- Mobile content creators, what is going on?
Today we are talking about the app called
Mobile Pro Camera from the Moment Company.
You might know Moment as the company
that makes really cool (mumbling) for your smart phone.
Now I'm gonna dive into the app
and show you the features here in just a minute.
But first I'm gonna roll a clip for you that I shot
earlier today using this app and my iPhone 7.
So let's roll it and then tell me what you think
down in the comments below.
And by the way, as you probably already know,
I do read every single comment
and I reply to as many as possible,
and when this video's over,
I'm gonna go down there and carry on the conversation.
Now let's roll the clip.
Cue the clip.
(dramatic music)
(wooshing)
(dinging)
(vehicles passing)
Okay so that was the footage that I shot
just a few hours ago using my iPhone 7.
And I shot it around 6:00 p.m. using the new Moment app.
Now I personally think it's not as sharp
as I would like it to be,
and it is just a tad bit grainy in some shots.
Now to be totally fair,
the sun wasn't setting but it wasn't
as bright as I would like it to be,
it wasn't afternoon sunlight.
Some of the footage is a little bit grainy
and it might be because of that
or it could be because of my iPhone 7.
Now we did just get an iPhone 10 or X
and I haven't started shooting with it yet,
but I am gonna install it on there
and compare them against the two
and see if it's the iPhone 7 or if it's the app.
Seriously, 7, 8,
(harp music)
come on.
So now all of that's out of the way,
let's get down to brass tax.
They do have a free version of the app,
but they don't give you all the features.
If you want all of the features,
which you do want all of the features,
it costs $2.99 and in my opinion, it's totally worth $2.99,
because if you compare it against an app like Filmic Pro
which is like four or five times as much,
I think the Moment Pro Camera is a steal for $2.99.
However, if you already have manual controls on your phone,
if you already have Filmic Pro,
or you just like to turn on and shoot in auto,
well then this app probably isn't for you,
and no, you don't need it.
But if you don't already have an app
that allows you to shoot with manual controls,
and your phone doesn't have manual controls,
for $2.99, you should really look into this app.
So let me dive in and show you
some of the features of this app.
So when you first open up the app,
you're gonna be able to choose
on the bottom right hand corner between photos and videos.
To get started, we're gonna start on video.
Now as you move across the bottom,
you're gonna see the little swirly arrows.
If you tap on that, that's gonna turn on
your front facing camera.
The red circle here, that's the record button.
And the little sliders you see on the left of that,
that opens up your settings.
And if you open up your settings,
and for iPhone users, you're gonna see 3D Shutter here,
and that's something that's gonna allow
you to long press or force press
and use some of the features with that.
The Histogram, you can turn that on or off.
And that's just another way to look at your exposure.
And if you wanna geo tag your content,
you can turn on your location.
Now I'm looking at this on my iPhone,
so you're gonna be able to see the High Efficiency HEIF,
or the compatible JPG option.
And for video, you're gonna see High Efficiency HEVC,
or Most Compatible H.264.
Now for video, I do shoot in H.264,
but for photos I shoot in raw
because it's an uncompressed format
and it gives you the most flexibility
if you wanna do some manipulation to the photo later
or color correction or exposure correction.
So moving up just right above those controls,
you're gonna see an S.
That's your shutter.
If you tap on that, it's gonna open up the little slider.
You can put your thumb on there,
move it to the left or right.
It's gonna adjust your shutter speed.
Go to the right of that, it's gonna adjust your ISO.
And you're gonna notice as you move it,
and a little white line there shows up underneath it.
Either on shutter or ISO.
That means that it's locked.
So once it's locked into place, you can move it
and you don't have to worry about it.
To the right of that is EV.
Now EV is kinda like an auto.
It's gonna choose the best settings for you.
But you can still move it to the left or to the right
to manually control it if you're just kinda out
and you wanna run a gun.
To the right of that is auto-focus
which is pretty self-explanatory.
However, it does have some focusing features
that you can tap on the screen and use,
just like your native video recorder.
However, if you double tap on them,
it will separate and you can use exposure in one bubble
and focus in another.
To the right of that is auto white balance
and if you put your thumb there and scroll
to the left or the right,
you're gonna see the numbers up there
next to white balance and that's gonna be the Kelvin scale.
If you want to go out and shoot in the daylight,
the Kelvin scale for that is 5600.
If you want it a little bit warmer,
bump it up a notch or two.
Now going to the top of the screen on the top left,
you're gonna see a little grid.
You can tap on that and it's gonna change
the type of grid that you can have,
including a square in case you wanna shoot for Instagram.
I personally don't know why you'd wanna shoot for Instagram
this way because you can crop it there.
However, it is kind of good to have it there
if you wanna frame it to make sure that when you
do go to crop it later, that it is going to fit.
Next to that, moving to the right, is your flash.
Next to that is your stabilization.
Now if there's no stabilization on, you will not see an A.
If the A is showing, that means the stabilization
is turned on and their stabilization feature
is actually really good.
Moving next to that is your resolution.
You can shoot in 720p, 1080p, or 4k.
Next to that is your frame rate.
Now your frame rate is gonna be dependent
on what your phone will actually support.
Now to the right of that, you're gonna see a circle
and if you tap on that,
you're gonna see all the lenses that Moment makes.
Now this is not for lens correction.
It's actually gonna tell you what type of lens you used
in the meta data.
Now some people might not care about that.
But if you're someone who wants to look back later
and say, "Oh this photo looks great," or
"this video looks great, how did I shoot it?"
selecting the right lens here is gonna be able to
tell you how you shot it.
But I don't have the lenses, so I have no lens.
So now let's go to the bottom right
and tap on that video camera
and let's open the photo features.
Now everything you see along the bottom
works exactly the same,
just like it does for the video features,
so we don't need to go over that again.
But if you go to the top,
there are two more additional features here.
One of them's in the middle.
It's a little timer.
This is gonna give you a countdown
of either three seconds or 10 seconds.
Each time you take a photo using one of these settings,
it's going to take three photos.
To the right of that, you're gonna see JPG,
and if you tap on it, it's gonna change to TIFF,
and if you tap on it again, it's gonna change to RAW.
And then to the right of that is the lens setting,
which works just like the video.
Thank you so much for watching,
I do appreciate it.
