Apple launches Final Cut Camera app to support multicam productions

Apple is releasing a new Final Cut Camera app for iPhone and iPad that can take video and stream it live back to an iPad for a Multicam shoot, as well as provide more controls for filmmakers. The company’s new pro-level app provides “precise manual controls” and can be used as a plain standalone camera app.

The new Final Cut Camera is launching alongside the updated Final Cut 2 app, a successor to last year’s debut Final Cut for iPad. Final Cut 2 has a multiscreen view that captures and controls each Final Cut Camera-running device connected to it.

Apple’s iOS platform is home to many similar multicam tools, including the industry-choice BlackMagic Camera app.

Correction, June 21st: An earlier version of this article misstated features of Final Cut Pro 2 and Final Cut Camera. They cannot be used to live cut a multi-cam shoot.
