Designed to help filmmakers and content creators unlock their iPhone’s full potential with manual controls, sophisticated film emulations, and advanced video capabilities, Pearla aims to represent a significant advancement and a paradigm shift in mobile photography and videography.
The Pearla app is able to help harness the iPhone's powerful hardware capabilities to deliver professional-grade features that were previously available only in high-end digital cameras. By incorporating industry-standard log profiles and a film emulation system, Pearla can help bring the technical sophistication of professional photography and videography workflows to mobile creators.
The big news here is that the Pearla app can now capture cinematic depth with 10-bit video support. The app also now features expanded pro color spaces that will help creators seamlessly integrate their mobile footage into professional workflows with new Log profiles: Canon C-Log3, Blackmagic Design Film Gen 5, ARRI LogC3, DJI D-Log, Fujifilm F-Log, Sony S-Log2, Sony S-Log3, Nikon N-Log, and Panasonic V-Log.
The app will also now feature True Film Emulation with some meticulously crafted simulations that replicate the nuanced color science and texture of classic film stocks, offering authentic analog results. The app will also now allow open-gate video recording to help creators maximize creative flexibility by capturing the full sensor area for unparalleled reframing options in post-production.
For those trying the app out for the first time, Pearla requires an iPhone device running iOS 17 or later and requires a subscription to use with plans starting at $3.99 a month. You can check out the Pearla app on the Apple App Store here.
