Apple has unveiled the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, marking the company\u2019s boldest step yet into professional video production. With support for ProRes RAW, Apple Log 2, and genlock synchronization, the new models position themselves as powerful filmmaking tools while still enhancing photo performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Apple\u2019s<\/a> Pro iPhone line has steadily evolved into a hybrid device catering to both everyday users and professional creators. The iPhone 17 Pro<\/a> continues this trajectory by bringing workflows typically reserved for cinema cameras directly into a smartphone form factor.<\/p>\n\n

Pro-level video capture with ProRes RAW<\/strong>, and Genlock support<\/h2>\n\n

The headline addition for filmmakers is ProRes RAW recording. This format combines the efficiency of ProRes with the flexibility of RAW, giving editors greater control over color grading, exposure, and detail retention. For the first time, an iPhone can now slot into professional editing pipelines that demand RAW workflows, especially in Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve.<\/p>\n\n

Complementing this is the introduction of Apple Log 2, expanding dynamic range for more cinematic highlight and shadow roll-off. With built-in support for the ACES color standard, iPhone footage can integrate more seamlessly into professional grading environments.<\/p>\n\n

Genlock support is another industry-first for smartphones. Used in multi-camera setups, genlock allows precise synchronization between devices, reducing post-production alignment work and making the iPhone 17 Pro a viable option for multicam shoots, live events, or virtual production stages.<\/p>\n\n

Blackmagic Camera ProDock required for Genlock, and more<\/h2>\n\n

Genlock and timecode support are supported via the new Blackmagic Camera ProDock which seems specifically made for the latest iPhone 17 Pro. On the still that Apple shared of the device in their Apple Event video, we can also see that the device adds DC In for powering the phone, serves as a USB 3.2 (2x) and USB 2 splitter, adds HDMI Out and audio minijack in and out as well. <\/p>\n\n

We don’t have information about pricing and availability of that device yet, but will talk to Blackmagic Design at the upcoming IBC 2025 in Amsterdam to find out more. <\/p>\n\n

Will iPhone 17 Pro ProRes RAW yield better dynamic range and latitude, and is there DCG?<\/h2>\n\n

We ran a full camera Lab Test on the iPhone 15 Pro<\/a> which was the first iPhone to introduce ProRes 422 HQ internal recording and Apple Log. It will be interesting to see how much better the performance of the iPhone 17 Pro will be in our dynamic range and latitude tests compared to iPhone 15 Pro. <\/p>\n\n
