    Check out my Davinci Resolve 18.6 Update video here: • What's NEW in Davinci ...
    And the Blackmagic Live event here: • Blackmagic Design Update!
    So the Blackmagic Update happened! We got Davinci Resolve 18.6 (big surprise!), some new cameras including the Cinema Camera 6k, Blackmagic Cloud Storage and a Camera to Cloud workflow and... an iPhone app?! Huh. Nobody saw that coming!
    And while many people are pleased with a free camera app, while others are confused/annoyed. I believe it's part of a bigger picture, and exists for one quite specific reason... marketing!

    07:07 i didnt really mean when you get home 😅 While true, i was more thinking of a remote editor can start work, your office can start reviewing the footage... or when you jump onto your laptop, the project and footage is ready to go. That sort of thing. You get it. You understand my jargon by now 😆

    I film with an iPhone 12 mini. It’s definitely for guys like me who want more than the native camera app can handle. It’s comparable to beast cam and I use davinci studio for iPad already so I’m sure it will work seamlessly. Time will tell I’ve begun filming with it all throughout this past week I will put together a small project soon and see.

    The camera App just blows me away. It is much more than just a marketing ploy. It has some real serious potential to upset a bunch of video camera makers. Anyone with an iPhone can generate some serious video files with proxies directly to an external SSD. I did some initial tests with an iPhone SE and the results came out great. Waiting for my iPhone 15 Pro Max to drop on Friday. It is a game changer. Just thinK of having Resolve on the iPad Pro along with using your iPhone with this App. You are ready to create some video's. Great option for those on limited budget. Long Live Blackmagic for having the impact on the video market. Another game changer when we look back on it. Cannot poo pah it away!

    The app makes a lot of sense to me. If you like to shoot videos of traveling or generally in situations where pulling out your big camera is not an option, it is nice to have a free app that gives me full control of the phone's camera. I also know people doing VFX professionally, and some of them like to pull out their phones if they see a beautiful sunset or generally cool lighting to use as reference photos/videos, and they use camera apps like this. Of course, people doing VFX already know about Blackmagic, but with the app they will see the logo all the time.

    I think what you eluded too with the start of the Blackmagic pipeline for new potential users being the new app is a brilliant idea. Not only that, the app is 'very' good, fully functioning and pretty darn easy to use. I like that BM has a 'no barrier to entry' mentality that other companies don't have...also this was brilliant timing with Adobe raising their pricing. BM is becoming a well rounded company for everyone.
    If BM had a photo editing software on the level of Davinici (comparable to PS) my Adobe subscription would be gone in the blink of an eye.

    If people are using Filmic to shoot professional clips then the Blackmagic app makes a ton of sense. I have seen professionals using Filmic pro so I guess there might be a divide in who is “professional” and who is less professional. The same is holding true for all the iPhone camera apps that I have seen “professional” photographers using for work. I do agree great marketing by Blackmagic to say the least.

      Doing double developement on the first release/version of an app like this is usually *really* expensive compared to just developing for a single platform with less crazyness in terms of wildly different specs and hardware. once the initiall release and a couple of feature updates are out of the way it’s much easier to do the second platform/ecosystem in a more focused and time efficient manner. My guess is there will be an android app down the line once they’ve gotten things streamlined :)

A way to bring the iPhone into the Blackmagic Resolve ecosystem, which can be used for many things, as a A- or B-cam for vloggers and documentaries, as a way to lure into their DAW regular users interested in getting into video, for those shooting shorts or even features with their smartphones (which are a lot), for photo/video journalists, for larger projects it can be used for location spotting and rough drafts with aspect ratio/lens guidelines, and so on.

    I saw it as a marketing tool too, but I think it has pro uses too, or may have in the long run depending how it grows - we all know that BM have a habbit of adding great features as they go. That is how DR got to where it is. On the pro side, I can see it as a useful side tool for things like scouting locations, quick testing of light in positions - basically, anything where you want to know "will that work?" but don't want to be carrying a camera in addition to your phone, yet want something that is better than the standard phone app, something that is compatible with the rest of your work.

    I was easily able to set and lock the white balance. I did notice that the exposure setting would reset each time I'd stop and start recording.
    When recording in stereo, the sound image remains the same, unlike the built camera app that changes from stereo to mono when zooming the picture in and out.
    Now, all it needs is a manual override on the audio levels on the built mics...

    Yea, I was underwhelmed by the new BM camera as well. Not that it's not a good camera. But, since they present their cameras as "cinema" based, I think a box shaped body would be coming soon. Not that the current body design is a deal breaker. But, I think adding features and changing designs to meet "cinema camera" styles would be best. Sony realized this with their new cinema camera, Burano. The Burano, sitting between the FX9 and the Venice cameras, is a feature rich cinema camera. One that actually includes Sony's latest AI assisted autofocus.
    What's also interesting is that BM prices their cameras very competitively. Which tells me that they could create a box shaped, autofocus camera, and still bring it in at a competitive price. Hopefully, future cameras by Blackmagic will be more "cinema" like that people have actually expressed interest in.
    App-wise, I like the BM camera app. But, I need to see tutorials on it to see how I can get the best footage out of it.

But you clearly know your stuff here so why would you say they don't offer these features? What am I missing?

    • @MrAlexTech
      @MrAlexTech  Рік тому +1

      Yeah, I don't want to record via the app. My suggestion would be to allow the in-field proxy/cloud upload, with external footage. So via SD card or SSD. So you finish recording on literally any device (cinema cam, Mirrorless etc etc etc), plug SD card into your phone, phone creates proxies and uploads.
      That makes the app waaaay more useful for those that don't want to actually shoot the footage with their iphone.

I do a lot of projects that have mixed sources. I also have people who are volunteers filming in other places for me, and this will give them an app to download!
    I think the marketing angle is real, but I also think that the camera itself has lots of validity. Thanks for the video, hadn’t watched any videos about this because I thought it was just a camera control app for the pocket cinema cameras!

I'm on like my 6th video now, but I'm SO SLOW at editing that I feel like someone who puts things up rapidly would really be able to help. I'd love to pay for a couple of hours of your time if you're interested.

    I'm actually super interested in that small box camera, can't wait for reviews. I can see the point of the camera app too, kind of a shame Android doesn't get it also but I'm sure it's a lot easier to develop that kind of thing for the Iphone(s).

    I'm just starting rehearsals on a short film and this app couldn't have come at a better time. To be able to shoot a pre-visualisation/proof of concept before we lock down the shot list is a god send and the fact that it uploads proxies etc. into our black magic eco system is beyond helpful.

    Mr. Alex, I like your plugins, but I think you're wrong about this app--It's an incredible little tool for freelancers trying to get professional-looking behind-the-scenes captures, shots in tricky places (like underwater!), or even just as a b-cam for budget clients or when you're trying to keep gear light.

  • @wayoftruth8428

    I wouldn't call box style camera "professional". As a filmmaker I love the body design of the blackmagic cameras because of its ease of use, rather than needing 10 different accessories just to start shooting. It's why I stay away from them. This is why I love the blackmagic app. I hate using filmic pro but having my #1 camera OS on my phone to shoot whatever in blackmagic's log wherever I am and grade it so close to my BRAW footage is a much bigger deal than what alot of people give it credit for. When shooting weddings or special events I will gladly give my phone to my 2nd shooter to capture footage through that app.

    I want to love this app, it allows 4k prores to my phone when the native app does not and it has a log 422 LT which my phone's native camera does not. The Log looks amazing. However, the Zebras and Focus Peaking are buggy, they shut off when you press record. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and the same thing.

    Who is it for? Not for a real videographer. I downloaded it because it’s free and I’m playing with it and I can’t control the iris. So if you’re on bright sunlight, it cranks the shutter up to some ridiculous amount instead of simply closing the iris. I’m sure that has more to do with the iPhone than it does with the camera app. if I could upload my Sony a 7S3 footage… Now that would be cool. This is more for wussies!

    I don't really get people who swear by a box style camera and complain about things like this. i prefer photography style cameras, I shoot on Nikon z9 and z8 and love them. my opinion is you can always still build these cameras out to fit whatever needs you may have, but it's much easier to take out and capture without any accessories at all than it is with a box style camera.

  • @DaveKnowlesFilmmaker

    Alex I agree with you to a point but I do think you are overlooking how many professionals do use an iPhone for filming. It is commonly used for news and documentaries by TV companies and don’t forget that there has been the odd feature film shot on it. I think there has been a lot of thought put into this by BlackMagic as they realise with the new iPhone which has a lot of improvements this does what Apple seem not to want to do, have an app for filming with.
    I have worked in the film and television industry for more years that I like to remember and this whole “professional” thing with the iPhone reminds me of the days that they introduced 16mm film to television. All the people were saying that they would not work with this film bootlace size format as the standard film format was 35mm. They said 16mm was not a professional format and editors would not cut it as it was too small. Even with all the anti it did come and became the standard for television and I see the anti professional feeling towards the iPhone being very similar. The video it produces is amazing and although I do agree it does have it’s problems with things such as sharpness what it really did need was an app produced by a company that understood what professional filmmakers need and I think now with BlackMagic this will happen. I hope the app will develop in the way DaVinci has which is now becoming the editing programme to use by most people due to the constant development. It is still early days but if you go back not that long ago who would have believed that we would be using stills cameras to shoot TV programmes on. It’s call progress and I thing Grant Petty has just bought in again.

      Ha if I ever get into a board meeting, I'll let you guys know! I'm an android guy myself so i'd like to see it on Android as well. I guess its a simplicity thing. Apple being a closed ecosystem, they know the capabilities of each device etc so it's much easier to control, support and develop for etc.
      Android is a little more like the Wild West! But hopefully they do start bringing this stuff over.

    Honestly what I liked most was their 4k ant camera, I don't have an use for it currently but I think for the price it's a really neat piece of gear, love it.
    As for the camera app.. Yeah it's for everyone, unless you're in the 40%ish non iPhone user.. So it's for 60% of everyone i guess? (based on USA numbers btw, here in Europe it's the other way around with a 65% android users)
    So yeah anyway, I hope black magic makes us go WOW again next year cos it's kinda lackluster lately.. But then again since the release of big names like the r5, alpha one komodo, etc, the market has been pretty stale..
