CINE WHITE BALANCE

Version 5 is the biggest update since launch. Five new tools, all built on the meter you already have. GELS Measure a source, and the app tells you what to put in front of it. Pick a target - 3200K, 5600K, or anything between - and it returns the gel from the LEE or Rosco book that gets you closest, where the light lands, and what it costs you in stops. Match mode does the harder job. Meter the window, meter the practical, and it gives you the gel that makes the second match the first. Mixed daylight and tungsten interiors, solved on the spot. PREDICTED COLOUR What the light will be, where you are going, before you get there. Exact sun geometry for any place and any time, narrowed by cloud cover from the forecast. Drop a pin on the map or jump to where you are standing. Already on location? Anchor the prediction to your live reading, and the app models only the change from it. THE DAY Every reading from a shoot day, plotted against the sun that produced it. Colour temperature on a mired axis over night, blue hour, golden and full sun. A jump in the trace where the sun did not move is a lighting change somebody made - visible on the day, not in the grade. FRAMING 52 sensor formats from ARRI, Sony, RED, Blackmagic, Canon and Panasonic, with recording modes listed separately rather than averaged. 18 delivery ratios including 4:5 and 9:16. Angle of view for any lens, and the exact pixel dimensions for your timeline at 8K through 720p, with even, mod-8 and mod-16 rounding. SUN TRACKER The sun's path over the live camera, with sunrise, sunset, golden hour and shadow length for any date and place. Set a horizon angle for a valley or a building and the times move with it. SCENE REPORTS Export a day as CSV or PDF. Every reading now carries where it was taken and where the sun was standing, alongside the stills, the rig settings and your notes. Scenes shows it too - place and sun stage on every row. SHOW ME AROUND A guided tour that lights up each control in turn on the real screen, swipes the console to the page it is describing, and walks you into the sun tracker. Replay it any time from Info. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE - Camera profiles for 19 bodies, each checked against the camera it describes, plus a one-minute routine to fit the tint scale to your own - Warning when a source sits too far off the blackbody line to trust a Kelvin number from - Redesigned readout with a swatch of the measured light, and scales that read like instrument scales - The colour temperature scale now labels itself correctly - captions sat up to a sixth of the bar from the value they named - Widget now available on iOS 18. It previously required a newer system than the app itself, so it quietly never appeared - Fixes for the saved reference surviving an update, the app group behind the widget, and the sun tracker asking for location
