Exploring ProRes Log on the iPhone 15 Pro Max: Native Camera vs Black Magic Camera App
Are you eager to shoot in Apple ProRes Log but unsure which app/ProRes option to choose? 📸 Whether it's the Native Camera with 10-bit HDR or the hefty 4K ProRes Log 422 HQ or the powerful Black Magic Camera, we've got you covered!
In this vlog, I dive deep into the world of ProRes Log, starting with a comparison between 1080p Apple ProRes Log and 4K Apple ProRes Log. Then, I put the Black Magic Camera app to the test, exploring all its ProRes HDR options side by side: 422 HQ vs 422 vs 422 LT vs 422 Proxy vs H265 vs H264.
Key Highlights:
- Filmed mostly handheld on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, with just an SSD for extra storage.
- Used default color correction from Final Cut Pro for a straightforward approach (luma fusion is actually way more complex to color correct).
- Minimal gear and settings to emulate a simple point-and-shoot experience (no NDs, no tripods or gimbals) .
Which ProRes Log to chose for your shoots?
Depends on the shoot but as a rule for me ProRes Log is fantastic for events or scenic shots where you plan to invest time in color grading. Otherwise, its large file size and complexity might not be worth your hassle.
