CinemaKit turns your iPhone into a real RAW cinema camera - not a filter, not a "look," actual sensor data you can grade like film. Capture Magic Lantern Video (MLV), CKRAW or Cinema DNG straight from your iPhone's sensor, or record ProRes 422 and HEVC pulled from the same Bayer pipeline. Shoot in Log for maximum dynamic range, apply your LUTs live or in preview, and finish with the built-in grading panel — no round trip to a desktop required. RAW CAPTURE Magic Lantern Video (MLV), CKRAW and Cinema DNG recording straight from Bayer sensor data - 8/10/12-bit precision, Open Gate sensor modes, up to 4K. LOG, LUTS & GRADING Shoot flat with Log encoding, preview or bake in your LUT, then fine-tune exposure, contrast and white balance in the built-in grading panel. No third-party app, no round trip. BUILT-IN MLV PLAYER Review your RAW footage right on your iPhone - check focus, exposure and color before it ever touches an edit bay. WIRELESS TRANSFER Start the built-in file server with one tap and pull your footage over your network - no cables, no card reader. STABILIZATION Gyro data recorded alongside every take, ready for Gyroflow - smooth, stabilized footage in post without a rig. CinemaKit is a one-time purchase - no subscription, ever.
