iPhone in Log Mode Shoots Beautiful Footage. Now What?
If you shoot Apple Log on your iPhone, you already know the tradeoff: incredible dynamic range, but footage that looks flat, grey, and desaturated straight out of the camera. That look is intentional. Log preserves shadow and highlight detail that standard color profiles clip. But to share it, stream it, or cut it into a project, you need to convert it to a standard color space like Rec.709.
Doing that manually, clip by clip, in a color grading app, adds hours to every shoot. LogGate Pro removes that step entirely.
What LogGate Pro Does
LogGate Pro is a video conversion app for iPhone and Mac. You drop in your Apple Log or Apple Log 2 footage, choose your output settings, and get back vibrant, broadcast-ready Rec.709 video. The color transform is precise — it uses the actual Apple Log transfer function and color primaries to maintain accurate skin tones, clean shadows, and proper highlights.
No guesswork. No manual adjustments. Just correct color, every time.
Apple Log 2 Support from Day One
LogGate Pro includes full Apple Log 2 support for iPhone 17 Pro. The app automatically detects which Log version your footage uses — Apple Log or Apple Log 2 — and applies the correct conversion. You do not need to tag clips manually or keep track of which phone captured which files.
Built for Real Workflows
The queue accepts unlimited clips. Add videos before processing starts, or drop in more files while the queue is already running. Right-click any item to duplicate it with identical settings, or re-run a clip if you want to try a different codec. Detailed processing logs are saved automatically for every session.
Output options give you control over the format that fits your next step:
- H.264 — smallest files, universal playback, default for social media
- HEVC — 50% smaller than H.264 at the same quality, ideal for archival
- ProRes — lossless, ready for professional editing software
Your Footage Stays on Your Device
Every conversion runs entirely on your device. LogGate Pro does not upload files, does not require an account, and does not connect to any server. There is no analytics, no tracking, and no subscription. You pay once and own it.
LogGate Pro is available on the App Store for $19.99.
