Apple added a USB-C port to the iPhone 15 series phones and now for the first time using the 15 Pro or Pro Max models you can record Apple ProRes Log video (and/or audio) externally using the USB-C, and this is a big deal. Shooting Apple ProRes Log allows you to record high-quality footage that rivals much more expensive traditional cameras. It also bypasses (for the most part) all the notorious processing that Apple does to its standard video (over sharpening and too much dynamic tone mapping). While that processed look is fine for everyday kind of video like for social media, etc. it's not ideal for anything more involved like YouTube videos, short films, corporate video, etc. where you typically want to do your own color correction & grading in post-production. Now the iPhone 15 Pro/Max can easily be used as a B camera on higher-end shoots or as an A camera on other indie and lower budget projects. And recording externally via the USB-C not only unlocks shooting 4K 60FPS Apple Log, it also allows us to expand the storage and then quickly transfer that footage to a computer for editing - or even edit from the SSD you recorded to.
So yeah, pretty amazing stuff, especially for a camera you carry in your pocket and have with you all the time.
What you're learn in the course:
- How to record Apple Log video (4K 60, 30, 24) externally to SSDs
- How to record to other media such as CFast 2.0 or SD cards
- How to do this in the Native iPhone camera & Blackmagic Camera app
- Using other USB-C accessories to record sound
- And how to record external video & audio simultaneously using a USB-C hub
The phrase "game changer" is used a lot, but in this case it really is accurate as these new USB-C features in combination with Apple Log can turn an iPhone into a truly professional video camera.
