The fact that you reply to ALL comments is amazing! Your videos are great and informative! I’m a subscriber. The replying to all comments though, that’s just awesome! Lots of respect brother!

Thanks, Benett! I've been using Filmic Pro for several years now, and there's no doubt that it allows more creative control. However, I've recently switched back to the native camera app with the new iPhone 12 Pro. I think the footage just looks better from the native camera app and the color grading advantages of using Log V2 or V3 are negligible. The native app's stabilization is better than Filmic Pro, and while you can "lock" exposure using Filmic, Apple hasn't granted direct sensor access to third-party apps with the newer iPhones. I've noticed that even when I lock exposure in Filmic, it still changes -- perhaps you've noticed this too?

[StoicGore]

I never knew Image Stabilization made the picture view smaller. Thank you for making that connection for me!

[mediamannaman]

Thank you! Very well done. I just learned about Filmic Pro a few days ago and my immediate (and obvious) questions were: Why do I need this? Can't I do everything I need to do in the native camera app, or in the Mimo app for my OM4? I searched YouTube for the answers and mostly just found videos explaining how to use Filmic Pro. Until now. This video answers the questions for the native camera app. I'd love to see a similar video comparing FP to the Mimo app.

So awesome that you reply to every comment! I’m a subscriber because your information and delivery is great but replying to comments and all of them, that just gave me so much more respect and

iPhone camera app has no the audio meter which we don’t know the audio is recording or not, or how loud or quiet the sounds we’re recording.
I depend on Filmic Pro app that has the audio meter so that it's easy to manage the sound levels while I’m recording. Should we depend on the recording audio quality of the built-in mikes on Apple iPhones?

i was planning to buy the filmic pro.. thanks bro for the info.. worth it..

Great Vid :). I think the only thing missing on this video is video comparison from Apple Native App to Filmic Pro log V3. I think you will see that under difficult lighting scenarios that the Apple Native Camera will be able to get more dynamic range. I'm finding that the Apple Native app benefits from all the computational Dynamic range enhancements and Filmic Pro gets a more base sensor readout before the computational science, therefore I am finding that Filmic Pro has Less dynamic Range then you think and also I am Finding that the Log V3 picture profile Dynamic range once color corrected is the same as the Filmic Pro "Natural" picture profile dynamic range, which again is far less than the Apple Native Camera app. I think the best way to illustrate this is that Apple Cam video should look the same as filmic Pro "Natural", at least you would think, but you can see that Filmic pro natural is not at all like Apples Camera in DR. I do believe that Filmic Pro Log is faked and not a true log. Other Cam apps like ProCam8 and StaCam seem to benefit from the apples computational Dynamic Range. I have been testing this theory all week and so far StaCam with specifically the V-LOG profile turned on is the best dynamic range I can get on the iPhone, plus it has fully manual controls. Now if you dislike the computational enhancement then non of my comments apply to you :) that's my 2 cents

Just so everybody knows, this app now cost $2.99 per week, yes I said week. That is $156 per year subscription. In four years that is $624 for a frinkin phone App. I don't care how good this app is, it isn't worth that.

The most useful and well explained tutorials in the YouTube! 👏👏👏

[JeramieSaito]

Great video. I have a question. So Fil Mic Pro can solve my overexposed footage? This is the problem I always get when shooting with my Iphone xsmax. The videos look overexposed and overblown. When I turned off the HDR now I see a shadow on the right part of my shoulder from my face. What do you think?

[TheSUKJIN]

Is it a good way to shoot with the Philmick Pro vs. iPhone 14 Pro Genuine Camera app?

[BM-iccv]

Can i lock White balance on standard iPhone Camera app ? When i vlogging on ultra wide lens, colors are random change while i moving and it looks horrible ….:-/

[seokstudio]

love it.... i was looking foward like this video...!!

[leon-g]

Hey! I dont know If I misunderstood you or you made a tiny error at 4:30, but the camera app does allow you change exposure by tapping the sun icon next to focus box and slide up and down :) (on iPhone original cam app)

[Frenshprince]

The fact that you cannot shoot at 4k50/60 in HDR is a big no for me.
Especially when the native app can do it without any issue.
The manual exposure is useless as well, since the exposure still change during the capture (Not the developer fault, since Apple doesn't allow to disable the auto tone mapping).
After testing it for a few hours, I asked for a refund. The value for the cost was not here.

Great video! I record theme park rides including Disney & Universal and I’m and learning to record in 4k and currently figuring out how to get the best low light with great lighting when filming some dark indoor rides compared to how people use regular cameras in 4k 24-60 fps quality. For the lighting, I’ve learned how to use exposure lighting and the highest on my iPhone is +2.0 for the 2 Disneyland rides - Pirates and Finding Nemo ride!
Would the Filmic Pro be worth it for indoor low light settings like theme park rides in 4k? What would be the best settings in this app to record with all the things I mentioned? I currently use my iPhone 12 Pro for my videos but I’m planning to upgrade to the 14 Pro Max this month when it comes out!!
