Mavis Camera 7.4 Adds LUT Workflows and Open Gate Capture

The new Mavis Camera 7.4 adds Film Kit, an optional in-app purchase that unlocks LUT workflows and Open Gate capture for creators who want a more cinematic look. ATOMOSphere support has been added too.

Some interesting new enhancements from Mavis Camera, which has added the new Film Kit option to its latest v7.4 and made the iOS/iPadOS immediately more capable of generating cinematic looks. And on paper it looks to add a decent amount of functionality for a one-off $9.99.

Basically, the new software introduces a new color workflow which means that creators can now 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.

Usefully, this same approach extends to HDMI inputs when using 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.

Handily Film Kit also comes with a set of built-in filter LUTs, including Bleach Bypass, Bunny, Cinematic, IR, Monochrome, and Vintage, all designed to give shots a filmic character with minimal setup. 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.

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.

Open Gate Introduced

Film Kit also adds Open Gate capture, giving creators the freedom 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.

ATOMOSphere & More

V7.4 also strengthens its 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.

Pricing and Availability 

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 or local equivalent.
