It’s been 3 years since I released a new LUT pack. This time I worked with professional Hollywood colorist Sam Zook in this, specifically for iPhone LOG footage (although I have slapped some of these onto my Sony footage and not bad tbh 😅) We have it on sale right now for limited time to celebrate its release. Enjoy! tinyurl.com/4exuntjn
@OVYEDDeno - because as a professional cinematographer/colorist, the person shooting the footage is supposed to have complete control over color grading in post. If you want your camera to color grade automatically, then use your smartphone and shoot in a mode that does all of that for you. Just don't plan on using it for professional work.
Finally an analysis on the iphone log that isn't made by some youtubers who are far from being professional colorists, thanks for taking the time to ask somes pros and give us your thoughts as well
You think Zy Cheng is just a "youtuber"? lol.. Look at this guy's setup compared to Chengs.. I'd call him the youtuber over cheng - who raved over LOG - any day of the week. And I bet I'd be correct.
I just got the 15 pro max and, as an animator with some background in photography, I think they WAYYYY undersold the capabilities of the updated camera. Holy crap it is so fun and powerful.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 8 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,177 subs and > 1,000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
I'm really happy to see smart people in the comments who actually understand what Apple Log is, not people comparing Samsung to iPhone, I'm really learning a lot just reading some comments here, I'm also planning on experimenting with Apple Log soon
I find that if you're working in a Rec.709 timeline, the iPhone Log footage is in Rec.2020 and you need to override the colour space to 709 before applying a Log to 709 LUT as the greens and blues will be overly saturated and look unnatural due to the extra latitude of Rec.2020 in those colours. I got the Apple Log to Rec.709 LUT from the apple dev kit as a baseline and it's great, then I can just work around with that. I'm still testing things, I only just got the 15 Pro Max a couple weeks ago.
The power of a reference monitor cannot possibly be overstated. The Sony 310 shows exactly what is there. Without it, little can be reliably accomplished in terms of a final look. It has to be seen to be believed. I feel like I can fly into the images, so perfectly do they mimic what I see in real life. Just like the recording studio speakers we spend car money on, there is no other way to get there.
@@robert7622this happens. What we see in streaming apps is not the same as what we see on big screen. Disney for sure does versions of their movies dedicated for streaming, quality and color wise. The closest to big screen is still BlueRay.

The same doubters are mocking Apple for having shot their Scary Fast Event for substation the cinema camera with an iPhone. They think you can walk around and get amazing work.

You may want to look at developing your own power grade and can use it with LUTS.

Great point on “if you want to make it look like a cinema cam, you’ll have to treat it like a cinema cam.” So many “high end” youtubers putting out videos why it can’t replace their main cam and showing some sh!tty vlog footage where they’ve put in 1% of the love in making the video of what they would do when using a Alexa eg. I’d love to see someone like Mark making a feature film with iPhone, even if that means that it will be ready when the next iPhone is launched next year, when the iPhone 15 topic isn’t trending anymore. I know this phone is capable of these things, but somehow no one takes the time to produce something that really shows the true capabilities of the phone.
Great unbiased review of things on this video for sure. Crazy set up he has for that grading but when you're working with footage like that I'm sure it's the norm.
Mark, by far the best Video on showing the true benefits of Apple log, well done and thank you. I'm interested in the lots, but I am trying work in a HDR workflow, HLG, HDR, export and wonder if these LUTs work for that, or is it always going back down to Rec.709.
Great video! Super informative and inspiring to start shooting log. - super annoying when we all have that friend that cannot stop touching your screens though 😅
Blackmagic Camera App does not automatically record to SSD when you plug one in, only the standard camera app does that. It's a royal pain in the a*se that I have to keep going into BMCA settings to tell it where to record to. Hope they sort it out very soon. On a side note the BMCA app did actually trash a brand new SSD and I lost all the footage on that drive. (a crucial X9 Pro 2GB) I Had to reformat it. When I updated my app store review saying about the SSD issue with the BMCA Apple decided to unpublish my review!
Finally an iPhone 15 Pro Log review and analysis you can take to the bank. Thank you Mark and Co. I watched the review on a 65" Samsung QLED so I could watch the video in a bit more detail,
Super cool!!! But honestly, if you have to add stabilization and in the filters, wouldn’t you rather have your phone in your pocket and just set up your DSLR?
Being a Samsung user myself I actually can't wait for this kind of stuff to get to Android, if it ever does. The iPhone was already better at shooting videos before, now it's straight up in another scheme of comparison.
I appreciate a pro colorist looking at the log footage closely, that exterior night shot was pretty impressive. I still feel that "phone look" to a certain extent but perhaps that's just a huge depth of field?? Additionally, is this something that you could compare head to head against MotionCam to see how it holds up? Since one is log and the other is cinemaDNG it's not a perfect comparison but it should be close, and I don't have either a 40k monitor nor an iPhone to do the tests myself 😅
It’s true, screens are so vulnerable, I took my iPhone 12 screen protector off to sell it and stupidity put phone in computer bag along with a bunch of cables, took phone out only a few days later to find scratched screen, so if your reading this and your selling any phone with protection on, leave it on. I’ve taken a fair few log photos with iPhone 15Pm but have not sat down yet to have a go at seeing if I can improve photos, this has inspired me to have a go over Christmas, going to look for screen protector on my Mac now and always touching the screen without trying too 🤣🤣🤣🤣 PS. Very true about the light as photos get a more noise and it’s very noticeable in very low light and holding phone still with longer exposure does help
This was awesome. As a black guy who shoots golf vlogs, im really struggling to find a good LUT that works well with my skin tones. If you could help that would be awesome.
I saw a good video on color grading, but I can't remember what channel it was. Anyway, that diagonal line on the vectorscope is where you want your skin tones to be, and they pointed out that it doesn't matter how dark the person's skin tone is, it should still be on that line. I also find that interesting... we all actually have the same color of skin... just different shades!
I don’t understand, why HDR correction? LOG is not HDR. The color space for HDR in Blackmagic Camera app is Rec.2020 - HDR. In any camera you can’t have both, you can choose LOG or you can choose HDR.
Thank you for the informative detailed review. It would be helpful to note that the iPhone 15 has no support for: Apple ProRes RAW recording, and ProRes Log, macro video, ProRes 444, and no external recording within these video formats. This might safe some potential buyers expecting these features to purchase the iPhone 15 by mistake.
Hi Mark, I bought your pack but i'm not getting the same file names that you've used in the video! Plus the ones that I got aren't making things look as good as you're showing on your video, please advise.
something you guys didn't touch on was the motion rendering...everything looks good w/ the phone except the shutter, it always looks like a high shutter speed was used, even when at 1/48. The motion just looks a bit crispy to me. have you noticed this too?
Great video! Im planing to buy your Lut pack as soon I know I have the proper tols to shoot in ProRes on my iPhone 15 Pro. My plan is to film to a SD card but Im not sure if the Card Reader USB Typ-C for SD UHS-1/UHS-II can handle the speed so I have to try out that first.
Not a Samsung user, but yes an Android user. Hell, I was more riled up that you seemed to use Samsung as a shorthand for Android. I prefer Android for a variety of reasons, and one of those is customizablity and extendability. Given that Android is open-source, there is so much that can be done with it. However, I cannot say I am not impressed with what Apple has done here. In fact, I'm honestly a bit jealous. This feels like something Android should be all over. I get how this fits into the more professional market Apple is wanting to target, but it feels like "here's a version and feel free to do with it what you want" feels right up Android's alley. Granted, I was halfway through writing this comment when I realized LOG is not RAW, but still (and would, thus, likely require more specific effort to bring to Android than just allowing the raw sensor data to be tapped into).
Great video, but I'm sad to see log > 709 LUTs still being released just by themselves as many colorists prefer to have control over their imaging pipeline and would thus prefer LUTs working in intermediate spaces like ACES and DaVinci Wide Gamut Intermediate without a technical transform baked in. I suggest offering ACES and DWGI variants in addition to the plug&play log>709 version for those who are just interested in the creative look you've made.
@@michaelavrie Same here... unfortunately creating DCTLs for creative looks is much more difficult than baking something you've made in Resolve into LUTs.
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!
Hey, can you please test this with the Android counterpart, the "MOTIONCAM" app ? It shoots fully RAW CDNG sequences( 1 second of footage takes around 800MB). It would be interesting to see iphone 15 pro with apple log vs samsung s23 ultra with RAW CDNG. Please take this request.
Amazing, I wish I waited for the 15 not go the 14 :-) but from a colourist to say all that stuff it quite a good review on the LOG image that it can do.
I use my iPhone as my main camera but mostly for photography, I tried using third party apps, even ProCam which should be the best one, but always think the level of quality it's not the same as the main camera app (maybe it's my impressions because I'm not used to). Was all this videos shot using a third party app, are they the same quality? One thing I'm absolutely sure though, the best pictures with the night mode you can possibly get on an iPhone it's by using it's main camera app.
Hi Mark, thanks for a great video. Please, do you have any idea why i do not see an Apple ProRes 4444 in a Black Magic Camera App? iPhone 15 Pro Max. Only 422HQ. Thanks Tomas
Why do you keep saying "LUT" throughout the video? I thought the colorist said he was using Color Space Transforms which are not LUT's. Resolve doesn't include LUT's for Apple Log (or most anything) because color management is the superior way to manage that kind of stuff. Moving from Apple Log to Rec 709 (or any other color profile) is just very basic math, its not creative in any way, you should never use a LUT to do this, as there is a free built in way to do this using the actual transfer function. The point is there is an actually right answer on transforming footage, once you have an accurate transformation, you apply your creative choices on top of that. I would never use a LUT to do this technical transformation, and I think a good high quality LUT would focus on taking a specific input and applying creative choices on top of it. Something that takes ACEScct as the input and outputs ACEScct, or something that takes in Davinci Wide Gamut and outputs Davinci Wide Gamut, mixing technical transforms with creative looks is a recipe for a bad time.
The colorist you brought it to (according to what was shown on screen) didn't use LUT's, why would you then suggest that is the best way to color grade this? I'm so confused...you even took the time to show the title at th-cam.com/video/_SiqKfm-8kA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TXW3IQ9j9-fUqgjO&t=81
As long as you do colorimetric transforms, i.e. transfer function and primaries, the color space transform is well-defined and the way to go. But when you go from log, linear, or some other scene color space to a display signal there is more to do than just apply the correct transform. Most notably, tonemapping ("contrast curve with highlight rolloff") and gamut mapping ("taking colors your display can't show into the valid range in a pleasant manner). Those are often done best with camera specific display transforms in the form of a lut.
@@Slettador I tend to disagree as gamut and tone mapping are both built into the cst, and even a high quality LUT will have to do interpolation. I think LUT’s are useful for viewing context in camera, or maybe for vfx to give more context. I was pointing out that that is what the colorist in the video was doing. He didn’t use LUT’s.
@@Slettador my point was if you bring it to an expert and he does it one way, then you suggest a different way, what was the point of consulting the expert? In the pinned comment he kinda says that the LUT can also be useful on Sony footage? To me that says that the LUT is not really doing what is expected, if it’s camera specific… My point is that we should use a scientific method of technical transforms and use LUT’S for creative looks on top.
Question: I noticed your back magic app had an Apple log 4444 option. I can only get up to 422. How do you access that? I have an external flash drive plugged in. Thanks for the nice vid!
I found out that the Blackmagic application writes some other log, the native Apple Lut is not suitable. Native armor is only suitable if you record with an IOS camera. Do you need other lut for BlackMagic?
As far as I know, Apple doesn’t “give” reviewers devices. Unlike other manufacturers, Apple stopped that practice years ago and will only loan devices for review and they must be returned.
It's not practical to shoot with it but I hope this sets up a trend for getting unprocessed stills/videos. P.s. I hope you did touch the screen at some point.
Isn't it the point that the iPhone is super portable and so *is* practical to shoot with it? With an appropriate small rig, you could even attach a drive on there, complete with zoom mic and stabilization. 🤷♂

Definitely cool to see that they’ve given some control of the picture back.
I find that if you're working in a Rec.709 timeline, the iPhone Log footage is in Rec.2020 and you need to override the colour space to 709 before applying a Log to 709 LUT as the greens and blues will be overly saturated and look unnatural due to the extra latitude of Rec.2020 in those colours. I got the Apple Log to Rec.709 LUT from the apple dev kit as a baseline and it's great, then I can just work around with that.

HQ will help you more recovering highlights in my experience but I find ProRes 422 fine for the most part
Do you always shoot in log?
This is AWESOME! 🤯
Remarkable.
Hey, can you please test this with the Android counterpart, the "MOTIONCAM" app ? It shoots fully RAW CDNG sequences( 1 second of footage takes around 800MB).
It would be interesting to see iphone 15 pro with apple log vs samsung s23 ultra with RAW CDNG.
Please take this request.
filmcut camera seems good!
2:18 «I'm not touching the screen Blyat!»
Bro looks like Steve job's on some side angle shots 😊
Hello, how are you ? What is your camera on this video at 6:38 ?
All the luts used in the video are included in the pack??
Nicely done Mark, great stuff!
I recognized all the equipment except the monitor and now i know why 😭
Amazing, I wish I waited for the 15 not go the 14 :-) but from a colourist to say all that stuff it quite a good review on the LOG image that it can do.
Actually I found that the blackmagic stabilization is terrible compared to iOS Camera and Filmic Pro. What do you think?
in cinematic and extreme mode? Terrible because it is not effective or bc it introduces motion blur or other artefacts?
I 100% agree! DON'T TOUCH THE SCREEN!!! In fact don't even point at the screen!
Great tips - love this video!
is it possible to get the same level of background blur as cinetmatic mode when using the black magic camera app?
I use my iPhone as my main camera but mostly for photography, I tried using third party apps, even ProCam which should be the best one, but always think the level of quality it's not the same as the main camera app (maybe it's my impressions because I'm not used to). Was all this videos shot using a third party app, are they the same quality?
One thing I'm absolutely sure though, the best pictures with the night mode you can possibly get on an iPhone it's by using it's main camera app.
Just think that Apple itself used the Blackmagic app to record all the videos made with iPhone 15 Pro and Pro max
This was a great video - thanks!
Is it available on the base model iphone 15?
Hi Mark, thanks for a great video. Please, do you have any idea why i do not see an Apple ProRes 4444 in a Black Magic Camera App? iPhone 15 Pro Max. Only 422HQ. Thanks Tomas
updated app removes that feature
This is the first time in iPhone history that a debate can be made to call it "Pro". Not having Log is ridiculous.
What stabilization gear would you recommend for an iPhone 15 Pro Max?
Link to that $40K monitor please.. Not that I can afford one in my lifetime but just curious about its specs like delta E, warmup time etc.
you drove Dont Touch The Screen guy crazy lol
could you tell the focal lenght of the lens which is recording the talking head part? sth between 35-55?
think he wants you to keep your hands away from his screens bro haha
Why do you keep saying "LUT" throughout the video? I thought the colorist said he was using Color Space Transforms which are not LUT's. Resolve doesn't include LUT's for Apple Log (or most anything) because color management is the superior way to manage that kind of stuff.
Moving from Apple Log to Rec 709 (or any other color profile) is just very basic math, its not creative in any way, you should never use a LUT to do this, as there is a free built in way to do this using the actual transfer function. The point is there is an actually right answer on transforming footage, once you have an accurate transformation, you apply your creative choices on top of that. I would never use a LUT to do this technical transformation, and I think a good high quality LUT would focus on taking a specific input and applying creative choices on top of it. Something that takes ACEScct as the input and outputs ACEScct, or something that takes in Davinci Wide Gamut and outputs Davinci Wide Gamut, mixing technical transforms with creative looks is a recipe for a bad time.
The colorist you brought it to (according to what was shown on screen) didn't use LUT's, why would you then suggest that is the best way to color grade this? I'm so confused...you even took the time to show the title at th-cam.com/video/_SiqKfm-8kA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TXW3IQ9j9-fUqgjO&t=81
As long as you do colorimetric transforms, i.e. transfer function and primaries, the color space transform is well-defined and the way to go. But when you go from log, linear, or some other scene color space to a display signal there is more to do than just apply the correct transform. Most notably, tonemapping ("contrast curve with highlight rolloff") and gamut mapping ("taking colors your display can't show into the valid range in a pleasant manner). Those are often done best with camera specific display transforms in the form of a lut.
@@Slettador I tend to disagree as gamut and tone mapping are both built into the cst, and even a high quality LUT will have to do interpolation. I think LUT’s are useful for viewing context in camera, or maybe for vfx to give more context. I was pointing out that that is what the colorist in the video was doing. He didn’t use LUT’s.
@@Slettador my point was if you bring it to an expert and he does it one way, then you suggest a different way, what was the point of consulting the expert? In the pinned comment he kinda says that the LUT can also be useful on Sony footage? To me that says that the LUT is not really doing what is expected, if it’s camera specific…
My point is that we should use a scientific method of technical transforms and use LUT’S for creative looks on top.
Question: I noticed your back magic app had an Apple log 4444 option. I can only get up to 422. How do you access that? I have an external flash drive plugged in. Thanks for the nice vid!
That was the old version, BM removed that feature in the updated app
is there an official apple lut available for download? Premiere pro does not feature it built in
Can you compare it with Sony Xperia
I found out that the Blackmagic application writes some other log, the native Apple Lut is not suitable. Native armor is only suitable if you record with an IOS camera. Do you need other lut for BlackMagic?
As far as I know, Apple doesn’t “give” reviewers devices. Unlike other manufacturers, Apple stopped that practice years ago and will only loan devices for review and they must be returned.
It's not practical to shoot with it but I hope this sets up a trend for getting unprocessed stills/videos.
P.s. I hope you did touch the screen at some point.
Isn't it the point that the iPhone is super portable and so *is* practical to shoot with it? With an appropriate small rig, you could even attach a drive on there, complete with zoom mic and stabilization. 🤷♂
Thanks!
