- Jumping straight into the secrets.
If you've got an iPhone X or later, I'm using the 14 Pro.
In the Photos app, you can isolate the subject of a photo
from the photo background and then copy or share it
in other documents, essentially creating rad image cutouts
with a tap of a button.
Now it doesn't have to be a new image either scroll up
try it on some of your old images.
Plus, you might also see this rad halo effect being used
in Instagram reels.
So simple to do.
Just start a screen recording
stretch your image to fill the frame, and voila
you just tap on the subject
and you've created that same halo effect.
Before creating this video, I was just like you
not really knowing how to use my iPhone 14
or 14 pro Max to create epic content.
So in this video, we are gonna be leveling up together
because if you're new to photography or simply
looking to get better results and improve the quality
of your iPhone content, well get ready to be amazed
because these devices have absolutely endless possibilities.
Starting with the post capture editing features
which personally I didn't see any
of this stuff shared in any of the iPhone ads.
That's probably because maybe I was too busy hanging
out with my friends or family or climbing mountains
but whatever,
loads of these post-production editing features are amazing.
So let's get stuck into it.
(upbeat music)
Hey, friends, or welcome back
to the channel if you guys are new around here.
My name is Jake.
I'm an Australian athlete turned filmmaker
and on this channel my partner Anna
and I explore low budget travel filmmaking, photography
and ideas that can help you explore the world
and better document your adventures.
So let's talk about the iPhone 14
post-production editing features
or post capture editing features.
Essentially that means is once you've taken a video.
Now something I touched on
in this latest comparison video just up here
which I think is super cool, is for those
of you looking to create cinematic videos or travel vlogs.
Now when shooting in cinematic mode
like iPhone have really sold me on this cinematic mode
but when using it, you also have the ability to
change the depth of field as well as the focal point.
After you've shot the clip.
What you can do is you can create key frames to
move the focal point as well as the color grade
in post-production, just using the iPhone camera app
it's pretty impressive.
Now, editing these options can also be done
on other Apple devices like your iPad
or in Final Cut Pro on Mac.
But to do so
all you have to do is share the file, tap option, and toggle
on all photo data, and this will create a folder with .MOV
and .AAE files to enable the same post-production
editing tools for these other devices.
Now, for the photographers in the room, you also
have these same creative flexibilities when shooting
in portrait mode.
So after capture, like once you've taken your photo
in portrait mode, you can change the depth
of field and the lighting, which again
I think this is really what makes this device
super fun to play around with and really
makes the post-production creative process enjoyable.
So get stuck in, get Comfy, tap these buttons and toggle
on these certain features because this may just
unlock some secret feature that you just didn't know about.
Next up is the night mode magic
and this is basically where your iPhone can see in the dark.
Like all you have to do is open up the iPhone camera app
and just allow the camera to reveal hard to
see low light imagery.
It's pretty amazing what these camera lenses are capable
of picking up, certainly more than you
and I can even see with 20/20 Vision.
So next time you're out at night, give this a try.
Just open up the camera app
and put your hand in front of the lens.
You'll be amazed.
You honestly will see so much more detail that can be
revealed through the camera app than what your eyes can see.
But what's even cooler
about the night mode features is the ability to
adjust the exposure for up to 10 seconds
depending on the level of darkness.
Now, the darker it is, the longer the exposure.
So if your goal is to capture a nice sharp image
then you've gotta be using a tripod.
But if you're up for some creative fun, then go wild.
Obviously, the more movement during the exposure,
the blurrier the image will be.
So if you want something nice and sharp
lock it off on a tripod.
If you wanna get creative like Claude Monet
then tap that exposure and wave your magic wand
because you will be amazed.
Certainly one of the biggest selling points on
the iPhone 14 pro or pro Max is its ability to
capture 48 megapixel photos.
Now, this option isn't the default camera setting.
It's something that you have to turn on.
So to do this, go to settings in your iPhone
then go camera, then formats, then toggle on Apple Pro Raw.
So just double check that when you do open the camera app
you tap
the top right hand corner is a little icon which
says raw that will enable you to shoot in the 48 megapixels.
It's important to keep
in mind just how much storage you have on your iPhone
because these images will take
up a lot more space than with that raw thing toggled off
and it might just be an option to toggle it
on when you want to capture something in high res.
You know, your LinkedIn profile pic
for your next tinder date, I don't know.
But the whole point
of using this raw toggle is to give you more ability to
edit the photo further in post-production.
It's just gonna give you like a high quality image
which comes with a lot more storage space
flowing on from the photo side of things.
You can also turn live photos into videos.
I didn't know this was possible, but this is
like a great idea if you're wanting to maybe spice
up your Instagram stories, for example, or you know
you just want more out
of a single capture, to save a live photo as a video.
After capture, tap the top three dots
and click save as video.
This is gonna transform the live photo series
into a shareable video, which again is super rad
if you're wanting to create some Instagram stories
that are a bit more animated than a static image.
Alternatively, you can create awesome long exposures
by tapping on the live icon
and then select the long exposure option.
Now, this is obviously most effective when
you are using a tripod, but again
if you want to have some more Claude Monet magic fun
and you want to create some nice like artistic content
then feel free to take a live photo
and move the camera because yeah
essentially the more movement that the camera
has whilst capturing the image
the more blurry that result will be.
This is probably a really good one
for those of you that are capturing waterfalls
or water or anything where there's a lot of motion
and you want to like, I don't know, you could even try
and like just wave your hand and keep your head still.
That might be something that looks really cool as well.
Play around with this.
The whole point of this is showcasing you just
how versatile the live photo feature is
not new to iPhone 14, but like still a really
rad feature that I wanted to add into this video.
If you've been enjoying this video so far
or you've learned something, then why not punch
that thumbs up button for the algorithm laws
and we'll keep showing up each week with more
free smartphone tips and tricks
or action camera tips or just, we'll just hang out.
You get the picture.
Now, you may also be an action camera user
and you may also know how much we love recommending to shoot
in burst mode to freeze moments.
You can now achieve this same thumb stopping result
just freezing motion on the iPhone 14 using burst mode.
This one is a little bit tricky to get down
it's just a little swipe of the wrist.
Now what you've gotta do is when you're in the camera mode
tap and hold on the trigger icon and swipe to the left
and as you are holding and swipe swiping to the left
you will notice that this number of burst images
starts to pop up.
It's super fun.
Basically what this is gonna do
it's gonna store all of those images that were
captured in that burst as one file.
You can then tap on this one file, have a look through
choose your favorite bursts, and you know what?
If you're really short on phone space, which most of us are
just delete the ones that you don't want.
But yeah, super cool for freezing moments and
just capturing something awesome.
Also, to make sure you're getting the most out
of all these epic tips
specifically with your iPhone 14 or 14 Pro Max
we recommend keeping the original quality so
that your iPhone doesn't compress all of this
content before sending it to your MacBook or
wherever you want to send it to.
If you're using Airdrop like we always do
then go into the photo settings on your phone
scroll down in the photo settings
to where you see transfer to Mac or PC.
It's right at the bottom
and you wanna switch this to keep a originals, and
this way your phone is gonna retain the best quality photo
and video so that when you do come to send it
to your MacBook, or when you do come to like, you know
import it into Adobe Premiere Pro, then it's not gonna be
it's not gonna be all pixelated and compressed.
Now, if you don't really care about the compression
then you can just leave this on.
I highly recommend doing this.
If you are looking, you know
if you're wanting to make a travel film, do this right now
before you go out and shoot that travel film
so that the phone doesn't start compressing all
of your content.
Now also, for those of you that are looking to
edit your cinematic iPhone videos in Adobe Premier Pro
or you've already tried and you've noticed
that once you send the iPhone clip
specifically the cinematic clip to your desktop
and you put it into Adobe Premier Pro, it looks disgusting.
It looks like a potato.
Now that's because you need to add a conversion light
so I'm gonna put a video in the description
of this to Brian Adam Costello's tutorial
because he literally has a free conversion light
in that video that will solve all your problems.
It was certainly a lifesaver for us
so definitely go and check out Brian's video after this.
For those of you that are specifically editing
in Adobe Premier Pro, those of you that
aren't looking to edit in Final Cut
or you just want to edit on Capcut

Up in the cards, guys
thank you so much for checking out today's video.
I'll see you guys in the next one.
Okay, please.
