Apple has rolled out an exciting update for its suite of video editing software on the Mac, including Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor, and iMovie. This update brings a significant enhancement for users of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max – support for log-encoded video.
With the latest software updates, users of Apple’s Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor, and iMovie can now seamlessly edit log-encoded video footage captured on iPhone 15 Pro models. This enhancement opens up a world of possibilities for filmmakers and content creators, offering them more flexibility and creative control in post-production.
For those unfamiliar with log-encoded video, it is a format known for its expanded dynamic range and greater flexibility when it comes to color grading. Compared to linear footage, log-encoded video provides filmmakers with richer and more nuanced color correction options, allowing them to achieve precisely the visual style they desire.
On the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, users have the option to select from three different color encoding formats when recording ProRes video: HDR, SDR, or Log. By choosing Log encoding, filmmakers can capture footage with a higher dynamic range and more extensive color grading potential, making their content stand out with exceptional visual quality.
