Some options do not work on Android phones
am using samsung s23 fe but on luts preview display black same issue in s25 fe many people facing that issue you can also check Reddi posts
still no samsung log support on s24 series
has a lot bugs for months with samsung s24 exynos model it just refuses to let me use the 3x lens
very poor on iqoo 13 android 16👎💰😱🤯😰
The app shows all-green preview screen when my lens is not set to "Auto". It doesn't' matter if I use the same default lens 23 mm, once I remove the Auto thing the preview turns green (and it also happens to 114 mm lens (5x tele lens) and 15 mm. (.6x lens). Which is a pity, considering I initially bought the phone for the lenses, and was ecstatic to know Blackmagic Cam is supported. Can you tell me if this is only on Xiaomi (15T Pro) thing that is not supported or I have to do something else?
not working just black screen in Lut mod
the inbuilt lut was not working when turned on in s25 fe ,plus i downloaded extra lut and imported it ,still the lut is not working when turned on,it is very frustating as i am watching many yt videos to resolve it, where everyone after the import are easily using the lut feature in other android,but i am not
why the poco x7 pro doesn't support 60fps 😭
lut not working on orgin os dimensity. Android 16 and apps like motioncam are much more compatible like 10bit hdr or rec2020 colour space even log is there. improve bro
frame rate not supported in iqoo neo 10r.. no matter how much i set it on 60fps, it keeps crashing into 30fps only...
This just shows a green screen in any of my 3 lenses, i have a vivo x300. This issue has been fixed in the latest update. but the log profile option is still missing in the app. As x300 series supports log profile.
i am using samsung s25 fe and on applying any of the luts my camera is going on to black screen yes it is recording wvery thing but not showing on the pannel does any boday have the solution
Everything about black magic cloud is extremely frustrating. I'm trying to simply automatically backup my videos to the cloud. yet the app refuses to let me select my cloud projects.
"Hello, I am experiencing an issue with a green screen appearing when recording video using the Blackmagic Camera app on my Xiaomi phone. Is there a fix available for this? Thank you." Xiaomi 15t pro
the luts are not working on my s23fe i cant even use it it just black
No auto-ISO with locked shutter and stops recording when you lock the screen. Sadly it's unusable for me.
can't edit and play videos recorded with the last update
download hi nahi ho raha he
The app has a fantastic UI and excellent manual controls for professional recording. However, the Image Stabilization option is completely missing from the settings on my Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus. This makes handheld shooting extremely shaky and unusable without a physical gimbal. Since the phone hardware supports OIS/EIS, please fix this API access issue and add stabilization support for this device in the next update. I will gladly change my rating to 5 stars once this is resolved!
Integration with samsung is very poor. Even with the latest model.
please add stabilization for s23 ultra front camera even eis at least and add some color space like srgb or log it doesn't look good in rec.709
Unable to open the application on Honor Magic 8 Pro, it keeps crashing.
the luts aren't working . the screen is turning black after the luts are turned on
Useless for android and full of bugs. Can't use log with 8k or in open gate. The existing and uploaded LUTs don't work. Only optical image stabilisation was available on the S25 ultra but after an update it is not available any more. New features for S26 ultra like auto iso with 180° shutter angle are not available on s25. Stick to the native app for android. For iPhone I would give 4 stars.
Exporting LUT's doesn't work. I'm on the s24 ultra and cant do anything besides use them in the app.
excellent camera app with terrible lack of stabilization that even blood pulse can cause the footage shiver 🫣🥱 which makes the app useless. can't stop wondering why they have not worked on it so far.
the camera itself is fine, however there are major issues with how it handles memory. mainly the media viewer. it crashes the app if u view too many files one after the other. the memory issue also bleeds into the camera recording pipeline which ends up dropping frames, and creating bad media files, thus breaking media viewer again.
i can't activate lut video on this app, i've already install and then uninstall this app for 3 times and it's still the same, it's a good app but please fix it:) anyway my device is samsung S26
There is a problem (maybe on xiaomi only devices). I can't import luts anymore because the picked doesnt show the .cube files.
Why My Galaxy S26 Cant Add Lut? if i add lut the apps will blackscreen
Please remember the resolution and FPS setting for each camera. It's a pain to repeatedly change the settings just because you touched on a wrong button.
not checking well
Started as a great experience, just like on iOS, but after a few months the app completely broke. The screen turned entirely green on launch, and nothing-reinstalling, updates, or changing settings-fixed it. Autofocus, white balance, and auto lens switching stopped working too. Strangely, recorded videos looked perfectly normal, pointing to a display feed issue. Extremely disappointing from Blackmagic; had to delete the app hoping for a proper Android fix soon. Fix: Use V3.2.1 Dec 25 Patch ✅
It's always fail with luts
