A subscription model for for phone cameras was always going to be a stretch at current phone technologies.

Even if they went back to just a paid version that allows complete ownership as opposed to paying ransom every month or year, they would still be better off. But it's too late for that. There's a free version out now, that gives not just ownership but is actually free, and is every bit as good and only going to get better.

Hey Zdenka, Yep - another great video with a great pace (maybe a little fast on this one as you had an enormous amount of material to cover) So well scripted, filmed, and edited. I downloaded the Blackmagic camera app and followed along with you during your presentation. I have had Filmic for years but will now switch as I find the Blackmagic user interface so much easier for me. It's nice to have choices. Today I received my Hohem M6 gimble and have retired my other two(based on your earlier review) received my new iPhone 15 Pro Max yesterday and need to stop watching your great review while I am still solvent. With all this new gear and software I will be busy learning the intricacies for a good while. Thanks for your hard work. I should mention that I also love your accent and could listen to you read cookbooks.

So if you find it as well, just give them a few weeks they need to catch up as that phone just came out. I’m quite sure they will bring new firmware updates very soon. Enjoy your new gear and thank you so much again for your support

Great review, thanks! It doesn’t do everything, but it does seem to be a great tool for some cases. The killer feature for those quick “grab shots“ on the go to me is that you can lock it to horizontal mode video. Accidental vertical video in a horizontal production seems to happen often enough to be a problem.

Even for a V.1 it's impressive. I wish there were separate reticles for focus and exposure. The ability to save presets would be nice too along with gimbal compatibility. I do love the BM Cloud link. My workflow is to shoot while traveling (Vlog Motocamping in Vietnam), make selects at night, then auto push to BM cloud while I sleep. Then when I get home, the footage is already safely backed up and in a DaVinci Resolve project I set up prior to leaving and ready to edit. This is my primary app now. FilmicPro has been deleted to force me to get nimble with. all features and settings.

Ahoj! I just tried it on an older 4th gen iPad pro, and it really surprised me. Using this app in combination with the *free* Davinci Resolve video editing app just made my iPad in to my new portable recording setup. On a newer iPhone or iPad, one could capture in ProRes RAW to an internal or external SSD really taking it to the next level. My opinion is that even of Filmic Pro had not gone to a subscription model, BlackMagic Design has a reputation of being not just a solid company, but one that releases a lot of updates on a regular basis and always comes out with something exciting. They'll eventually catch-up and pass Filmic in features and performance just like they did with Adobe's Premiere Pro and Final Cut NLEs.

Filmic Pro Remote control is the main feature I use that Blackmagic doesn't have. As I need to record myself, I use an iPad as a monitor and remote control. It saves A LOT of time to be able to control everything and see myself in a big screen. Also, there is no option in Blackmagic to choose from Global Tone Mapping or Local Tone Mapping. It is (I guess) by default at local tone mapping (which is what the native camera app uses). I prefer to use global tone mapping as it gives a look closer to what I want most part of the times, not overprocessing darker or brighter areas.

A game changer would be a camera that you can mount your phone to with a USB-C connection that allows the phone to act as the screen and UI for the camera. A compact, medium range zoom camera with a housing to fit smart phones straight onto the USB-C port. The phone could act as the brain and the hardware could house all of the camera components

You are very welcome

When recording something and switching cameras during the recording on my iPhone 13 Pro, I've noticed that the Front camera footage is right-side up but the rear camera footage is upside down. But, it appears right-side up in the app while filming. 🤷🏻

Hello back…. From Ontario

I purchased Filmic Pro a while ago (before subscription) and still like the app but will only use the Legacy version. I don’t use it enough to justify paying a subscription fee. I did install the Blackmagic Camera app and also use Davinci Resolve for editing but don’t plan on using Bm cloud. I also agree that it’s highly BM will be adding features in the future as users provide feedback…

Totally agree. I enjoy legacy and for my needs it's good. Feature set in Filmic is great though Blackmagic interate well

Legacy app doesn’t work anymore or at least for me it doesn’t. Blackmagic for the win.

$50 a year for a powerhouse camera app like filmic pro is not a deal breaker for me. I will be playing with this new option from black magic. Perhaps when I become more familiar with it I will be open to using the free option exclusively. Right now efficiency is the key factor for me and filmic presents a much smoother workflow when you are in the field. The reticles are an amazing feature,HDR, and just the over all interface makes for a much more efficient work flow.

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and experience. For me it is also a Filmic Pro.

Great overview Zdenka! I did not see an option for image flipping for use with a Depth of Field adapter, like the Beastgrip DoF. That is what originally led me to Filmic Pro. I still like to use 35mm lenses to get true DoF for some shots or talking head / interviews.
