There are so many great things about this app but the footage is often corrupted at several points where the audio continues but the video freezes. The footage for those parts is unusable. This is becoming very frustrating as I am a teacher trying to film lessons for remote learning on a tight schedule and it is seriously upsetting that I have to re-film entire segments of lessons because of this issue. Also, the audio gain slider is way to small and attempting to slide it often activates the home screen handle/bar. It would make more sense to integrate it into the actual audio levels meter on the right hand side. (Yes I’ve checked my storage. It’s fine. I’m on an iPhone Xr)

As an amateur videographer Filmic pro was once an amazing app. I paid for it outright like so many others and used it maybe once a month or so for the occasional feature, and to be honest mostly for Anamorphic desqueezing and the support of an external mic input. To then re-open my app after a while to find that it’s now a subscription model at an astounding A$4.99 per week it is prohibitively expensive. Particularly as there’s no service here, no ongoing data hosting or anything like that and all the features are already contained in the app. It used to be that this app was all about helping people be creative, that is what made it a world leader. It seems now it’s just about how much money it can squeeze out of users. As for Filmic legacy, well it’s nice that some of us older users get to use what we paid for but we all know how this works, having seen it time and time again. It is only a matter of time till we lose updates for that and then newer devices don’t support it etc. What a shame, but I’m sure I’ll find another app that does what I need very quickly. There’s plenty more out there. Oh how the mighty have fallen to greed.

The app has some good features but honestly there are so many trade offs you have to make that it is very frustrating. Granted some of those limitations may come from the phone’s abilities/APIs (iphone 11 pro) but nevertheless it is frustrating because at the end of the day the app doesn’t really deliver. Got the app to be able to get manual settings. Shooting manual is supposed to give you consistency across your footage...The white balance setting works well, the manual exposure works well, both have a great user interface. Well that said it changes shutter speed by itself at times even though it is “locked”. Presets are good but some settings are lost when you change lens. Even if you rotate the phone it looses the settings. Log profile is good for dynamic range but is only supported at low frame rates and/or low resolution so no consistency across footage if you want to mix it with slow mo. Really not worth the extra money. For me the worst thing is image stabilisation though. It just doesn’t work well. I thought something was wrong with me holding the phone on my shoulderpod that made me get so jittery footage (it’s like it skips to catch up with the overall movement) but then I tried the native app and it is so buttery smooth there... so it’s definitely Filmic lacking seriously. Moment app is no better, by the way, it’s the native app that is way ahead, but hey isn’t filmic pro supposed to be the one ahead?I suppose it may depend on your project, it may work if you take your time and shoot static but for action it’s just not very good.
