What the app is for

Blackmagic Camera is a video camera app from Blackmagic Design that turns a phone's camera into one with film-style settings. The developer says its controls and interface are modeled on Blackmagic's dedicated digital film cameras. It is aimed at people who want more control over how their footage looks than the default camera app gives them.

The developer also lists image processing that targets the look of a cinematic film. Some of the controls are tied to particular hardware, so the set available may differ from phone to phone.

Adjusting exposure and picture settings

The main settings are frame rate, shutter angle, white balance and ISO. According to the listing, each can be changed in a single tap rather than through nested menus. Shutter angle is the film term for how much motion blur each frame carries, so it is the setting most likely to change how movement looks on screen.

The image processing layer applies the developer's color and tone handling to what the camera records. The listing does not describe the processing in detail beyond saying it aims for a cinematic result.

Recording formats and Blackmagic Cloud storage

Footage can be recorded in industry standard file formats at resolutions up to 8K, according to the developer. Recording can also go directly to Blackmagic Cloud Storage instead of only to the phone's own storage, so clips are stored off the device as they are shot.

Cloud recording is the link to the rest of Blackmagic's workflow. Files recorded there are kept in a location that editing software can reach.

Working with DaVinci Resolve editors

The developer says Blackmagic Cloud Storage lets several people work on the same DaVinci Resolve project at once, including editors in different parts of the world. This makes the app relevant to small crews or remote teams who edit in DaVinci Resolve and want footage from a phone to arrive in the project without a manual transfer.

The listing presents this as collaboration on shared projects. It does not describe how permissions or access are set up between team members.
