Apple iPhone 15 Pro Log ProRes video

Hi all,


Can anyone please provide details about the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Log ProRes video files saved to external SSD by Apple's stock camera and Blackmagic Camera app?

I'm referring to 4k 60fps maximum data rate and maximum color depth (bit depth) in particular.

A MediaInfo screenshot would do.

Didi_the_one,


Thank you for clarifying. We were able to find these details:


"Learn about supported resolutions and frame rates

Your iPhone supports ProRes recording using the built-in storage of your iPhone in high dynamic range (HDR), in standard dynamic range (SDR), or in Log encoding.

With iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, you can also record Apple ProRes directly on an external storage device connected with USB-C.

Learn about managing ProRes files on an external storage device.

Your iPhone supports these resolutions and frame rates:

  • ProRes support for 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB storage capacity:
    • 4K at 60 frames per second (fps), iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max only, when using an external storage device that supports speeds of at least 220MB per second and maximum power draw of 4.5W
    • 4K at 30 fps, 25 fps, and 24 fps
    • 1080p HD at 60 fps, 30 fps, and 25 fps
  • ProRes support for 128 GB storage capacity:
    • 1080p HD at 30 fps and 25 fps
    • 4K at 60 frames per second (fps), iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max only, when using an external storage device that supports speeds of at least 220MB per second and maximum power draw of 4.5W"

Hopefully this helps.

Hello Didi_the_one,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


You would just connect an external and start recording footage. These steps may help:


"Connect a USB drive or an SD card reader

  1. Attach the USB drive or SD card reader to the charging port on your iPhone using a compatible connector or adapter.

You may need the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter, Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter, USB-C to SD Card Camera Reader, or Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader (all sold separately).


Note: An external storage device must have only a single data partition, and it must be formatted as APFS, APFS (encrypted), macOS Extended (HFS+), exFAT (FAT64), FAT32, or FAT. To change the formatting of a storage device, use a Mac or PC.

2.Do any of the following:

  • Insert an SD memory card into a card reader: Don’t force the card into the slot on the reader; it fits only one way.


    • Note: You can import photos and videos from the memory card directly to the Photos app. See Import and export photos and videos on iPhone.
    • View the contents of the drive or memory card: In a supported app (for example, Files), tap Browse at the bottom of the screen, then tap the name of the device below Locations. If you don’t see Locations, tap Browse again at the bottom of the screen.
    • Disconnect the drive or card reader: Remove it from the charging port on iPhone.

Note: External hard drives often require an external power source when used with iPhone. If an external hard drive doesn’t supply its own power, and your iPhone has a USB-C connector, you can use a powered USB hub. If your iPhone has a Lightning connector, you can use the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter connected to a USB power adapter."
