Wow! It’s pretty phenomenal how far smart phone cameras have come. I started looking into cameras and then thought maybe just a good lens and post production would be enough to start with. I can’t wait to play around with some of these apps. I’m so glad I found this channel. When looking for lenses, all I could find were influencer hacks. All the videos on this channel have been incredibly helpful. Finding a knowledgeable and honest content creator is like finding a needle in a haystack. Thank you!

This is super helpful! I haven’t done a lot with Filmic Pro lately, mainly because of Cinematic mode. But with the new iPhone 15 Pro, I’m thinking about making better use of the camera hardware to get the depth-of-field look. I don’t do a lot of post-processing, so these are some great tips to enhance things in the editing process.

Another big help would be to know how to optimize the rest of the iPhone for shooting. Putting it into Airplane mode doesn’t always work 😅 I kept my 7 and stripped it of all apps and cell service. No hiccups or dropped frames yet!

I just downloaded Filmic Pro after watching your video. Thank you. I notice that my audio levels are not on the right side of the screen instead across the top horizontally. How can I change it to the right side?

Looking forward that Dehancer also supports CinemaP3’s log profiles.

[GlennUpgraded]

Can you make a video showing the difference or a comparison when using CinemaP3 log with Dehancer, 10bit rec709 with Dehancer, and Filmic Pro log v3 with Dehancer? Something like this example on this video will be perfect.
Love the look you did on this video.

[GlennUpgraded]

Do Cinema P3’s 10bit log behave the same way as Filmic when converting with the Filmic’s picture profile for V3 log? What is your recommended workflow when using Cinema P3’s log when using Dehancer?

Thanks for your feedback! Love the results! We welcome everyone to test our IOS App for film-like photo and video editing 😀

Hi plz compare moment anamorphic Len’s vs beastgrip anamorphic mk2….!

Any thoughts on shooting on an iphone SE (2022 version)?

[travellingman]

I sometimes wonder whether movie goers, or those watching TV, really care that much about the ‘looks’ or whether it’s a lot of hype put out by the producers of the film/video to justify or try to sell the outrageous costs. I firmly believe that the audience is more concerned with the story line as opposed to how much grain has been added. Most of my videos are shot using a 4/3rds camera on a Gimbal and yes, sometimes I use my Smartphone either handheld or on a Gimbal. There is absolutely no way I would splash out my hard earned on cages, anaphoric lenses etc and that’s not to mention the ridiculous price of plug-ins that cost more than the editing software itself.

How should you colour correct and grade with non LOG footage?

[Bergclub]

Hi, Does your LUT pack also work on the videos shot on Cinema P3?

[Jake-zcfk]

Could you please discuss how you get these massive files off your iPhone and onto your computer.... please? I'm having a hard time getting the ProRes size files to transfer reliably, and even when I get them to transfer it's taking a LONG time. A video on your process for transfers would be nice. I guess the addition of the USB-C port to the 15 will solve much of this issue so long as Apple doesn't hamstring the port. I'm currently using the lightning cable to a Mac Studio, so it I would think it should be working better for me than it is.

Great video. How do you attach the diffusion filter? I read that the clips can have issues with the raised border on cases around the lenses, and don't want to use a case that comes with filter threads as it's likely not as rugged as my current case. Wouldn't the iphones aggressive sharpening sharpen the diffusion? I guess not totally. Is it possible to tone down the in built over sharpening?

[MMA_fightnight]

I wish I can get the gear for my iPhone to shoot video, especially the moment Nd filter ..too expensive for me..ur too good on iPhone cinematography keep it up ❤

[DipOpsTV]

Can you make video about vlogging video on iphone

[limebulls]

What’s better? Dehancer or Filmconvert Nitrate?

[sarcasticfpv]

Hi, i know I am pretty late to the party but what's the current thing with filter clip mounts (without a case) as far as I have seen there is one made by moment with 67mm screw in filters but I can't get it easy to Germany. Then there is a magnetic 52mm made by smallrig but this one is already only compatible with iphone 12/13... Are there no other options?

I don’t know what I just watched but I do want to know and learn, but this was WAY over my head
