Exciting news for aspiring video creators! I've created a free ebook, '5 Steps to Becoming a Pro Video Creator', to help you turn your video passion into a career. It's packed with practical tips and is totally free! Grab your copy here: geni.us/ZzWaZk and start your creative journey today!
Little update: Blackmagic updated the BM Camera app and my problems with Apple LOG in HEVC are solved. So you can easily record LOG in HEVC now and even in 60P without needing an external SSD. 😮
Looking forward to mine, ordered it just recently and upgrading from the 13 pro max 1tb 50 the 15 pro max 1tb. Great video Pascal and thank you for the info on the Black Magic App I will be getting it downloaded asap. I would love to pick your brains on getting the settings dialed in as well as some color grading tips, I’ve never shot in a log format before!
Can you share some downloadable sample links from the original prores files? Those who do this professionally may need this to examine it closely and to see the flexibility in color arrangements.
Tony Northrup tested this, resolution wise, the 15 Pro resolves around the same detail as an 8-10 megapixel camera (i.e. less then the 12 megapixel A7S III once you remove the artificial sharpening). As for the lenses, you are getting 13mm f/10, 24mm f/6.3 and 77mm f/24 (120mm f/21 on the Max) fixed aperture equivalents to full frame. This is somewhat academic but I found it quite fascinating: despite the sensors and technologies seeming like they couldn't be more different on paper, in practice, you can apply the same crop factor calculations. You get an image uncannily similar to taking an image on an A7RV at 35mm F/21 and then cropping 70% of the image out to match what the iPhone's 15 Pro Max tele lens does. 70% because the crop factor here is roughly 3.54x. Similarly if you take an image on the wide lens on the iPhone at iso450, it should equal 24mm f/6.4 at ISO3200 on FF - ISO formula is ISO*(CropFactor*2) - and wow, it does! - same exposure, same field of view, same depth of field, similar detail (if you resize the FF image down to around 8 megapixels and upsample to match the same image size), though iPhone has more aggressive noise reduction out of the box (try it if you get a chance!). So there's no inherit advantage in DOF, or resolution or low light performance or anything else. But knowing this, if I do want a lot of DOF I set my 24mm on the ZV-E1 to around f/6 (or 16mm at f/4 on APS-C). A full frame 12 megapixels still resolves more detail than 48 on the iPhone (both in photo and video), but there are more situation now where you can use the iPhone.
PSA - the BMD app also allows you to record directly to an SSD. Go to settings > scroll down ‘Save Clips To’ > Change to Files (Files app) > Browse to your SSD and select > Done
The big thing that the BMD Camera App does is also generate a proxy file. Saves work and reduces and streamlines my workflow. Love the App and it also runs on an iPad. I am also able to do synced Multi-Cam using multiple iPhones/iPad with the App. Just amazing what these new iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max can do. They are game changers.
The landscape shots look really beautiful. But something seems wrong with the frame rate. Or it's my monitor. The panning shots and talking head shots or movements seem a little bit smeared somehow.
Thanks Pascal. Really well done. Very informative. I had purchased a 1TB iPhone 14 Pro Max a couple of months ago. And it's a great phone too with great cameras. But my ISP is starting a new mobile service and for their customers to sign up for that they offered a $500 discount on any new iPhone. And it didn't require a long contract but only month to month with the phones unlocked after 60 days. So that was too good of a deal to pass up and I bought a 512GB iPhone 15 Pro Max for $899. I'm intersted in shooting in Apple ProRes log, but also just being able to record to an external SSD or get any videos off the phone quickly with the USB-C port is great. It took me 3 1/2 minutes to transfer a 6GB video off the iPhone 14 Pro Max. But transferring the same video off the iPhone 15 Pro Max took 19 seconds. :)
@@contagiousintelligence5007 I transferred the same 6GB file to a 2TB M1 Mac Mini. Off the 14 Pro Max via the lightning port it took 3 1/2 minute. Off the 15 Pro Max via the USB-C port with a better cable than is included with the phone it took. 19 seconds. You can do the math to figure how much longer bigger files would take.
Advice from a IT guy: 4TB of SSD, Gen 4 PCI is around 300$CA, so 220$US. With a 30$ case, it's more or less 2x cheaper than a crappy Samsung T7. You can have 2TB SSD for 99$CA, even. It's probably faster, more realiable, you can always change it when it breaks (which it will because of read/write operations). And even crappy 30$ cases have heat dissipation. Stick that to a cage, boom. Light, fast, reliable and cheap storage for the 2TB/h log footage.
Subscribed ! Question(s). Can a 1tb iPhone 15 bypass the need to film with an SSD on the camera body and just off load the 1TB to the SSD when it’s full? And then you’d just need a 1tb iPhone and an attachment for an ND filter and use Blackmagic and internal LUT? If so I’m getting one today!
Quality of the footage looks very good. Thank you for the video. I have a question. As I understand iPhone still uses variable frame rate VRF. Did you convert the footage to constant frame rate before editing?
Dumb question- hoping someone can help me out here. I see there’s selectable shutter speed on BM app. If I’m shooting 24fps, shouldn’t the shutter speed be 1/48th? I saw you go up to 1/8000 for a better exposure of daylight but wouldn’t that mess up the footage? I’m guessing ND filters come into play here. How does it work on the normal stock camera?
Can Davinci Resolve handle Apple LOG shot at 4k/60 or do I need the Studio version? I read somewhere that Resolve cannot handle 10-bit footage which Apple LOG is.
Can you record log on the Blackmagic App if you don't have an Pro iPhone? I want to get the iPhone 15 Plus for battery life, but want to be able to shoot in Log/ProRes as well
Great video Pascal and thanks for showing us the potential of log footage on the iphone 15 Pro. I wanted to try it myself and wanted to use your "color grade" tip in Davinci, but unfortunately I don't have the option "insert color space" although I have the Studio version. Where do I find that option to easily convert the log footage as you mentioned at the end?
@@pascalbasel thanks a lot for your reply. That Color grade video is also amazing and helped me out. Thanks again! Will try that also with Q3 log footage 😊
The footage looks really good. Have you used any lens/filter attachments to record it? Which of iPhone lens did you use to record the talking head shots. The DoF is pretty shallow for a phone camera..
If apple would just add the ability to lock the shutter to 180°, I would actually use the stock app. It doesn’t matter if they add all these formats and such to the camera if their stock app doesn’t give you full control haha I have no problem with auto settings for everything else, I just need the shutter and I guess the white balance too, to be selectable.
@@BenEricson if you’re shooting pro video, you’re gonna invest in things like NDs, other lenses, grips, all sorts of shit. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t include the feature. Options. Options are always good. Which is why we use 3rd party camera apps haha that’s why, with every “shot on iPhone” video apple releases, non of them were shot using the stock camera app, specifically because you can’t lock the shutter speed
Your footage looks nice! Can I ask, with the Blackmagic Design camera app, do you still have to record to an external drive to get 60P log? Or will using a lower bitrate codec like ProRes LT allow you to record it internally?
@@pascalbasel we can record 3x cinematic in 15 pro using the 3x telephoto lens but in 15 pro max we can record 3x cinematic but in that case the main lens will be used because it doesn't have 3x telephoto and their is no 5x option in cinematic mode !! I visited the store and checked everything!! So overall the 3X cinematic mode on iphone 15 pro will be better than 15 pro max. In easy words 15 pro max digitally zooms to 3x in cinematic mode whereas 15 pro optically zooms to 3x in cinematic mode !!
what a very informative video and the clips/shots are fantastically filmed/colour graded! phone cameras have come a long way haven’t they? u made justice to the potential of this “new” feature. keep up the great work!
@@pascalbasel thank you for the reply. I am waiting for my 15 pro Max. Hearing a lot of news about over heating. I waited 3 years to upgrade and this news is making me tensed. .
Like with every camera release nowadays... They're all so good that overheating in situations that don't apply to most users is the only thing to complain about.
Love the footage! Amazing! Question(s) I am confused regarding the codecs... (I have the 14 pro, getting the 15 pro soon...), 1-When the Iphone shoots cinematic mode: is that HDR Dolby as of default ? or it depends if we turn HDR off or ON in the settings menu options... 2- the regular "video" mode of the camera: is by default HDR Dolby (or it depends as well of the settings we choose:on or off...), and finally 3- ProRess and Log: these codecs are not HDR Dolby correct? or are they? Hope is not too confusing. I honestly was given different answers even by the Apple ppl... 🤔 So I'd love to get some clarity on this! Thanks again! cheers! ;)
can't believe that footage was from a phone.. My question is.. I just use as my A CAM in my studio, the Zve10.. but just use for studio when i do videos.. can this phone replace the zve10 if i dont care about the bokeh ? i am using now the zve10 with the kit lens. that LOG footage looks amazing and incredible..
@@pascalbasel in my studio I have good lights and ilumination.. And don't want to expend more money in lenses.. too much money So, is possible to get a nice footage with main sensor in the studio in 4k24 Apple pro res LOG? will be nice if you do a test..

I didn’t even care about any of the other features and upgraded solely based on USB-C 😂
Long overdue upgrade definitely
Are you experiencing overheating? I need some feedback!
It definitely gets hot hot when charging …especially when I use a 100W cable… I should try it with a slower usb c maybe
@@Guttz_ShoTitthe phone handshakes with your wall adapter and does not charge with the full 100 watts.
@@Guttz_ShoTit That batteries get hot when you fast charge them is normal. Nothing to worry about.

Looks like phone footage to me but it looks pretty solid. Will be better when you need to cut in a few iPhone clips. The SSD update is huge.

Log and Blackmagic app would be a sick combo
Just watched this whole vid in 720p 😂
Did you use iPhone 15pro max or iPhone 15 pro?
How can you record to an external drive?
Footage looks fantastic!
Still can't believe how good it is
Quality of the footage looks very good. Thank you for the video. I have a question. As I understand iPhone still uses variable frame rate VRF. Did you convert the footage to constant frame rate before editing?
I didn’t convert anything. I assume it’s constant frame rate as it’s ProRes.
Hey Pascal why didnt you purchase the 15 pro max ? Im confused on what to choose. Can you help me?
It’s too big
very nice!

Yo, love it to the iPhone 15 Pro Max is so amazing
Is there a big difference between pro and pro max?
did you use the native camera app for the timelapse? if not which one did you use?
Yes that was the native one. But just because I didn’t know the timelapse function of the BM Cam app. I‘d use and recommend that now.
@@pascalbasel thank you for the response. I love your work. Thank you for sharing.
Bye bye lightning cord 👋
some said this log is 8bit，but the color look like 10bit 🤔️🤔️🤔️
That‘s wrong. ProRes is 10bit 422 and so is ProRes LOG.
@@pascalbasel i see，thanks ，thats great😃👍🏻
Very nice footage. Can't wait to get some to play with in Resolve.

You need to activate Resolve Color Management’s first. I explain that in my How to color grade LOG in Resolve video.
@@pascalbasel thanks a lot for your reply. That Color grade video is also amazing and helped me out. Thanks again! Will try that also with Q3 log footage 😊
Welcome to Thailand.
in Davinci CST , you use ACES(AP0) or (AP1) ? thank you
I don't use CSTs and ACES, I use Resolve Color Management
Do you think we’ll have Log on cinema mode next year? That would make me wait for the next heheh
I don't know, but it would be nice.
looks too over-sharped
The footage looks really good. Have you used any lens/filter attachments to record it? Which of iPhone lens did you use to record the talking head shots. The DoF is pretty shallow for a phone camera..
Thanks, I didn’t use any filters. For the talking head, I used the 1x lens. This and the 3x lens have decent blur as long as the subject is close.
Have you tested an innovation never seen on iphone the type-C which was introduced in 2014?
amazing
