Description

Magic Cinema ViewFinder presents you a precise framing preview for the real Blackmagic camera/lens combination you'll be shooting with, right where you stand with your iPhone / iPad. It simulates the field of view of any Blackmagic camera or lens and can help thousands of professionals in filmmaking at the preproduction.
PLEASE READ: this app does not turn your Apple device into an external monitor, but operates as a stand-alone director's viewfinder.
The app contains ad banners, which can be turned off with additional in-app purchase (in 'About the App' menu).
The app is a digital directors viewfinder -- it helps you see the exact field of view for your future shot. Select the camera from the menu and rotate the wheel to select the focal length of the lens.
Supported cameras:
- Blackmagic URSA 4.6K / URSA Mini
- Blackmagic URSA
- Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro
- Blackmagic URSA Broadcast
- Blackmagic BMCC, BMPC 4K
- Blackmagic Micro Cinema / Pocket / 4K
Magic ViewFinder simulates using tele adapters or anamorphic optics on your camera (see menu). From the menu you can also select the aspect ratio of the frame guide overlaying your image.
Magic ViewFinder also lets you apply some commonly used color presets (also known as LUTs) to the live picture, which brings you even closer to the final shot.
When you have found the right view, you may save it for future reference, with additional data like the focal length, date and time and camera / lens information.
While taking a photo, you may lock exposure and turn on and off the auto focus to better control the captured picture.
You can set camera to work in constant auto-focus mode, or lock the focus temporarily. You can also tap the live screen to focus on particular objects (which turns on the focus-locked mode).
White balance may work in Auto, Locked or Manual mode.
If the field of view of your real camera is wider than your in-device camera, the app adds 'padding' around the image, since the device cannot 'see' what is beyond. It is the best solution that we developed first amongst other viewfinder apps.
Please note that position of your iPhone/iPad should correspond to the 'nodal point' of your real lens, which is somewhere in the middle of the lens.
Ad policy: The ads are designed to appear non-intrusively, and help me to develop.

Frozen bar

DFKmuzik on

United States

So there’s this frozen bar across the top of the frame whenever I open the app. I purchased this app and figured there wouldn’t be no issues. I tried contacting support it says not found.

Just Awesome tool to have with my 4k.

UNDALINK on

United States

Thank You!!!!

I use it on every project

Sergio Andrade Martina on

United States

This has become my only tool to plan and visualize shots and the option to have the optical adapters and record video is definitely a must

Excellent Viewfinder! Great for scouting

N Sheldon on

United States

This is such an excellent viewfinder. I use it for scouting and it’s super helpful. Great app and a good deal!

Fix the view angle pls.

Teh kash on

United States

The view angle of the preview and camera, when put side by side does not relate to each other, not even close.

Post process

crimsinking on

United States

Recorded a long video, post process deleted the entirety of it after processing for over 30mins

Bought the full version

findamir on

United States

This is an awesome app. I want to upgrade to iPhone 11 so I hope the wider angles won't have the pink crop. I wish this app had the capabilities to do storyboards from photos and some notes to add to print out.

Manual Exposure Update

Alex Woodruff on

United States

I see what you were going for, but the Seconds slider makes no sense when it comes to how most people get exposure. I really like the Manual Exposure and Exposure lock as it was enough to just plan shots.

Best Blackmagic viewfinder app

travisaward on

United States

As a BMW camera owner, this app is perfect. Easy to use and love the addition of LUTs and other tools. Uninstalling Artemis!
