QUICK GUIDES: Blackmagic Camera App for iPhone 

You're a great teacher TLDR... I've viewed most of the Blackmagic tutorials... and yours is one of the best! When you have time, many would benefit from an update.

Ok I've been watching a few tutorials on Black Magic (for iphone) and yours is the only one that gave me confidence I will be able to pull it off. THANK YOU.

Great overview. =) A few already out there but you definitely cover a few other topics.

This is great! I will surely check it back when I get my new iPhone tomorrow :) You explained all the things very well for people at any kind of level. Appreciate it!

Glad I found this. Great tutorial. I have V1.2 and some of the stuff you said was missing has indeed been added. I'm a noob at video and am struggling to learn Resolve. I wish there were tutorials as clear as this one for that!

Thank you this was so helpful! cheers.

Great breakdown. Thank you

Great breakdown. Thanks for sharing.

So simple !! Thank so much!!

A very good comprehensive view of black magic. I do like Rode app as well. Thank you

This is a really good video. Thanks!

Thanks for this nice tutorial ! Subscribed now to see more ! 👏👏👏🙏

Thanks for saving me to time of making a tutorial! I’ve got too much lessons to plan and assignments to grade. 😂😂😂

Thx for video

Thank you

Excellent❤

Well explained. :))

amazing

Well done overview. 4 channel audio? New to me!

Hey, great vid! But im wondering, how do you shoot close ups? I have a 15pro and want to shoot close ups of my watch like they do on watch commercials, can you reccomend any presets for that? Thanks!

_1080 P is still the industry standard, most of my video playbacks are either on the phone or tablet; I don’t make industry-standard movies so I’m pretty good with 1080 P And nearly 80% of people never really playback their videos above 1080 P on RU-vid. You can’t really tell the difference when it comes to image quality with resolution except for on standard TV monitors. The bigger the screen, the more resolution you’re going to need_ _1080 P allows me to have a lot more recording time as I record with 422HQ for the highest image quality of details especially when I want to record above 30fps at night_

Great video! Thanks. Any idea how to get the Iris unlocked and to operate it manualy? I'm operating an Iphone 11. Have a nive day!

Are you sure it's cropped 16:9? I believe the sensor is square and that the app can record 4K 16:9 when you hold the phone i portrait orientation.

thanks for the guide! I noticed when recording with rear camera of my iPhone 13, the video looks cooler than using front camera. Is it white balance issue?

Thanks for the quick guide! The overview gave me a better idea of what/where the features were. I understand that Blackmagic Camera app records video. Is there any way to use it to take photos?

Thanks for the great tips! Is it possible to edit the video after the recording is complete?

Can I use the Blackmagic app (or any others) + a teleprompter app at the same time?

I wish you would give us example on how to set up for out door sport video where the subject is close

4:33 book marked thanks

FYI my iPhone 13 regular has all the codecs in your video. Thanks for a very detailed tutorial on this app.

hi thanks for the great video! Is there a way to use your computer monitor to view yourself as your recording?

Can this app take photo? Or video only?

Thank you !! You made it super easy to understand.

I purchased the True LIfe LUT and found two cube files in the download. I'm sure I missed something but why two files? Which do I use in BM Camera app? Which do I use in Resolve? Great tutorial! One of the clearest and Most complete BMC tutorials out there.

How have i not come across your channel up until now. Really like the way you explain and get to the point. Can i ask, what is is apple log to rec 709 lut, what does it actually do apart from make everything bright thank you and a new sub

Just a simple question how do you get the back camera to show up??? No one seems to show you this mine is stuck on the front camera?

I have the base 13 yet it still gives me the 4 apple prores 422 options on the app, even when I can't enable it through the settings. The files come out BIG and are designated as prores. Is this a glitch or did blackmagic draw out my phones locked away abilities?

When recording to In App & Photo Library is it recording the clip twice, increasing disk use? Perhaps they'll allow Photo Library only in a future update if that's the case as many of us use Apple Photo to organize our iPhone clips.

Hi, I am interested in your LUT. i would like to know how to set up color management and color space transform function for apple log in DVR before using your LUT.

What flicker rate in Europe do we use? Excellent video on the app. Thanks

Good day I really hope you reply, can you colour grade with the footage shot on the BM app I’m currently using an iPhone 12 and do my colour grading on CapCut

If i have an iphone 14 and i dont have apple log what color space should i be using?

Does it work with older iphones like the 6s? Thanks!

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

❤

How do you get the blackmagic files already recorded and stored on the phone to the cloud?

Thnks ! What Space chromatic in iPhone 13?

great app, color grading it in resolve is a challenge

I have a bluetooth remote that I want to use to control the shutter on the Blackmagic app when I got my Iphone on a tripod but it doesn't work. Works on the native Iphone camera app and with the Beastcam app. Is the Nucleus Nano the only device that allows control of the shutter in the Blackmagic app?

i recorded onto the black magic app hjowever in the media folder all the videos say 00.00?? Dont know what to do!

How to turn on the camera flash while using the app?

Regular 13s have them too btw.

how does it compares (image quality only) with motioncam free android app that shoots raw video ? thanks

How does one record Log footage while using the Blackmagic app at the same time?

FYI all the codecs are available for the regualr iphone 13, but unfortunately it will not allow you to shoot in Apple Log. I wonder if there is a way for Blackmagic to ennable this feature with a future update for regualr iPhones?

whats the cleanest codec for 13 pro?

I still don not understand how to take stills with this app

No lock white balance on record?

fantastic app...I want to use it with my 15 pro max while recording Pro Res LT to an external samsung SSD...but I want to use either a DJI Osmo mobile 6 or an Insta 360 Flow gimbal...these gimbals have their own apps...can I still use the BlackMagic app? I guess so...I will just lose the functions of the native apps...otherwise BM is great. I will use my 15pro max for vertical videos for social content (tired of cropping my 4k footage from the Sony FX30) and it will be faster and almost as good for social platforms. Thanks

Hello, thank you for this wonderful video, but how can I download tldr - apple logo - type - 65

How to activate cinematic mode iphone in blackmagic camera app?

Can you record in BRAW?

Can we shoot with the x2 lens ? I can’t find it …

While recording, if I switch my camera from rear to front, the recording that contains the front part gets flipped upside down. What do I do?

How to make it lock horizontally?

Hi, so I’m not able to set f-stop with this app. Why is that? It seems to me it is such a basic need. Is there way how to choose how much I want the background blurry/sharp?

How do I save these videos to my computer? I click save to photos then connect my phone to Windows, but then the video file names are completely changed and they are not in the order that I want them in (I prefer the file names that Blackmagic uses, when I save to photos, the iPhone renames them something with random characters and they are not in order) Is there any other way of doing this?

Hi. I’m using an iPhone 14 Pro and the Blackmagic app only allows me to go up to 30fps.

Can we adjust iris also?

Is it only for video

It's not working with iPhone 14 Pro. right?

I can’t save a 34 min video and I can’t share it… please help me it’s for my podcast

my 13mini can shoot ProRes 422 HQ

Apple log is not on my device. How do I get it?

Can you film slow motion on the app?

Nicely done! Can we take photos with Blackmagic Camera app?

no iris?

This application does not shoot with constant FPS, why? The application only shoots with variable FPS.

Did you skip the metadata screens?!

In case anybody is wondering, you cannot take a plain old "picture" with this app. ... It is for VIDEOS only.

I take it the F stop don’t work at all.. something that should be mentioned in ur review thanks great video..

So how do you just take a photo? Lol

An excellent introduction to this app for newcomers. I would howver take issue with your mistake of calling the 2 x lens as 2 "ecks" and not 2 times. This is the correct use of the x symbol. It's the multiplication factor and not just a name of the lens. Too many peoiple might just hear this and go away and continue using it...

No one really explains if this app is only for photos too. Like how can we take photos with it? Confusing app

So I have to read between the lines and assume this app does not take still images!?

The Black Magic camera app feels like a knife at the back of Android users! 😢 Come on Blackmagic, do the right thing and release this app for Android too! ❤

The app has a major issue. If you lock the shutter speed, you no longer are able to get the AUTO ISO. That's bad.

Thanks for your review. Auto white balance is NEVER a good option. To recommend it is not good advice. It will add a bluish or orangish tint to the image. This is a physical fact. Things are very easy now but when I started working with big ENG cameras seeing the. world through black and white viewfinders it was a more or less common occurrence to see cameramen coming back to the. TV with orange or blue images. I had read the physics of white balance and thanks to that never shot tinted images. . I used to say at the time that a good white balance is half the camerawork. It was. It doesn't matter if you are shooting with an iPhone or a £20,000 camera. Auto white balance is for amateurs only. If you are doing paid work then go manual. Sometimes the preset can be a good option but never the automatic. Auto white balance will also do a really bad average reading if the temperatures are mixed. The main problem is the bluish tint you will get when shooting outdoors with auto white balance. So, to anyone out there who is in doubt:. Do your own test. White balance, shoot. Then leave the white balance on auto and shoot. It will be bluish. There is no cheating the physics of light. I have tests proving that in a review. P.S. It seems that the app doesn't have manual white balance! It puzzles me that so many people are praising this app so much seeing there are so many important features missing. I guess the app will get better along the time. I did a test comparing the Blackmagic with cinema P3. Just the image quality.

Why do all these apps have to be so complicated? Okay boomer (me)…
