Description

Protake brings the filmmaking experience of professional cinema cameras to your mobile devices.

No matter you're a daily vlogger, a commercial director, or a well-established filmmaker, you will benefit from Protake's features, including:

# [NEW] WI-FI VIDEO TRANSMISSION

· In the landscape orientation of AUTO and PRO modes, you can start the brand new Wi-Fi Video Transmission system.
· You can transmit the video from 1 "camera" to 4 "monitors" (yes, we're talking about iPhones and iPads).
· You can watch up to 4 "cameras" on 1 "monitor".
· You can wirelessly start and stop the recording of all "cameras".
· You can even monitor HDR and SDR video streams on the same screen.
· It's a ground-breaking end-to-end mobile recording and monitoring experience.
· It's brought to you by Protake.

# MODES

· AUTO mode: a mode optimized for vloggers and YouTubers, you can use it single-handedly.
· PRO mode: a mode designed for professional filmmakers. All the camera information and control settings are well aligned on the screen.
· DUAL mode: recording video with two cameras working at the same time. Recorded in one file as Picture in Picture or two files.
· PORTRAIT mode: with iPhone Pro and iPad Pro's LiDAR sensor and the devices' powerful processors, you can record "portrait mode video" with real-time blurred background.

# COLOR

· LOG: it's not only a genuine LOG gamma curve -- we strictly matched your mobile device's color to the industrial standard - ALEXA Log C.
· Cinematic Looks: we provided a dozen of cinematic looks for filmmakers -- the styles are categorized into Neutral Styles, Film Emulation (classic Kodak and Fuji cinema film), Movie Inspired (blockbusters and indie masterpieces), and ALEXA Looks.

# ASSISTANTS

· Monitoring tools: Waveform, Parade, Histogram, RGB Histogram, Audio Meter.
· Composition assistants: Aspect Ratios, Safe Area, Thirds, Crosshairs, and 3-axis Horizon Indicators.
· Exposure assistants: Zebra Strips,False Color, Exposure Compensation, Auto Exposure.
· Focus assistants: Focus Peaking and Auto Focus.
· Recording: Record Beeper, Record Flash, Volume Key Record.
· Zooming and Focusing: A-B Point.

# DATA

· Frame Rate Normalization: Mobile devices don't have perfect frame rate control, therefore, it's easy to get non-standard variable frame rate. Protake solves this problem fundamentally and makes strictly constant FPS of 24, 25, 30, 60, 120, etc.
· File-naming: All the video files saved by Protake use the standard naming system: Camera Unit + Reel Number + Clip Count + Date + Suffix. It's something like "A001C00203_200412_IR8J.MOV"... Sounds familiar?
· Metadata: Everything including device model, ISO, shutter angel, white balance, lens, connected accessories, location, are all well recorded in the file's metadata.
· Time code: We provided both options for you -- Free Run and Record Run. It's compatible with your cinema cameras.

I can only suggest two improvements

I like this app even more than the BlackMagic camera app. I find it easier to use, and I like the presets. I'd like to see three improvements: #1, when recording to an external drive, I'd like to keep the same file naming as files saved internally. Instead, the app creates a folder called "dcim" and saves the videos with just 0001, 0002, so I have duplicate file names. This also causes my Mac mini to treat the hard drive as a camera, so it doesn't allow me to import files into Final Cut Pro in an external location. #2, I like the button that hides camera controls and clears the edges of the screen. But I think stopping the recording should bring this back. I'd like it to hide when filming and come back when filming stops. Maybe a third auto-hide option could be added. #3 I'd like to find a desktop version that can be used as a monitor for other devices.

Far more than just a great value

Pros: Amazing manual controls; focus/ zoom/ exposure/ ISO. Color grading in recording with impressive selection of profiles including LOG and profile intensity. Support for 1.33 Anamorphic lenses, and a powerful AUTO camera mode for when you’re in a rush.

Cons: No control over bitrate quality for those who seek to export and professionally color correct/ color grade in post in their respective selected editors. Only major drawback I can see most people having.

Overall: I’d be nitpicking to put anything else against this camera app. The software is powerful and reliable, no crashing, interface is very easy to use and intuitive. All the features offered here versus the competition, this is far more than a value, it’s a steal. So if you don’t need the overwhelming deep dive into every control and detail like Filmic Pro, this camera app is for you.

Best Videography App just missing a few things

This is the best videography app that I have used and I have tried them all. The interface is something special it’s easy to use all controls fully at your fingertips without having to muddle around deep in settings and I would fully make this my only default video recording camera but their are a few things missing 1. Remote camera access having the ability to control and view what is being filmed from an Apple Watch and also another Apple product like an iPad is so helpful for those of us doing solo video shoots. 2. Being able to control multiple video devices through the interface as well being able to use 3 device signed into with the pro account is great but I can’t remotely view or start a recording. 3: Adding more filters would love to see an 8mm filter and even a vhs filter for the nice retro effects.
