ProRes 2020įilmic Pro gives you the option to record in either 709 or 2020 color space when recording to ProRes.ħ09 is of course what most filmmakers are already well versed in, whereas ProRes 2020 is newer and more specifically optimized for an HDR workflow.įor the purpose of this quick test, I captured a handful of shots in ProRes HQ using both 7. To put the new ProRes recording feature to the test, I shot a few side by side comparisons with each setting. This is a massive achievement that can benefit not only your production workflow, but your post-pipeline too. It creates the flattest possible starting point to maximize dynamic range, much like any dedicated cinema camera would.īut only more recently has it become possible to record ProRes internally on the iPhone with Filmic Pro. Recently I shared this test shoot where I compare the iPhone to an Arri Alexa, and today I want to share another experiment.įilmic Pro has offered Log recording for a long time, which is a favorite feature of many filmmakers. I’ve been having fun experimenting with Filmic Pro and trying to really push the iPhone to its limits.
Both formats have their pros and cons, and it’s important to know how to best use each. Hopefully this helps someone out because I know I was just dealing with it for a while and am glad I took some more time to sit down and look at it again.Thanks to Filmic Pro, the iPhone is capable of recording in both Log (HEVC) and ProRes 422 HQ. So this means I can skip the step of encoding my video before dumping it in DR, which save A TON of time in the editing process.
Once I installed that extension, the clips on my timeline instantly worked without me even having to restart DR (I kind of forgot it was still open). The extension on the Microsoft Store is called: HEVC Video Extensions The place where I found the resolution was in fix #2 over at: /davinci-resolve-media-offiline/
So for $.99 on the Microsoft store, you can download the needed extensions.
Apparently Windows doesn't natively support playback of H.265/HEVC footage. In terms of workflow, I've found the solution to importing my files and it's kind of stupid. I haven't changed anything with my native iPhone settings, nor have I downloaded FiLMiC pro yet. I've been kind of busy lately, but decided I'd follow up with my findings in case anyone else finds this handy.
I will not use native iPhone files due to the variable frame rate causing issues in Resolve. It has options to have fixed frame rates and proper audio format including 48KHz sampling rate. I can't be the only person out there who records video on an iPhone and then tries to edit it in Resolve, so I was hoping to get some first hand accounts of what people are doing in that scenario.įilmic Pro has been working for me without issues. The main focus isn't necessarily how I'm recording on the phone (although I'm open to feedback and those videos are good for that), but more so what do I do after? Do I have to convert the video using another encoder? If not, how do I avoid it? The suggestion of using FFMPEG tells me that regardless of using the native app on the phone or FiLMiC Pro, I'll probably end up having to do this regardless. I appreciate the video links, but those don't really answer the question. Render Settings:Īgain, I'm looing forward to some feedback on this process from some of the experts around here!

Drop all of the video into DaVinci Resolve for editing. Also, going back to step one, would using a different camera app like FiLMiC Pro allow me to avoid this step all together?ģ. Part of my concern with this is I feel like I'm probably losing some quality by re-encoding the file.
Because DaVinci resolve doesn't seem to like the MP4 container from iPhones, I first convert it using EaseFab Video Converter. After the video is recorded, I move it to my Windows PC. 99% of my video is shot on an iPhone 12 Pro Max using the native Camera app. Below is the process and settings I'm using in my workflow. My overall goal is to retain as much quality as possible and to make the process easier if possible. Hello all! I've been using DaVinci Resolve for a little while now and am wondering if I could be making things easier on myself and so I wanted to see how others are shooting/editing on an iPhone and then exporting for use on YouTube.
