The iPhone 16 Pro boasts impressive video capabilities, cementing its status as a powerful tool for creators on the go.
With its triple-lens camera system, 48MP main sensor, and cutting-edge computational photography, the iPhone 16 Pro can capture ProRes and Dolby Vision HDR video at up to 4K 60fps.
It also introduces Apple Log, providing filmmakers with more dynamic range and greater flexibility in post-production – a feature FilmConvert’s plugins now fully embrace.
FilmConvert Nitrate takes the digital camera files produced by the iPhone 16 Pro and adds a layer of emulsion to emulate the aesthetics of the film.
FilmConvert has painstakingly scanned various films to capture the minute grain structure and uses that data to overlay on top of the digital image, giving it a cinematic feel.
The new camera pack is meticulously calibrated to the iPhone 16 Pro’s color science, ensuring precise results.
Whether you’re striving for the warm tones of Kodak or the cool, muted hues of Fuji, FilmConvert Nitrate can seamlessly transform digital video into something that feels organic, textured, and cinematic.
For projects combining the iPhone 16 Pro with other cameras, CineMatch offers unparalleled precision. By applying color science from one camera to another, CineMatch ensures a uniform look across devices, minimizing the time spent manually tweaking settings in post-production.
The iPhone 16 Pro’s support means it can now seamlessly integrate into high-end productions that use cinema cameras alongside mobile devices.
Hazy Days
The integration is seamless for iPhone 16 Pro users shooting in Apple Log.
FilmConvert’s updated Hazy plugin now supports a range of input gammas, including Apple Log, Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG), and more.
The Hazy plugin can mitigate the digital over-sharpening often made by smartphones, making the image even more cinematic, plus gives users all the benefits of shooting with filters in post-production, diffusing strong light and giving your footage a softer, dreamier look.
This flexibility ensures that no matter the capture format, filmmakers can achieve consistent results when matching their iPhone footage with other cameras.
How to Access the Update
The new iPhone 16 Pro camera pack is available for download directly through the camera pack downloader within the FilmConvert plugin.
It can also be downloaded and installed manually. In CineMatch, users must download and install the latest version of the software from the CineMatch website to gain access to the new camera pack.
