Blackmagic Camera App v3.1.2 Adds 1920×1440 Open Gate Recording and Polishes Stability

With the latest 3.1.2 version of the Blackmagic Camera App, the company continues to push the envelope on v3 of the software, adding 1920×1440 Open Gate recording with Apple Log support, among other refinements.

Version 3.1.2 of the Blackmagic Camera App is a fairly small release by Blackmagic's high standards, largely addressing issues and thus mainly falling under the bug squashing category. But the addition of 1920x1440 Open Gate recording with Apple Log is an interesting one, and being able to access new LUTs right after import is definitely going to ease frustration for some.

What's New in Blackmagic Camera App 3.1.2

• Addressed an issue where stabilization could not be switched off.
• Addressed an issue where new LUTs could not be used immediately after import.
• Addressed an issue where recording would fail in some cases with iOS 26.
• Added support for 1920x1440 Open Gate recording with Apple Log.
• Addressed orientation issue with ProRes RAW recordings when orientation lock is enabled.
• General performance and stability fixes.

Rounding up Blackmagic Camera App 3 to Date

It's actually worth backtracking a bit here, because it's a month since Blackmagic Camera App 3.0 was released and we're already on our third update.

V3.0 added a lot of new bells and whistles when it was released simultaneously for iOS and Android on September 9. These included support for syncing clips from remote cameras to the controller, and quick tap access to presets, slate and camera controls, as well as three programmable function buttons.

Not long after that the company added support for two other significant products in the market with v3.1: the new iPhone 17 and its own Blackmagic Camera ProDock, which has already broken new ground for mobile workflows by being used in Apple TV+'s MLB coverage.
