MotionCam Pro is for creators who want more from their phone camera. Capture RAW video, RAW photos, DirectLog video, time-lapse and burst sequences, then render or process your footage with a workflow built for grading and real post-production. Most phones shape the image through a default processing pipeline, giving footage a fixed “phone look” before you ever start editing. MotionCam Pro is built around RAW sensor data, so you can monitor the signal, protect highlights and shape the final image yourself. Made for filmmakers, photographers and curious creators who want to learn, test, take control and keep improving their images. Capture with more control: - RAW video capture from the camera sensor - RAW photo, burst and time-lapse modes - DirectLog video for real-time RAW-to-LOG recording - In-app rendering and export workflows - ProRes, HEVC / H.265 and professional post-production options Expose with confidence: - RAW histogram - Sensor clipping map by RGB channel - False color monitoring - Focus peaking - Direct Preview to see the pipeline before recording Shape your look: - ACES color pipeline - DCP profiles - LUT support - Wide-gamut workflows - LOG outputs for grading in professional tools Continue your workflow beyond the phone: - Render on device - Process footage on desktop with MotionCam Tools for PC and macOS - Export for professional editing and color grading workflows Join more than 10,000 MotionCam users in the community to learn, test, share workflows and improve your results: https://discord.gg/Vy4gQNEdNS
