Stunning footage!!! Thanks for your explanation and the Luts too.
Your videos are really informative and built with practical stuffs. You definitely add value to ur viewers!
Thank you!
absolutely stunning, also a solid video for how great the iPhone 15 pro lines are. great job!👍
Thanks so much!
I love how you colour graded the leaves. Really cool.
Thank you so much for the video and the lutpack! It looks amazing I can’t wait to film more in apple log!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
This is the best video I’ve seen on this topic so far! Concise but thorough! And thanks for the free luts!
I appreciate that a lot (or a LUT)!
Lots of great memories flooding back of routes I’ve climbed there 👍
Thanks for the free lut conversions
The iPhone 15 Pro Max with the BMC app has been a game changer for me. Outstanding results with ProRes 422LT Log to either external SSD when I am doing planned shoots or to a Thumb Drive when I am just out and about and see something I want to capture. BTW - the Big plus for me is that BMC app automatically generates a proxy file and saves it to the SSD/Thumbdrive. That streamlines my workflow into Davinci Resolve. Thanks for the LUTS - nice to have those options and looks.
Heck yeah! Such a great workflow if you like to shoot with a phone!
You actually can do exposure control outside of focus, you can swipe up before starting your video and there’s +/- icon where you can manually set the exposure, then just leave it like that!
Unfortunately that only sets the exposure compensation and doesn’t lock your exposure though. So it’s still changing exposure while you’re shooting if the brightness of the scene changes.
@@dunnadidit ohhh I didn’t realize that!
Very helpful content! Thank you...
Thanks for watching!
The footage looks a lot better than I was expecting for sure. The lens switching was also a lot smoother than I expected as well. Great tip on locking WB - this has been something we have needed forever! I also didn't realize we could use external recording now! I don't know that this will replace my mirrorless camera, but definitely great in a pinch or to mix in with other cameras! Also - i"m so glad you showed the color grading process. This is one reason I haven't tried this yet! And the LUTs - always providing a ton of value 👌👌👌
Thanks Luke! Seems like I hit all the points for you on this one! Glad to hear it was helpful!!
@@dunnadidit you sure did! Thanks again 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank You so much for that video [filming on iphone for dummies :) ] very helpfull
Glad to hear it was helpful!
Ottimo video! 👍
Quality video like usual 👏🏽
Thanks a ton!
Apple Log is insane!
Right!? It’s pretty solid.
It looks very good. It is fantastic to have such capability in your pocket at all times so you will never miss a shot.
However having watched it on my iPad, I can tell it is still inferior to large sensor cameras.
Amazing 🔥
Thanks!
Stunning
Lovely footage, don't have an iPhone 15 but still a pleasure to tune in.
So glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Your coloring skills are A1
Thank you!
It looks really good
I thought so too!
Hi, thanks for your great explanations, one question : for internal 24 p log prores recording, would you recommand a 512 Go or 1 To (heat) ? Thanks
-Apple Forever❤❤❤
-Thank You Steve❤🕊️🕊️
Just like the thumbnail!
DAMN!
That never looked like a smartphone footage 😱
Haha totally!
Fantastic shots. Outside of high shutter, I would never have thought that this was an iphone. Obviously , you can shoot high shutter speeds on Cine cameras, as well but I wouldn't have questioned it.
Totally! And there are systems you can use to get ND filters for the camera that would allow you to keep your shutter at 180° if you want to go to the lengths.
Great video. I saved your CST settings for later use.
Btw, did you have an ND filter on your iPhone while filming?
I have the iPhone 15 Pro, and when I went outside to shoot my first outdoor shots, the image was completely blown out no matter how low I set the ISO. Thanks.
No ND filters or any kind of extra gear was used on the iPhone shots. Just tap exposure and let the shutter speed crank up if it needed to.
Thanks for the vid just got a 15pro max and resolve ,question I use an external mic 🎤 can I use a USB-C hub to plug both my mic and a drive in at the same time?
Hi guys.
In IPhone 512GB is support Apple Res Pro Log in 60 fps.
I have this version and it works very well.
Best information for a neophyte like myself I've found so far. Not seeing the links to the cables in the description
WHOOPS! Thanks for letting me know! I just added it but here it is for you too. geni.us/ou0jDw
It’s so frustrating that you can’t just lock exposure without disabling af in the native camera app. Judging how long we’ve waited for the toggle for locking white balance we might get this in iPhone 21 :) But fair play to apple for adding this full fledged log profile. I find that it’s also best to underexpose the footage by about a stop shooting in apple log. Great video as always.
Thanks for the input on exposing, I haven’t done enough specific exposure testing yet to come up with my own thoughts there so I’ll keep that in mind!
You can. Press the arrow up and then use exposure setting. Also you could also lock the setting in camera settings
@@yamahaevo no you can’t. You can adjust exposure but unless you lock it the phone will continue to auto expose and the exposure will go up and down during recording depending on metering. If I hold down a finger on the screen to lock the exposure I will lock the af as well. Now way to separate them and there is no setting for it either.
@@LiveMyJourneyTom You are right! Wow thats bad 😢 i saw a video someone did this. But I assumed the meetering did not change since you are able to use exposuresetting. As you did try it, are you getting somewhat that exposure you want from the the exposure setting or does it change it to 0 as soon you tap the focus again?
We need manual shutterspeed and iso control asp.
I have the regular iPhone 15 so I don’t know if I can get good quality videos. I’m not a photographer or anything but I enjoy recording things so what features am I missing without the pro max?
Dunna, where did u get that nice table cover?)👍🏻
man I feel cold just watching this haha - glad I flew outta there when I did lol!
Haha 😂 you time traveled to warmer temperatures
If I am attempting to record audio during video, how do I mic the phone while also having external storage plugged in? I am researching options between MacBook pro with my Canon or upgrade my phone.
Please also make an S23 ultra camera test❤❤🙏
I use ACES(AP1) Input Color Space
Nice! I'll have to try this.
Question: If you have an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max with 1 TB of storage, do you still need to buy an external hard drive or thumb drive?
Nice post mate! Clear to the point! Question regarding the proxy option of Log... (even though I think I know the answer...) When we shoot Log proxy, is not like when we have large video files, we "transform" them to proxy and then we can access the larger original files on Davinci to color grade right? We don't have that choice? Or we do...? thanks! cheers!
Correct! Apple ProRes Proxy is just a file compression type, not an actual secondary file. It’s called that because it often gets used as that secondary smaller file to ProRes HQ. But if you’re shooting your primary file in ProRes Proxy, you’ll still get decent quality with smaller file sizes than the other ProRes options.
@@dunnadidit excellent! thank you! cheers!
so beautiful
Thank you!
Hey, I might be wrong but it looks like you can lock the exposure. On the record screen swipe up and then you can pick your exposure on the +_ icon. and I was changing in focus and it seemed to stay with the same exposure that I picked but I don’t do it very often, but I’m not 100% sure.
You had me checking to make sure I didn’t miss something haha. Unfortunately this still isn’t quite it. You can set the exposure compensation that way, but it will still fluctuate depending on where you point the camera. So you can set it to a good starting point, but then if someone with a black hoodie walks into frame, it will go “woah! Just got darker!” And brighten it up, keeping the whole frame to what it thinks is the exposure you want. Ideally, you would set and lock the exposure so it doesn’t fluctuate during your clip.
Yeah, I wasn’t sure but maybe there’s something in there in the future. Cheers.
Anyone notice when he said "subscribe" at the end of the video yhe subscription button had a ring of color around it? On the app not on the video itself.
It hard to tell if I like the quality of the footage because it gets crushed on CZcams. But your images are very nice.
Hi, does your iphone has a static sound after video recording or while listening to your video? it’s so loud in my iphone 15PM :(
How long did it take to go up Ha Ling Peak?
Hi, I am bit confused here please help… i am planning to start my youtube channel, a travelling channel to be precise.. i have a low budget. Should i go for Sony a6700 or Iphone 15 pro. Please Suggest….
Damn good for a “phone”. Honestly, except for a few zoom shots I would never have guessed this footage was from an iPhone.
The MoviePro app now has the ability to shoot in ProRes 4444 🤯. I’m wondering if this is pulling 12-bit off of the sensor.
Right!? I was pretty stunned when it turned out as decent as it is.
That’s crazy! I wonder!?
I have used this app as it’s only one aside of blackmagic that has log. I wasn’t pleased with the results. It didn’t look right. Lots of electronic chatter all over the footage and some crazy banding in the sky. It’s not proper apple log when you record with MoviePro 😡
One thing that constantly fails me with the iPhone is the oversaturation and really bad white balance. I guess that would be fixable if I started grading my footage in post.
Yeah this definitely helps with that. It's an extra step since you need to correct the footage from LOG but it's definitely not oversaturated to start with!
Great video, does this apply to iPhone pro as well as max right? also you showed us the settings in colour space transform in DV, but what settings would you choose when you click the cog wheel under preferences?
Yeah same deal with the pro… I just happen to have the max so I used that.
In the settings, I typically set my timeline color space to Davinci wide gamut, then my output to rec709-A
@@dunnadidit Thanks for the response, im a new subscriber by the way as I felt this video was super helpful, especially now that you explained the output colour space, its very helpful, especially what you explained with the Blackmagic app, because those huge Pro res files were so large and takes ages to transfer, thanks so much, im gonna try some shooting with it tomorrow lol
@aaphotofilm so happy to hear that! Welcome to the channel and hope to see you in future comments sections!
@@dunnadidit Thank you so much for the warm welcome, I also forgot to mention I downloaded and installed the LUTs you gave here for DaVinci Resolve and they are amazing, so thank you so much again :)
Looks a little choppy on movement. Anyway to eliminate, like recording to an external drive?
That might actually just be shutter speed. Using an ND filter would help with that most likely.
Thanks for the conversion lut !
just to confirm it’s the color space transform from davince resolve but turned into a lut file? No other adjustments ?
Kind of, I used a third party app called Cinematch to do the conversion though, not the DVR built in CST
@@dunnadidit would you say that is better than just doing the CST and converting that into a lut file? (Can you please provide that file in question?)
Pardon my ignorance on this matter I don’t use DVR
It’s very similar if not interchangeable. Cinematch actually measures the sensor of individual cameras to get their equations so technically it should be more accurate, but in the end both are good. I mostly chose to do it this way because it was a little easier and more consistent for me to create the LUT files.
Did you have to format the thumb drive in any way? I bought one to use but my phone won’t recognise it 😢
I believe its either apfs or EXFAT
I glued a fender washer to my ssd. It attaches to the magnet on my case
Smart!
Ugh, the SanDisc thumb drive doesn't work... I just purchased it and it is skipping frames even while recording 4k 30, not to mention 4k 60... It has a write speed 150....
Thanks for letting me know you're having issues. I'm going to put a warning in the description. Hopefully you can still return it.
Still think its worth the camera if you're not gonna shoot in pro res or would you recommend the s23 ultra for video?
No idea tbh. Never used the s23 myself.
Apple is king in video, android has some shutter lags
Did you get any dropped frames with the thumb drive?
I haven't noticed any yet but I'm hearing other people talk about this!
@@dunnadidit ah cool good to know.
Damn Apple and their awesome upgrades!! 😂
Haha they really did it with this one!
I wish there were some talk about how unusable this footage format is. Premiere Pro doesn’t play most iPhone footage at all without converting it into a format where you lose a lot of data. The fact that it looks great on my phone doesn’t really matter if I can’t edit it normally.
ProRes footage is known as one of the most useable playback media formats. So if you’re using ProRes it should be better for playback than typical h.264 or h.265.
Regarding recording to thumb stick. I have had a nasty surprise yesterday. I’ve used a much faster stick than the one you suggested but all the recordings have tones of dropped frames :/ When I recorded 4K60 the most fames reported in DR is 50 and some files are as low as 43. They are unusable. Only the studni recorded with the action mode in 2.8K retained 60 fps and smooth playback.
Either the phone is heating a lot or the stick is not running upto the mark.. try again with another drive
@@rupeshgarg2757the one that Dunna suggested is 150 MBps while my Samsung is something like 480 MBps :/ It records fine to T5 and T7 SSD. Trouble is when I was recording to the thumb there was no warning anything was wrong and all the recordings are pretty much ruined 😢
This is super interesting! I haven't noticed dropped frames but I'm going to do more testing! Thanks for bringing this up.
@@dunnadidit I bought a MagSafe pad and stuck it to my Samsung T7 now and that works flawlessly.
Ciao, se usi BlackmagicCam c'è l'opzione che ti avvisa se perdi fotogrammi.
view at 2:35 is wow
Insane hey?
The setup in Devinchi is way too complex with nodes and drop-downs What happened to simplifying things.
Haha, I hear you. But, to be completely honest, that's a pretty straightforward and simple part of using LOG profiles. Without breaking down all the basics of color grading in Davinci Resolve, that's pretty much as simple as it gets.
any tips on using the exposure compensation function on the iphone native camera app? like, some people recommend bringing it down anywhere between -.7 and -1.7 depending on the situation.
I’ve heard this too, people saying to underexpose and which feels a bit counterintuitive to me as I typically expose to the right for log footage (while still protecting highlights). I need to do more testing before I’d feel comfortable giving a solid answer though.
@@dunnadidit word. Ive got mine at -.7 and it's been fine i guess. Need to play with it myself!
I can’t understand the logic in converting a rec2020 video to the obsolete rec709 for output?
I would love to hear your reasoning for why Rec709 is "obsolete"?
@@dunnadidit most of us view content in a TV which supports rec2020 colour space and HDR. So it’s far better in viewing HDR content on my OLED than SDR with rec709. Of course those who still use an SDR TV can view HDR as SDR because the HLG profile converts it to SDR.
Bro, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro can take 12 bit colour depth photo when ProRaw turned on. But iPhone 14 Pro and 15 Pro can only take 10 bit colour depth photo when ProRaw turned on. Why ?
I don't have an iPhone, so can anyone please let me know if you turn ProRaw in 12 megapixel instead of 48 megapixel, can it take 12 bit photos ?
I'm curious about this because, 12-bit = 68 billion colours. But, 10-bit = 1.07 billion colours. That's a huge difference.
If iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro cannot take 12 bit photos, that seems to be a huge downgrade !
??
No idea why this is?
Alberta?
Yup!
The quality has come so far it makes you want to think that we can't possibly get better. And yet history would say that new strides will come. What do you think Apple does next?
_Is this for real? This can’t be the iPhone they put log uncompressed recording on the iPhone no way, no way_
It's real!
of course it’s real
A decade from now that word CINE CAMERA, ARRI & PANAVISION won’t even exist in the language of future film makers & whilst 85% of Hollywood cam crews & operators would give us total grief over this statement saying the Iphone pro max is just a toy.. .these are the same people who will be sitting on unemployment lines down the road. THE FUTURE is coming & you cannot stop a rolling tide of CHANGE. BRING IT ON, built in VFX, CGI,AI, Evolution, smaller devices that have lightening fast - powerful A24 chips, faster glass, better bokeh, LiDAR, full frame sensors, anamorphic selections, A dedicated full solution APP … you name it. Just BRING IT ON. In a decade I bet you every film maker will have an Iphone Pro Max & be singing its praises. Just like when Analogue cameras ending up being landfill.
