Why Filmic Pro?

Filmic Pro isn’t just another video recording app. It’s a powerful filmmaking tool that offers manual control over focus, exposure, white balance and more. It also lets you monitor audio while shooting, which the usual iPhone camera app doesn’t allow. With its intuitive interface, you can adjust settings on-the-fly, ensuring that you capture every moment exactly as you envision it. Think of it as having a professional-grade camera, but in the compact form of your smartphone.

How to Use Filmic Pro

1. Setting Up: Once you’ve downloaded the app, open it and familiarize yourself with the interface. You’ll see various icons and sliders that allow you to adjust settings. Don’t be overwhelmed; with a bit of practice, you’ll be a pro in no time!
2. Manual Controls: Use the sliders to adjust focus and exposure. This gives you the freedom to decide which parts of your shot are in focus and how light or dark your video is.
3. White Balance: Adjusting this ensures that the colors in your video are accurate, whether you’re filming in bright sunlight or under fluorescent lights.
4. Audio Monitoring: One of the standout features of Filmic Pro is its ability to monitor audio. You can do this by connecting Bluetooth headphones like AirPods or AirPods Max. The latter, with its closed design, offers superior sound quality, making it perfect for monitoring audio during interviews. Again, the regular iPhone’s camera app doesn’t allow this.
5. Attaching External Mics: Want to take your audio game to the next level? Filmic Pro allows you to connect mobile mics, enhancing the sound quality of your videos. Consider investing in Rode mics, like the ones found here. They’re compact, powerful and designed specifically for mobile filmmaking.
