I personally think the best way to do it is to use Color Management (or Color Space Transform nodes) in Davinci Resolve, guaranteed to start with a mathematically accurate image, can convert it into a working color profile like ACEScct or Davinci Wide Gamut, it's basically automatic, so it takes no time at all. Much better than using LUT's because there is no interpolation, and you can make decisions on tone and gamut mapping. You can then match different cameras really well, apply creative looks on top of a trustworthy image, and apply a more professional workflow to it (if you use it on a job or something).
After checking Phantom LUT's explanation about the LUT provided by Apple, I have to agree that the colour shifted, mostly blue and brown. I ended up using Leeming LUT.
this phone is insane! 🔥iPhone 15 Pro Max probably the best and the most powerful smartphone this year! Apple always did a very good job. that pushed me and my friends switching from Android to iOS
Unfortunately, the free version of Davinci Resolve does not appear to edit 10 bit H.265 videos, at least not in Windows, and it imports the audio only in my experience. You can save the H.265 file to Photos and edit it on the iphone 15 pro however.@@NOlimitsON 10 bit
I have read that using the Apple LUT adds back all the over sharpened look most are trying to avoid by shooting in LOG. Can you confirm that? Will color grading in iOS Photos app help avoid Apple’s over sharpened output too? Great video - thanks a million!
Hey man this is the best tutorial so far on shooting log with the new iphone 15 thanks so much for making this, I have one question, the apple conversion lut you have in the download, is that the official one from Apple they released, I saw it somewhere on the developer page but cant find it anywhere anymore or is that one you made?
So i dont need to shoot ProRes with external SSD all the time to get the LOG quality? I mean, i want better dynamic range, less digital sharpening and possibility to color grade fast for instagram and youtube.
Hello sir, Thank you very much for this great tutorial. I am learning how to use log recently with my iphone 15 pro max, and I love it. I am using it to make films. And by the way, I think that the built-in cinematic mode creates a much more realistic "cinematic feel" and I think it's because it can blur the backgrounds to focus on the subjects. I don't think there is a way to do this in prores (I don't think it's the point by the way). I was wondering if you had any idea how to reproduce that "background blurring" effect with final cut pro and have it look as good as the built-in cinematic mode ? Thank you very much and good look on your channel ! Cheers
I really like on phone color grading is there other apps can use in conjunction with photos app to give your footage more color grade options I think photos app way is easy and quick I think davinci resolve etc more time consuming more challenging to do
Hola, estuve viendo tu video y esta bastante bueno. Acutalmente tengo el 15 Pro 256 GB y quisiera saber si tienes alguna recopilacion de LUTS exclusivamente para apple log ?
Thanks!!! Do you have any other videos especially for beginners? I like the way you simplified a lot of the instruction and after watching many many videos, I’ve learned more from this one than any of the rest.
I filmed with the BMC app and the final cut cam and in the post pro using Resolve I found that Final cut cam footage is better and have more cinematic look !?
A really nice video, well explained....but when I change the settings of the iPhone itself, the blocking and the colors and all that...does it lower the quality of the picture?....because I have a OnePlus and when I change the settings, it lowers it significantly The quality of the image...if I had 6000X8000 then it drops it to...3072X4096 more or less...I'm glad for the answer and thank you very much.🙏
This and your other video on why you don’t take cameras with weee both brilliant. You’ve converted me, and I have a Sony A1. The only issue I do have is I shoot in Apple LOG and keep a HDR workflow and I’ve never found a LUT to convert to HLG to Upload to the black camera app. Any suggestions?
One of the best post (this one and the previous) regarding the LOG in the Iphone! Question: You mentioned the Iphone can shoot H-265 and Log at the same time...? is that correct...? Also: is there a dehancer for Iphone & Ipad...? if so: does it have the same features and assume is a bit cheaper ? or same price? Thanks! cheers!
Hey! Thank you so much! Yes, you can shoot in h.256 and LOG at the same time (that’s what I did for the most part in this video). Yes, there is Dehancer for iOS - here is my review of it - ua-cam.com/video/05SMsAH1lwM/v-deo.htmlsi=grtHxHtVNGhx8T5v
very detailed video, thank you! I was wondering if you still need a 256gb iphone 15 pro to record in 4k 30fps without external ssd with bm app, or will it work on 128gb if i use the blackmagic app.
you can record in ProRes 30fps on any iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max, there is only one restriction in the native app, which is to record 60fps, you have to use an external ssd, that is the only limitation. BM Camera has no restrictions whatsoever. You never need an external SSD to record ProRes
really really helpful! Could you please activat the option to save it in my favorite lists, so I do not loose it . I subscribed of course, but after a short time it is hard to remember where this helpful guy was ;-) How do you transfer the videos with a cable instead of airdrop? I don´t get it. I am always landing in the iphone ecosystem in finder and cannot find the clips
Hi! Thanks) I just plug in the SSD to iPhone and Crete a new folder and transfer all the files there. Or you can do it straight from iPhone to computer - it’s pretty simple 😉
Nicely explained in video about log i want to ask is there any app we can edit log video in iphone like capcut or something like currently i don't have desktop :)
Do you know if it is possible to film directly in the native camera app on the 128GB iPhone 15 Pro with an external SD card attached? Or is that also blocked? Not sure if the 256GB is in my budget :(
Nice video I like how the end result looks, LOG rocks and yeah at least there is no limitation for the storage, so LOG is there also on the 128 GB version? But of course you need an external SSD or something..
hi.. thanks for your educational videonregarding prores. im unable to find prores 4444 in my i phone 15 max pro with ttb external ssd t 7 . how can i find this codec mode. i want to do a movie demo project in 4444 codec in blackmagic app .i tried in many ways but im unable to find this but does 422 hq.i appreciate if you can guide me for this
So I’m looking at potentially upgrading my phone.. is the overall ‘video quality’ on the standard camera app far better than say the 13 pro max? I’m interested to know as I make UA-cam videos with my 13 pro max.
May i have question please? Do we need a SSD or we can use another one like SD? Coz when i take a record use SD, the video result is lagging or broken. Is it because i dont use SSD?
Hi, I have a question. How can import Apple Log h.265 files in Davinci? I have a sound but, no video itself in the timeline. And I have the appropriate codec for h.265, but it still doesn't seem to work with Apple Log?
I have to have a yandex account in order to download the footage, but when sign up, it always gave me error. Can you upload the footage to google drive or dropbox? Thanks
When i film a video on my iPhone 15 Pro in LOG and i want to transfer it with usb cable to my Macbook with the Photos App it takes years.. Is there any solution??
how come whenever i turn up my contrast all the way up after filming in apple pro res log , it makes it look black & white is something wrong with my camera>?
Hi thanks for the video! I cant download your footage from the platform in your link. It is in russian and also there is some problem when I want to download)
My SSD was formatted for MacOS extended journaled - works great. Also I used and SD card formatted in ExFAT with a usb-c card reader - also works flawlessly
i got the 15pro 128gb and it doesn't let me shoot in 4k ProRes on the apple camera app (obviously i'm fine in the blackmagic app, can shoot pro 4k there) - but you're able to film in 4k ProRes on the app without an external hard drive, correct? Do you have the 256gb version?
Does anyone know the difference in the first three LUTs on his download link. Seemed like they are named “alister “ then version 1,2,3. No clue the difference tho?
Warning:make sure turning on the log in the settings while hdr switched on at the same time, or you will get 8bit log wrapped in a so called apple log which is not a true log ,giving you terrible results when you color grading on the computer
@@MrVh78yes but u can’t get a real 10bit log when you set hdr off in your settings (not on the interface of the cameras liveview ) until you turn the hdr on in the system setting to toggle the hdr on, which will give you true 10bit log, you can view it in davinci resolve
@@vebrucevebruce369interesting. Though it shows a proper 10 bit file when i bring it into FCP and it feels like a 10 bit file since i color only 12/10 bit footage. Are you sure it’s only a 10 bit container?
@@hemantverma9899 I second this question. My test footage in Apple Log with HDR off shows 10bit and it looks great. Curious to see a source where Apple Log with HDR turned off is just an 8bit log. Not doubting you, just never heard this out of all the dozens of Apple Log tutorials I've seen.
FYI unfortunately (I guess) you really don’t want to use apples excellent adjust tools in the camera app for grading. Why? Because you can’t export to HEVC from there anyway so you’re gonna have to drop those files into an editor anyway. And when you do, import times will be DRAMATIC due to the edits you did to the color. You’re better off grading in your editing app. On device CapCut is more stable, faster import and export and has more features than LumaFusion. Only problem is it’s garbage to do actual cutting in, compared. And it doesn’t have LUTs on mobile which is annoying. Pros outweighs the cons tho imo. Speed is key.
