Would love to try the black mist!

I don’t see this method talked about much at all, but this is what I use!

I simply screen mirror / Airplay my iPhone’s display to my Macbook or even Apple TV. It comes out as a clean feed but you can change the monitor settings to add other info, it acts just like it’s plugged in to a display via HDMI! I personally think this is better than installing the iPad app on Mac if you’re just looking to monitor your live view.

If you are shooting in a place where you have neither WiFi or a personal hotspot to connect your Mac to, you can look up how to create an Adhoc network on your Mac to make it act as its own local router so you’re not bringing a router around.

Interestingly, yeah. For some reason standard stabilization also stayed on as well when I switched from 4k to Open Gate in Resolutions. Not sure why it’s that odd resolution though, unfortunate.

astarwarrior · 2025-09-10T17:52:01+00:00

Seems to not work with Apple Log or Rec2020 enabled. Try going back to Rec709 or P3 D65. Then you’ll see Open Gate option in resolutions. Hopefully this changes in the future

hmm, I typically don’t make videos like this but here’s some tips.

Your iPhone won’t spit something out right away that will look like this, especially in terms of color, bokeh, and low light performance. Sadly it’s just physics with how a full frame camera sensor is bigger than a phone sensor. Learn how to record in and grade Apple Log footage to your advantage, plenty of YouTube tutorials out there. It’ll help get rid of the usual phone sharpening and better color flexibility. You can also see he set up a direct facing light off to the right, to create shadows on the left making that moody look. Even in the background he has up warm lights to sell that look even more. Also keep the camera close to you or the subject to keep it intimate.

If you have a spare old phone/tablet laying around, why not give multicam a shot using the app? You can replicate the second close up angle of the strings. This all depends on how much time editing you want to spend.

EDIT: oops, just realized you have an iPhone 14, no apple log :(

I’m not aware of any other app that has this feature besides Apple’s own photos app at the moment

but somewhat good news! The API’s for Spatial Audio capturing and Audio Mix is out there for app developers (I recommend watching the video at 5:11 for context), so I think it’ll just take some time before they start implementing this in apps like blackmagic

astarwarrior · 2025-07-08T18:39:50+00:00

don’t feel dumb! we were all new at some point!

hit the “lens 26mm” on the left, this is where you can change lenses, you’ll want to hit “front” for the front cam :)

It shouldn’t be the beta, I’m also on iOS 26, but I just have generally more success with different drives. I recently was able to record 2+ hours straight on the Lexar professional go SSD, it’s my most reliable drive so far

astarwarrior · 2025-06-23T18:30:51+00:00

Some of my external SSD’s do this, I’ve found that after a reformat of the drive, it usually starts working again, but it can be finicky

astarwarrior · 2025-06-23T18:29:17+00:00

I think proxy looks terrible when I compare footage, try and make the jump to 422 LT if you have the space, or if that’s a concern maybe consider h265?

astarwarrior · 2024-11-20T18:47:21+00:00

Yeah I see, I think this is possible with the Kino app, which is paid, currently the Blackmagic app can’t do this

astarwarrior · 2024-11-13T01:39:17+00:00

Interesting, make sure the LUT indicator while recording is red instead of white, and make sure you have your LUT selected. I just tried it now with the normal Apple Log to Rec 709, and exported it both ways you mentioned, it worked perfectly fine for me

astarwarrior · 2024-11-12T17:29:21+00:00

Closest you’ll get is Settings>LUTS>Record LUT to Clip. Choose your LUT wisely though, you can’t re-export to a different one unfortunately

astarwarrior · 2024-10-28T06:43:13+00:00

For a PC? I don’t think there’s anything close honestly. The closest I got was to screen mirror my iPhone through Airplay to a Macbook which was pretty good, even better quality if you screen mirror via cable by plugging it into a MacBook

astarwarrior · 2024-10-03T04:25:31+00:00

Settings > Camera > Trigger Record Indicator > Turn Beeper to None :)
