Mavis has released version 7.4 of its Mavis Camera app for iPhone and iPad. The update introduces Film Kit, an in-app purchase priced at USD $9.99, aimed at users who want professional colour workflows and more flexible framing options.
The Film Kit enables custom .cube LUT import, letting users either preview looks in the viewfinder or bake them into the recorded footage. According to Mavis, this behaviour also applies to HDMI feeds coming from an Atomos Ninja Phone, so users can preview or record LUT-applied video from DSLR or mirrorless cameras in the same interface.
A small library of built-in filter LUTs (Bleach Bypass, Bunny, Cinematic, IR, Monochrome, and Vintage) provides preset looks for quick creative output. These can be used either for final recording or live preview during shoots, and carried forward into downstream workflows such as NDI streaming.
MLUTs and colour management
The update introduces a new format called MLUTs (MavisLUTs), which groups multiple LUTs and their metadata into a single file. Mavis states this is intended to make it easier for teams to organise looks across different colour spaces and productions.
Support for Apple Log 2 has been added to align with Apple’s newer professional capture profiles, while Open Gate capture enables full-sensor recording for later reframing or multi-aspect delivery. Two Open Gate modes are offered: one for Apple Log workflows and one for Rec. 709, both capable of recording above 4K on compatible devices.
Integration with ATOMOSphere
Version 7.4 extends the app’s cloud connectivity by integrating ATOMOSphere Camera-to-Cloud (C2C). The connection enables progressive upload to the Atomos ecosystem for review and collaboration directly from iOS devices.
Refinements and performance
Other improvements include new white-balance presets for faster setup, improved shutter-angle snapping to standard values such as 180 degrees, expanded translation support (French, Spanish, Chinese, German, and English), and general performance updates.
Mavis Camera remains a free download on the App Store, with Film Kit unlocking the new LUT, MLUT and Open Gate functionality through a one-time purchase. As always, users should verify performance and compatibility in their own workflows before deploying the update in production environments – “Pro” is a very fuzzy term these days.
