man, maybe make a package just for iphone 15 pro users, or maybe just one natural lut and sell it for a lot less. Again I respect your work but this is not the audience for that price.
Hey Matt- I tried to use your coupon code for the luts package and it says it is invalid so can you check into that?! I was thinking about buy one of them.
Matt please make a video on osmo pocket 3 & can its 4k60 & 4k120 be used in weddings...
Waiting for ur review
Can you give tutorial on how to edit apple log footage only on iphone including applying LUT just on the iPhone would be great 🥹💯
Thank you
Does this configuration look good on a normal iPhone 15?
bro this took my vids to next level thank you
Do you have recommended settings for the IPhone 14 plus?
If the Appel Log option doesn't appear on my iPhone since it's a 13 Pro, which one do I select? Thank you for the video
super helpful
I have the iPhone 15 Pro Max and use the Blackmagic Camera app with all the specifications I've seen in this tutorial and others. However, my videos always have grain, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I understand it might be due to low light in the places I'm recording, but almost all the material has grain. Can you help me improve this? Thank you in advance
Excelllent information. Please expand in the next. video on how to expose using false color with and without a LUT loaded in the app. No one has any info on this yet.
LEGEND!
What an awesome video ... is there any way to use "LOG" (not Apple Prores LOG) on the iPhone 14 Pro ? I think that the "Moments" Camera App allows to apply a LOG color profile but not sure ...
I have the same problem
Should you still use 1250 in a lower light situation? I filmed something recently in 4k 30 log, in a dark room with just a ring light illuminating my subject, with my iso around 450 and it came out way over exposed. If it's more of a night situation where should you put the iso?
You know I have the same thought. I shot in a 30% lit room with natural light peeking through the window and I can see a lot of noise in mids and lows. Yes I shot in prores apple log. Could it be the 13mm lens? Do the other lens have less noise?
On my iPhone 13 Pro Max, for the color space I have rec.709, rec.2020-HDR, and P3 D65. Which one is the best option?
Is this camera only for taking videos or does it take photos too?
How do I measure my exposure once my ND filter is on? Do I still need to expose 1 stop under/to the right?
Thanks!
Thanks. Should also mention the newest update now has the Apple LOG to REC709 LUT included.
@michaelbell75 I’m facing an issue. There are 2 options record lut to clip and display lut.
If i dont enable record lut to clip, it displays lut only after recording is complete and when i export it to files it gets exported without lut. And if i enable record lut to clip, it record lut to clip but also after recording it again apply a lut making it unpleasant and overly graded, do you have any idea
@@codebros13did you find a solution for this? Having the same issue
really good thanks
apple log isn't an option for me on my app, what is a 2nd best option you would recommend
Can you talk about the audio settings? Whenever I export the videos from the blackmagic cam app to my premiere pro, the audio and video are not synced.
This is great. I wish Apple or Blackmagic would let us know what the native ISO is for LOG. Its frustrating since this is a pretty important setting when it comes with maximizing your dynamic range
Matt I am very new to video recording. I am going to create how to videos (online training videos) inside and some outside you mentioned in this video that you can almost just get as good quality with the stock camera settings. Could I use this for my online training video suite without having to use LUTS and Davinci etc...I don't mind hooking up a external HD...thanks Matt and great video.
Yes it should work great 👍
thanks matty
Anywhere I shoot, inside or outside it's way too bright at 1/48 shutter with an iso at 1250 ISO unless it's nighttime another isn't any light but with any sort of lighting it's way too bright. Does increasing the shutter speed somehow compromise the dynamic range? I assume the only thing that affects the dynamic range in this example is the ISO and the shutter can be anything above 1/48.
My friend do uou know by any chance how to shoot slow motion using the black magic app? Thank you
Idea for a new video: how to color match iPhone 15 Log and DJI Pocket 3 Log (and optionally add Sony S-cinetone & Log3 to the mix)
Extremely useful tutorial, thank you! So many out there that don't explain the quirks of exposure in BMC, but you did a really good job.
Here's a question: Why do you think there's no "AUTO" option in ISO? I wish I could lock the shutter speed for motion blur, but then have ISO be the wildcard that it uses for auto exposure. I don't see why that couldn't be an option, with an [AUTO] button at the top so you could disable it and go full manual.
Maybe there's some expsure-triangle reason why it's not possible that I'm not thinking of... Do you know? Or should we be lobbying BM to update it 😅
(my ND filter and Neewer mounting cage are on their way. Like you say, I don't WANT to rig it up, but it does look like it's simply necessary to use filters, just like it is on all but the most outrageously expensive cinema cameras)
I have a iPhone 14 Pro so apple log isn’t an option for color space. What is the second best option?
Thanks much for your video and I copied the settings! But how come my ISO’s number just have 1250 and 1600 no any numbers between like your screen shows? Thanks again!
Same here
Is the h265 4:2:0 or 4:2:2?
Do i still turn my iso to around 1280- 1600 if i dont have a nd filter?
Is there an option to lock the shutter and set automatic ISO?
Will blackmagic let me shoot in h265/log with the iphone 15 (not the pro) version?
Absolute great video!!!
Can it be that Apple Log is no longer in the app? It seems I can only choose between Re.709 -Rec.2020-HDR and P3 D65.... What am I missing here?
Oh maybe the iPhone 14 ... 😕
Sir, excuse: download for the first time ever the Black Magic app. Test it not 4K because I use lower iPhone SE 2020. I write you because of the audio inbuilt microphone of the iPhone that gives a lot of noises. Is there an setting for to normalize the audio sound. Thanks for your presentation, I made screenshot of the ISO and shutter speed settings because I hope off course it will help on 1920 etc. Luc
Hey! I was just about to film a video like this!
I have been following your guide - newbie here! I have imported a lut to Blackmagic camera app and selected “record lut to clip” - however if I try to share the video to stories in Instagram it shows it without the lut applied and I’m unsure why? Anyone able to help?
Before watching this video, I didn’t even realize you could do H.265 and still record in log. I will have to try this!
So does this app really not allow you to take stills? It's a whole dedicated camera app with all these settings and it won't let me take stills in addition to video?
Can we record in log at 120 fps?
Is the an option to have a display-only LUT for when you’re filming so it doesn’t look so flat?
Yes
Any tips for shooting log via black magic in high light snowy mountains (I’ll be in Alaska) ? I did just get the polarpro nd case/filter for the 15 pro. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as I’m very new to shooting in log
Nd filter and be prepared to still crank the shutter
Prores LT is best compromise IMO
I did all of these except I did HD/ 1080p to save more space but my footage got really muddy, how can I prevent that and have a sharp image?
do you still need to over expose in apple log?
Hey. How do I import this h.265 footage into davinci on a windows machine. It's not showing up in the media pool and it seems to be a .mov file when I see in a folder on my computer. Whereas in the phone it is a .hevc file. Any info on this would be great!
When you enable log the screen contrast goes really down and outdoors is almost impossible to see. The phone’s brightness doesn’t help either because as soon as it warms up the brightness goes down as well.
Now, one you enable LUT in camera, then it actually records with that LUT baked in.
Is there a way to apply the LUT only for monitoring purposes, but still get ungraded log footage when copying the files from the phone to computer?
use Blackmagic and in Settings - LUTS turn on Display LUT but make sure Record LUT to Clip is off
do you know why when I take a video with the application when I upload it to my photo gallery The file size is much smaller than that on the application
Is the apple log hdr only for iPhone 15??
Fantastic content as usual. But, I must be missing something. I did a test shoot today with full sun outdoors and with these settings on iPhone15 Pro max: ISO/1250, fps/30, shutter/60, fstop/1.8 (fixed), ND filter cranked to max (ND2-ND32 (1-5 Stop). I couldn’t get the exposure low enough. 🤷🏻 I had to lower the ISO to 55
im having the same problem, even just shooting indoors with regular ceiling lights on, iso 1250 is way too high although no zebras show up. But trying to make it look normal in post still was a no go. Feel like im missing a step here
@@denissoldo2868yeah im utterly confused by what he means by this i wish he explained further because ALMOST every other person has different ISO
Hi Matt, long time no speak. Hope you are well and Happy New Year. Great Video, as I knew you would be the one who could answer all my questions having recently invested in an IPhone 15 Pro Max. I have one question, which may be a dumb question, but I will ask anyway. Whatever the "tint" value is when you lock your WB, it stays at that number. Do I need to be in a certain lighting situation to lock the WB at say 5500 for the Tint to be correct, or does it not matter? ie: I could lock WB at 5500 indoors where the Tint would be say -17 and when I go outside it will be fine and because it is log this won't matter as I would correct it in post? OR .. should I be going to the situation first ie: outside, lock my WB at 5500 and the tint will be correct at the time of locking? Hope that makes sense .. I just don't want to go out and film a load and find the tiny screws it all up in post ! :) thanks.
Thanks Paul! I would recommend adjusting the tint by unlocking and relocking the white balance to make sure things don't look too green or magenta.
Great video!! thank you, it was very helpful. Question: when trying to use the Blackmagic app with the iPhone 15 Pro it will not recognize the Samsung SSD drive I have plugged in can you advise me on this?
Thanks Dave J
Hey! You may need to reformat the external SSD. Try using exFAT
@@whoismatt
Will do, thanks.
@@whoismatt SSD formatted to exFat, still not working any other suggestions/ ,please

Hi There. How do I shoot in the pure Apple LOG format without HDR? I compared the video from the built-in Apple Log camera app and the Blackmagic app - the difference is significant. The Blackmagic app captures only in Apple LOG HDR format, resulting in intense Tone Mapping for both light and colors. Can you conduct a comparison test yourself! My question is why doesn’t the Blackmagic app include the clean Apple Log format without HDR?
I was also wondering. Have you figured this out yet?
Learned filmmaking decades ago . Trying out youtube now just for a reason to make content and be better day to day. My viewers waiting for a camera test and last time when went to the Alpens to get some epic shot took my big ND with me. Almost scratched them just like hold them in front of my 15 pro max. Thanks for the PolerPro link! I really appreciate it
I think rig out a phone is stu**id but for hiking in the sommer time. Worth it for me with this case!
BTW good tutorial like everytime!
should i stick with rec 709 on 14 pro? i dont have log. or either go with p3 d65? plannin on davinchi color grade later
wondering the same as well, any insight would be appreciated!
You are defeating the purpose of using the this app over the native app if you go entirely by what this video is encouraging.
ProRes +10bit is the MAJOR advantage this app has over others because it’s enabled even on a iPhone SE 3. This means a iPhone “Pro” isn’t required to get ProRes video if you use the BM app.
Set your color space to REC.2020 and CODEC to ProRes for maximum color grading potential. Otherwise, it’s pointless to use the BM app over the native app.
The CODEC option HEVC (H.265) might not even be 10-bit and 4.2.2.
Hi Matt!
You stated iPhone 15 pro and the footage shows 15pro max does the same setting using the black magic app apply?
Yes
Thank you so.
FYI, Zebras aren't working great for me and I feel like 85 is a much better number. At 95 I'm over exposing and not getting Zebras to really show up at all.
With these settings I get the sky over exposed even when using ND filter, unless I let the shutter go auto. Are these most for indoor?
I have the same question. My 3-5 VND filter is still not enough for outside with the shutter speed at 1/48. Could use your advice please.
You would need to use more than 6 stops of ND with these sort of settings or let shutter speed go through the roof
Neva stop 🏁
Is there an iOS app that allows you to edit LOG directly on the phone?
VN app
Hi Matt, i have an iPhone 14 Pro. It can’t get colour space seating apple log HDR? There is no tab for that? Do you know why?
Apple Log is not available for iPhone 14 Pro, only 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max.
Hello! Tell me please how can I change the language in Blackmagic Camera App. I use iPhone 15 Pro. After installation I have Chinese, but need English.
Won’t ISO 1200+ bring noice?
Im not seeing that option in the color space, the Apple one. I have iPhone 14 pro max, do I need to tweak something to access this?
It’s available only for 15 models.
Even with 6-9 VND at 1250 iso 4K 30p you still overexpose in sunlight. What to do? Thanks for the video Matt
Hey! You’ll want to lower the ISO then. Even with less dynamic range it’s the best option
@@whoismatt makes sense, even at the lowest iso Apple log is lovely
