Artemis was the first digital viewfinder for smartphones. Over the years it has become an indispensable tool for professional filmmakers used by Oscar winners and film students the world over. Every day it helps people line up shots that become the world’s favorite moments in film and television. In 2018 Artemis was awarded an Emmy for its contribution to filmmaking, an award for which we are very honoured.
This new version of Artemis includes a wealth of new features including:
Record video, trim the ends and add custom title cards.
Create custom framelines for any shape size or aspect ratio you like.
A built-in series of "looks" that provide a way to pre-visualise color grading ideas. You can also create your own looks and import Photoshop curves.
Integration with Helios Pro.
Add virtual stand-ins on the live camera feed and in storyboards.
Virtual Wide Angle mode to overcome the camera limitation of your device.

Love the updates
Being able to share camera and lens settings is very useful.
Would love to be able to export camera/lens settings as a QR code so I could print it up and stick it on the lens case. Then when you show up as a daily you scan the code and off you go.. no need to chase another crew member around…
Literally Unusable
I’ve used this app since 2019. It’s always been good at what it does.
However for the past two updates, and at least the past six months, the app is unusable. The image is not able to be brought into focus within the Artemis app. Meaning that none of your shots ever are clear, regardless of focal length.
Most frustrating is when the app finally does find focus, the second you hit record the app goes out of focus again, and you’ll be lucky if it ever comes back. Sometimes it will focus after ten seconds or so, but then you’re that person on set looking like an idiot for saying “action” during your blocking, followed by “oh no, wait, sorry hold on. Artemis isn’t in focus”
I’ve gone back to using my iPhone/ipad camera instead of the app. Really disappointing.
Great and useful app (with one deficiency)
This is such a useful app, but it would be helpful to have a crosshair.
Bugs
Great app, but a lot of bugs. Cant report a bug in the app because there is a bug that prevent the keyboard from going away. Big bug with viewing previously taken photo, opens the most recent photo so you have to swipe through every photo youve taken
Overpriced underdeveloped
Conceptually a great app. Sadly the deliverance leaves a lot to be desired. Buggy, poor UI and lacking in basic features you would assume accompanied such an expensive app.
For instance.. why can’t I just share my camera/lens info with people? Instead I have to scroll through a dozen menus inputting camera/resolution/lenses blah blah blah.
Why isn’t there a simple way to save settings under show names so they can be revisited?
Does anyone actually use a virtual stand in?
If this app was $5 I would give it 5 stars but as is it gets a 1.
The Gold Standard
Artemis has changed the way we work on set and it’s a dream come true. Impeccable customer service.
Why did I wait so long to upgrade my Artemis Legacy?
The pro version is simply amazing. Saves so much time during pre pro, scouting, and on set! Highly recommend. Customer service is also amazing.
Wrong price
Hello, I thought the price is 39.99 dollars but I got charged for 51 dollars. I’m confused about it.
A must have for any DP/Operator/ Directors kit
The two things I never show up to set without is my light meter and a fully charged phone with Artemis Pro.
Aside from the obvious production environment, I use Artemis extensively in pre-vis while location scouting and shot listing with my collaborators. The ability to use the virtual stand in feature has proved invaluable while standing in a location and trying to estimate frame sizes without a physical cast or objects. This allows me to return from a scout and share those mock set ups with other departments with all the relevant information like orientation, sunset, sunrise, geographic coordinates, colour palette and lens metadata.
In the production environment Artemis Pro is what allows me to collaborate and express my ideas to my keys, operator and director in real time. Long gone are the days of relying on a physical finder mounted with a prime with only the director and DP can only see.
There shouldn’t be any hesitation in purchasing this app if you are a working DP, operator or director. This is a must have tool for any kit.
Ridiculous glitches
This app has glitches that are APPALLING in a $40 (CAD) app. Organizing shots is a disaster - the folder management is a mess. If you do manage to get your shots in folders, they REVERSE ORDER unexpectedly and for no apparent reason. This makes exporting a shortlist unusable. Edits, and sketches cannot be revised or removed. Shots cannot be easily duplicated. This app is WAY more work than it needs to be. Developers: please fix ASAP! Until then, I would avoid this app.
