If you shoot on an iPhone 17 Pro, you know the power of Apple Log footage. But you also know the problem: Log looks flat until you convert it, and even converted footage can benefit from strategic upscaling for wider distribution.
That’s where LogGate Pro and LogGate Frame come in. Together, they form a complete post-production workflow for iPhone filmmakers—and both are available now at $19.99 intro pricing (through July 2026).
## The Challenge: Log + Resolution
iPhone 17 Pro’s Apple Log 2 capture is incredible. But two things happen in post:
1. **Conversion bottleneck**: Log footage has to be converted to Rec.709 before color grading. Most tools are slow, cloud-based, or overkill for creators.
2. **Resolution ambition**: You want 4K output for premium platforms (YouTube, Vimeo, festival submissions). But upscaling cheap software destroys detail and color.
Professional tools handle these separately. Now you don’t have to.
## Step 1: LogGate Pro — Convert Apple Log to Rec.709
LogGate Pro is a native macOS app built for Apple Silicon. It handles Apple Log 1, Apple Log 2, ProRes RAW, HLG, and PQ/HDR10—all with zero cloud dependencies.
**Why Pro first:**
– Convert in under 5 minutes per hour of footage (Apple Silicon)
– Smart Framing auto-crops for multiple aspect ratios (16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 1:1) with facial detection
– Output H.264, HEVC (with 10-bit preservation), or ProRes 422
– Batch processing on M-series Macs runs parallel exports automatically
– All processing stays on your device—no privacy concerns
## Step 2: LogGate Frame — Upscale Without Losing Quality
Once your footage is graded, LogGate Frame handles the upscaling challenge. Using MetalFX technology on Apple Silicon, Frame intelligently upscales your footage for wider distribution—4K output from HD source, or 8K from 4K.
## Real Workflow: Start to Finish
Here’s how a typical iPhone filmmaker uses both:
1. **Shoot**: iPhone 17 Pro in Apple Log 2 mode
2. **Convert** (Pro): Import into LogGate Pro → Smart Framing crops to 16:9 → Convert → 5 min elapsed
3. **Color**: Open in Final Cut Pro → grade the Rec.709 file → export
4. **Upscale** (Frame): Import graded footage → queue upscale to 4K → 2 min processing
5. **Deliver**: Upload 4K file to YouTube → ready
## Pricing: Now at Intro Rates
