What's up guys. My name's Brandon and final cut camera is here. This is a new free application from Apple that just launched today. And this is going to bring professional level video controls and capabilities to the iPhone and the iPads camera. This is basically what I've been waiting on for many, many years. Now it's not built in to the camera application. It is in its own standalone application. So in this video, I'm going to be showing you how to best use the application to take better video, how the new multicam feature works with final cut pro for iPad and more. So first off, this application is available for every iPhone running iOS 17.4 and above. Now I do have this running on iOS 18 as well, and it runs perfectly fine on the beta. Okay. So going into the application, you will notice a very familiar look. It looks very similar to the default iOS camera application. And that of course is because this is coming from Apple themselves. So it is a very familiar look and we're going to start from the top to the bottom here. So up in the top left, we're going to have our multicam view or where we can connect to the live multicam, which we will show that here in a moment. I do think that is one of the big differentiating factors from this versus black magic, filmic pro and all the others, which we'll talk about later on uptop in the middle. When you tap on that, you get the option to change your resolution, your FPS, all of that. So we can change between ATVC pro res HDR and SDR four K seven 20 or 10 80. And then we can change from 24 to 25 30 and 60 FPS. Also this overlay on the screen will show us how much time we can record. So we have about five hours and 43 minutes based on our current setup. Now, if I were to switch this to Apple pro res, you'll notice that goes all the way down to seven minutes. So keep an eye on that. That's going to tell you how much video you can record based on your settings. And then over here on the right underneath of the settings icon, you can see we have our audio meter. So it's going to track the audio coming from the source of which at this point is my camera and up in the top, right, we have a settings icon. So this is just another area where you can access those settings along with some additional settings. We have our codec, our formats, we have our color and dynamic range below that we have stabilization. So you could turn on or off stabilization and you will notice a minor crop to make up for the stabilizing of the video. We have mirror front camera, so you can mirror the look of the front camera. Then over here we have tools. So you can turn on a grid overlay and you can choose if you want that to be square or four by three. So you could change the aspect ratio of the grid. So that's what square looks like. And that is what four by three looks like. And then below that we have our overexposure indicator. So if you turn that on, it will notify you via this red indicator when a shot is overexposed. So since I have bright lights on right now and a lot of whites, pretty much the whole frame is being overexposed since I am in auto mode right now. And then below that we have a focus peaking. So if I go to focus on a subject, you will see that we have the green outline that shows our focus speaking as the indicator color. And then we also have the audio tab where you can change the input source from this device, which is the iPhone to maybe something like a lavalier mic that you have connected via Bluetooth or through the USB-C or lightning ports. So down here at the bottom is where I can see myself spending most of my time and this application where I'm going to adjust it for manual controls. And that's because with this little magnifying glass with the plus, when you tap on that, that allows you to zoom out or zoom in on a subject. And you can see it has a really slow kind of cinematic zoom to it. You can see the zoom range right here on the left. And then on the right, you can change between the lenses. So you could also do that right here above the record button. So since I have a 15 pro max, I have three different lenses to choose from. So we have a 13 millimeter, which is going to be the ultra wide lens. And then we have the 24 millimeter lens, which is the main lens. And then we have the 120 millimeter lens, which that is the telephoto lens. Now what's interesting is when you switch to these lenses, it's not going to switch back. Like if you have 120 millimeter sets, you better make sure that object or the subject is far away from the camera at 120 millimeter equivalent. And that's because it's not going to switch back to another camera. Like for example, if I go to the ultra wide lens right here, and I try to zoom in a lot on a subject, it's not going to look very good because it's using the ultra wide lens to zoom in. It's not going to switch to another lens just because I want to zoom in 10 X on the ultra wide lens. And then over here, we have this up arrow or you can simply swipe up like you can in the default camera application. And down here in the bottom left, we have our white balance. So when you go into here, you will see a couple of different options. So we can change our white balance on this little slider right here. So you can get a manual white balance. And also if you tap on where it says fixed, that's where you can change the white balance between a few different presets. So you have automatic fixed, and then you have daylight, shadow, cloudy, tungsten, fluorescent, and a flash. And then next to that, we have our exposure options. So we have an exposure wheel right here where we can change the exposure manually. And then if you tap on where it says auto, this is where you can change the shutter speed as well. So you have the shutter speed and the ISO also in here. So if I tap on shutter, I can change the shutter speed down. You can see we even have a one 48th right there. So instead of just going to 50, you can go between 48 and 50 and then back down to 33 and then up to 60, 96 and so on. So if you're shooting in 24 FPS and you want to have a shutter speed of one 48, you can choose that right there. I'm going to stay at one 60 since I am shooting in at 30 FPS, but from here you can also change the ISO. So we have the ISO right there. You can change that. You can make that really high or as low as 64 if you're doing it manually. And then you have autofocus right here. So you could set a manual focus if you would like to. So once you slide over that will set it to manual focus automatically. And if you tap on manual, that will switch it back over to automatic and it will change the values in real time based on what it's focusing on as well. So if you wanted to keep it around that area, you can see the values changing. And then if you want to lock the orientation, you can do that either left, right, or portraits. And then you also have your options for your front facing camera, which are basically the same except for just not as many options. So when you shoot a video, you'll notice that the interface looks again, very similar to what we see in the default iOS camera application. So this turns into a stop button up top. We have our duration of that video. And when you press on done, that will save it over here in the left. So this is not actually saved into the camera roll by default. You will need to save this to the camera roll by default. So you can see there's a couple of options down here on the bottom left. So when you click on this right here, that's going to do a media transfer over to the final cut pro for iPad application. And this ties into the whole multicam feature, which we'll talk about here in a moment. But if you want to save this, of course you just tap on the share icon and you will be able to save the video. It will also show how big of a file size that video is. Now, if you have an iPhone 15 pro or pro max and newer, you can record it straight to an external storage device. So I have an SSD right here that plugs in via USB-C. And once you plug that in, you will see down here, right below the record button. We now have an option to save directly to that device, or you can also toggle on to just record straight to your internal storage device. So you can select that right there. You can do it for an SSD or even an SD card. If you have a USB-C adapter for that SD card, if you plug that in, you will see the same option right below the record button. Okay. So we have final cut pro for the iPad opened up. You do need to make sure that your final cut pro is up to date because this update also was just released today. So we're going to go to new project. We're going to new project. We'll skip this section right here, but you can see we have the new option there for record with live multicam. Now, if you press on that, it's going to instantly show you the different angles and the different devices that you can connect to multicam. Now multicam can connect up to four iPhones and you monitor all of those iPhones. You can control them straight from the iPad itself. Now this does work over wifi. So you do need to have all of those iPhones on the same wifi network. Okay. So it shows our known devices here. So it uses our iCloud account to pull up automatically the known devices. So we're going to select the ones that we have the final cut pro camera application opened up on. So you can usually tap on these, but for whatever reason, it's not working for me. So we'll just go to the little eye right here and connect to device. So there we go. We have it pulled up right there. We'll do the same for the 15 pro max here. We'll connect to device this way. Now 15 pro max main, I'll see if this one connects. Okay. So all of them are added now. So there we go. We have all four angles added in here. So we're going to have our options here. If you want to change the resolution, the orientation frame rates pro res, you have your HDR or SDR. I'm going to switch to SDR. You can have this option here for anyone. It can start recording. So any connected device can control all device recording and then camera indicators is something I would definitely recommend having on it's off by default. This shows the recording time left and the battery level for every device that is connected. So we have four different camera angles here. So we have two that are pretty similar, pretty much the same. We have this angle right here, and then this angle right here. So two closeups and two kind of far back shots right there. So what's really interesting is you can see, again, you have the different numbers right here. So you can see angle one, two, three, and four, you can change the audio for these. So if you want to do audio monitoring, you can see that we have our audio levels right there. These three dots will show you the option to rename or rotate. So if you want to rotate a specific, uh, you know, camera angle, you can do that there as well. And if you want it to make one of these really big, you can do that. So we just go to the maximize and you also get additional options here where you can change between the different lenses and all of that. So you can basically remote control, you know, these different cameras that are connected. So if I wanted to switch this to the 120 millimeter lens, I can do that on the fly through my iPad, even though that's that iPhone right there, I don't have to touch it to change some pretty advanced, you know, functionality of that camera. So that is awesome to have built in right here. So we're going to go to record. So we're now going to record from all four camera angles. You could also change the focus. As you can see right here, I can change the focus on all of these different cameras. So we're just going to record this for about 15 seconds. So I can show you guys how this looks when you actually edit this in the final cut pro application, because it is awesome. I've never seen a multi-cam editing so easily done. So we're going to end this recording and now we're going to tap on done right here. And now we have our clips right here, our multi-cam clip right here. We're going to simply drag this down into the timeline. And you'll notice that we only have one camera angle that it shows right here. So to get to the multi-cam view, you just go to multi-cam right here. We're going to change this volume. So I don't hear myself. So we're going to change the volume and go back to multi-cam. So from here, if you wanted to switch between the different angles, you could just simply tap right there. Now to actually change this on the timeline, you'll probably already notice that it did make a cut right there. And that's because let's just say we want to change the angle every three seconds. So now we're on three seconds. If I simply switch to a different angle, it's going to cut and switch the angle automatically in the timeline. So now if we go to six seconds, for example, and I want to change to this iPad pro cover, I'll just select that. So now for the next three seconds or whatever, I'm going to have that angle. So now if we go to nine seconds and I switched to this angle, it's going to switch there as well, just simply by tapping on the angles down here. And if we preview that, you can see how it is switching between these different angles. So let's say we want to go back to this closer up view of myself. We can do that. And then one last time, we'll go back to the closeup of the iPad case. So there we go. And now we can go ahead and play this from the top and you'll see how it switches between the different angles right there. So it's smooth and it's so simple to change this. And it's actually going to show, it's going to highlight the angle down here as well. When it switches to that clip and you might also notice that we have this little S down here, and that is for the audio. So if you want to change the audio output, I think most people will probably do solo that way. If you have a, you know, a lavalier mic or an external mic that you're recording your voice from, you might want to have this set to solo and for, for the device that it's connected to for the device that the lab mic is connected to, and they'll probably want it to be muted for every other, you know, camera, unless you're doing like an interview style, then you will want to have this be, you know, auto switch or just on. So you can see the different options there. But for my instance, I'm just going to have all of these muted and I'm only going to have one, the main audio output. So it's only going to play audio from this specific phone, which is the 15 plus. And if you didn't want to split the clips right here, for whatever reason, you do also have the option over here on the right to simply switch only. So it says tap a thumbnail to make it the active angles. If you want to manually cut everything up yourself, you can choose that as well. And then of course, if you want it to add different effects, transitions, titles, all of that, you can go ahead and add those right in here. So we want to zoom and pan. I'll just add that in there and let's see how that looks. It probably won't look great, but we can change that in here and the new final cut pro for iPad. So that's how the different angles look. So multicam is awesome and it's way easier than I even imagined it would be. And it's awesome that you can start editing this as well before the files are fully transferred to your iPad. So that is a first look at the final cut camera application for the iPhone and also a look at the multicam functionality in the new final cut pro for iPad. So I think this is awesome. I do think I'm going to start using this over applications like black magic and film at pro. Now I know it's not quite as, you know, feature rich as those applications, but keep in mind, this is still version 1.0 so I'm sure it will get better with time. And plus to me, the UI is far better than it is on other third party professional video applications. So I will be using final cut camera and it is free. There are no subscriptions or anything since it is through Apple themselves. So let me know in a comment down below what you think of the new final cut camera application for iPhone and also how it integrates with the iPad for final cut pro for iPad and multi-view. Could that be the killer feature of the iPad that we've been waiting for for a while? Probably not, but for a certain demographic, it might be, but let me know your thoughts down there in the comments. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one.
