“#The iPhone 13’s Cinematic mode will change mobile videos forever<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s App<\/a>le event was pretty low-key, as far as these things usually go. There wasn\u2019t much we didn\u2019t already know from rumors over the past few weeks, and the hardware changes in the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro were largely what you\u2019d expect from yearly updates.<\/p>\n

Instead, the coolest announcement may have been a software one \u2014 albeit one enabled by the new A15 Bionic processor. It\u2019s called Cinematic mode, and I think it\u2019s going to majorly change the way people create video content with their smartphones.<\/p>\n

On the surface, it isn\u2019t anything that special. It\u2019s essentially portrait mode for video, which we all knew was coming sooner or later, and which Android manufacturers have been using for some time now.<\/p>\n

But as often is the case when iPhones are late to a feature first available on Android competitors, Cinematic mode is more interesting than anything I\u2019ve seen from other manufacturers.<\/p>\n

First things first: you can check it out for yourself in this 87-second short film Apple made.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8Tl1RL8MRCA<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not perfect, but it\u2019s pretty darn awesome.<\/p>\n

Rather than simply adding a background blur to your video subjects, Apple instead, ahem, focused<\/em> on how such a feature might be useful for videographers.<\/p>\n

So instead the company sought to replicate a technique used by filmmakers called a rack focus or focus pulling. This is essentially when the camera shifts focus and blurs out a subject at one depth in order to bring attention to a person or thing at another depth.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s something you might not have thought about much, but it is used in just about every movie you\u2019ve ever seen. It\u2019s also really hard to do right. It\u2019s so crucial, in fact, that in a professional film set there\u2019s usually a person (known as the first assistant camera<\/a>) whose primary job is just to operate the camera\u2019s focus ring.<\/p>\n

Granted, on a professional camera you also tend to have far shallower depth of field, so focusing properly is much more important than for most mobile videos where subjects are already largely in focus. Still, the technique offers myriad creative opportunities as well, and that\u2019s what Apple sought to replicate.<\/p>\n

Apple tried to make the feature as easy as can be. If you have a subject in the background and another one walks into the foreground, the camera will automatically shift its depth of field effect. If your foreground subject looks away from the camera the camera will shift back to background subject.<\/p>\n

You can also just tap on different subjects to initiate a rack pull, and the camera will attempt to change focus smoothly rather than immedia<\/a>tely jumping to another subject in a very uncinematic fashion. And not only do you get control over the amount of depth effect \u2014 sometimes a subtle effect is all you need \u2014 but you can also change the rack focus after<\/em> you\u2019ve taken a video. That\u2019s not something you can do with a regular camera, and it honestly looks better than I expected for Apple\u2019s first try.<\/p>\n

Let me be clear; it\u2019s still obvious to anyone who\u2019s ever spent more than a few minutes with a high-end camera that the effect is digital, at least upon a little inspection. As with portrait mode, edges can be rough, and I can only imagine that in the real-world the effect will be even less pristine than in Apple\u2019s carefully curated clips.<\/p>\n

But this is just the start. And in any case, in video form, these rough edges might be significantly less distracting than they are in photos; motion means it\u2019s easier to ignore these issues. Not to mention that video quality on YouTube and typical social media platforms isstill lower than for still image quality, making it harder to see these artifacts.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d bet you the prototype iPhone 14 I found in a bar (JK Apple, don\u2019t come for me), that you\u2019re going to start seeing Cinematic mode in social media videos everywhere <\/em>and that within the next couple of years every other Android manufacturer will be doing the same thing.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only going to get better over time too. The depth illusion will become more realistic, and who knows, maybe we\u2019ll even get more creative effects like an anamorphic<\/a> mode in the future. Coupled with the addition of ProRes compression<\/a> for significantly better raw video quality, and the iPhone 13 is looking more like a useful tool for filmmakers and video content creators than ever.<\/p>\n
