Mavis Camera has unveiled v7.4 and Film Kit, which brings LUT workflows and Open Gate capture to the iOS app.
Film Kit is an optional in-app purchase that unlocks LUT workflows and Open Gate capture for those using an iPhone or iPad.
Film Kit features a new color workflow that allows users to import custom .cube LUTs and choose whether to preview a look in the viewfinder (without affecting the recording) or burn the LUT into the deliverable. This same approach extends to HDMI inputs when using the Atomos Ninja Phone, allowing Mavis Camera to preview or capture LUT-applied footage from a DSLR or mirrorless camera, as well as the iPhone’s internal camera.
Film Kit also introduces a set of built-in filter LUTs, including Bleach Bypass, Bunny, Cinematic, IR, Monochrome, and Vintage. When a production needs to move quickly from capture to delivery, these looks can be recorded and carried through into downstream workflows such as live streaming or NDI.
The V7.4 update includes support for the following features:
- Record and preview using Custom LUTs
- Achieve a filmic look with built-in Filter LUTs
- Open Gate
- Apple Log 2
- Import .cube files
- Import & Export MLUTs (MavisLUTs) providing support for multiple color spaces in a single LUT
- ProRes 422 HQ
- ATOMOSphere Camera to Cloud
- Quick presets for White Balance
- Improved Shutter Angle selection
- Updated translations
- Multiple bug fixes and improvements
To help simplify color management further, Mavis Camera v7.4 introduces MLUTs (MavisLUTs), a new format that can bundle multiple traditional LUTs and associated metadata into a single file. MLUTs are designed to help teams organize looks more easily, especially when working across different color spaces.
Film Kit also adds Open Gate capture, allowing users to reframe and deliver to different aspect ratios from a single take. Mavis Camera provides two Open Gate modes: one is designed for Apple Log workflows, and one for Rec.709 that can capture above 4K resolution on supported devices. Apple Log 2 is also now supported, reflecting the direction of Apple’s own pro capture workflows.
v7.4 also strengthens cloud support with free ATOMOSphere Camera to Cloud integration, providing progressive uploading to the Atomos ecosystem for review, sharing, and collaboration.
A number of smaller refinements round out the release, including new white balance presets for faster setup, improved shutter-angle selection that snaps to common values (making standards like 180° easier to land reliably), refreshed translations (now fully supporting French, Spanish, Chinese, German, as well as English), and a wide set of bug fixes and performance improvements.
The Mavis Camera app is a free download available from the App Store. Film Kit functionality (including LUTs, MLUTs, and Open Gate) can be unlocked with a one-time in-app purchase of $9.99 USD.
