App é um absurdo de bom ❤️❤️❤️

Melhor App para as gravações

Live-streaming?

I love the app but sometimes the live-streaming doesn’t work!

bug on iPhone 17 pro max

Switching from front to back camera will flatten the video recorded in back camera from top and bottom, by choosing the back camera first will solve the problem

Lost my footage

The app stopped opening, went to just reinstall it. Turns out that deletes the Blackmagic folder and there went all my footage.. app is amazing tho!

The BlackMagic app

Thee absolute best

One more option?

This is a fantastic app made by people who understand professional filmmaking. I love that it is free (loyalty building in case any of us make it big and need professional hardware) and that the app gives me so much control of the cameras.

But beggars are choosers so of course there is just one more feature I would like to make this perfect: dual camera recording on the same iPhone. I am doing walk and talk videos. Currently, I have to walk the path twice - once to the front facing A roll and once to do a rear facing B roll to use when I have to edit between takes. I really want to shoot both at once. There are dual camera apps out there, but they are all for a monthly fee and do not give the excellent features of this app.

This is a fantastic app. I appreciate that you provide it at no charge with even fewer limitations than you put on your DaVinci Studio free version. These two pieces of software let me make videos I can be proud of.

Problema no modo cinematic

Venho reportar um problema grave. Não sei pq, mas quando você liga o modo cinematic da black magic, o audio some e não aparece mais. Só com o modo cinematic desligado, precisam corrigir isso imediatamente. Eu uso num iPhone 16 pro max.

Color codec

In color codec apple log not there

Bring Back Internal ProRes RAW Recording!

Extremely frustrating that Blackmagic removed the ability to record Apple ProRes RAW directly to the iPhone’s internal storage. This feature was previously available and worked perfectly fine, so why remove it? Not everyone wants to connect an external SSD just to record ProRes RAW, especially when the iPhone has the internal storage capacity to handle it. Removing useful functionality through an update is a major step backward and makes the app significantly less appealing. Please restore this feature. There is absolutely no reason users should be losing functionality they already had.

Amazing phone app

One of the best things that happened for content creators was the gift of a free video recording app like Blackmagic camera. It’s simply the best.

No longer can film Apple ProRes Raw to internal storage.

After the most recent update I can’t film Apple ProRes Raw. to my pro video storage on my iPhone 18 Pro Max :( Now I just get prompted to connect an external SSD whenever I try to film in ProRes Raw.

CAN'T DO WITHOUT IT

Simply the best app for filmmaking period

Latest Update External Storage Only

Version 3.5.2 took away Internal Storage for ProRes RAW clips. Please fix this right away!

Good but so glitchy breaks my heart

Hoping these bugs fixes will get fixed soon specifically with launching the app from lockdown or control centre and with recording lut onto the clip

Awesome App But!

If it is possible can you please add pause and resume to the app to make easy to edit the video instead of just stop and record please let me know hope to see it in the next update 😊

Needs to be better…

It’s got some nice features, predominantly that it works with wireless mics such as DJI and displays the exposure numbers you need to see. Yet no shutter priority mode? - So, despite being updated for iPhone 18 pro, in auto mode it will leave the variable aperture open at 1.5 while having a ridiculously high shutter speed and if you lock any control it just switches to full manual. The stab is ok but not as good as other apps and to make it even nearly as good you have to turn the preview LUT off, meaning you’re seeing washed out log footage while filming. Hopefully updates will improve it. Particularly shutting down to F4 in auto - mode or give us a shutter priority mode to bring down shutter speed.

Crashing

Great app to be fair but for some reason it keeps crashing, i can’t enter the app which is strange.

Black magic camera

My most favourite app

Never use this garbage

Never use this garbage. It won’t work with your iPhone. It won’t record sound and video simultaneously. What you recorded is totally garbage.

Can’t open the app properly

The first bad experience from this app is that it doesn’t open and it closes as soon as I open the app. My friend told me about this app and apparently today I installed it today and I tried many times to run the app but it closes itself, and I don’t know if the app is broken or something, but you guys have to update this.
