Just so everybody knows, Filmic Pro app now cost $2.99 per week, yes I said week. That is $156 per year subscription. In four years that is $624 for a frinkin phone App. I don't care how good this app is, it isn't worth that.
Abject beginner here. Found your channel. It is packed with helpful, supportive content. This video answered questions I didnt know I had. Thank you so much. I've got a long journey.
Mavis seems to be the most polished in the way of feeling like a cinema camera, thought the menus are certainly clunky. It sure does have great frame/bitrate options and exposure tools.
I've been using Mavis for a few years now. One of the features it has that others don't, like FiLMiC and BeastCam, is that you can lock your shutter and leave the ISO on auto. I find this great for when I'm out with the kids at the park or doing something like a vlog. I can set my shutter and then let the ISO bounce around if I happen to walk into a shadow for a moment.
I have issues locking the shutter that I want. If I move the shutter to lets say 1/50 it will move me to either 30 or 40 automatically, even though I'm in M. Or even trying to lock in 1/48 it won't let me. If that part was fully manual without the app moving iso and shutter together then I would love this app more.
Amazing review! It's great that you jump into each app, and provide their pros and cons, without the fluff. I've been using Filmic Pro and the Moment app for about a half a year now, so I appreciate the comparisons in your video if I ever want to jump ship.
Thoughts on the new subscription model for Filmic? It also appears Movie Pro is still the only alternative for an app with remote control. That's the deal breaker for me.
Thanks for the great info. Subscribed and looking forward to your other videos. One additional thing I was hoping to see in your comparison was information about HDR capture. There is some variance among those apps. For example Filmic Pro only seems to support HDR at 4K up to 30FPS while others like ProCam 8 support HDR at 4K up to 60FPS.
One major flaw you missed here. The Mavis app is the only one out of all of them that you can Bluetooth timecode with the UltraSync Blue. Wish that wasn’t the case but it seems to be in January 2022. That’s why I purchased the Mavis app so I can be synced to the Blue with my Zoom F6 audio recorder and other Bluetooth timecode devices. It’s a big deal if you happen to be a musician or plan on using it in multi cam setups.
Thanks a lot for those reviews, it helps a lot! However, I find myself using Mavis and Filmic Pro, and Mavis even more than Filmic Pro. But this is just personal preference, I am just used to it. Let me just point out that Mavis is the only one of those apps that has timecode syncing support with Ultrasync Blue. Occasionally I set up my audio recorder with some mics and while recording with the iPhone, video and audio are recorded in sync. Sure, this is a special setup, but worth a mention. I guess I will try another app based on your review, so thanks a lot.
Filmic cost $2.99/week. Thought I could pay $14.99 one time and be done. I’m using external audio recorder for clean vocal but Protake only uses the iPhone mic. I need to find an app with audio meter for monitoring/levels and no subscription base I’m already doing that with CC
Woow ! You killing it ! Whether I Was looking not deep enough, or NOBODY did this comparison yet... One suggestion though: please remind us to like 👍👍👍 this because as well as I hate doing it by "new" ( not so good ) youtubers the best ones ( you ) bring my attention so much that I forget to click 😂🤣🤣
I’d love to see a behind the scenes for how you make and edit this one. I love the transitions from close up just you and phone to green screen you in front of the app interface. I’ve tried (poorly) to do some of the same with my science videos for my students. Are you filming in front of just a green screen (I think it looks like that) or are you using your normal garage teal wood background and keying that out? I’ve love to see a behind the scenes video of this videos, and others.
Awesome content mate ! Now I have one question… how do you export the content after the videos form my iPhone is done?? So I can edit it a bit by putting thumbnails ect ect…? Cheers
Thank you Stewart..... I learned alot from this comparison. My biggest issue is locking in confirming proper exposure settings for ND filter use followed by making sure I have that focus ring with having the ability to lock it in for switching to manual. I'm going to keep an eye on Filmic Pro & Beastcam to get this full functionality. Thanks again for this valuable information! 👍😊
Not fair to ProCam 8, the controls are in the letter M = manual control, it has all the things that promovie don’t. It’s just a piece of cake to use. Not the best camera app, but definitely better than ProMovie in every corner, except the in-app purchases, which is a big con.
Thanks! great video. loved the comparison. Regarding filmic Pro... I think we can probably approach them with some recommendations for future enhancements. I think some quick wins exist that they can do easily.
Hey Stewart, amazing video, have you encountered fps issues with beastcam? Also, I'm needing to choose one app to purchase for some serious filming and beastcam ticks all the boxes. I never tried Filmic pro but I feel I would value locking settings and level in the ui, which Filmic pro seems to fail at. Lastly I'm on the fence regarding the log curve features in Filmic pro, that I would miss in Beastcam. Please note i'd like to do some minimal coloring in Resolve in order to loose the video look and gain the less contrasty filmic look. Pls let me know, thanks! Luca
What do you think would be the best app for filming concerts? I’m just now getting into videography and I have a few gigs coming up, and I’m looking for a good option until I can afford a solid camera of my own
Hey! Great comp video, and handy chart as well! One thing I noticed as a chart omission: no comparison of which apps allow for "vertical shooting" - or the ability of the interface to flip vertically if shooting for IG/FB stories or Reels/IG-TV? I know that Filmic Pro does ( you demo that in this video). Also, do you know if any of these apps allow overlays while shooting vertically? such as 4:3 and such? Thanks for all the time spent on this info either way!
@@DroneFilmGuide great! Thanks for the reply, and for hopefully incorporating those details into the chart. With the growth and demand for IG-TV, Reels, and TikTok (etc) - vertical video seems to be becoming more and more important. I would hope these apps take that seriously and move to add this functionality to their product! 🙏🏻
Very Informative video,I’m guilty of “point & shoot” photographs but this would be an obvious way to improve my skills,however these apps still look daunting to a beginner,would you consider a beginners quite at some point to show exactly what all these numbers etc actually mean? Thanks
I jumped right in with Filmic pro and I thoroughly enjoy it. It has just about everything you need. My thoughts on that, It means you won't be limited in your growth / on your journey. I would say just start filming. 🍻
Hi Stewart, great analysis! I was looking at all of these. Has there been any updates on these (Jul 2022) since this video. Mavis appears to be an abandoned App as mentioned by Sky Makai. I have Mavis and FilMic Pro, and my research shows that FilMic Pro appears to be generally accepted as the best one at the moment.
Great Review (esp the focus on PAL!). Is there any app that will (currently) do the combination of: Constant Frame Rate (a must), UHD, 50fps, 10 Bit? I've purchased a half dozen or so and they are all missing one of these key features (trying to get footage that will grade well with my Sony FX6).
These are all so close. Love the A-B focus on the MoviePro but also of course need a solid constant framerate. Have you seen updates to any of these to make the perfect app in the 7 months since this was shot?
It's got a Cinematic stabilisation option in addition to Off and Standard. I haven't actually tested it but given the latency in seeing the image, hopefully it's better. Quite a few of the apps have a 'higher' stabilisation option though.
@@DroneFilmGuide it has to depend on a phone you’re using. I have zero latency using the cinematic setting with BeastCam. The level of stabilisation is equal in this mode is equal to what you get in Default camera app of iPhone 12 (in my case pro max)
I’m a novice filmer. Basically looking for an app for my iPhone 13 pro that I can record my kids sports events. Specifically looking for the “stop / go” feature. Like a video camera. What app is the best for this request?
Is it possible to use Mavis utilizing a video recorded prior to downloading the app. Or does it function only when recording something directly from the app itself?
I’m wondering the same. I enjoyed your video but with no ‘final product’ comparison, I feel like you left the most important piece out!! I understand functionality, ease of use and value but I’d also argue that once used to ANY app, ease of use and value are out the window. And the reason one becomes so familiar is because it includes or is available in post to rectify functionality. Just my $.02 but Mavis with a 19? Ouch, and as you so often mention, it’s the One app that shows the shooter everything at a glance. From ISO - shutter, frame rates to resolution to audio levels, even scopes! All there at a glance. Don’t get me wrong - Filmic Pro’s an excellent app and one of the most used in my arsenal as well but I lean on Mavis and have taken to ProTake as well …which kind of confused me when you wrap up you mentioned that ProMovie may be a good choice for the beginner, and nothing about ProTake - which you seemingly enjoyed per your review. Yet ProMovie didn’t seem as well received during your intro of the app(s) …sorry Bill, didn’t mean to write a novel here but TL/DR I agree with Bill - maybe when you do 2022, add to your reviews the ‘video quality’ as one of your comparisons. Maybe audio capture as well, as we all know how important audio is to video. Video quality and Audio quality please?!? You’re awesome!!
I think that the moment app provides a different color science that make it look like footage that is not as iPhone looking as the rest. It probably could get a higher score in the Video department
Hey Stewart, I’m looking for the best app to film the screen of a crt without my vid showing roll & flicker. So I need something that does 50 & 60fps very well, as I will be filming off both 50 & 60hz screens, it also needs to be able to adjust shutter speed to match those hz rates. Any suggestions on which one to choose? Thanks
Great video however there is nothing here that inspires me to part with my money. I have an old but still (only just) support iphone. Filmic Pro says the app will work but with reduced functionality. My requests for specific "reduced functionality" have fallen on deaf ears. So, I think I will stick with what works: the app that comes with IOS.
Does any of them offer sound input adjustment? I am trying to record in an event so the sound is very distorted and I need to reduce the input audio level.
Beginner here: I understand the concept of video portrait as facing the camera for a few seconds but what is a "video portrait mode"? I didn't see anything presented in the Protake segment in your excellent video that would show or explain it.
Hey! It's a reference the blurry background, shallow depth of field look that's typically very hard to achieve with a smartphone. For a while now it's been possible to artificially simulate the blurry background in smartphone photography but it's a relatively new development in video modes. It's not perfect yet but as and when it gets better smartphones will continue to erode the reasons for many to pay up for a traditional camera.
I use filmic pro cause it have all i need, working great with my smooth 4 gimbal and anamorphic lens even if this app can a bit frustrating sometimes. Protake seems to be good but i will not subscribe to an annual plan...
How about picture quality? I found Mavis the best using iPhone 13 Pro Max in low light conditions. All the other apps were awful with a lot of digital noise and artifacts. Android has the advantage now by the way, the app mcpro24fps completely eliminated oversharpening, introduced some really useful log modes like HLG, raised the bitrate up to 500 MBytes per sec (as a matter of fact it is a little bit of a cheating, because if the system has reached its maximum, it won't go further, but, fortunately, the app indicates it by turning the bitrate icon to red). But, still, you can make 6K video with 240 Mbytes per sec using a Xiaomi Mi10T Pro, which is around 250 USD used. Oh, and last but not least: Motion Cam wiped the floor with Apple Prores, because it can shoot RAW DNG video. And IT WORKS. So Android is the winner now, but I have to admit, I have NEVER EVER shot footage which looked like completely identical to what I have seen with my own eyes until I tried the iPhone 13 series, and I have used GH5, Sony A7III etc. iPhone rocks 13. Still blows my mind. And you can buy the cheapest, It will be as good as the most advanced Pro Max. I tried 13 Pro Max, 13 and Mini. I even find the regular 13 main sensor less noisy.
Hi if I shoot 30p or 60p in the UK with my DSLR to match my phones 30p Im reading that I should still set my DSLR camera to either 50 or 100 frames per second to mitigate potential artificial light flickering. Does this make sense to you.
Yes it does make sense... 50fps is the Pal system(UK, Europe, Africa) 60fps is the NTSC system (us) It matches the power frequency used. Which in the states is 60hz. In UK is 50hz.
@@vincentodero3143 Ive since found that final cut has a frames reframer that takes 30fps files and matches to a 25fps timeline. It works great I get smooth playback of my 30fps phone clips on my 25fps timelines.
Great video! Tons of information. Do you know if any of your tops picks (FilmicPro, MoviePro, BeastCam, ProMovie or Protake) can do a 4:5 aspect ratio (1080 x 1350) for Instagram videos?
do these apps create a depth of field when recording someone from like 3metres away? I want to start vlogging but cant afford a DSLR with a high end lens which will get me that depth of field
Please make an updated version of this video, filmic pro is now a crazy subscription model!!!!

Android has the advantage now by the way, the app mcpro24fps completely eliminated oversharpening, introduced some really useful log modes like HLG, raised the bitrate up to 500 MBytes per sec (as a matter of fact it is a little bit of a cheating, because if the system has reached its maximum, it won't go further, but, fortunately, the app indicates it by turning the bitrate icon to red). But, still, you can make 6K video with 240 Mbytes per sec using a Xiaomi Mi10T Pro, which is around 250 USD used. Oh, and last but not least: Motion Cam wiped the floor with Apple Prores, because it can shoot RAW DNG video. And IT WORKS.
So Android is the winner now, but I have to admit, I have NEVER EVER shot footage which looked like completely identical to what I have seen with my own eyes until I tried the iPhone 13 series, and I have used GH5, Sony A7III etc. iPhone rocks 13. Still blows my mind. And you can buy the cheapest, It will be as good as the most advanced Pro Max. I tried 13 Pro Max, 13 and Mini. I even find the regular 13 main sensor less noisy.
@Earth's Organism Yes, Mavis is pretty good.
Can moviepro be used with anamorphic lenses? anybody knows?
Does anyone know if any of these apps let you fix the ISO and leave the shutter speed on auto?
thanks good video i subbed
Thanks for the effort you put into it. It might have been mentioned before, there is another promising app called "mcpro24fps".
Beastcam DOES NOT lock shutter settings!!!!!
Hi if I shoot 30p or 60p in the UK with my DSLR to match my phones 30p Im reading that I should still set my DSLR camera to either 50 or 100 frames per second to mitigate potential artificial light flickering. Does this make sense to you.
Yes it does make sense...
50fps is the Pal system(UK, Europe, Africa)
60fps is the NTSC system (us)
It matches the power frequency used. Which in the states is 60hz.
In UK is 50hz.
@@vincentodero3143 Ive since found that final cut has a frames reframer that takes 30fps files and matches to a 25fps timeline. It works great I get smooth playback of my 30fps phone clips on my 25fps timelines.
@@markshirley01 so this will export 30fps footage as 25?
Great video! Tons of information. Do you know if any of your tops picks (FilmicPro, MoviePro, BeastCam, ProMovie or Protake) can do a 4:5 aspect ratio (1080 x 1350) for Instagram videos?
You can change those in several different editing programs specifically preset for your intended social media platform.
do these apps create a depth of field when recording someone from like 3metres away? I want to start vlogging but cant afford a DSLR with a high end lens which will get me that depth of field
Can this be used with the Osmo 3 and get the zoom and other features?
Yes, many of them can.
You'll need un update on this now that Filmic is subscription based--and quite expensive.
The price for Beastcam?
