The updated version of Final Cut Camera includes support for quickly swapping over to the Telephoto lens on the iPhone 14 Pro and later, recording in Spatial Audio on the iPhone 16 and later, and recording in 50fps video.
- Quickly switch to the 48 mm telephoto lens to capture the perfect shot. (Requires iPhone 14 Pro or later.)
- Play back your Log videos in SDR or HDR with the vibrancy of the original scene by applying the Apple Log LUT. (Requires iPhone 15 Pro or later.)
- Record videos in Spatial Audio for even more realistic and immersive sound. (Requires iPhone 16.)
- Capture in 50 fps for additional editing flexibility and delivery options.
Final Cut Camera is software that is designed to let users record from up to four devices with footage imported into Final Cut Pro for iPad.
