Filmic Pro v7 delivers the following enhancements and new features:
Quick Action Modals (QAMs)
- Quick
- Action Modals (known as QAMs, and pronounced ācamsā)
- offer fast access to key functionality at the top level of the UI, and are
- designed for quick adjustments that do not require jumping into settings;
- Many of these QAMs offer a highly requested feature ā numerical input. Now filmmakers can type in an exact value for ISO, shutter speed, and white balance temperature for failsafe results and pinpoint accuracy.
Action Slider
- Action
- Info Slider provides a real time readout designed for professionals who want to monitor their ISO, shutter speed, white balance, minutes remaining of record time, capture format, and gamma curve;
- The UI reinforces locked states for ISO, shutter speed, and white balance;
- These visuals can also be hidden or revealed at any time.
Custom Function Button
- Filmic Pro now offers a dedicated custom function button in the main camera interface.
- The filmmaker can map one of dozens of key features to this button for fast access.
Interface Redesign
- Newly refined, streamlined interface;
- New tangerine reticles with improved lock/unlocked state animations;
- All new dedicated Mode Button which makes all supported modes explicit to the filmmaker (auto mode; center weighted reticle mode; reticle mode; manual mode);
- Simple and Professional Audio Meters: Tap the on screen audio meter to switch between preferred presentations;
- Dedicated Audio Control button in main UI;
- Redesigned Manual Controls: Filmic Pro V7 moves away from arcs to sliders with more explicit pull to point functionality. The slider travel is also longer for more precision and accuracy, and inertial scrolling is now supported, which enables faster āflickingā to Macro or Infinity. Exposure controls are also decomposed to better reflect professional cameras (Filmic Pro now offers three exposure modes on the left hand manual slider: LV (ISO and shutter speed concurrently per v6); ISO only; and shutter speed only).
Revised Settings Menu
- Filmic Pro offers a redesigned Settings menu that consolidates key functionality (for example āResolutionā and āFrame Rateā menus from v6 are consolidated under a `Video` menu).
