Filmic Pro Updated to V7

I’ve been a fan of the offerings from the squad a Filmic for quite a while. I remember firing up the Filmic Pro app on my OG Pixel smartphone to take advantage of the phones (for that time) superior video capture capabilities. Plus, the app also integrated smoothly with my smartphone gimbal. It has been a great way to film content via the smartphone with pro-sumer grade tools. Today Filmic Pro v7 has been released.

Tools Video Creators Need

I got my hands on the beta version for Android some time back and was quite impressed with the app, even though I did have a few crashes here and there. But then again, it was beta software so perfect performance shouldn’t have been expected. The public release is great and is packed with tools video creators need to get the most out of their trusty iPhone or Android phone’s camera.

With the updated re-design, you get a more intuitive interface allowing creators to easily access the app tools to manage video capture and exposure such as shutter speed, ISO, false color and focus peaking. This is based on what Filmic calls “QAM” which is short for Quick Action Modal.

The app leverages the power of today’s top smartphone cameras allowing for capture of ProRes up to 4444 quality, support for 10-bit SDR, clean HDMI-out for use as a webcam in your broadcast or streaming set, image stabilization and more

You can find out more about the new version of Filmic Pro via this great video the team put together. The app is now subscription based app now due to the team recently being acquired by Bending Spoons. If you’re an old-timer Filmic person like me, you get the annual subscription at a discounted rate of $40 instead of $50. But, you are also offered a free trial. Get the app in the App Store or on Google Play if your Android phone is supported.
