MoviePro4.1
Codecs#
Choose the codec in Settings › Video Format › Video Encoding. The codec decides which color modes, resolutions and frame rates the rows below it can offer, and where the file may be recorded.
| Codec | Requires | Limits |
|---|---|---|
| HEVC | Any supported device. | 8-bit for Rec.709 8-bit; 10-bit for Rec.709 10-bit, HDR and Log. Data rate set by Video Quality. |
| H.264 | Any supported device. | 8-bit only: Rec.709 8-bit or HLG HDR 8-bit. Not available with Rec.709 10-bit or Apple Log. Data rate set by Video Quality. |
| ProRes 422, 422 HQ, 422 LT, 422 Proxy | A camera with 10-bit 4:2:2 formats (ProRes-capable Pro models). Otherwise recording cannot start ("ProRes format unavailable"). | 10-bit only; Rec.709 8-bit is recorded as 10-bit. Fixed data rates. Some formats, such as 4K at 60 fps on some models, can record only to an external SSD: iOS refuses internal storage and MoviePro asks for an SSD. ProRes 4444 is not offered. |
| ProRes RAW, ProRes RAW HQ | A camera with ProRes RAW formats (iPhone 17 Pro and later); main rear camera only. | Records only to an external SSD or Pro Video Storage; see Choose a save destination. Fixed full-sensor 4.2K sizes, no aspect or crop. Up to 30 fps at 4224 × 3024 and 60 fps at the other sizes. Fixed data rates. |
Video Quality
For HEVC and H.264 only: Low, Medium, High (default), Very High or Extreme. Each row shows its data rate in Mbps for the current resolution, frame rate and color mode. Long-Record Mode and frame rates above 60 fps use the system data rate instead.

Frame rates#
Choose the rate in Settings › Video Format › Frame Rate. The list shows only rates this device supports at the chosen resolution; it does not check the codec or color mode.
| Rate | Notes |
|---|---|
| 23.98, 29.97, 59.94 | Exact NTSC timing. Pro holds the rate with manual exposure, or on iOS 26 and later with a locked frame duration that keeps auto exposure. If the rate cannot be held, the take is refused rather than recorded at 24, 30 or 60. |
| 24, 25, 30 | Standard cinema and broadcast rates. |
| 48, 50, 60 | 48 and 50 use the camera's 60 fps formats. |
| 100, 120, 200, 240 | High frame rates, by device and resolution; 100 and 200 use the 120 and 240 fps formats and are refused if the rate cannot be held. The file plays in real time: MoviePro has no slow-motion setting, so slow the clip down in your editor. What changes above 60 fps: Recording-mode limits. |
Dual Capture records integer rates up to 30 fps; 23.98 and 29.97 are recorded as 24 and 30.
