HDMI output has been very hit or miss for me on multiple monitors and cables. Most of the time I just get a black output but I know the cable is working because the rest of iOS will mirror to the display. Toggling the HDMI Clean Feed setting seems to have no impact at all. It would be nice if we could just mirror what is on the display with our waveform, settings, etc.

Otherwise the app is great but HDMI out is a very big feature for me that in its current state isn’t very usable.

It doesn’t happen every time, but it happens too often for this app to be reliable. I open the app, everything seems normal, record as I would with perfect preview, then I slide the phone back in my pocket and don’t think of it again. Until I dump footage and find that at least 20% of my clips have nothing but audio and terrible blue static covering the entire screen. Some sort of glitchy kind of look. But anything that was actually being recorded is just GONE. Completely. Forever. Never going to get those moments back. I’m willing to give up a bit of picture quality, or sound quality for convenience. But a I want to do is capture the moment in front of me in the time that it happens, and this app has failed time and time again at being reliable enough to do that. I tried to update, tried it again and again, but it has lost so many precious moment to me that I have no choice but to no use it ever. And at this rate, I don’t know if I will ever be able to trust it again.

I’ve been using Blackmagic Camera for several months. It was good but understandably not as polished as FilmicPro.
Lately though Blackmagic has been practicing black magic. The app is unreliable. I empty my phone and the app stops recording long before it did a few months ago, claiming to be out of storage space.
The Camera Settings part of the app has some serious U/I issues (hello: same company as DaVinci Resolve which shares this tendency toward a messy U/I). Make a decision please and just have all of your settings work the same way or at least give a semblance of coherent order for the list of camera settings.
For now I can’t use this app if it’s going to be unreliable. But I had to give up DaVinci Resolve too: after 5 years I just began to assume the learning curve was unconquerable and the company unaware of the thicket their U/I is. Back to Filmic Pro or even the constantly improving iPhone native camera app. Bye again Blackmagic.
