moment pro camera app

hey guys ryan here thank you so much for
joining me today
this channel is all about learning and
growing as a filmmaker
so if you would please give this video a
thumbs up and please consider
subscribing if you haven't already
and let's become better filmmakers
together you know one of the most
popular apps for mobile filmmaking is
the pro camera app
by moment that's right the same company
that's responsible for some of the most
popular
lenses and accessories for mobile
filmmaking and photography
have their own app and it's been a while
since we've taken a look at the app so i
thought today we would
revisit the app at its current version
which as of today it's sitting at 4.0.9
and we're just going to see what the app
is capable of and
i'm just going to show you guys the best
way to use the app to get the most
out of it when it comes to mobile
filmmaking but before we get started if
you are a filmmaker or video creator and
you're looking for an
awesome library of royalty-free music
and sound effects
epidemic sound has you covered i'm
currently using epidemic sound to create
the soundscape for my new film project
the worst of fears
and i'm really excited about the options
and possibilities that epidemic gives me
as it pertains to sound effects and
music tracks
okay guys so without wasting any more
time let's dive into the pro camera app
by a moment
this is the pro camera app by moment
some of the newest features that were
added in version 4.0
are a new time lapse mode and slow
shutter mode which are in-app purchases
at the time of this video you can get
both upgrades in a bundle for 3.99 us
internal and frame count controls a
duration
calculator so that you know how long the
shot will take you can use motion blur
and light trails with your time lapse
shots
exposure bracketing to create hdr time
lapses
you can save your settings as a custom
preset
you can now export in 720p 1080p and 4k
export individual frames including 12
megapixel raw photos
the ability to select your bitrate a new
horizon
leveler and the ability to change your
pro camera icon
when you first open up the app you'll
have to allow the app to access your
photos
video and microphone through a few
permission pop-ups
once that's done we're ready to start
shooting
first we'll take a look at the app's
interface and features
let's detail each part of the interface
starting on the left side of the
viewfinder
assuming we are holding the phone
horizontally
in the bottom left we have the flash and
light control
we can use this to turn your device's
lamp on or off
or you can leave it set to automatic for
photography
just above that is the picture profile
button
tapping this will switch between the
default look a flat look
or the log color profiles
just above that is the resolution button
we can use this to switch between 720p
1080p
or 4k resolution keep in mind that
depending on your device
there may be certain limitations to some
of these settings depending on your
camera's capabilities
above that is the frame rate button we
can switch from 24 frames per second
all the way up to 240 frames per second
just above the frame rate button is the
lens button
here you can tell the app what lens
accessory if any
you are using with your device this is
mainly useful for when
saving file information but it is
especially useful if you're using an
anamorphic lens
just to the right of these buttons is
the audio meter where you can see the
audio levels of the video you are
recording
on the center of the screen you'll see
the composition and orientation guides
that also features a horizon leveler
tapping the screen will bring up a focus
and exposure ring
that you can drag around to focus on
different parts of the image
you can also tap the screen with two
fingers or double tap
to separate the focus and exposure rings
and adjust them on the image
separately
just double tap again to merge the rings
back together
at the bottom right of the viewfinder
you'll see the live waveform monitor and
histogram
just tap this window to switch between
the two monitors
these monitors will help you monitor
color balance brightness and exposure
across your image in real time
at the top right of the viewfinder
window you'll see a button to switch
between the rear and front facing
cameras
and a tab to increase the zoom level
one thing to note is that the
arrangement of certain options and
guides will change if you rotate your
device in different directions
now let's take a look at the toolbar the
toolbar options are on the far
right and the scroll bar to the left of
that lets you control whichever tool
option you have selected as you adjust
the scroll bar
the small white bar that pops up below
the title of each option
lets you know that that setting has just
been locked in place
just double tap the option again to
unlock the setting
you can adjust the shutter speed here to
fast or slow
you can adjust the iso lower iso means
less noise
but you may need to use a higher iso to
achieve a good image
in low light you can also adjust the
exposure here as well
the ev setting is kind of a blend
between iso and shutter speed
it's basically a default and simple way
to adjust the image
by using just one simple setting
the auto focus option is pretty
self-explanatory
if you leave this option on default the
app will auto focus for you
or you can slide the bar to adjust focus
and lock it in yourself
and the last option on the toolbar is
the auto white balance
left on default the white balance of the
image will auto adjust
or you can slide the bar to adjust the
white balance yourself from 1800k
up to 9800k
that's it for the toolbar to the right
of the toolbar we see the rest of our
on-screen buttons
starting at the top we see the mode
button this will allow us to switch
between photo mode
video mode and the optional slow shutter
and time lapse modes
if you've purchased them below that is
the presets menu
the default presets included are a
preset for cinematic video
a raw photo burst setting a preset for
slow motion video
and a preset for capturing bulb light
trails
you can also create and name your own
presets here
just click create new preset at the
bottom adjust your settings on the list
create a name and you're all set you can
also arrange the presets in the order
you'd like
by clicking the edit button at the top
right of the preset menu
of course the next big red button is the
record button
just press to stop and start recording
video
below that is the settings menu for the
app here you can adjust your guides
attach bluetooth devices change the
app's icon
turn on and off focus peaking histograms
highlight and shadow clipping for video
settings we can change our video format
turn on stabilization you can set your
frame rate mode and the bit rate
you can also turn off and on the
monitors for the histograms
waveforms and audio levels
another useful option here is to turn on
whether or not the app will
automatically apply a d
squeeze to save files that are recorded
with the anamorphic lens
and the last option on the video mode
screen is the camera roll
here you will find all of the picture
and video files saved to your device
just click the camera in the top right
corner to return to the previous screen
that pretty much covers all the features
and options as it pertains to video
but i would like to go over how to shoot
a time lapse with the app
as well as time lapses are a great
feature
for video production
click the mode button on the far right
menu and select the time lapse option
you'll notice that the layout of the
screen will change a little bit
the fps and picture profile options will
be replaced with a picture
file type and an effect option
you will also see the time lapse
controls appear at the top of the screen
here you can use the scroll wheel to set
the intervals in seconds
this will determine how often you want
to take a photo during the time lapse
you can set the total number of frames
you would like to capture
which will then change the capture
length
once you have your device set up in
place and your time-lapse settings where
you want them
just hit the record button and the app
will start the time lapse process
just come back when it's finished to
capture great cinematic footage with the
app
i would suggest going into the preset
menu and selecting the cinematic video
preset
this will load settings best suited for
capturing cinematic videos
you'll see that the preset loads up a
frame rate of 24 fps
4k resolution and a flat color profile
this flat color profile will give you
better control of your image in post
to set your app up for the best settings
for super slow motion video
load up the slow motion preset this will
set us up at
240 fps a 1080p resolution
and a flat color profile
don't forget that while you're recording
video to hold your phone horizontally
for that cinematic widescreen look
and remember that you're going to be
shooting your footage in a flat color
profile which means the colors will look
a little
flat hence the name and washed out
shooting this way allows us to have
better control of the colors
when we are editing in post be sure to
color correct your images
and throw a lut on there for good
measure once you're finished
i am editing these shots with my filmic
pro luts mega pack
which you can check out in the
description below
and finally let's check out some test
footage that i shot with the moment pro
camera app
