Filmic Pro, once gold- standard for Android videotape recording, may face competition with free Blackmagic Camera app on the horizon.
still, you ’re presumably used to disappointment, If you record videotape on an Android phone. For times, software support for cameras in the Android ecosystem has been a involved mess of contradictions and incompatibilities. And the third- party apps you can use have been further of an afterthought than a duly developedapplication.However, you ’re nearly clearly better off with an iPhone, If you need to record videotape on your phone. But all that may be about to change thanks to a new app from Blackmagic previewed at NAB Las Vegas this week.
Premium videotape recording is coming to Android
Blackmagic is the company behind the largely popular( and free) DaVinci Resolvenon-linear videotape editing software. Back in September it released a free app — Blackmagic Camera — for the iPhone, and now it's eventually bringing it to Android( via MrAlexTech). still, do n’t get your expedients up just yet, because there’s no word on when it'll be released to the public or which phones it'll be available on, If you ’re a budding Android videographer.
There’s not a lot to see from the five- nanosecond videotape posted on Sunday, but we can see the app running on a Samsung S24( which one is n’t clear) and a Google Pixel 8 Pro. The app will only be available on a many phones to start with and that’s because software support for third- party cameras on Android is a bit of a disaster. Phone makers frequently lock their cameras' most important features down from third- party inventors, forcing them to give an inferior experience. Worse, indeed though there are standard APIs for OEMs to apply on their phones to make it easier for inventors to pierce the camera tackle, there is no obligation for them to do so.
For phones that will support the Blackmagic Camera app, druggies can anticipate to have an app at a near- professional position. I ’m not completely good to expound on all the features available in the app( go to Reddit for that) but in the videotape you can see that you can change your lens, FPS, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and shade. And, of course, it'll sync with DaVinci Resolve on your desktop to make moving clips between bias easier.
