Cinema camera and lens
Choose a cinema camera, its recording mode and format, and your lens set, anamorphic included. The viewfinder shows that field of view, and photos and video keep it.
Frame
Your camera, your lens, your frame.
Honest field of view
If the lens is wider than the iPhone can see, you get black borders instead of a wider angle that was never captured.
Framelines you can change later
Show several framelines at once, each with its own matte, for example 2.39:1 inside an open-gate frame. They are not burned into the original, so you can change them later in the gallery.1
Front camera framing
The front camera keeps your camera and focal length, in photo and video. Useful when the actor holds the phone, or for a pre-shoot of a selfie-style scene.
Sun
The sun on every shot.
Saved with every photo and video
The sun's position and the shooting direction are saved with every shot. Open any shot later and show the sun, even if you never looked at it on location.
Another date, on a map
In the gallery and on the map, see the sun and the camera direction together, also for another date.
Through the whole take
In video the sun follows the camera move frame by frame, and the map shows how far the camera turned.
Live in the viewfinder
Tap SUN for the day's path over the live image, with hour marks, sunrise and sunset. Hold SUN to pick another date and time. If the compass is off, line the drawing up with the real sun.
Video
Built around focal length.
Focal length through the zoom
Zoom during a take and the focal length is recorded as it changes. Playback shows it frame by frame and the export can burn it in, so every take tells you its zoom range.
A zoom rocker you can tune
Set the top speed, up to a crash zoom, and the response curve.
Stabilisation that keeps the focal
Standard, Cine and Cine Extended, from a handheld feel to a smooth move. The extra crop is compensated, so the frame matches the focal length you chose.
High frame rates
Slow motion at whole multiples of the project frame rate, with focal lengths matched. Rates and stabilisation depend on the iPhone and the lens.
Photo
Clean files, or a look.
Process Zero
One RAW frame developed in the app, without Apple's multi-frame processing, noise reduction or sharpening: the sensor's own noise and contrast. Apple ProRAW is there too.
Depth and lens looks
Depth photos with bokeh presets such as Modern cine, Vintage swirl, Soap bubble and Anamorphic 2×. Change focus, aperture and the look after the shot.2
On set
For the scout and the crew.
Tape measure
Measure distances in AR, then shoot a photo or video with the measurements in the frame.
Live view for the crew
Share the viewfinder over Wi-Fi or the iPhone's own hotspot. The crew watches in a browser on any device. Or stream over SRT to your own server.
Also: projects and locations, monitoring LUTs, film grain and halation, ProRes and Apple Log on supported iPhones, upload to your cloud storage.
Scans
Scan the location. Plan inside it.
Room and splat
Scan an interior with LiDAR. Film Gate builds the room with walls, windows, doors, furniture and dimensions, and a 3D splat, on the phone.
Sun through the windows
Turn on the sun and see how light and shadows fall through windows and doors at any time and date.
Walk with a virtual camera
Walk through the scan with your camera, lenses and framelines, and shoot stills and video inside it.
Stand-ins
Place people in the scene, set their height and pose them.
Shots find their place
Photos and video taken at the location are placed in the scan, so you can see where each frame was shot. For video, the camera path is drawn.
Take it further
Export the scene with cameras and the splat for Unreal or Blender.
Scanning needs an iPhone with LiDAR (Pro models).
