9to5Mac on LumaFusion adding a full multicam editor to LumaFusion for iPhone and iPad

From Fernando Silva at 9to5Mac. LumaFusion is really the first normal video editing program on the iPad that works like AVID and Premiere Pro (Not Final Cut Pro) and it just keeps getting better and more powerful. I have edited on it and it was well worth using, though of course I love keyboard editing the most, so the iPad will always be a second class editor.

No Film School on how you should use ProRAW vs. ProRES on an iPhone

James DeRuvo from No Film School has a great article on ProRAW for Photos and ProRES for Video on the iPhone. The one thing that doesn't get touched on, which always drives me nuts about the iPhone is not only that the video frame rate tends to drift, but also that there is a 24FPS but not 23.976. I know 24 is film, but most people shoot everything for video which is 23.976 in the US, and most of Apple's stuff should be for TV.

MacWorld on the A16 of the iPhone 14 Pro is really an A15+

Jason Cross at Macworld has a really interesting article on the new A16 for the iPhone 14 Pro. It seems it isn't even really a 4 nanometer process, but an enhanced 5 Nanometer Process, just running faster with faster memory, but with none of what was expected for the A16. And if the true A16 is delayed, it also might explain why the M2 for the MacPro is delayed and why Apple might not hit the 2 year mark on the Mac Pro moving to Apple Silicon.

ProVideoCoalition on How to Troubleshoot HDR iPhone Footage in Premiere, According to Adobe

Michelle DeLateur at ProVideo Coalition has an excellent article, "How to Troubleshoot HDR iPhone Footage in Premiere, According to Adobe" It is a problem with tone mapping, which is currently handled best by the beta. This isn't necessary until you run into it, and go wait, it doesn't look like this on my iPhone, but that has an HDR screen, so...

TechCrunch says Congress should secure the app store supply chain and I agree

Jorge Grueul has a great article To protect consumers, Congress should secure the app store supply chain. I so agree. The bills currently proposed do nothing to protect consumers from malware, congress people have so little tech knowledge. If we have unfettered access to an iphone with apps installing off a link, all cell phones will be compromised in a single day. If they just get rid of the walled garden and allow easy unfettered install, every iPhone will be compromised so quickly it is a joke. And of course the App stores need more regulation, as how could Apple let through so many bogus apps? We need security standards on new app stores that apply to all app stores.

Nick Lear at ProVideoCoalition on Using the iPhone 13 Pro as your B Cam

PVC again for the win, damn this is a great site. Nick Lear has an awesome article on using an iPhone 13 as a B Cam and the pitfalls it entails and how he got it to work. And the things you don't realize, like yes you can and should shoot with ProRES, but if you do you can't shoot in LOG in Filmic Pro and the possibility of using Cinematch to help with balancing.

Jan Kaiser info on iPhone 13 Cinematic Mode

Now I saw this twitter thread thanks to Scott Simmons at ProVideoCoalition and this post. And here is Jan Kaiser's eskocz channel on YouTube. https://twitter.com/jankais3r/status/1442466943697489923 Now you need to look at the thread and see more than just the first post. Wow, I am blown away that the depth map is only 320x180, and only works so close up. I was also wondering why the Pro didn't use Lidar to enhance the depth map, but while it shows allot more depth than the cinematic mode, it is also fluttery and noisy, so I can see that it would cause some serious issues in a depth map. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5ZsdgoT6aA And the true depth on the front camera would be useless for a depth map. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74Fh8bhqGFk Between the 1080 30p and low resolution depth map I think I am OK with skipping the iPhone 13 and seeing what the 14 will offer. The technology is impressive, but I want to see future generations.
