Magic Canonic ViewFinder presents you a precise framing preview for the real camera/lens combination you'll be shooting with, right where you stand with your iPhone / iPad. It simulates the field of view of digital cameras or lens and can help thousands of professionals in filmmaking at the preproduction. PLEASE READ: this app does not turn your Apple device into an external monitor, but operates as a stand-alone director's viewfinder. The app contains ad banners, which can be turned off with additional in-app purchase (in 'About the App' menu). The app is a digital directors viewfinder - it helps you see the exact field of view for your future shot. Select the camera from the menu and rotate the wheel to select the focal length of the lens. Supported cameras: Full Frame (in both photo mode 3:2 and video mode 16:9) - EOS-1D X Mark II - EOS 5D Mark IV, III, II, I - EOS 1D C, 5DS, 5DS R, 6D APS-C cropped sensor (photo mode 3:2 / video mode 16:9) - EOS 7D M II and I, 80D, 77D (9000D), Rebel T7i (800D), etc - EOS M6 / M5 / M10 / M3 - EOS C100, C300, C500, C300 MkII - XA10, XF100 Magic ViewFinder simulates using tele adapters or anamorphic optics on your camera (see menu). From the menu you can also select the aspect ratio of the frame guide overlaying your image. Magic ViewFinder lets you apply color presets (aka LUTs) to the live picture, which brings you even closer to the final shot. You may capture the image or video for future reference, with additional data like the focal length, date/time and camera / lens information. While capturing, you may lock exposure and turn on/off AF to better control the captured picture. You can turn on the AF mode, or lock the focus temporarily. You can also tap the live screen to focus on particular objects. White balance may work in Auto, Locked or Manual mode. If the field of view of your real camera is wider than your in-device camera, the app adds 'padding' around the image, since the device cannot 'see' what is beyond. Please note that position of your iPhone or iPad should correspond to the 'nodal point' of your real lens, which is somewhere in the middle of the lens. This point is, so to speak, the weighted center of the optics. Ad policy: The ads are designed to appear non-intrusively. Ads can be turned off (see below).

Our main goal is to help you find a job opportunity and guide you through a process from uploading your content to signing a contract. The platform consists of different tools to help achieve these opportunities. Bisses: Through every week, we get in touch with different parties who are looking for creatives, for example: institutions, private companies, record labels, agencies etc. and creatives as well. We turn that feedback into a global event that is called Biss. It's a recurring activity that allows you to upload your creative content that later gets upvoted by the users. The top 100 of the most popular artists will be forward to interested parties for work and collaboration. After we receive feedback from those interested parties, we will help you in finalizing your contract details, remuneration and possible deadlines. Search Engine: every user picks a profession during the registration. It determines skills and is visible in the search engine, so you don't always have to know what you are looking for. It's a unique function that is as easy as it sounds. This solution is only available in our app. In contrast to other social apps where if you don't know the name or didn't pay for an ad, nobody will find you. Profile:​ You can upload any format of audio, video and picture. Editing its length, and placement of the audio if you merge it. We offer a music library that consists of already made public tracks. Profile is divided into three parts: portfolio, collabs, bio. In the last tab, you can also attach your website and other socials. Chat Room: allows you to send direct messages to other users.
