Filmic Pro-Video Camera App Reviews

Keeps crashing on iPhone 7 Plus

Ive been a Filmic Pro user for several years, dating back to my iPhone 4 and have always loved how great the product was. However, I tried using it on my iPhone 7 Plus with the DJI Osmo Mobile gimbal on Thanksgiving to capture some videos of my family (since the DJI app is not that great and Filmic Pro offers more control). Originally, I had the settings set to save video to the app; however, after I saved several of the videos to my camera roll and deleted them from the app, I switched the app to save files directly to my camera roll and then I tried recording a long video (>15 mins in 4K) of my father carving the turkey. It stopped recording after 15 minutes and the screen on my iPhone froze and I couldnt get out of the app without powering down the phone and restarting it. Once I did this, I found that the large video file did not save to the camera roll and when I tried to launch Filmic Pro, it would load a black screen with the logo, stall for about 10 seconds, and then crash and return to the iPhones main screen. No matter how many times I try rebooting or restarting my iPhone, I cannot get the app to launch. I dont want to delete the app and reinstall because I think the video I took is still somewhere saved inside of it (when I checked the used storage for the app in the iPhones settings, it says 17.5 GB are already being used by the app and that is the only video that would be saved in there). FilmicPro, please fix this!! Ive loved and used your product for years and I really dont want to lose this family memory that I know is somehow still saved on my device but stuck inside of the app that I cant open!! This is normally a 5-Star product but with this huge glitch, I cant give it that full rating.

Completely Unusable

Crashes every single time I try to open the page to see my videos. Doesnt work in landscape, screen gets cut in half. Do they test this thing before the submit for review?

Much more utility from my OSMO - updated!

I decided to add to my review: if you have an OSMO and update the firmware you will have issues connecting to filmic. I wrote to their support and they explained a workaround that works fine and that they are putting out a fix very soon. Write them if you have a problem like I did. They can help. ------- For projects of any size I always turn to this app first. Best platform for overall quality in my workflow. The OSMO support in this version gives me some amazing control. The video tutorial was a nice add. Did not realize that they have a full series with tutorials for everything in the product.

Glich

When lunching on portrait mode and turn in landscape it cuts the screen in half. And i never save my presets of my settings, for example if i save 4k 100 mb when i open the app again it sets back to 1080. And also fix the DJI Osmo mobile new update wich pairs with bluetooth and now dont find it in the hardware settings.

Needs fixing

Love the app but ever since I updated the phone, the opening of the app is slower and it keeps crashing

Transgender Filmmaker Raves About FilmicPro

How fitting that the app which was used to shoot an award winning film about real life Transgender experiences is now used by an award winning Transgender filmmaker. I have shot well over ten short films using this app, including THE BRONX IN BLACK & WHITE and NEW YORK IN SLO-MO. I have used other apps to shoot other films. And although theyre good, I have to admit FilmicPro is outstanding and in a class all by itself. Simply stated, FilmicPro is a professional tool and I am always waiting their updates with anticipation since they tend to be loaded with lots of additional improvements.

Iphoneographer

I love this app. I got rid of my dslr because it shoots in high quality. The 60 fps is amazing.

I use it a lot

Lots of control over the camera. Watch app hasnt worked for me yet. But this app meets my needs. Even if you dont end up using it, its worth having and playing with so you are aware of what it can do with the camera, if you are using the iPhone as a serious camera. I have been using the iPhone 6s Plus camera as a semi-serious video camera for a little while now and this helps not only control the focus and resolution exactly how I need it for the current shoot, but it also keeps this stuff separate from my normal camera roll. Interface has a small learning curv, but I prefer that to the oversimplified stock photos app (which has its use as a simple and quick point and shoot app). Plus, you just *feel* like a pro when going through the toggles.

Crashes with new update

Starting to get a lot of crashes since last IOS update

Too many crashes

Every Time I use the setting to turn the image stabilizer off it crashes, every single time. Other than that its amazing, please please fix this problem because thats the reason I bought this app in the first place

Bad app

.I dont want anyone else to make the same Mashable I did by buying this app! This app looks exactualy like the original iPhone camera

Its alright.

You can do some awesome stuff with this app. However, I cant access my library anymore. It crashes every time. This should be fixed.

We are definitely in the future

We are definitely in the future and this is how I know. I have everything in my pocket I need to be a super creative filmmaker. There are no more excuses this is a wonderful app for beginners and pros to have fun with and share their stories with the world. The control this app gives you is amazing. And you can always take it to the next level by adding accessories to your device. The one thing I would like to see is to be able to control the app from my Apple Watch that I do not have yet. Can you make my dreams come true and get me that watch. Lol I mean make the watch and the app compatible please.

Very Disapointed

The biggest problem is that the auto focus hunts so much it makes the footage unusable. If I set a custom white balance it will change for no reason. I wish the way you set the custom settings was a click wheel instead of a slider. The slider is so sensitive. I want a 5000k white balance but landing in that is impossible so I settle for 5016k or something. It would be nice if the exposure information was displayed on screen at all times so I could be confident about the manual settings that are engaged. The audio seems to not be synced with the video when I import to premiere pro?

If it just worked, it would be incredible... but there are bugs everywhere

But you WILL lose footage as every few clips you record, you eventually WILL lockup and have a chance of losing the footage you were recording. Sometimes it refuses to stop recording... the record start/stop button just stops responding... and sometimes it just simply crashes. So if you want to use it professionally, you are opening and closing the app out of memory over and over just to get it to record clips.. and I only recommend recording two clips at a time before restarting the app.

So many crashes

I have an iPhone 6 Plus and the app worked great in the beginning, but now it crashes every time I try to review my videos or record a video. Plus, it doesnt allow me to save my videos to the camera roll or email them. Very frustrating.

iPhone camera MORE reliable.

Pros: Can lock the focal settings as well as the light settings so the camera doesnt continually adjust. Cons: Crashes constantly in playback of videos. Cannot precisely crop videos (must export them for precision cropping) 1 out of 10 videos has a problem with it (100% glitchy video) Cannot fully forward to the end of videos you are reviewing. In my opinion this will be a waste of time and money.

Library?

Love the app but it crashes every time I try to view my library. Would be 5 stars with this annoyance. Cant really use it

Unreliable

Ive had filmic pro for a while now and was impressed at first but have recently been consistently disappointed. I run filmic pro on an iPhone 6 and have been amazed at how many times the app has crashed while filming. A few consistent problems I am facing are; 1.) Whenever I attempt to shoot a 3k resolution video at 30fps, the app crashes, it has done this consistently since I bought the app many months ago. 2.) the app will not allow me to view my library half of the time. This happens consistently when the photo library has 20+ clips in it. 3.) The app has never allowed me to export clips to my photos library. 4.) recently, the app has not recorded full clips. what I mean is, when I filmed a clip (with HD 1080p resolution at 60 fps) the app did not record the whole clip and the last few seconds were cut off by a frozen frame (during playback). These are some absolutely terrible problems that the developers NEED to work out ASAP. So far I am not impressed with this app and am going to get another filming app for my projects unless some serious changes are made. What a waste of money.

Great app, crashes constantly

Love this app, but unfortunately crashes constantly when changing resolution and / or aspect ratio...
