Please make an updated version of this video, filmic pro is now a crazy subscription model!!!!

Great comparison, thanks. Just got the Beastcam App and the interface is really great and the Settings stay, love this much better as FilmicPro.

Thanks for the great info. Subscribed and looking forward to your other videos. One additional thing I was hoping to see in your comparison was information about HDR capture. There is some variance among those apps. For example Filmic Pro only seems to support HDR at 4K up to 30FPS while others like ProCam 8 support HDR at 4K up to 60FPS.

Abject beginner here. Found your channel. It is packed with helpful, supportive content. This video answered questions I didnt know I had. Thank you so much. I've got a long journey.

Which do you prefer?

Your advice has always been solid brother✌🏽

I’d love to see a behind the scenes for how you make and edit this one. I love the transitions from close up just you and phone to green screen you in front of the app interface. I’ve tried (poorly) to do some of the same with my science videos for my students. Are you filming in front of just a green screen (I think it looks like that) or are you using your normal garage teal wood background and keying that out? I’ve love to see a behind the scenes video of this videos, and others.

Thank you Stewart..... I learned alot from this comparison. My biggest issue is locking in confirming proper exposure settings for ND filter use followed by making sure I have that focus ring with having the ability to lock it in for switching to manual. I'm going to keep an eye on Filmic Pro & Beastcam to get this full functionality. Thanks again for this valuable information! 👍😊

Awesome content mate ! Now I have one question… how do you export the content after the videos form my iPhone is done?? So I can edit it a bit by putting thumbnails ect ect…? Cheers

Man this is such an insightful video. Love your style. 👏🏻👏🏻

Excellent video, thanks a lot for the detailed info. Any app which I can use for my front camera with the blurred background?

Nice video. Did Filmic Pro Fix the problem with locked settings? Thank you

Super comparison & insights. Thank You

Will the MoviePro app work with the DJI OM4 gimbal? Great tutorial!!

Thanks! great video. loved the comparison. Regarding filmic Pro... I think we can probably approach them with some recommendations for future enhancements. I think some quick wins exist that they can do easily.

Filmic pro is still my go to but also love Protake. Will try beast cam next.

It's a pretty good, informative, truthful comparison. Thank you so much!

Great video thank you. Is it true that when you transfer video footage from filmic pro to your photo album, you lose quality?

Mavis seems to be the most polished in the way of feeling like a cinema camera, thought the menus are certainly clunky. It sure does have great frame/bitrate options and exposure tools.

Hey Stewart, amazing video, have you encountered fps issues with beastcam? Also, I'm needing to choose one app to purchase for some serious filming and beastcam ticks all the boxes. I never tried Filmic pro but I feel I would value locking settings and level in the ui, which Filmic pro seems to fail at. Lastly I'm on the fence regarding the log curve features in Filmic pro, that I would miss in Beastcam. Please note i'd like to do some minimal coloring in Resolve in order to loose the video look and gain the less contrasty filmic look. Pls let me know, thanks! Luca

Shoot in 10 bit

Great Review (esp the focus on PAL!). Is there any app that will (currently) do the combination of: Constant Frame Rate (a must), UHD, 50fps, 10 Bit? I've purchased a half dozen or so and they are all missing one of these key features (trying to get footage that will grade well with my Sony FX6).

Great comparison, thank you 🙏🏻

Awesome! But how can I use filmic pro’s settings in other apps like TikTok? Thanks!

Thanks a lot for those reviews, it helps a lot! However, I find myself using Mavis and Filmic Pro, and Mavis even more than Filmic Pro. But this is just personal preference, I am just used to it. Let me just point out that Mavis is the only one of those apps that has timecode syncing support with Ultrasync Blue. Occasionally I set up my audio recorder with some mics and while recording with the iPhone, video and audio are recorded in sync. Sure, this is a special setup, but worth a mention. I guess I will try another app based on your review, so thanks a lot.

Thoughts on the new subscription model for Filmic? It also appears Movie Pro is still the only alternative for an app with remote control. That's the deal breaker for me.

These are all so close. Love the A-B focus on the MoviePro but also of course need a solid constant framerate. Have you seen updates to any of these to make the perfect app in the 7 months since this was shot?

Thx great comparison

Hey! Great comp video, and handy chart as well! One thing I noticed as a chart omission: no comparison of which apps allow for "vertical shooting" - or the ability of the interface to flip vertically if shooting for IG/FB stories or Reels/IG-TV? I know that Filmic Pro does ( you demo that in this video). Also, do you know if any of these apps allow overlays while shooting vertically? such as 4:3 and such? Thanks for all the time spent on this info either way!

With the growth and demand for IG-TV, Reels, and TikTok (etc) - vertical video seems to be becoming more and more important.

Just so everybody knows, Filmic Pro 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.

Is it possible to use Mavis utilizing a video recorded prior to downloading the app. Or does it function only when recording something directly from the app itself?

Always good reviews ! Than you

Hey Stewart, I’m looking for the best app to film the screen of a crt without my vid showing roll & flicker. So I need something that does 50 & 60fps very well, as I will be filming off both 50 & 60hz screens, it also needs to be able to adjust shutter speed to match those hz rates. Any suggestions on which one to choose? Thanks

Thanks for a very useful video. In the light of the move by Filmic to subscriptions, it would be most useful to have an update of your review.

thanks good video i subbed

I've been using Mavis for a few years now. One of the features it has that others don't, like FiLMiC and BeastCam, is that you can lock your shutter and leave the ISO on auto. I find this great for when I'm out with the kids at the park or doing something like a vlog. I can set my shutter and then let the ISO bounce around if I happen to walk into a shadow for a moment.

I have issues locking the shutter that I want. If I move the shutter to lets say 1/50 it will move me to either 30 or 40 automatically, even though I'm in M. Or even trying to lock in 1/48 it won't let me. If that part was fully manual without the app moving iso and shutter together then I would love this app more.

One major flaw you missed here. The Mavis app is the only one out of all of them that you can Bluetooth timecode with the UltraSync Blue. Wish that wasn’t the case but it seems to be in January 2022. That’s why I purchased the Mavis app so I can be synced to the Blue with my Zoom F6 audio recorder and other Bluetooth timecode devices. It’s a big deal if you happen to be a musician or plan on using it in multi cam setups.

Hey! It's a reference the blurry background, shallow depth of field look that's typically very hard to achieve with a smartphone. For a while now it's been possible to artificially simulate the blurry background in smartphone photography but it's a relatively new development in video modes. It's not perfect yet but as and when it gets better smartphones will continue to erode the reasons for many to pay up for a traditional camera.

Not fair to ProCam 8, the controls are in the letter M = manual control, it has all the things that promovie don’t. It’s just a piece of cake to use. Not the best camera app, but definitely better than ProMovie in every corner, except the in-app purchases, which is a big con.

I’m wondering the same. I enjoyed your video but with no ‘final product’ comparison, I feel like you left the most important piece out!! I understand functionality, ease of use and value but I’d also argue that once used to ANY app, ease of use and value are out the window. And the reason one becomes so familiar is because it includes or is available in post to rectify functionality. Just my $.02 but Mavis with a 19? Ouch, and as you so often mention, it’s the One app that shows the shooter everything at a glance. From ISO - shutter, frame rates to resolution to audio levels, even scopes! All there at a glance. Don’t get me wrong - Filmic Pro’s an excellent app and one of the most used in my arsenal as well but I lean on Mavis and have taken to ProTake as well …which kind of confused me when you wrap up you mentioned that ProMovie may be a good choice for the beginner, and nothing about ProTake - which you seemingly enjoyed per your review. Yet ProMovie didn’t seem as well received during your intro of the app(s) …sorry Bill, didn’t mean to write a novel here but TL/DR I agree with Bill - maybe when you do 2022, add to your reviews the ‘video quality’ as one of your comparisons. Maybe audio capture as well, as we all know how important audio is to video. Video quality and Audio quality please?!? You’re awesome!!

You can lock the orientation on filmic pro..... Kinda stupid it doesn't do A/B focus racks though.

Does anyone know if any of these apps let you fix the ISO and leave the shutter speed on auto?

I use filmic pro cause it have all i need, working great with my smooth 4 gimbal and anamorphic lens even if this app can a bit frustrating sometimes. Protake seems to be good but i will not subscribe to an annual plan...

Great video however there is nothing here that inspires me to part with my money. I have an old but still (only just) support iphone. Filmic Pro says the app will work but with reduced functionality. My requests for specific "reduced functionality" have fallen on deaf ears. So, I think I will stick with what works: the app that comes with IOS.

What about an Android?

Wich app is free?

How about picture quality? I found Mavis the best using iPhone 13 Pro Max in low light conditions. All the other apps were awful with a lot of digital noise and artifacts. Android has the advantage now by the way, the app mcpro24fps completely eliminated oversharpening, introduced some really useful log modes like HLG, raised the bitrate up to 500 MBytes per sec (as a matter of fact it is a little bit of a cheating, because if the system has reached its maximum, it won't go further, but, fortunately, the app indicates it by turning the bitrate icon to red). But, still, you can make 6K video with 240 Mbytes per sec using a Xiaomi Mi10T Pro, which is around 250 USD used. Oh, and last but not least: Motion Cam wiped the floor with Apple Prores, because it can shoot RAW DNG video. And IT WORKS. So Android is the winner now, but I have to admit, I have NEVER EVER shot footage which looked like completely identical to what I have seen with my own eyes until I tried the iPhone 13 series, and I have used GH5, Sony A7III etc. iPhone rocks 13. Still blows my mind. And you can buy the cheapest, It will be as good as the most advanced Pro Max. I tried 13 Pro Max, 13 and Mini. I even find the regular 13 main sensor less noisy.
