C2C integration is fantastic!

A very useful tool!
All that’s missing is the addition V-Raptor and Komodo to the camera list.

Response from developer

Komodo is added. Enjoy, my friend!)

Komodo ?

Please, please, please add a camera preset for Komodo.

The Frame.io integration is so useful. In fact the Frame.io C2C(camera to cloud) integration is the killer feature. Whether for scouting with actual lens accuracy as to what lens(es) and focal lengths you’ll need or to on set inspirations for new ideas and the ability to share easily with crew and execute right away.

Think you can get by with one lens? This app will prove it. Finicky about focal lengths? Try them all out with this app and have proof that you really do need that 12 lens package with still photos and video to show and most importantly share with others.

This is a true preproduction and production tool that is very useful!

Response from developer

Komodo is added. Enjoy and let me know if there is any problem )

No grid

Great concept but the screen has no grid for composing shots as shown in the app display, this was disappointing.

Response from developer

Hi, I’d like to un-disappoint you: Menu > Preferences > Show grid — check it. Enjoy) PS Hello Mr 3-Star?)

Great app

As a red camera user’ I recommend this app to filmmakers even if they are not shooting with a red. It is essential framing guide that has replaced the measuring tape , I used. Any filmmaker needs this. But it is essential time saver for red camera film users.

Response from developer

Thank you for your kind words

Is this it?

Where are the options to change the sensor. What is a red camera? So many questions but I’m left to bumble through settings which mean nothing to me and I still can’t get it to do what I want it to.

Response from developer

Well, first thanks for your note :) Red is a camera maker (www.red.com). To use more common camera sensors please try Magic Canon (or Nikon) ViewFinder. Hope it helps
