I'm brand new to iPhone photography and I just downloaded the filmic pro app. You lost me at pull focusing and it's the coolest feature I saw but I didn't quite get the gist of it. If you make a short video explaining that focus part and the options I would love to see it. Thanks.
Ahsan Saeed hard press the exposure to lock it in. The ISO/shutter wheel should pop up on the left. Tapping ISO or shutter will lock it or you can make them reciprocal. Some extreme low and bright light scenarios you won't be Be able to find an ideal combo. That's when you need an ND filter, especially in bright lighting. That way, you can keep a low shutter speed and a better ISO setting.
Hi Nathan, thank you for this tutorial video. Do i supposed to hear back ground sound when recording video with FilMic Pro? I recorded my dog, she was barking but when i played, no sound at all. Please advise.
Great job on the video! One question... I could not get the Focus symbol the half circle to come out like yours did when you locked in your Focus. Isthat important?
The sound on this video is.. uh... how should I say this? LESS than optimal would describe it, I guess. The narration is soft, soft, soft- and the music soundtrack serves only to further mask the narration. MUSIC is used to set MOOD. It has no place or use in a tutorial! What does it do? Makes us feel blue, lonely, friendly, excited? None of that is appropriate in a tutorial! Give your viewers a break and ditch the music, then work on creating a PRISTINE soundtrack. You would do everyone a BIG favor by doing that. You might even increase your views! It's a valuable tutorial, lots of good information, it's just difficult to figure it all out!
I’ve found that when I use this app it causes some audio noise. I’ve read that on the net also. Anyone else experience and/or have any luck fixing that audio noise?
Even before you get to audio, look at your recording level meters at the bottom of the screen. The idea is to get the level up, without distortion, and THEN, if you're going to clutter the sound with mindless music, keep it lower than the vocal. Especially if it is for a tutorial on how to do something. Best bet is to leave the music out completely.
Great! Thanks! Very useful! My next question would be: how do i get best slow-mo-videos? in question of framerate. :) i would really be very greatful again! :)
Hi Nathan, thank you for this review! Have you encountered external audio synch issues while recording video with FilMic Pro? I'm using the Olympus LS-100 and recorded audio at 48khz/16bit(video was 16:9 extreme 60fps using Moondog anamorphic lens video only setting). When I loaded the video and audio on to iMovie the audio was constantly coming out of synch. I would adjust and a few minutes later it was off again. Any suggestions? Thank you
I’ve not had any issues... but is your audio track a separate item from the video in iMovie? I’m guessing the answer is yes. When editing separate audio tracks from video, iMovie moves the audio track around inexplicably and that may be the issue. A fix is to export the synced audio and video and then edit the combined footage. Extra step, but works.
How exactly does one make a tutorial video of any sort where the background music will blow out your speakers if it's turned loud enough to hear you narrate...?
Great video Nathan! Every tutorial I've seen says to lock focus and lock AE before shooting. I understand this can be useful for stationary subjects or panning across where there stark contrast between foreground and background. But what about filming moving subject or walking video ? Would locking AE/AF still be used here ? Can't imagine you would have accurate focus or exposuren if the scene is moving ?
+li21 you're correct. I only lock AE/AF when the camera is locked down, in hand or in a tripod. I tend to lock AE more than focus though. Every person or major object that enters the frame will change exposure and focus so it'd be really tough to keep a high quality shot with the movement.
Nathan Hamilton thanks Nathan! So when. I'm using my gimbal I would not lock down the AE and AF and let the camera keep evaluating the scene as I move ?

Good video but the audio sounds kind of soft, and the dialog tends to be masked somewhat by the background music. Tutorials don't need musical backgrounds. Music is use to set a mood in dramatic productions. A tutorial is not a dramatic production, it's a learning device. Right at the very end, the audio comes up to an acceptable level, but that level should have been used through the entire production.
What are your favorite smartphone video apps?
Best tutorial I've watched so far on Filmic Pro. Thanks!
Yoda has that sort of power... glad you enjoyed it!

Just purchased the app my iPhone X - that and a Sandmarc wide angle lens. Stoked to shoot some video this weekend!
do u have a settings guide for taking video in a low light condition like a concert?
This was very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
How can i lock shutter speed as well ISO because when i lock shutter speed ISO setting goes up and down resulting in noisy video

i think you can lock one or the other but not both??
Hi Nathan, thank you for this tutorial video. Do i supposed to hear back ground sound when recording video with FilMic Pro? I recorded my dog, she was barking but when i played, no sound at all. Please advise.
is there any option to control the aperture when shooting video on iPhone using Filmic Pro

absolutely true, Emory. These words should be given to every maker of a tutorial
Great video. This is exactly what I needed to get me started using this app. 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for this! Just getting into Filmic Pro now.. :)
Great! Thanks! Very useful! My next question would be: how do i get best slow-mo-videos? in question of framerate. :) i would really be very greatful again! :)
and think about it: this is my first you-tube-comment ever! :) ;)

Nathan Hamilton ...thank you Nathan, which movie editor do you recommend exporting them to for the edit?
iMovie is free so compile the audio and footage, export, then re-edit in iMovie.

+li21 I generally don't. When you can't control for lighting and objects, locking doesn't make sense.

Great video Nathan.
Question: do you pay to purchase filmic pro or you pay the price every month as a subscription?
Isid Vojka pay to purchase
Super
i thought AAC isn’t supported by adobe premiere???
Could be the case. I don’t use premiere so can’t say.
Buy a mic dud
your mic is way too quiet for the musical intros and outros, otherwise, great video (:
Nate: Nice tips, but I had to crank my volume waaaayyy up to hear you properly. Time for a new mic, mate!
Thanks for video clip but could you speak louder next time.
PianonPop can do. Thx for watching
It can't touch the native quality of note 9.
Probably very useful tips.....BUT I CAN'T HEAR IT
Good video but the audio sounds kind of soft, and the dialog tends to be masked somewhat by the background music. Tutorials don't need musical backgrounds.

Way to loud Intro and Outro music...
I had to turn this vid off. The background music and the mic audio is horrid. Live and learn..
Background music is annoying,,
No more 2.59.1
This are not tips how to shot this is more like how to set up Filmic pro. Dislike
