How to Shoot ProRes Video on iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro

Exactly.
I’m not a glutton for the punishment I’d go through trying to get a huge movie file off of the iPhone. I went through that a couple of times getting my recording of a 90 minute school play off of the iPhone 8 Plus a few years ago. I still can’t get that video up on Google Photos for some reason.
My MacBook is from 2011. My gaming PC is now about 4 years old and doesn’t have large enough storage either. Someday I’ll invest in a nice Mac again. But we know how storage options are priced for their computers.
It’s not worth it to me to use anything above the now standard 4K 60 when it’s such a pain to get the huge files off the phone and too expensive to store it all. Someone said there’s an adapter that can be used. That would be something to look into I guess.
If Apple says it’s shot on iPhone then rest assure it is shot on iPhone. If they didn’t say it then it probably is not.
Exactly, they can’t just blatantly lie about it. They will twist or omit information so perhaps it was shot on the iPhone but very heavily edited in post and various effects added. Also their artificial lighting setups will be prohibitively unobtainable to average consumers. But then that’s how movies are made so really, they aren’t even twisting the truth at all - it’s just that they have infinite resources and very few people with an iPhone 13 Pro will actually be able to achieve anything close to what they have in the ads.
Wellwellwell, the latest news aren't the best - the normal (wide) lens is considerably softer on the 13 Pro than on the previous models because of the brighter lens + larger sensor combo. That is, the 13 Pro is a mixed bag :/

Yes they were. Anybody with a 13 pro like me can a test to that and the fact that you don’t shows again how incredible the cameras have become.
For anyone interested, I posted a thread about the fastest way to get ProRes files off the phone. But this way requires using Filmic Pro to shoot ProRes in the first place:

The Fastest Way To Copy Massive ProRes Videos From The iPhone 13 Pro
I hope this helps someone trying to copy their massive ProRes clips. As Filmic Pro supports the codec ahead of Apple updating iOS, that’s what I’m using here. Years ago, I grabbed an app called nPlayer for iOS - in short it’s like VLC but way better and I can avoid iTunes for my media. As I...

So there used to be a great series on YouTube (in Hong Kong if I recall) where they would take a famous videographer (like Philip bloom) and give him/her an absolutely absurd crappy video camera (like the Barbie camera) which had god awful resolutions, terrible color and fixed focus for many of them. They of course produce actually pretty amazing videos, because they worked with the limitations and quirks of the camera rather than just bemoaning them.
found it:
as for a small sensor/lens producing hdr prores it’s all computational video but it is damned good computational video. I mean is it an arri Alexa? Nope, but since it costs less than the carrying bag for the Alexa, pretty amazing. The good idea is that you can save a long conversion process if you are using final cut which on initial import will translate into prores, although this is negated by transferring a much larger file over usb2/lightning. At least when I transfer video usually I am doing it on a usb-c card reader. Then I wait a long time while the poor 8-core i9 rips it all into prores. Now what would be a cool feature they could farm out to a low-power core would be a shutter locked smtpe time code generation. Obviously this is not a global shutter and you’re not going to sync it to an external time code, but you could send out a time code that is already locked to the existing shutter (I guess on one of those usb-3.5mm jack adapters) then your digital audio recorder could timecode lock into that signal (yeah audio based sync works remarkably well, but still)
