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.

Got the app to be able to shoot Apple LOG in H.265 which has been great. But let us lock the app in landscape mode! I like to keep my phone rotation locked when using it, which makes me unable to shoot full landscape in the blackmagic app. I would love to open the app and have it immediately be landscape, should be as simple as a setting toggle. This would be perfect with mapping the app to the action button, and immediately start shooting pro video at any given moment. Also I’ve found that shooting apple log in h.265 doesn’t work when restarting the app, and you have to switch to ProRes and switch back for it to work which is quite annoying. This happens when switching between lenses too. Kills the momentum when you want to capture a quick moment and need to readjust settings every single time.
