Well, it's not exactly true. With ProRes 422 it's still chroma subsampled to 4:2:2. To take full advantage of the sensor you'd need 4:4:4. But the phone probably isn't fast enough to write such huge amounts of data, so it's also kinda true.

@@PhilipLuckey In fairness to Horst, he is a transplant from legacy media. Local market cable, I believe. This is probably the first time he has laid eyes on anything DJI. Not a camera geek by trade or training.
I just upgraded from an XR to a 13 Pro, and I love how thin it is. I know it's supposed to be heavier, but maybe my case selection is tricking me? It feels light to me. The only thing that's cumbersome is getting used to the large camera module, mostly when sitting the phone down though. I immediately had a couple chances to try the cameras and night mode shooting, and it's pretty impressive, especially compared to my girlfriend's 11 Pro Max.
I can’t say anything to the weight of the 13 Pro but the XR is for some reason heavy phone.. was the first thing my mom recognised when she switched to the XR.. maybe it has something to do with the weight distribution..
This is a great example of how powerful our phones are, but even more so an example of how equipment is no replacement for skill. A master guitarist might play a 10K custom guitar, but she'd still sound amazing on a 200 dollar guitar from amazon. Same thing here. Great camerawork and editing. Most of us wouldn't be able to make something a fraction as good as this even if we were using 50k cameras!
This is really impressive. I didn't think you could such things just an iPhone, but. When I finished watching the video I accidentally clicked on an another one and I was like, holy shit that's to much better.
I work with ProRes files regularly, and laughed at the announcement that it would shoot those massive files but still only have USB 2.0 speeds and limited storage. But I loved the explanations, and am pleasantly surprised by the results! I wonder if there are apps to do something similar with my Galaxy if the need ever arises.
I knew instantly that the shots were done on a phone. Cinema glass looks different (different warping at the edges, shorter DoF unless you’re stopped down to like T-8, and the shots were a wider focal length than would normally be used for a video like this). That said, the quality was still excellent. Just because you can tell the difference doesn’t mean one is “worse” than another.
For shots that have changing framerates like the one at 1:47 where there is a speed ramp up, Assuming you are using Final Cut Pro, You may want to turn on optical flow. It is located in the retiming settings next to Frame Blending and Speed Settings. It analyzes the video, comparing each frame and creates frame in-between, allowing for a slow motion effect that does not compromise on frames. Sorry for the long comment! just wanted to be as clear as possible :)
Did you watch the video?? They literally said they editted it on premiere Pro lmaoo but premiere pro have optical flow too so it works out I guess LOL u didn't watch the whole video
This was such a creative episode. While I missed Andy's camera work, I loved it. I'm used to camera video losing depth of field, but this video certainly didn't lose much, if any. Given how much happier Premier was, according to Hoffman, working with ProRes video, would it not behoove LMG to look into moving to cameras that used similar technologies. If it makes the editing process, at the expense of file sizes and storage requirements, that seems like a pretty good trade off? Unless they already are, but some interstitial issue is causing Premier issues.
From what I’d heard from a Wan Show, they’re moving to Sony FX6s, if they hadn’t already. It doesn’t natively support ProRes, however, the FX6 can output a raw feed to an external recorder which can then encode to ProRes.
i could tell from the opening shots. i expected the video to be far better than my 12's camera, but it's not so professional that i'd consider upgrading tbh. I'll happily wait a few years. maybe 2 or 3 minimum
Lol I love this channel; you guys are doing such a great job. I always seem to end each MA video with a smile, and that's hard to give someone who may be watching the video solo.

Second 0:12 i felt something was off and combined with the video title i quickly figured that the video itself was shot with an iphone. In the studio-soundstage shots it is barely recognizable. But yeah sound is not as great as it is usually. Anyway great video jonathan an hoffman!
Looks good but I always have the feeling that even though the iPhone shoots in 4K, the video is less crispy and sharp as a regular camera in pretty much every shot but especially indoors, even though you have proper studio lights.
Yeah, the only time my video ever looks like it’s legitimately resolving 4K is in sunshine. Then it looks absolutely mind blowing to someone who’s been a camera nerd for 25 years. Indoors in low light, it’s a phone.

I feel like what you’re also asking is “are dedicated camera professionals still necessary?” and the answer has been, is, and forever shall be YES. (as an amateur who has shot video on iPhones since before it was supported.)
I'm a rube, so I didn't really notice a loss in quality in the shots, but when you did mention shooting with the iPhone, I did figure something was up. I do know these phones are pretty much the best thing you can shoot with short of dedicated professional cameras.
Andy getting hugged reminded me that "oh yes this is a LMG video" XD I may not be a iOS person but I love seeing what the capabilities are of the devices on the other side as a android user.
It's amazing to me that Apple puts so much effort into having their devices be able to produce such high quality videos, and yet, when you want to transfer these massive files they have used a port that only supports speeds so low that it takes many hours to transfer. Why do they resist using standard USB C so much?
The funny thing is the iPad has a lightning 3.0 port with 3.0 speeds, so I can’t for the life of me understand why they can’t at least put that in the iPhone.
@@davexmit That's a terrible answer, network transfer speeds are worse than USB 2.0... I know Apple's money hungry but I think you're wrong about iCloud being the reason for this
I know it's from 3 months ago But to put it simply, when Apple moved from the 30 pin to the lightning cable a lot of companies were really mad about it, having to now make a new product to fit a different cable slot. Even if it's only minor it's still a huge cost. And of course Apple Certified cables, they do generate Apple a fair chunk of income, not enough to cause a hindrance to their income, but enough to say "hmm I DO like this extra bonus so maybe I will keep it" Eventually they're gonna have to use USB-C however, I doubt people will support a full wireless system
Aaaandy! Commenting for the algorithm, I recognise iPhone footage instantly because I’ve spent so many years shooting and editing videos with one 😅 moved over to a Sony A7S3, overkill but I’m loving the quality.
The lightning port is the only thing stopping me from upgrading to a 13 pro this year. I’m praying the 14 switches to USB C and also the cheaper mid range model comes with 120hz display as I’m not much of a photo taker
@@teg24601 Actually I think Europe just put through a new law stating all phones and devices need to have USB C within the next 2 years, so the question is whether it'll be the 14 or 15. I agree though that Apple wouldn't switch it if they had the choice
The bleh motion blur (frame rate?) and distorted corners on any shot showing a full room make it obvious from shot one. The close-ups looked surprisingly good though.
This is one of the weaknesses of a phone camera. To achieve pleasing motion blur often depends on an exposure time of 1/2 the actual frame time. (So 1/60 for 30 fps, for example). However, a phone by itself has few options to control exposure. It does not have an aperture to close down (which is already a very fast F1.5), and most people shooting on iPhones do not use ND filters. This leaves shutter speed as the only remaining control available. And with an F1.5 aperture, shutter speeds in excess of 1/5000 in daylight isn’t uncommon.
It was immediately obvious - the colour and fov very first shot, as well as the audio quality, were all glaringly different to other recent LMG videos. Still amazing quality and great content as always. Definitely noticeable but not in a bad way.
It doesn't look bad. It's just not deceptively put together. For example if you do the long focus pulls and use the gimble to make smooth sweeping transitions, you can stitch together something quite close to what one would expect a normal average youtube video to be. I also don't know if there is now a way to shoot in 24 rather than 30 frames. That too would make a difference. Over all great video and content as always. Cheers!
Just so you know the samsung S23 Ultra has all the video settings built-in the native camera app ( no need to install other app like on iPhone ) it can shoot in 8K and has better low light performance that the iphone 14 pro
I often shoot video in Dolby Vision 1080 and It really lifts the lighting and white balance quality and TH-cam automatically creates an SDR and HDR versions. Gives very nice indoor lighting.
I work for a small tv station, and the work camera maxes out at 35Mbps. But it’s “fine” so they don’t want to upgrade. Sometimes I shoot footage with my iPhone because it actually makes a better image. The old camera does have XLR inputs, ND filters, and optical zoom though. Yay.
Within the Apple Ecosystem, a professional video workflow would be to shoot on an iPhone, transfer to a Mac and then edit within Final Cut. I can't imagine Apple releasing a dedicated cinema camera so it's interesting to see them push the the iPhone as it's currently the weakest link in the chain.
@TheRealBandito Right! However, that requires crazy fast WiFi which is really expensive. So then that means you're buying an expensive phone and untop of that having to get expensive internet just to have an optimal workflow. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me but that's Apple's MO for ya 🤷♂
@@ericvisser5253 I would bet that most people who have an iPhone 13 Pro (or Pro Max) also have a wireless router that is fast enough. And if you're talking about shooting video for yt, that's pocket change compared to all of the other stuff you'll need (studio lighting, audio, etc) to make the video look this good.
@@ericvisser5253 When using airdrop the data don't go through your WiFi router. It connects 2 devices directly. And most Apple devices have WiFi 6 for years.
@@ericvisser5253 No need for internet if your devices are on the same network and modern home routers/APs have WiFi 6 aswell as most modern phones. I can easilly get 1Gigabit/s from my iPhone to my desktop PC.
@@lukassury9114 Yes you could just use airdrop but airdrop is still slower compared to USB-C. Especially if Apple made changes to the IPhone to where you could transfer to an external SSD via USB-C. It would smoke airdrop no problem
With my eyesight, never saw the difference. Still, enjoyed the video. A few years ago I attended a trade conference for e-learning professionals. Attended a session on creating video with iPhones. iPhone 6s was the hardware at that time. Even then the quality was impressive.
How long did me take to figure out this video was filmed differently? about 10 seconds, as soon as I noticed all the crushed whites, but I'm not a normal person, so... eh... :)
You did great, some topic like this or the EarPods cleaning could be shot by you without us really noticing. But other topic wouldn't be as enjoyable, the shooting done for the video about the iPad for example feel really "artistic", the outdoor scenes, the poses/exposure really change the tone of the videos that makes them apart of similars videos. Love your work, and love your videos!
I think modern flagship phones are perfectly fine for those who can’t afford professional camera gear, or can’t justify it because they’re making things very infrequently. But whether with a phone or pro camera, having a shooter is always the best! It can cut your shooting time down dramatically, and make some things more practical - like that shot of you coming out of Starbucks. I would NEVER want to try setting up a tripod solo, walking in, grabbing drinks, and walking out, simply for fear that my gear would walk off in those moments…
I am thinking on starting to shoot some videos and interviews with a similar setup you proposed and some lights to help. In the end is about how your viewers watch the videos. If they will end up watching it while sitting on the toilet, does it really matter if it’s in an ultra high resolution? It just has to be good enough but I feel extremely good might not be worth it, or would be benefited by a very small subset of viewers to justify the extra efforts. Just my two cents.
HEVC supports various chroma sampling formats. They're probably just referring to what the HEVC encoding format of some device or software offers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Efficiency_Video_Coding#Profiles
I am solely using my iPhone 12 & Filmic Pro fro my content creation. Is it possible to get a shallow depth of filed using the app to achieve a 'soft background'? I've not been able to work it out....thanks
from the thumbnail and title, I assumed it was shot on an iphone, but it was really high quality. one shot seemed to jump from one iphone camera to another abruptly, not sure if that was a zoom in done in editing or an actual camera switch in software while shooting.
First few seconds, my thoughts: Something changed about the video post-process... more grain and blur... BUT I noticed it only because I got used to 4k (on 1440p monitor) high-quality video from LMG. If not that I would not notice anything suspicious. It's so neat that you can just make pro-quality videos with a phone..
The early shots when you were moving around under artificial lights were obviously done on a phone, the static shots were fine, and it did well in natural light.
I agree
Agree. The iPhone is amazing even for LMG on occasion, but if you are not making 5k on a video, I’d say it’s still an amazing option.
Perfectly summarised

Commenting for the algorithm, I recognise iPhone footage instantly because I’ve spent so many years shooting and editing videos with one 😅 moved over to a Sony A7S3, overkill but I’m loving the quality.
Love these videos, Love Andy.
Loved David snatching that camera in the beginning. You snooze you lose! Haha
the video felt a bit grainy compared to usual but it was definitely good enough to watch like normal
another banger of a video from MA!
Idc about ProRes , but that plot twist in the end of the video put a smile on me, nice touch
saw it in the very first shot that you filmed it with a phone. knew immediately you would film the entire thing on iphone
The lightning port is the only thing stopping me from upgrading to a 13 pro this year. I’m praying the 14 switches to USB C and also the cheaper mid range model comes with 120hz display as I’m not much of a photo taker
You are more likely to get USB3 compatible Lighthing rather than USB C on the iPhone... for many, varied reasons.
@@teg24601 Actually I think Europe just put through a new law stating all phones and devices need to have USB C within the next 2 years, so the question is whether it'll be the 14 or 15. I agree though that Apple wouldn't switch it if they had the choice
Nice work. Really enjoyed this.
OK the mouse gag at 3:43 is great
I remember a few years ago an episode of a BBC tech show (Click) was shot entirely and edited entirely on phones. It turned out surprisingly well.
Honestly: the theme of the video I don't flipin care about.
But man that is a nicely directed and edited piece. :)
This channel is really underated
I watch you tube content providers using older Iphones for their footage. Honestly it looks great.
I like that Inception moment at the end of the video 🎬🎥... 🍿
This guy deserves way more subs
This was a great video. Very entertaining to watch.
How about using airdrop for transferring the videos to the Mac? Shouldn't it be faster?
The bleh motion blur (frame rate?) and distorted corners on any shot showing a full room make it obvious from shot one. The close-ups looked surprisingly good though.
This is one of the weaknesses of a phone camera. To achieve pleasing motion blur often depends on an exposure time of 1/2 the actual frame time. (So 1/60 for 30 fps, for example). However, a phone by itself has few options to control exposure. It does not have an aperture to close down (which is already a very fast F1.5), and most people shooting on iPhones do not use ND filters. This leaves shutter speed as the only remaining control available. And with an F1.5 aperture, shutter speeds in excess of 1/5000 in daylight isn’t uncommon.
Such an informative vid! I learned so much!
It was immediately obvious - the colour and fov very first shot, as well as the audio quality, were all glaringly different to other recent LMG videos. Still amazing quality and great content as always. Definitely noticeable but not in a bad way.
I love this channel, omg why do you make so few videos. You guys are almost a year old. And still have a slow irregular schedule.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN première hasn't crashed ?? That's illegal hands off keyboard and mouse I'm seizing this computer
It doesn't look bad. It's just not deceptively put together. For example if you do the long focus pulls and use the gimble to make smooth sweeping transitions, you can stitch together something quite close to what one would expect a normal average youtube video to be. I also don't know if there is now a way to shoot in 24 rather than 30 frames. That too would make a difference. Over all great video and content as always. Cheers!
I’ve only ever heard people pronounce it “D-J-I” 😂 hearing it called “diggie” made me laugh.
Unintentional Heung Min Son reference in the thumbnail? #COYS!!!!!
Just so you know the samsung S23 Ultra has all the video settings built-in the native camera app ( no need to install other app like on iPhone ) it can shoot in 8K and has better low light performance that the iphone 14 pro
so true I wish apple can do that
I often shoot video in Dolby Vision 1080 and It really lifts the lighting and white balance quality and TH-cam automatically creates an SDR and HDR versions. Gives very nice indoor lighting.
I work for a small tv station, and the work camera maxes out at 35Mbps. But it’s “fine” so they don’t want to upgrade.
Sometimes I shoot footage with my iPhone because it actually makes a better image.
The old camera does have XLR inputs, ND filters, and optical zoom though. Yay.
0:20 best crossover
This shows something I think most people miss, prores is not about more quality immediately, it is about more data and versatility in post
1:00 I'm sorry what was the product you were using? I've never heard it pronounced that way
Within the Apple Ecosystem, a professional video workflow would be to shoot on an iPhone, transfer to a Mac and then edit within Final Cut. I can't imagine Apple releasing a dedicated cinema camera so it's interesting to see them push the the iPhone as it's currently the weakest link in the chain.
@TheRealBandito Right! However, that requires crazy fast WiFi which is really expensive. So then that means you're buying an expensive phone and untop of that having to get expensive internet just to have an optimal workflow. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me but that's Apple's MO for ya 🤷♂
@@ericvisser5253 I would bet that most people who have an iPhone 13 Pro (or Pro Max) also have a wireless router that is fast enough. And if you're talking about shooting video for yt, that's pocket change compared to all of the other stuff you'll need (studio lighting, audio, etc) to make the video look this good.
@@ericvisser5253 When using airdrop the data don't go through your WiFi router. It connects 2 devices directly. And most Apple devices have WiFi 6 for years.
@@ericvisser5253 No need for internet if your devices are on the same network and modern home routers/APs have WiFi 6 aswell as most modern phones. I can easilly get 1Gigabit/s from my iPhone to my desktop PC.
@@lukassury9114 Yes you could just use airdrop but airdrop is still slower compared to USB-C. Especially if Apple made changes to the IPhone to where you could transfer to an external SSD via USB-C. It would smoke airdrop no problem
I haven't seen you upload since last year!
1:30 - Is that an editing artefact? was the iPhone struggling with that lighting? or was it something else?
Great video as always. You could tell that it war filmed on an iPhone because you could notice noise and a soft image.
Man I love these intros
Does he call DJI “digi” ?? 🤣🤣
Yep he did 🤣
With my eyesight, never saw the difference. Still, enjoyed the video. A few years ago I attended a trade conference for e-learning professionals. Attended a session on creating video with iPhones. iPhone 6s was the hardware at that time. Even then the quality was impressive.
1:00 I’m calling DJI “digi” from now on
How long did me take to figure out this video was filmed differently? about 10 seconds, as soon as I noticed all the crushed whites, but I'm not a normal person, so... eh... :)
Always thought iPhone shots looked a little over sharp, noticed that from the start of this episode. Still better than I’d expect from a phone though
You did great, some topic like this or the EarPods cleaning could be shot by you without us really noticing. But other topic wouldn't be as enjoyable, the shooting done for the video about the iPad for example feel really "artistic", the outdoor scenes, the poses/exposure really change the tone of the videos that makes them apart of similars videos.
Love your work, and love your videos!
I think modern flagship phones are perfectly fine for those who can’t afford professional camera gear, or can’t justify it because they’re making things very infrequently. But whether with a phone or pro camera, having a shooter is always the best! It can cut your shooting time down dramatically, and make some things more practical - like that shot of you coming out of Starbucks. I would NEVER want to try setting up a tripod solo, walking in, grabbing drinks, and walking out, simply for fear that my gear would walk off in those moments…
I am thinking on starting to shoot some videos and interviews with a similar setup you proposed and some lights to help. In the end is about how your viewers watch the videos. If they will end up watching it while sitting on the toilet, does it really matter if it’s in an ultra high resolution? It just has to be good enough but I feel extremely good might not be worth it, or would be benefited by a very small subset of viewers to justify the extra efforts. Just my two cents.
What I use when filming on iPhone and need to transfer my Mac is AirDrop
I had never knows what 4:2:2 was or that HEVC only did chroma per four pixels. I always learn something new with this show!
HEVC supports various chroma sampling formats. They're probably just referring to what the HEVC encoding format of some device or software offers.

I am solely using my iPhone 12 & Filmic Pro fro my content creation. Is it possible to get a shallow depth of filed using the app to achieve a 'soft background'? I've not been able to work it out....thanks
04:15 was Airdrop too slow? It’s the fastest way here at home and really fast for large files.
from the thumbnail and title, I assumed it was shot on an iphone, but it was really high quality. one shot seemed to jump from one iphone camera to another abruptly, not sure if that was a zoom in done in editing or an actual camera switch in software while shooting.
First few seconds, my thoughts: Something changed about the video post-process... more grain and blur... BUT I noticed it only because I got used to 4k (on 1440p monitor) high-quality video from LMG.
If not that I would not notice anything suspicious. It's so neat that you can just make pro-quality videos with a phone..
It’s clear from the very beginning of the video, especially watching you move around. So please keep Andy 😂
