Final Cut Camera App Comments & Reviews
Final Cut Camera Positive Reviews
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!👍.Version: 1.0
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..Version: 1.0.2
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..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!.Version: 1.0.2
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.).Version: 1.0.1
Amazing!!!This app is absolutely amazing for filming! I’ve only used it as a standalone camera app, but I’m sure that it’s great with Final Cut Pro for iPad as well. I just discovered the stabilize feature in the app’s settings and it is an absolute game changer! The only change I can think of that would be very nice is if you didn’t have to turn on “Stabilize” every time and the settings were preserved from the last use. If you’re reading this, you definitely need to try it!.Version: 1.0.2
Great camera app for iPhone. Just needs one feature to make it perfectThis is the best pro camera app I’ve ever used. It’s simple and intuitive, unlike the Blackmagic camera app. It has all the features I could ask for. There’s just one issue that I’ve noticed. It doesn’t have a photo mode. It would be nice to be able to adjust the shutter, iso, focus, etc when taking photos as well. Otherwise, it’s a great app..Version: 1.0
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..Version: 1.0.2
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!).Version: 1.0
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..Version: 1.0
Great start!Intuitive. Powerful. I’m committed to using this. Three issues: ProRes videos aren’t saving. It only tells me after I stop recording with an error. Says I have 50 minutes of capacity before I start. The native camera app says I only have 1 minute and I need to “free resources.” Maybe that feature needs to be added to Final Cut Camera? I’ve lost a lot of footage. I’d love to see cinematic mode added as an option. Would love to start and stop recording with live multicam without needing all the cameras to stop. Especially since we need to stop recording to switch lenses. Being unable to record at all until everyone stops is a problem..Version: 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..Version: 1.0
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..Version: 1.0
Almost perfectThis app is almost perfect (ignoring how it’s kinda laggy but that’s not the important part rn) I would LOVE this app to have a generic camera that was fully customizable with controls for iso, shutter speed, focus, etc. But great work Apple I finally can use the full power of my camera at least for videos.Version: 1.0.1
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 !!.Version: 1.0.1
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..Version: 1.0.2
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.Version: 1.0
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..Version: 1.0
Needs a few thingsI love this app! The UI and controls are so smooth and easy to use. The focus peaking is hands down the easiest I’ve ever used. The two things Apple really needs to add are: 1. A histogram. The overexposure indicator is nice, but it’s also hard to tell if you’re underexposed or if you’re barely crushing your highlights or shadows. A histogram would easily fix this issue 2. Why can’t I adjust my audio levels in the app? Yes I know I can adjust it on the mic itself but it should at least be an option. With these two features, this app would easily replace Blackmagic or Kino..Version: 1.0.1
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..Version: 1.0
Awesome And Free! One thing though…This is amazing it feels so professional the default camera app always felt very underpowered and the full manual control over the lenses is amazing but I kinda wish it could take photos since the manual control over the lenses would make photos look amazing.Version: 1.0.2
Best I’ve usedThis is the best camera app I’ve used on the iPhone. Big plus is that it doesn’t seem to overheat the iPhone like some others. The nerd controls are also super easy to find and use on the fly. Dials the iPhone camera up to 11!.Version: 1.0
Near-Perfect Simplicity: Just Missing Gimbal SupportThe Final Cut camera delivers exactly what you’d expect from Apple—clean, intuitive, and effortlessly elegant. It’s a breeze to use and nails the essentials with style. The only thing holding it back from perfection? Full compatibility with our gimbals. Once that’s added, this app will be unbeatable!.Version: 1.0.2
High potentialOne bug i experienced was the fps reverting to a different setting in between takes, resulting in clips being filmed at the wrong frame rate. pretty frustrating. also the app gets slow/laggy the more videos are saved within the app, but no issue if you just save them to camera roll and delete from the app. the layout, intuitiveness, and functionality are top tier. far better than any other camera app. hopes and wishes would be tint control and most importantly, the ability to use multicam on desktop!.Version: 1.0.1
Less controlThis camera app is missing a few things. Not to mention, it’s buggy when loading media previously recorded, which slows down the post process workflow. But the missing things like LUT options, a larger set of shutter speed options, and no LOG. As a Fcpx user, I’d rather use the Blackmagic app for the phone..Version: 1.0.2
Option to switch between front and back camera while filmingOption to switch between front and back camera while filming.Version: 1.0
NOT READYThank for listening to the community and fix the issues with the front cámara thing like that make me feel like we are important 5 star just for it Thanks and keep making apps like this.Version: 1.0.2
Dropped frames and stutters.Kinda disappointed. This is a super nifty app and lots of awesome features like recording to external media and live multi cam with Final Cut for iPad, but it keeps stuttering and dropping frames even when recording to internal iPhone storage. I hope they work out the bugs because this is a really cool app that I will use daily..Version: 1.0.2
Amazing entry by Apple!This app is incredible and works seamlessly with iPhone. Super easy and intuitive to manage all lenses right from the app. Flawlessly connects to iPad and other iPhones for multicam mode! I hope they add slow-mo support soon!.Version: 1.0
Very buggy!For the most part I like the app! Pretty simple to use and adjust settings. I like it better than the stock camera app. But it is very buggy! My biggest problem is I can not view any of my videos outside of my home. They show up in my library but will not play. Very strange!.Version: 1.0.2
Please add an Apple Watch Remote!I’d love an Apple Watch remote for FCP camera. It’s so useful (with the iPhone camera app) for self-recording things like auditions and other self made video content. Filmic Pro had a good one too. Please and thank you!.Version: 1.0
IPhone 16 buttonNeed an update for the app to allow the new camera button to function with it, rather than just the built-in camera app? As it stands, the button feels somewhat redundant. Thank you!.Version: 1.0.2
Same something for manual cameraLoving this app but they should also make something for the manual camera or have the option for capturing photo.Version: 1.0
IPhone does it all nowWith my iPad in hand, I love being able to dial in my setting on my iPhone without having to worry about cumbersome 3rd party hardware and interfaces. Seamless integration with my Apple-based workflow..Version: 1.0
Focus Peaking doesn’t stay onOtherwise a very effective and simple to use tool..just what you’d expect from Apple. Anyone who takes video should have this app..Version: 1.0
Love the app but needs one critical feature!We need to be able to take photos while taking videos! This is such a critical feature for me!.Version: 1.0
It’s good, but needs more.It is a really good app. It lets me fine tune the settings that I want to. The only thing that I think needs to be implemented is a photo mode. I know this is a video recording app, but a photo mode would make this app just a little bit better..Version: 1.0
Love it, but a request if possibleI love this app. Makes editing/filming so much easier. But I would love if a pause button while filming was available.Version: 1.0.1
Nice to get finer control over the camera, but the app quality isn't great.No haptics, strangely slow animations, and fewer options compared to BlackMagic Cam. Would love to see a little more love put into this, if only bc the logo is so pretty--make me want to use it!.Version: 1.0.2
Please add an Apple Watch remote control capability!!!The camera app is great. Just NEEDS an Apple Watch remote control so I can see myself before I press record!!! Thank you..Version: 1.0
Seulement des vidéosL’application est bien, mais il faudrait avoir l’option de prendre des photos et non seulement des vidéos..Version: 1.0
Please include Apple Watch controlsAs someone who films alone from a tripod, having an Apple Watch as a viewfinder and remote for basic controls is extremely useful. Please add this support in the future! I'd love to be able to use this camera for everything I do..Version: 1.0
Add iPad supportI love the features in this app, but please format the app so it looks better on the iPad.Version: 1.0.2
Not bad.So much better than the default camera app, but I still think that the Blackmagic camera app is better..Version: 1.0
Great uiThumbnail previews not loading. I can see which videos are which after i shoot them..Version: 1.0.2
Needs improvementTried it out works great but I don’t understand why there isn’t a photo option. 14PM.Version: 1.0.1
Black magic cam is betterI hope you look forward in the app Blackmagic cam and add the same futures that the app has to Final Cut..Version: 1.0.1
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..Version: 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..Version: 1.0
🎉10/10🎉Better then capcut you have to try this 🥳.Version: 1.0
Missing key featuresDoes not let you directly record to iPhone storage. There is no indicator if the audio source is still Bluetooth or not. The name of the audio source should be displayed in recording screen..Version: 1.0
Nice appClean, free and easy to use!.Version: 1.0
So Surprised To See This!I love having a camera with pro controls and an Apple feel. Someday I'd love to see support for taking photos and a setting to retain the settings applied in the app. Otherwise, this is great to see..Version: 1.0
ITS FINALLY HEREI have been waiting for a camera app with manual controls from Apple and I can’t believe it’s finally here! This was the highlight announcement for me at the 2024 iPad Pro event lol.Version: 1.0
