The Future of iPhone Video: Log Footage and ProRes

Apple made the iPhone 15 Pro capable of shooting high-quality ProRes videos, which is a significant improvement from the smaller 4K files it used to record. This allows for better color performance and eliminates banding and artifacts. However, the lack of storage and suitable workflows limits its mainstream adoption. Nevertheless, developers are working on solutions to easily convert log footage into smaller files that resemble film. While not as good as professional cameras like the red camera or Arri Alexa, the iPhone 15 Pro's footage can seamlessly integrate into big budget movies without being easily noticeable. The log and ProRes formats enable it to match with any camera.
