About Magic Reds ViewFinder
PLEASE READ: this app does not turn your Apple device into an external monitor, but operates as a stand-alone tool.
The app contains ad banners, which can be turned off with additional in-app purchase (in 'About the App' menu).
The app is a digital directors viewfinder - it helps you see the exact field of view for your future shot. Select the camera from the menu and rotate the wheel to select the focal length of the lens.
Supported cameras ( http://www.red.com/products ):
- Helium 8K
- Gemini
- Weapon 8K
- Scarlet-W,
- Weapon Dragon
- Epic Dragon / Mysterium-X
- Scarlet Dragon / Mysterium-X
- Red One
Magic ViewFinder simulates using tele adapters or anamorphic optics on your camera. From the menu you can also select the aspect ratio of the frame guide overlaying your image.
Magic ViewFinder also lets you apply some commonly used color presets (also known as LUTs) to the live picture, which brings you even closer to the final shot.
When you have found the right view, you may save it for future reference, with additional data like the focal length, date and time and camera / lens information.
While taking a photo, you may lock exposure and turn on and off the auto focus to better control the captured picture.
You can set camera to work in constant auto-focus mode, or lock the focus temporarily. You can also tap the live screen to focus on particular objects (which turns on the focus-locked mode).
White balance may work in Auto, Locked or Manual mode.
If the field of view of your real camera is wider than your in-device camera, the app adds 'padding' around the image, since the device cannot 'see' what is beyond. It is the best solution that we developed first amongst other viewfinder apps.
Please note that position of your iPhone or iPad should correspond to the 'nodal point' of your real lens, which is somewhere in the middle of the lens.
Ad policy: The ads are designed to appear non-intrusively. Ads can be turned off (see below).

C2C integration is fantastic!
A very useful tool! All that’s missing is the addition V-Raptor and Komodo to the camera list.

Komodo ?
Please, please, please add a camera preset for Komodo. The Frame.io integration is so useful. In fact the Frame.io C2C(camera to cloud) integration is the killer feature. Whether for scouting with actual lens accuracy as to what lens(es) and focal lengths you’ll need or to on set inspirations for new ideas and the ability to share easily with crew and execute right away. Think you can get by with one lens? This app will prove it. Finicky about focal lengths? Try them all out with this app and have proof that you really do need that 12 lens package with still photos and video to show and most importantly share with others. This is a true preproduction and production tool that is very useful!
