ProMovie Recorder + Reviews

I love, love, love ProMovieRecorder. I just started learning how to edit videos so I could start making short movies for my family and our trips, holidays and events together. I am not fluent in any kind of way with different manual settings and manipulation of exposure, white balance, etc, but ProMovieRecorder is so easy to use and practice with to finally get to the settings I want and the quality of the videos I can now edit and put together are stunning. It’s truly hard to believe the videos recorded with this one iPhone X. I use ProMovieRecorder with a gimbal and voila, it’s like recording magic.

So yea. ProMovieRecorder can shoot nice videos. It has a lot of features useful to those who understand cameras - specifically those who understand principles of light.

But WHY in gods name would they not automatically save the videos to your camera roll?!? WHY?!? Why would you make something that’s supposed to make filming better and easier (since the native iPhone video app is SO bad and lacks even the most basic of manual settings) only to NOT make the videos immediately accessible to the person?

I’ve rated it a three. ProMovieRecorder does great stuff. But enjoy reading through how you have to plug in your phone, or do some other more complex export JUST to see the video you JUST recorded. This was clearly written by programmers with absolutely no mind to UI usability and flexibility. There is NO compete team that would accept having to go through MORE steps just to access what the sole purpose of ProMovieRecorder is for in the first place.

I’m angry for having spent the money on ProMovieRecorder and I’ve NO idea why this little fact isn’t highlighted first and foremost. And if the developers are so sure that their more convoluted file saving method is so great, then wonderful! List it as the FIRST feature. But I think we all know it’s NOT a good thing and all they’ve done is replace one set of problems with another.

Amazing app. Zero film grain which is wonderful. Unlike the Apple default camera app which lately adds a yellowish tint and filmgrain to all 4K / 60fps videos. ProMovieRecorder on the iPhone is as good as it gets and supports 40/60Fps. Easily worth $50.
The iPad version doesn’t support 4K/60fps but the iPad does have the 4K / 60 FPS resolution camera. Weird. The white balance control is the best I have ever used. Needs updated but easily the best video recorder app in ProMovieRecorder Store. Saving / exporting videos to the camera roll is a breeze.

While ProMovieRecorder creates great footage, I’ve found it borderline impossible to share said video across any platform. I was able to upload to my own computer with fairly little trouble, but once I tried to get it to my boss, I found myself struggling to find ANY way to get it to him; first, I tried sharing via Dropbox, google drive, iCloud, you name it- NOTHING worked. From there I was forced to give him a flash drive with the video files- they refused to play for him. Cut to now, as I’m sitting at his TWO computers, both of which I connected my phone to via iTunes and tried to upload the clips. And yet, they still refuse to play. I am very frustrated and there is nothing online describing a similar issue. Help would be appreciated.

Out of the box, it’s exactly what I needed. My only qualm is that I can’t get the video exporting to work on my camera roll or when I iTunes file share on my Mac it doesn’t play properly. I read it’s because of the 4:3 aspect ratio I shot in but there must be an easier way to export videos to other platforms. The features on ProMovieRecorder are exhaustive but if the accessibility was sufficient the developers could charge 5$

I am very happy with ProMovieRecorder. It optimizers the iphone’s camera far more then the standard recorder that Apple provides. The price is very reasonable as well. I have a few feature suggestions for the producer but no complaints with ProMovieRecorder . 1) a start/stop record timer function 2) flash brightness control 3) 100+ frames per second in 4K for newer devices (if that’s achievable that is)

This product works well and does everything I need and more. My only gripe is that you cannot save your camera settings(I have to readjust white balance, zoom, etc. each time I open ProMovieRecorder . This is a minor issue -probably a non-issue for most but I film in a controlled environment so readjusting the settings each time can feel arduous.

I bought the Pro Movie app and then saw the Pro Movie + app and bought it too, thinking there was a difference. There isn’t. They are both the same. So do like I did and buy both. Also, I have messaged the developers through the message portion inside ProMovieRecorder and have not gotten one reply. I have to say I love both Pro Movie and Pro Movie + but since they are the same app, it’s not surprising. I just wish I’d done more research and just bought one of them not both.

All the settings and control you need, 4K quality, easy to understand interface, and the ability to generate hi res, pro quality content with a mobile device. Achieve the best results with high quality, low cost ProMovie!

Love it. However, I worry that now that Apple is killing iTunes, how will we be able to transfer full quality videos for editing. When I first downloaded, that was in the instructions for being able to transfer full quality. If you share from ProMovieRecorder , it lessens the quality.

Thank you for the latest update and for finally supporting multi-lens iPhone models. But I have a concern. Is it technically impossible to have manual focus controls while on triple lens mode? If it is, how about having a dual lens mode (wide + telephoto)? Kudos!

This ap crashes every time I push the record button it’s truly a bad buy and extremely frustrating I reinstalled it many times and it never fails to disappoint when it crashes

ProMovieRecorder takes great video, but be prepared to only be able to enjoy the results on the original device.

It is so difficult to transfer the resulting files through any service or medium, I think that may actually have been the original purpose of ProMovieRecorder : An arcane, daemonic trap designed to contain any creative output —- and, to grasp it in dead withered hands at all cost.

Don’t buy ProMovieRecorder, and don’t download if free. Whatever the price, it won’t outweigh your bitter tears.

The cameras in the new iPhones are incredible, but lack control. ProMovieRecorder is seriously amazing. Manual adjustment of resolution, ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and focus, and it all locks in so you don’t get variance while recording. This should be bundled with every iPhone. Worth every penny if you want control over your iPhone’s video and photo.

The review button won’t stop popping up while I’m trying to work so you get a 2. Trying for 15 mins to download footage with no success. Might have gotten a better review if the ap was not so annoying in demanding a review. Use filmic pro instead

This is a very good app, lot of basic features and easy to use, only it would be great if it could record the audio in stereo. I tried various recording audio formats and it always gave a mono audio result on my videos. Is there a soon update for this issue? Would greatly appreciate the stereo feature.

In Texas you might be in trouble for recording the police audio as a bistander due to wiretap laws and their expectation of privacy; ( video only part is covered by the 1st amendment)

so I bought ProMovieRecorder to drop the gain and not record audio. ProMovieRecorder will not let you use it without the iPhone microphone access, and with that enabled it will not give you access to the microphone gain as the advertised feature

I want my money back, so not waste yours

Surprisingly this video recorder recognized SceneDAC (Scenes Lifelike VR recording headphones) binaural mic headphones. Sounds amazing compare to any dedicated audio recorder on iOS. Saying that, is there a way to turn off the video and record just binaural audio? or, how about creating an app just for binaural 3D audio. Thanks.

Great camera for recording games, make sure you have enough memory. Will not pause and re-record. Will make a new video.

Can someone tell me how to recover my photos and videos that were once on ProMovieRecorder? I removed ProMovieRecorder at one point and decided to add it back. Now my photos and videos are no where to be found. I did purchase the plus version as well. Help please.

I've finally found what I'm looking for in a quality movie software. I especially like the easy to use manual settings. My videos turn out exactly as I want.
