Filmgate puts high-quality photos and cinematic video in one viewfinder. See the look before you shoot, then tap Photo or Video below the image to switch without digging through menus. SHOOT PHOTOS AND CINEMATIC VIDEO Photo mode offers high-quality capture, continuous autofocus, and tap to focus. Video mode lets you choose Direct or Pro: Direct keeps the controls clear and lightweight, while Pro opens the full manual and monitoring toolkit. PHOTO SETTINGS IN ONE PLACE • 4:3, 1:1, 5:4, and 16:9 aspect ratios • HEIF and JPEG formats • Off, 3-second, and 10-second self-timer • Off, On, and Auto flash • Review, restyle, crop, save to Photos, or share after capture SEE THE LOOK BEFORE YOU SHOOT Preview original cinematic looks in the viewfinder, tune intensity in real time, and hold to compare with the original image. Photos, videos, and imported clips use the same consistent look system. CHOOSE BY SCENE Start with street, everyday, night, café, portrait, travel, or product work. Each recipe explains where it works and suggests a look, intensity, white balance, and framing. Smart Scene analyzes the view on device and offers suggestions you can preview, apply, or dismiss. STYLE EXISTING CLIPS Import a video from Photos, preview a look, adjust its strength, and export a new copy without changing the original. Prepare 9:16, 4:5, or 1:1 social versions and reposition the image to keep the subject where it belongs. PRO VIDEO TOOLS WHEN YOU NEED THEM • FPS, shutter, ISO, white balance, tint, EV, focus, and zoom • Resolution, codec, stabilization, and device-supported capture options • Histogram, zebra, focus peaking, false color, grids, level, and audio monitoring • Import 17-point and 33-point .cube LUTs • Reusable camera presets • Local media library, Photos export, and system sharing PRIVACY FIRST No account is required. Filmgate contains no ads or cross-app tracking. Core image analysis, photo processing, and video processing stay on your device. User media is not uploaded to a developer server. FREE EXPERIENCE AND PRO Every built-in cinematic look is free to preview. The first five finished video clips are watermark-free; camera recordings, styled imports, and social exports share this allowance. PRO is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and does not renew automatically. The App Store confirmation sheet shows the final localized price. Available capture options depend on your device, lens, OS version, and selected format.
