RAW Vid from iPhone?

[jasonmvp]

This might be better asked in the various iOS or iPhone sections, but I figured I'd chuck it out here first. There are apps available for the phone that will let you take RAW digital photos that can then be edited in things like Lightroom, et al. Much the same way a RAW photo off of a DSLR can. Are there video apps that are similar? I've not found any on the App Store, but I might be searching incorrectly.

I ask because I really like the 4K/60 and 4K/30 output of the iPhone 11 Pro, but it does kind of over-saturate and over-punch the video a bit too much. I'd rather have more control over that without losing data by editing a highly compressed h.265 file.

Any ideas? Thanks!

The closest thing I'm aware of is Filmic Pro, and it is available through the App store. It allows you to set the quality setting very high, relative to the iPhone's video default recording quality. Not sure if Filmic Pro allows RAW per se, but it will do extremely high quality.

Do you mean raw or log? I don't think raw video is available - it's usually something available on in very high-end cameras. Filmic Pro offers log format. iPhones do offer raw photo, though.

Nope, I mean RAW, not log. Log would be applied to the RAW.

It seems the Moment app can do Raw: https://nofilmschool.com/moment-pro-camera-timelapse-update

[edit] On further investigation, it seems phot and motion capture only, not video. Thanks to those who re-calibrated me on this!

Nope. It doesn't do RAW video. Just photo.

It's not RAW (I doubt it's even possible) but in this article they describe hooking an iPhone up to an Atomos Ninja Assassin: https://9to5mac.com/2016/02/18/how-to-take-better-videos-iphone-filmic-pro/
That would at least get you uncompressed video.

I believe you ask too much. Raw video is a totally different beast than raw stills. Your best shot is with the Filmic Pro app, shotting log. Just be careful with WB and exposed it properly and you will be alright.

Not really. It's a series of RAW stills. The only "ask" is storage, of course.

Filmic doesn't give me what I'm after, but thanks for all of the suggestions.

Storage, bandwidth, debayering for preview, processing x24 times per second. Plus running a full operating system.
