Final Cut Camera Positive Reviews

Cannot record to external drive any moreUpdate. Support promptly contacted me. Turns out app can no longer save to external APFS drive, but external ExFAT drive works fine (docs will be updated to reflect this). Would prefer APFS for various reasons but ExFAT works and now I can use external drive again. Really like HEVC Apple Log codec option for internal and external drive. Back to 5 stars app. —— After the last application update I get two entries under System Settings -> Files & Folders -> Final Cut Camera, one on and one off. I cannot turn the off to on. If I turn the one that is on to off then the second disappears. I can turn back on (only one entry remains). But as soon as I leave settings and go back to the app the second Off version of Final Cut Camera shows up in the off state in the Files & Folders. Inside the app I can only record to internal storage. Cannot select, allow, or record to external storage. Tried deleting app with setting in off and position and upon reinstallation the two On and Off entries show up again in Files & Folders. Hope this is fixed on an app update soon!.VicenteSilvestreVersion: 1.1

Incredible. Better than Blackmagic Camera App let me explain.If the developers are reading this kudos to you. This app is the real deal. Almost like magic. Aside from the amazing video features I’ve noticed the prores files are sharper and contain more data than other third party apps. This results in bigger file sizes but to me that doesn’t matter because I’m exporting to an SSD. I’ve noticed in post that I can push the image super far without the image breaking. This is incredible because this is matching some of my mirrorless cameras. I’ve done some comparisons between black magic, pearla and some other apps and they don’t even come close to Final Cut camera. A message to the developers I don’t know what kind of voodoo magic you’re doing. Keep doing it. I know that the iPhones are capable devices. If you can even somehow manage to pull off prores raw or some other raw codec such as cinema DNG I would literally put down $100 for this app or even contribute somehow. Keep up the great work!.StillwickedlyVersion: 2.0

Amazing app with a deal-breaker flaw… but easy fix to implementThis app is an amazing concept and has been executed very well overall. In fact, it’s so good that I have replaced the Camera shortcut on the Lock Screen of my 15 Pro Max with a shortcut to this app. Videos are simply easier to take in a way that looks good compared to the Camera app, thanks to the ability to finally force the phone to use the lens you choose (the stock Camera app is extremely reluctant to use the 5x telephoto lens to record video in all but the best lighting, and prefers to switch to a blurry, grainy crop of the main lens to gather more light). And there are several granular controls and indicators not available in the stock app that really help the experience. It’s overall really good. At the same time, it’s not perfect and there is a notable flaw that could be a major deal breaker. As of now the app will only save videos to a folder in the Files app called “Final Cut Camera”. What this app needs is the ability to choose the destination for saving video - such as, in my case, my camera roll in the Photos app. I’m not a pro and I don’t want my videos saved in a weird spot - I just want them in the regular old Photos app along with all my other shots. Finally, there are two more suggestions I have to improve, but these are not deal breakers. It would be nice to get an “auto FPS” setting similar to the stock Camera app, so that when enabled, the camera could reduce the frame rate to 24 FPS in very low light settings. Additionally, there’s no way to change the focal length after the video recording has started - it would be nice to still have access to the 13mm, 24mm, and 120mm buttons to be able to switch lenses mid-capture if necessary. If these issues are addressed, I will update my review to 5 stars immediately, as this app is a really good concept!.ThatgoldscooterVersion: 1.0.2

HelpCan you do it to my app now and that app was great I’ve been using it for a long time but I can’t access my media anymore. I just keep saying no media and have to restart like just to get to my media so please can we fix this cause I need to edit my videos thank you. You have a nice day. I went back in the app and it deleted every single thing I’ve recorded on this app so we need to fix this cause this is a big problem because all my videos I’ve created. I need this fixed urgently because I don’t know how you can get everything back. I really need a way to figure this out because I feel like I put so much trust on loyalty into this app and they’re not giving me the results. I want it because of what it was working great everything was amazing but when I deleted everything like what app does that?.Pro gamer56477Version: 1.2

Works GreatThe extra options & defaults make it a lot nicer than the regular camera. The HD & SDR, FPS & quality being easily accessible (just at the top of the screen), is probably the best part of it. It also just records overall smoother than the default camera, I can kind of tell a noticeable difference in the smoothness/speediness when using the default camera, versus the app. The microphone is more clear when using it as well. Overall, for what I've used it for, its nice, & it works well. -(iPhone 14) (also, sorry, im bad at making reviews.).Zimmy dimmyVersion: 1.0.1

Great potential, not up there yetFinal Cut Camera offers a lot of the basic features that you would want to control in your phone with as shutter speed,iso, white balance, etc. BUT it’s quite inconsistent sometimes. There are quite a few glitches and errors that happen, which can be frustrating when you’re trying to get a shot or then have to re record something. Also when you choose certain things like the grids lines overlay, they DON’T STAY. This is annoying because each time you have to go back in and re select them. It’s not the absolute hardest thing in the world. But as any filmmaker knows, it’s the little things that count and you just want to hit record as seamless as possible. Also everyone is right about the storage. It fills up on this app extremely fast and you have to delete the app to clear it for some reason. Even when you delete things you record from the app. Weird. Overall, I’d say it’s not consistent enough to be my go to app anymore. Love the easy interface. But if you need something reliable just use Blackmagic Camera. That’s what I’m going back to. I really want to like Final Cut Camera, I spent 4 months using it and I just can’t anymore. Hope they can improve but it’s just not where it needs to be for people who truly want to a good experience record on their phone..Maskd MarvlVersion: 1.0.2

So far, So good!Camera is simply laid out and is easy to use, and is Very Economical when it comes to shooting in 4K; file sizes, that is, in comparison to other apps (Blackmagic, in particular, which is an unnecessary space hog). Also very easy to use digital zooms on all lenses, and for being a version 1.0 it is very ready to use right out of the box. Feels organic. If it needs anything it Needs a Level, and perhaps a separation of ISO from Shutter Speed elements, and perhaps an “add video to photo library” option and an optional function to combine zooms into one, like in the native camera app (but maybe that’s nitpicking, and not a pro type of thing) but so far, so good. Thanks Apple for another Great free app!👍.ChegaroVersion: 1.0

I think the app is great but since it is so new it has some flaws…One thing that I encounter when I open the app is that the app is really laggy and doesn’t load fast. If I take a video on it the video it’s not laggy when I rewatch it, but when you are recording it is laggy. Over all that is the only major problem that I encounter in the app. I think that it is a great app and I will probably be using it to take videos more often then the default camera app. I hope that these changes are made and the app will be great! I know that the app is fairly new at the time that I am writing this review and I know with new apps they will have some bugs with them..☝🏽McGriddy👌🏽Version: 1.0

Fantastic start..a few thingsMost needed changes are level and a setting to auto save files to photos (as a PC editor getting files off the device is needlessly difficult if not in photos) there is also a nasty bug that glitches the first several ms of a video, often missing key moments when record button was pressed. Im stuck using this because the DJI app drops frames and the stock camera is missing settings this app has. Hoping this bug is fixed soon!.Le sackVersion: 1.0.2

This is a great app, but it needs some improvements.This app is really good, and I enjoy using it on my iPhone XS Max. However, I’ve encountered two issues that I hope the developers can address. First, the app causes my phone to get very hot, so maybe they could optimize it further. Second, when I’m recording videos, I would like the option to turn on the flashlight to capture footage in dark places. Overall, though, it’s a very good app..Norado AndreVersion: 1.2

Why no watch control?The app works well. Offers better control than the native camera app. I was hoping to streamline functionality as a Final Cut 11 user, and have been looking for new options since filmic went subscription based. That being said, this being an Apple product, and not supporting any kind of monitoring or control from the Apple Watch is kind of unforgivable. Both filmic and the native app have done this for some time. I’m just going to have to keep using the filmic legacy app without updates until Apple rectifies this, or Black Magic offers it with their app..Michael A KeatonVersion: 1.1

MulticamThis app seems to be legit but after using the apps multicam feature one time it is no longer connecting with my other Apple devices. I’ve tried all the recommended steps to resolve this issue, but it still doesn’t work! I recently had to record using my three devices separately since the connect to multicam feature isn’t working. I seen that this app had a update in the early stages, but the problem is still there. Also it would be helpful if we could submit feedback to Apple for this app in particular. Please fix this problem!.DJ MeezyVersion: 1.1

Easy to use, feels like a native appI greatly enjoy using the Final Cut Camera app. It’s much easier to use than many camera apps that give you extra control; while still giving ample options. I enjoy filming in LOG for a more natural look, and the option to film in HEVC is great for file space. My only request, please add a 35mm lens option like with the standard Apple camera app!.The clouds were nice todayVersion: 2.0

Needs some workHaving to jump to this app because Filmic doesn’t support 4k HDR 60fps somehow even though it is possible here and in the native camera app — I MUCH prefer filmic’s controls, including ability to adjust tint with white balance (cannot here, so annoying) and the speed at which adjustment locks to exposure or white balance can be turned off (so painful here). If Apple put in more time to tune this app to consider usability more this would be fantastic..Ahdom SayreVersion: 1.1

Great AppThis has been a great addition over the stock camera app with more professional controls. I’d love to see the ability to turn on “Lock White Balance after starting Recording”. I’d also like to see an update that includes Spatial Audio. Right now that feature is only available on the default camera app and should be on the Final Cut Camera app..SpeedNbeautyVersion: 1.0.2

PhenomenalThe first and only choice for my content creating source. Very user friendly. Thanks to easy to a use interface, I am able to make my best content using the highest level of quality. Photos are crisp, vibrant and detailed. Video is great and the stabilization is on par with film studio equipment..TrilllNxxxTiiimeVersion: 2.0.1

Great but needs some extra featuresI love using this app to film content. I feel like it levels up my filming. But it takes up so much storage and doesn’t have a good way to show if you actually deleted footage or not. Would love if it was like the photos apps where you can see what you recently deleted and either delete them right away or wait the 30 day period..SlimstarburstVersion: 2.0

Simple is greatI often shoot with a client that likes to get b-roll on his phone. The simplicity of this app is perfect for him; I just set it to manual shutter and he’s good to go. I’d love to see support for ProRes LT recording. Also support for opening from the Camera Control button. Lastly there’s a bug I’ve noticed where it says I’m out of space even though the settings app says otherwise. Unclear which is true..331BleeckerVersion: 2.0.1

Amazing App missing important featuresThe app is great I can have more granular controls with the camera. But the fact that we can’t map the camera control button to quickly open the app or use the camera control in the app in general for a first party app is beyond me. Besides this fact the app is great for creatives that shot photo and video on the iPhone!.VononthemoonVersion: 1.1

Great Video Camera App—One Wish ThoughI would like Apple to consider adding a feature to mute/hide all system and app notifications while the camera is recording. I forgot to set focus to “Do Not Disturb”, and I found myself fumbling to dismiss notifications that were being delivered while recording, while trying to prevent the app from switching (and interrupting my recording!).SeattleMatt1976Version: 1.0

Love it but needs some minor yet important tweaksI love the app but on my 15 pro max, as I Zoom in the camera glitches between lenses and it then proceeds to not appear it show it zooming in anymore yet when I replay the video it DID in fact zoom actually all the way, please fix 🙌🏽 fun &!the biggest issue is when the app Goes unused for a even a day it RESETS ALL SETTINGS & Formats! Please fix asap.DayDayHunchVersion: 1.2

Please address this issue asapNow I love this app it’s great for filming high quality video on my 15 Pro but I’ve encountered a problem where the app doesn’t record the first few seconds of my video I’ve recorded things and when I go to watch back the footage the first few seconds of the video are cut off this needs immediate attention.Generici45Version: 2.0

Camera app is great. But lacks support for bluetooth audioI tried to connect my bluetooth mic as input source to the app. But it shows only this device no other device as mic input. In one of the other apps am able to select other bluetooth device as input to record the audio. I think apple should support this feature to get 5 stars..Murthy KasturiVersion: 1.0

Promising but needs work.Still waiting for a white balance lock on record , and the app is still very glitchy and takes an entire second or two to respond on iPhone 17 pro, but offers some good settings for video codecs and color profiles so maybe it will be useful soon 🙏. The native iPhone Camera app works much better although you still need an external ssd for ProRes 4k60fps..Nelson…TVersion: 2.2

AmazingThe camera is great quality, but besides that I have a camera problem that causes my videos or pictures of shake, when I downloaded this app that problem went away!! I am super happy because I love that videos and pictures and now I can !!.I_likecows87Version: 1.0.1

Laggy / unreliableIt’s hard to believe this app was created by Apple because it’s extremely laggy / unreliable. On an iPhone 15 Pro with lots of available storage this app has lots of problems: * app becomes laggy. Sometimes the record button won’t work. You’ll press it but you may need to press it again * it records in the wrong orientation. You could be recording horizontally but it still saves vertically * the worst bug: stabilization will mess up the first two seconds of almost every clip! The whole frame will jump. Almost like it kicks in late. This makes this part of the video unusable. This app records nice video but these issues make the app unpredictable / unreliable.Tomgreen99200Version: 1.1

AveragePretty much the same as the original camera app except for, as others have stated it lags a lot. Annoying when you’re trying to take a video. The original camera app has no issues so I wonder what’s going on with this one it’s suppose to be better but I’m not seeing it. Maybe after a few dozen updates and operating system changes it will be better..CaesarsrideVersion: 1.0

Can’t use Bluetooth with mySmall Rig Brandon Li IPhone 15 pro max wireless handle Bluetooth / button. Can’t find any info out there regarding this issue. When I connect Bluetooth it operates my volume control, in one direction, raising the volume level, each time I press it.. It works with BM app on my iPhone 15 pro max, but not this app. Hope they fix it soon..Snapple2024Version: 1.0

Remote App neededI’m just starting to use the app and find it very easy to use with the controls easy to access. I would like a remote camera app for the Apple Watch similar to the remote app for the standard Camera app. Hopefully this in the works. Thanks..RideabiketodayVersion: 1.0

Almost Great!The simple user interface is great. I've been using the black magic pro camera app which sometimes feels glitchy. This app feels cleaner and pretty much as useful as the black magic pro app at this point for my purposes. But it's missing 2 vital things. Firstly, the 48 mm focal length/2x zoom is missing (I'm on an iphone 16 pro). Secondly, having the ability to switch cameras like how you would on the normal camera app would be amazing. I know it's not as useful for cinematic shots, but it would be great for vlog style videos shot on log. If these two things are added, it would easily be a full 5 stars..LunarLights8Version: 1.1

Yes. And noI’m currently using the iPhone 17, however it’s cool I can click the camera control button to record, but why can’t I use it to zoom in or access advanced controls? And how come I can’t have and option to open it by clicking the button in the control settings? Those are some ideas to integrate into this.Useless_Wolf78Version: 2.0

GREAT APP - 2 complaintsThe app should allow me to access my footage when i am on the phone, I understand not being able to film, but it should not disable the entire app. There should be a native photos album I can use for uploading to different applications to avoid saving footage twice..Puddle0101Version: 1.2

Fantastic update, However(Update) This release is super buggy. Certain camera settings just reset randomly after closing out the app like stabilization and preview lut and leveler and I’ll start to record and not realize my footage is super shaky. Also I shot about 7 fairly important clips yesterday and chose 4k 60 and when I bought them into post they were 32 fps. We need updates more often. (Original review) The addition of h.265, lut preview and levelers are great but I can’t believe Apple doesn’t let you launch from the capture button. Please add this so I can map the capture button to launch Final Cut camera!.Anthony81lVersion: 1.1

MULTICAM NOT WORKINGI went through the troubleshooting steps. I have over 150gb of storage, deleted then downloaded app, shutdown pad and opened and, Bluetooth and WiFi on. If I open the app and start recording then it’s fine but when I try to use multicam the app freezes and I have close the app then open to use again. Same thing when trying use on my 14 pro.RotnlrdVersion: 1.0

Great Pro VideoI really like Final Cut Camera. It’s excellent for my workflow. I think this app is off to a great start, however, I wish it also had camera control functionality with the camera control button on iPhone 16 Pro. I would give the app 5 stars if it had that functionality!.Grouchy PeterVersion: 1.2

Good, but doesn’t free up space when deletingIt’s a decent app, but I noticed it isn’t releasing space when deleting videos/items, so you have to delete the app (so you delete its documents and data) to free up the space. It’s a pretty frustrating bug considering that videos take up a lot of space and space is very limited on iOS devices..ChefTWVersion: 1.0.2

Recording jitterSeeing a lot of jitter and a substantial loss of natural stabilization vs the pure camera app. Using 15 Pro Max. Just doesnt look or feel as smooth when shooting. Other than that this has the potential to be something great. When shooting it needs to give the exact results we get when shooting with the camera app as far as stabilization, and smoothness..Designlove56Version: 1.0

LOG and H.264 support missingIPhone 13 mini Can we get LOG and H.264? We can already shoot 4k30fps H.264 in the regular camera app by disabling HDR, so why is the option missing completely in this app? I also know the phone, hardware-wise, is capable of shooting 4k60fps HDR LOG H.265 so give us the option! What’s the point of a ‘pro’ camera app if you won’t unlock the true full potential of the phone?!.WhocaresssssssssssVersion: 2.0.1

Everything’s Great Except..Hello, I’m a professional videographer/content creator using the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and I rely heavily on the ProRes RAW video feature for high-quality footage. I primarily use the Final Cut Camera or Blackmagic Camera app for this workflow. However, I noticed a significant limitation: unlike the regular iPhone Camera app, the Final Cut Camera does not offer a zoom slider — neither the round dial nor a smooth linear slider. This might seem minor, but the zoom slider is an essential creative tool for many creators. For example, it allows dynamic zooms in/out during shots, especially when paired with DSLR-style lenses. Currently, lacking this feature forces workarounds that disrupt creative flow and efficiency. I would love if you could consider adding: -The zoom slider from the stock Camera app in ProRes RAW mode for Final Cut Camera. -A smooth zoom slider already available in Final Cut Camera for precise, gradual zooming. This would give creators more creative freedom and reduce unnecessary workflow complications. I’m not alone in this — many creators I know have expressed the same need..Re:LiveVersion: 2.0

Unstable Performance and Limited File OptionsFinal Cut Camera is a good app to do more advanced video shooting than the standard camera app while not being as cumbersome as more dedicated third party apps like Blackmagic Camera. That said, despite being an Apple developed app and running on my iPhone 16 Pro, I will frequently have to "restart" the app because of very low performance in the live view, where the preview looks like it dips to 5 frames per second or even worse. I haven't been able to determine a cause of this issue and it's certainly frustrating and unacceptable for a device which I use primarily for its video capabilities. Finally, while they recently added the ability to use h265 to record LOG which is amazing and a really user-friendly option, it would be great to have ProRes LT which might be an ideal balance between file size and quality..JayrosssssVersion: 1.1

Fractional frame ratesLooks like it would be a handy tool to use in certain cases, however lack of support for fractional frame rates (23.98, 29.97) limits its usefulness in dual system production environments. Blackmagic Camera handles fractional frame rates just fine..JellotorVersion: 1.1

Camera is missing pro featuresCompared to other camera apps this offers little more than the stock camera app, however: - HEVC compression is very limited by bitrate, in other app we can select high or extreme (150mbps) options which is crucial for quality in many prosumer use cases - can’t use an external Bluetooth mic like DJI Mic 2 directly without hardware connection, can connect directly without the receiver using other apps. The same with AirPods..Eugenia NVersion: 1.0.1

Narrow use caseI don’t know how many people actually record live in a multi cam situation. I usually do my multicam edits on my computer, not my phone or tablet. And that seems to be the major selling point here is that you can link and do multicam editing. When Final Cut Camera was announced in the spring, I was eager to try it out. Now I’m mildly disappointed because of what appears to be artificial software limitations in what is otherwise and nice. When compared to other camera apps out there like Blackmagic Camera, Final Cut Camera is lacking. I can shoot HEVC only on FCC, but others apps support ProRes 422, 422 LT and other codecs. I can only assume that this is a marketing gimmick by Apple to get people to invest in a new iPhone, as it doesn’t appear to be a tactical limitation. If you want to stay in the Apple ecosphere, then this is a great camera app for you; there are other better choices though..BjorkwheatVersion: 1.0

Final Cut Camera Negative Reviews

Buggy and loses settings constantlyAfter the latest update on iPhone 17 Pro, the app still loses all settings all the time. Some of them are lost whenever it loses a hold of the camera (e.g., when you temporarily background it or check a notification), others are lost whenever the app is restarted or SSD is connected. The settings include: — Shutter speed and ISO (resets to 1/60 sec and some tandom ISO every time without fail, requires at least half dozen taps to fix) — Format (often resets from regular ProRes to HEVC) — Color (often resets from Log to HDR) — Focus mode (resets to AF) — Overexposure indicators (resets to off) — Stabilization (resets to off) — White balance (goes to auto) — Camera (goes to 24mm) Other bugs: — Even if a valid SSD is connected when the app is started, the SSD has to be reconnected when the app is in foreground, losing (again) 80% of vital settings. — The overexposure indicator is nearly unfit for purpose: it highlights some degree of overexposure, but when a bright area goes far enough into clipping zone the highlighting… just stops, and the screen lies to you by pretending it’s all exposed well. You can’t rely on it in difficult situations. So much for “vertical integration”….Goblin89Version: 2.2

Can’t editI can’t even edit because I have no idea how to and nobody is making like videos of how to do it so I think for you to get a higher star rating I think that you should do like something how to edit the videos and how to cut things out when you need it When you need to yeah I think that’s how you’re gonna get a higher rating. Maybe some people do know how to do it. I don’t so I think you just really have to do that so maybe like make a video of how to do that so yeah I just don’t really know how to edit the videos. Other than that it’s it’s pretty good, so yeah for you to get a higher rating I think that you should just like make a video or a tutorial of how to do it of how to edit. Please take my review seriously and please do what I’m saying to do or just like have somebody to do it yeah you’re gonna get a higher rating thank you bye.Alexa Rose 0725Version: 1.2

Garbage app,garbage AppleThis is actually an Apple-developed app? On my iPhone 15 Pro Max, since its launch, I've encountered constant bugs! When returning to the camera interface after reviewing footage, all parameters reset randomly: stabilization disables itself, peak focusing turns off, 60fps drops to 30fps, Log profile switches to HDR mode, LUTs fail to load. The worst part is the alarming frequency - 50% occurrence rate! You rushed this half-baked product to compete with Blackmagic's apps, ultimately misleading users. It's severely impacted my commercial projects, even casting doubt on my professionalism. Don't deflect by saying "real professionals use DSLRs/cinema cameras" - even casual users wouldn't tolerate such app performance. Take it down immediately. Relaunch only when optimized. I've lost faith to the point of abandoning FCPX altogether. Apple's ecosystem is becoming profoundly disappointing..ErbiXuVersion: 1.1

Completely BrokenThe app often deletes a seemingly random amount of footage from the beginning of a recording. Also, when stopping a recording, there is a high chance it does not actually stop, freezing the whole app while it continues to record unwanted footage until it decides to stop. These two things often happen at the same time, rendering the footage almost unusable. It bewilders me that Apple would tolerate an app in such a state. This is extremely unfortunate, as the ui is very clean and user friendly. This would probably be one of the simplest and approachable pro camera apps if not for these glaring issues. However, as of now, I would not risk recording anything of value on this app..Page ZeroVersion: 2.0.1

This app has wasted potential. Missed opportunity for iPhone Mirroring with Mac for content creatorsWhen I use this app for creating my footage, I am constantly frustrated that I cannot control or preview this app from my Mac using iPhone mirroring - this is EXTREMELY frustrating. I do not understand why there isn’t a toggle in my settings to allow iPhone Mirroring to let me see the app UI or my footage from my Mac screen! At least give me the option. It can stream social media and videos, why not a live feed of Final Cut Camera? This app is TOO GOOD to not let me control it easier, guys. Come on there’s got to be a better way. Here’s the deal, Final Cut team... My iPhone 17 Pro (which I bought for this) is setup on a tripod with the screen facing the WALL in a corner of my room. Currently, I have to bend forward awkwardly and use a handheld mirror to see the phone screen while trying to frame my shot to make sure I’m in view, aim for the buttons on screen and hit them to record. After I’m done, I then have to aim for the buttons again to turn off the recording, and at this point I have to fully take the iPhone off its tripod (messing up my previous placement) just to send the footage over to my Mac via airdrop to check if the position of my tripod (which I just had to mess up to get my iPhone) was good and my lighting was correct. Then, I have to try my best to reset it before I record. Imagine if I could just… use my Mac with the iPhone Mirroring app to do all of this in like 5 seconds - AND allow me to use the AF Lock feature from my Mac to adjust my exposure and actually be able to adjust my settings which I can’t do because my iPhone is on a wall facing a tripod! This app feels like you guys made the PERFECT pro camera app only for me to not be able to use it effectively. I really hope this gets resolved so I can update this app to 5 stars, which it otherwise deserves..Diz-AhVersion: 2.2

Unusable after weeks of useUnable to record, getting a warning message that the device storage is full even after deleting 150GB of content. Uninstalled app, deleted all data then reinstalled and still getting the notice. Until this point I would have given Final Cut Camera 3-4 stars. Video output may be wrong orientation regardless of orientation when starting capture. About 15 of my 65 videos, all shot in landscape orientation, were rotated portrait in the final video even though the control ui during recording was landscape. Final Cut Camera has no editing/rotate capability and can’t access the files in Photos app, so I have to manually edit these videos after downloading them out of this app. + Repeat crashes on editing settings.Shea14Version: 1.0.1

Camera ControlFinal Cut Camera is positioned as Apple’s professional video recording app, yet it barely uses one of the main hardware features of newer iPhones: Camera Control. I want to control focus, zoom, exposure, and white balance through Camera Control. These are basic parameters for serious video recording. But in Final Cut Camera, the button basically only works for starting and stopping recording. This creates an absurd situation: Apple’s own professional camera app does not properly support Apple’s own camera button. The app already has manual controls, but they still have to be adjusted on the screen. Then what is the point of Camera Control in a “pro” camera app if it cannot give quick access to the most important camera settings? This is a very disappointing limitation. Please add full Camera Control support for manual focus, zoom, exposure, ISO/shutter speed, and white balance using the button and gestures. Right now, the integration feels incomplete and unfinished..QeewwuVersion: 2.2

Freezes on my iPhone 15 pro maxThis app is not usable in filming.. The app crashes constantly the grid lines disappear after i set them and after crash i keep having to reset them and stabilization i keep turning on. Can't use my volume shutter bluetooth remote the UI font on top of screen covers the settings icon which makes it hard to get into.. im sorry but i don't understand how people gives this anything more than a one star when its not usable for what it's supposed to do. Apple plz fix all these and ill revisit this.. the default camera app is better than this app.. apple just add external ssd support of video files other than raw big video files....Shaun lawrenceVersion: 1.0

Great idea, frequent snagsGreat idea for multi cam projects, but too frequently loses connection if cameras are not CLOSE. E.g. I could not shoot a volleyball game from mid—court and end line , but if cameras are close- works fine. Camera controls are intuitive and external storage works but only in ExFaT so format your drives first! I ended up not using Final Cut Pro for iPad multi-cam feature for sports, but did use Final Cut camera to shoot 4K 60 fps in ProRes and manually created a multi-cam edit in FCP. So this standalone app is fine for that, but unless your cameras are close- don’t bother shooting multi cam sports with FCP for iPad..CrapkingVersion: 1.2

Camera Zoom in not workingCan you guys fix this issue. This issue is when having stabilization on. When the video is on 720P and whatever frame rate, the zoom in begins at 1.3x and stops at 2x, and then goes to 2.5x without any zooming in, and stops at 6.3x, including the 1080P with whatever frame rate, the zoom in begins at 1.3x, then stops at 2x, and goes into 2.4x without any zooming, and stops at 4.5x, and the MM on these two have the issue, except the 4K, please fix this issue, I have been waiting for months and I need to use this for projects..XLProductionsVersion: 2.0.1

Lots of rough edgesGlad to have a lot of the versatility this all provides, but the fact that there is no preservation of settings is maddening. If I am using this app, I want manual focus, and focus peaking on. Give me the option to make that the default. Also, I’ve had instances of data loss because it said it was suddenly unable to save to the (absolutely still very available) internal storage, with no explanation. It’s an okay start, but there’s a long way to go..PulchersentioVersion: 1.0.2

Lacks basic featuresAs a video professional, this app lacks pretty much everything that I need. No setting locks, no shutter angle or speed settings, lacks being able to fine tune video settings, and the list goes on. If you’re into simple multi cam setups, I’m sure it’s fine. But it’s barely a step up from the built in camera apps. If you want a real legit camera for video work, down load the black magic camera. Waaaay better..Videopro222Version: 1.0

Not recommendedHard to find a photo mode. The app freezes screen often, of 15pro max..SilleyQuzVersion: 1.0

No subscriptionReason to use this one was one time buy . Not subscription model worst decision by apple.Sunny ThindVersion: 2.0.1

Fix the log2 selection!Amazing app, finally. But every time I pick Log2 for filming, it drops back to stupid HDR whenever I relaunch the app. Fix that for good sake people! It ruins the whole pipeline every time 😬.LeopardsnowVersion: 2.0

I it works only one days it won’t open anymore. However, I try to uninstall and download againThe app is worse ever it’s only work 1 day and it won’t open anymore, I trying to uninstall and download again but the same thing can’t open in my IPhone 16 pro max!.KawengdoVersion: 2.0

Missing output selectionThe output lacks the most basic function: it cannot manually select and enforce whether the storage is an external drive or an internal library. It must be able to manually pick and choose..AraAvvaliVersion: 2.0

TerribleThe advertised “connect to live” doesn’t work with any of my other devices.GgdsabkinkysVersion: 1.1

Missing vital featuresNeeds H624 option and the ability to ride audio levels with a volume slider during recording..Charbs20Version: 1.0

Constantly FREEZES, important features not thereWas excited about this, but it is unusable on my ProMax 13 512gb phone. It freezes randomly and when you go to playback, and makes it impossible to shoot with. Something wrong with the cache handling. You can only fix it by rebooting the phone, and then it happens again. Whoopsie Apple the app was not ready to release yet!! To be truly useful it needs timecode built in. And timecode which is shared with other bluetooth connected cameras. Wifi option would be great to for long distance recordings shared by people. To lead the pack, the app really needs to be like the new Blackmagic Camera App and offer something more along the lines of multi-camera shooting. And each stream to export to land in Final Cut Pro in sync on a timeline. You have to start somewhere. No doubt new updates will get us there. Freezing however is a complete deal breaker..SmaksmacVersion: 1.0

Constantly freezingCan get it to work. It is just freezing on iPhone 15 Pro Max. Just black screen and phone become really hot.RivadartVersion: 1.0

Solid two star appMaybe three stars. But in typical Apple fashion, too much is hidden or locked behind artificial constraints..OfaringVersion: 2.3
