Video Review #2 iPhone 16 Pro Max Fusion Camera • 20241114

Second day with the new iPhone 16 Pro Max. Quick comparison of the main – fusion – camera settings 1x and 2x – plus a clip with 5x tele lens. Internal video recording on the iPhone of . External Shure MV88+ microphone. Details of the recording and editing data in video.

Internal video recording on the iPhone.

Video file transfer failed for 2 files from 77 total using a brand new 1 meter Caldigit Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable (using a 2021 Macbook Pro M1Max). I suggested yesterday that the new Apple Thunderbolt 5 cable might have caused a transfer failure. Today however – examining various cables and 2 ports on the Macbook , I conclude the issue is associated rather with one particular Thunderbolt 4 port on my Macbook, not the various cables tested.

Video Review #1 iPhone 16 Pro Max vs iPhone 12 Pro Max • 20241113

First encounter with the new iPhone 16 Pro Max, and quick comparison with my previous iPhone, the 12 Pro Max. Details of the recording and editing data in video.

Internal video recording on both iPhones.

Video file transfer using the new Apple Thunderbolt 5 cable failed for 2 files from 26 total (using a 2021 Macbook Pro M1Max). Starting all over, again FCP refused importing those 2 files. Airdrop transfer was no problem.
Also no problem importing those 2 files in FCP with a Caldigit Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable (0.5 m).

Conclusion : great quality with standard 1x lens on new iPhone. Low light recording with 5x tele lens not so great…

SUMMARY
Problem : Grey Text
White text eg. Titles in Final Cut Pro ,
looks grey on HDR footage ( iPhone 12 – Rec.2020 HLG ) in a FCP Wide Gamut library. Solution : HDR Tools
Apply HDR Tools to the title clips, logo (PNG) etc … Mode : PQ to HLG (Rec.2100) Peak Brightness (nits) 100 (– 200). Brightness may be fine tuned with a peak (nits) between eg. 100-200/300.

Text like eg. Titles in Final Cut Pro that normally is white in a standard library (SDR) is grey on HDR footage in a wide gamut library, and thus cannot be used in most cases.
Here I use a Wide Gamut library in Final Cut Pro (using version 10.4.10) and a Project color space : Wide Gamut HDR – Rec. 2020 HLG.
I today found a solution – workaround perhaps – using the HDR Tools filter in the app.
Just apply the filter to the title clip and set the HDR Tools Mode : PQ to HLG (Rec.2100) – Peak Brightness (nits) 100.
This also works in the Motion app that I use to make custom subtitle templates – here the HDR Tools is used on the layer ‘Type Text Here’.

Footage filmed in Dolby Vision HDR on the iPhone 12 Pro Max with Shure MV88 for sound, in the Green Heart of Holland.

This short film starts with no HDR Tools applied. Top left is the logo ① memo based on a PNG file. A FCP lower-third title is used in the first part. In the last part the summary text is shown in a custom made Motion template.
