During one of the sessions at WWDC23Apple has announced a very welcome change to the cinema mode (Cinematic mode) from the app Camerawhich ended up being left out of the opening keynote: the possibility of editing videos recorded with the feature in third party apps.

Introduced with the iPhone 13 line, launched in September 2021, the feature gives the user the possibility to record videos with a more “Hollywood”. In addition to capturing in real-time Dolby Vision, the feature lets you highlight certain people or objects in a scene by quickly adjusting the camera’s focus.

Until then, if the user wanted to edit a video recorded with this mode and still be able to adjust the camera’s focus, he would necessarily have to do it through the iMoviefor the Final Cut Pro or by the app itself Photos (Photos). To change that, Apple introduced a new APIApplication programming interfaceor application programming interface.”>1available on iOS 17 e no macOS Sonoma 14dedicated to Cinema mode that gives developers the possibility to add support for the feature in their own apps.

O framework Cinematic makes it possible for you to add professional-level editing and playback capabilities to movies, shot using the Camera app’s Cinema mode, to your apps. These are the same features used in apps like Final Cut Pro, Photos, and iMovie. This allows your applications to change the focal length and aperture in movies, creating an effect bokeheven after recording, for example.

With this novelty, it is possible that we will see famous apps like LumaFusion become compatible with Cinema mode in the near future – although simpler apps, such as social networking ones, can also take advantage of this feature. Anyway, this API has everything to give even more freedom to content creators who have the iPhone as their main capture tool.

The iPhone 14 line, introduced at the end of last year, also brought news related to Cinema mode. As we explain here, with the latest Apple smartphones, it is possible to record videos in this style in 4K (at 24 or 30 frames per second), while the iPhone 13 line models go up to the resolution 1080p.
