Filmic Pro is a cinema camera application that transforms smartphones and tablets into professional-grade recording devices. Version 7 features a redesigned interface and manual control capabilities that allow users precise command over capture parameters during recording.
The application provides three distinct focus and exposure modes, each accessible through manual sliders that govern ISO, shutter speed, zoom, and light value independently. An automated rack focus system enables dynamic focus transitions during recording, while a corresponding zoom automation handles lens transitions without requiring manual adjustment between shots. The interface includes Quick Action Modals that surface key functions, and an Action Slider grants real-time control over ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and gamma curves during active recording. Users can map custom functions to a dedicated button, simplifying access to frequently used controls.
Filmic Pro supports both Log and Flat gamma curves for color grading flexibility, alongside a suite of real-time film looks applied during capture. The application captures video in multiple formats: 8-bit HEVC, 8-bit H.264, and 10-bit HDR depending on device capability. Frame rate options span standard video rates (24, 25, 30, 48, 50, 60 fps) and high-speed options (60, 120, 240 fps), enabling slow-motion and fast-motion effects. Time lapse mode extends temporal flexibility. Output is available in eight aspect ratios, including standard cinema formats like 16:9, 2.76:1, and 1:1 for vertical or square compositions. The app maintains both vertical and landscape orientation support during recording.
Audio capabilities include manual control over input gain levels and headphone monitoring, allowing users to assess sound quality in real-time. Audio frame rates can be set independently of video to match project requirements.
The live analytic suite displays Zebras for exposure zones, False Color grading to assess tonal distribution, Focus Peaking to confirm sharp focus zones, and histogram and waveform displays for detailed exposure analysis. A framing guide overlay assists with composition, while image stabilization smooths handheld captures. Resolution downsampling provides flexibility for lower-bandwidth workflows.
Physical integration options include clean HDMI output for external monitoring and recording, 35mm lens adapter support, anamorphic desqueeze functionality at 1.33x and 1.55x magnification, and gimbal compatibility with Zhiyun Smooth models (4, 5, 5s, Q3, Q4), DJI Osmo Mobile devices (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), and the Movi Cinema Robot. Horizontal flip capability accommodates different mounting configurations. Remote control via a secondary device enables camera operation from a distance.
Cloud-synced capture presets allow users to save and restore camera configurations across sessions, streamlining repeated setups. A Clip Management System enables naming and organization of recorded footage directly within the app. Camera to Cloud integration facilitates content transfer to external storage systems.
Subscription options include weekly and yearly billing cycles. Payment is charged upon purchase confirmation, and subscriptions automatically renew unless disabled at least 24 hours before the current billing period ends. When a subscription is cancelled, the app remains active until the end of the current billing period, but no refund is issued for that period. Any portion of a free trial that remains unused is forfeited upon purchasing a subscription. Not all features are available on all devices, with support varying by device hardware and capabilities.
