## What is LogGate Pro · Log to Rec.709?

LogGate Pro batch-converts Apple Log, Apple Log 2, and ProRes RAW footage — including Open Gate captures — from iPhone Pro cameras to Rec.709 SDR with hardware acceleration. Built for iPhone filmmakers, it combines batch AI video cropping with smart subject reframing so you can shoot open gate and deliver 16:9 in one step. All processing is on-device, no cloud uploads.

OPEN GATE WORKFLOW
Shoot in Open Gate (4:3 full-sensor) on iPhone Pro, then let LogGate Pro handle the AI crop to 16:9, 2.39:1, or any custom ratio — all in the same batch as your Log conversion. No manual keyframing needed.

WHAT IT DOES
• Batch-convert Apple Log, Apple Log 2, and ProRes RAW to Rec.709 SDR — color matched to professional editing apps
• Choose your Look: Standard (natural), Flat (a clean base for grading), or Punchy (social-ready)
• Convert HDR (HLG / Dolby Vision / HDR10) footage to Rec.709 SDR
• Automatic color-format detection from camera and container metadata — including footage from drones and third-party tools
• AI smart cropping with face and subject detection
• Export multiple aspect ratios in one pass: 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 1:1, and Original
• Export presets for YouTube (SDR 16:9) and Instagram/Reels (9:16) — delivery-ready settings in one tap
• Optimize cloud and NAS sources before export — eliminates the slow path for iCloud Drive, LucidLink, and network folders
• Output to ProRes 422, HEVC, or H.264
• Social-ready mode caps delivery resolution for upload-friendly file sizes
• Flexible audio: passthrough, mono, mono-to-stereo, or strip
• In-app batch summary: view your processing report, failed items, and total time right in the app

### 1/5 — Waste

*2026-08-03*

Wasted money. The app is buggy and doesn’t work as advertised. Apple sided with the developer and refused to refund my money for this piece of junk, so here’s your 1-star review. Choke on it.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7 — 2026-08-18

• Optimize cloud and NAS sources before export — faster, more reliable processing for iCloud Drive, LucidLink, and network footage
• Export presets for YouTube (SDR 16:9) and Instagram/Reels (9:16) — delivery-ready settings in one tap
• In-app batch summary: see your processing report, failed items, and total time right in the app
• Preflight warnings flag slow-path conditions before processing starts
• Clearer per-item error messages for codec, source, and permission problems

### 1.6 — 2026-06-09

• ProRes RAW color now matches professional editing apps
• New Look presets — Standard, Flat (for grading), and Punchy
• HDR (HLG/Dolby Vision) footage now converts properly to Rec.709
• Fixed: the output folder you choose is always the one used

### 1.5 — 2026-06-03

• Better ProRes RAW color — no more blown-out highlights, full dynamic range
• Fixed color auto-detection for drone and third-party footage
• Open Gate workflow: shoot 4:3, deliver 16:9 with AI smart crop
• Stability and reliability improvements

### 1.4 — 2026-05-19

More sources, identified correctly.

Apple Log 2 is now detected using the authoritative metadata key Apple writes into every ProRes file — so footage tagged with LogTransferFunction stays "Apple Log 2" regardless of how it was encoded or re-muxed. Earlier versions relied on color primaries inference and could occasionally misread Apple Log 2 as "Linear."

Drone footage and ffmpeg-encoded ProRes now classify correctly. Many cameras and tools write color information in the legacy nclc container format, which AVFoundation's standard API doesn't expose. v1.4 reads the colr atom directly, so DJI ProRes exports, ffmpeg-encoded clips, and legacy camera footage no longer show as "unknown color."

Rec.709 recordings from external recorders like Atomos Ninja are now identified by name instead of showing as "unknown color." These files set the color primaries and matrix tags but omit the transfer-function tag — v1.4 falls back to the primaries when the transfer tag is missing.

The color-detection badge now shows how each clip was identified — "via Log key," "via metadata," or "inferred" — so you can see at a glance whether a source has reliable color tags before you convert.

### 1.3 — 2026-05-02

v1.3 is a performance and color-quality update for anyone shooting in Apple Log.

Batches finish faster on Apple Silicon. M-series Pro, Max, and Ultra Macs now process two clips at once automatically. And when you're exporting one source to multiple aspect ratios in the same batch — 16:9 plus 9:16 for social, for example — the source is read once and fed to every output, instead of starting fresh for each.

Sharper HEVC quality from Apple Log and ProRes RAW. Outputs now preserve the full 10-bit color precision all the way through the encoder. Earlier versions silently dropped to 8-bit at the last step, which softened gradients and shadow detail. The fix is automatic on every 10-bit source.

Smart crop runs once per video instead of repeating for every aspect ratio you export. Multi-platform social cuts get the time savings without any change in framing accuracy.

Progress bars now fill smoothly in one pass without bouncing, and the remaining-time estimate adapts as the batch moves through. The in-app help section has been refreshed to match every current feature.

Smaller fixes: iPhone 17 Pro is now correctly identified by name, file access through the sandbox is more reliable on cloud-mounted volumes, and multi-output exports keep audio consistent across every aspect-ratio variant.
