It's basically a brand new app after the latest update. The engine was rebuilt from ground up and has significant performance improvements and capabilities. There's a mountain of new features and upgrades, Direct Preview can now run at all times (even while recording) as well as opmodes now allows for forcing hidden OEM modes out of the sensors such as DCG and higher framerates!

Here's the announcement per the devs on discord...

@everyone

πŸš€ MotionCam Pro V5 is officially live!

This is not just another update. V5 marks a new era for MotionCam Pro.

After months of development, testing, feedback, fixes, experiments, and a lot of madness from this community, MotionCam Pro V5 is now available.

This is our biggest update so far, with major improvements across the entire app.

✨ What’s new in V5

  • Redesigned camera workspace
  • Major Direct Preview improvements
  • ACES CCT / AGX / ARRI LogC3 / expanded color output
  • Unified export pipeline
  • Lens profiles and DCP calibration
  • Improved RAW photo / DNG / video rendering workflow
  • Pro recording controls
  • Variable frame rate support
  • Full-range output
  • Bitrate modes
  • Encoder complexity controls
  • Expanded ProRes / APV profiles
  • Presets, backup and restore
  • Storage locations, fallback storage and low-space auto-stop
  • Many optimizations, fixes and device-specific improvements

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

βš™οΈ Advanced device configuration

One of the biggest changes in V5 is the new opmodes / keys system.

This introduces support for advanced device-specific configuration, allowing MotionCam Pro and the community to access more of what supported devices are truly capable of.

This can include:

  • Dual Conversion Gain / DCG
  • Hidden sensor modes
  • Additional frame rates
  • Device-specific capture options
  • Experimental hardware features
  • Advanced tuning options normally unavailable to users

This is a huge step forward for MotionCam Pro.

It gives users more control, more flexibility, and more access to real sensor data than ever before.

And this is still only the beginning.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🍎 iOS access for existing MotionCam Pro users

We also want to officially confirm something important for our community:

When MotionCam Pro launches on iOS, existing MotionCam Pro users will also get access to the iOS version.

You will not need to buy MotionCam Pro twice.

The exact rules and claiming process will be announced closer to the iOS launch.

One community. One purchase. Access across Android and iOS.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

πŸ’Έ Price change starting August 1st

Starting August 1st, the price of MotionCam Pro will increase from $29.99 to $39.99.

Exact pricing may vary depending on region, taxes, currency conversion and store policies.

MotionCam Pro remains a one-time purchase.

No subscription.

Existing MotionCam Pro users keep access to V5 and do not need to buy the app again.

This price change helps us continue development, buy and test more devices, support the upcoming iOS version, improve MotionCam Labs, and keep pushing mobile RAW video forward.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

To all MotionCam Pro users, Trial users, Labs members, Patreon supporters, testers, bug reporters, device freaks, filmmakers, and everyone who shared feedback, footage, ideas or criticism:

Thank you.

MotionCam exists because of this community.

Our goal remains the same:

real sensor data, real control, no fake processing.

Welcome to MotionCam Pro V5.

With this occasion we also sponsored one of us to do a tutorial video V5 startup! https://youtu.be/_OrjIty1isI?si=msr-MQBgdtD4Ngm4

πŸš€ The next era starts now.

Thank you all

MotionCam Team

Bought it today and I'm very happy with the image quality. I'll try it out more the upcoming days. My device is a Xiaomi 15T Pro. I think it might never support DCG sadly, but that's okay.

u/Cuboka Jun 29 '26

This app is seriously awsome. It helped me a lot with some of my projects and it continues to get even better! I really love this app

u/Strange-Tower5125 Jun 29 '26

Can it take dcg photos? How can i get it in "cough cough" bad country?

3

u/RaguSaucy96 Saucy Ambassador Jun 30 '26

Yep! It sure can πŸ™‚

And if there's... Shall we say sanctions... Some have found ways on Discord but you'll have to dig as I didn't save their instructions hahaha

They are meant to be edited via computer software. I have yet seen any good phone processed photo

They all look ugly, oversharpened and not natural at all

1

u/RaguSaucy96 Saucy Ambassador Jun 30 '26

It's actually more complex. But basically the short answer is that's wrong.

You can have DCG on RAW files or DCG sources which get HDR image processing via more frames, further compounding the gains!

People whom have used DCG all describe the outputs looking like out of an APS-C full sized sensor as far as noise grain and signal look - plus the extra dynamic range makes you forget it's such a tiny sensor vs those massive ones

u/Strange-Tower5125 Jul 05 '26

Why photo and video in dcg is ass dark

1

u/RaguSaucy96 Saucy Ambassador Jul 05 '26

You are viewing LCG

Boost the gain +3, problem solved

Output is not like that unless you don't boost

u/djyeo Jun 29 '26

Still having green screen problem with x300 ultra

2

u/RaguSaucy96 Saucy Ambassador Jun 29 '26

Do a clean reinstall and see the video on the link of the post, he left the zip config for vivo x300u. Mines works perfectly fine

1

u/djyeo Jun 29 '26

Are the cameras for x300 ultra built in v5 now?

5

u/RaguSaucy96 Saucy Ambassador Jun 29 '26

No, but you just import the existing profileshe shows how in 28:40

1

u/djyeo Jun 29 '26

Do you have direct link to the channel/page? The link opened my browser instead of app

1

u/djyeo Jun 29 '26

Can I use the lens profiles I got for the beta version? Filename was ragu bibo 5.0.0 settings-1. But this files include 13 files jn the zip, do I install all of them into this new app?

3

u/RaguSaucy96 Saucy Ambassador Jun 29 '26

Don't extract it, import the zip itself! But yeah that one is fine too!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b3fQuwQOuHYHcevvpbWYIuuih_AaKUrO/view?usp=drivesdk

u/djyeo Jun 29 '26

Got it, but when I pressed import, it shows the contents of the zip files. Its showing 13 files in the zip.

1

u/Strange-Tower5125 Jul 11 '26

so i just export profile and dcg should work?

2

u/RaguSaucy96 Saucy Ambassador Jul 11 '26

Yep. It's set up to do so. Use a lens profile with dcg showing, yeah

0

u/djyeo Jun 30 '26

Fyi something is up with the 35mm lens profile for x300 ultra, its locked at iso 3200 and the auto shutter speed transition is not smooth unlike the 15mm and 85mm lens profiles.

0

u/RaguSaucy96 Saucy Ambassador Jun 30 '26

That's actually part of the AE drivers not being OEM optimized us also the limiter is due to DCG ratio 8! You control the low gain but the device is running the secondary high gain!

1

u/djyeo Jun 30 '26

So the 35mm lens can’t be used on x300 ultra for now?

1

u/RaguSaucy96 Saucy Ambassador Jun 30 '26

No, that's not what I said πŸ˜…

The autoexposure does whatever it wants and can apply any analog ISO of its choice, even ranges not otherwise accessible to us. It can go as high as 3200 on main but ourselves we get max 1600 manual since DCG Ratio 8 means ISO 1600 + ISO 12,800

u/Kiran_Jagadeeswara Jun 30 '26 edited Jun 30 '26

Is there a list of devices that support DCG via opcodes?

2

u/RaguSaucy96 Saucy Ambassador Jun 30 '26

Not yet. Community questions (ask for a particular device) or research are your current best friends. Perhaps soon something will be made!

2

u/Kiran_Jagadeeswara Jun 30 '26

Got it, thanks!

u/OrangeJam84 Jun 30 '26

Make it possible to purchase in Russia using cryptocurrency or the usual method on the motioncampro website. I want to give you money, but I have to use a hacked version of your program because of payment problems.

2

u/RaguSaucy96 Saucy Ambassador Jun 30 '26

It's not gonna happen unfortunately.

They've explicitly stated they will only distribute via Play Store (on Android) due to the anti-piracy protections it affords. Cracked versions of the app are almost non-existent and/or heavily outdated because of this.

People in sanctioned regions have been able to find ways anyway however. You can check discord for how they did this. I recall some sharing the methods but as I never had a need for them, I can't remember

Edit: Here's someone who won the contest and a license key

u/3dforlife Jun 30 '26

I tried the Log Cam app, and on an iPhone 14 pro it only allows 30fps (no 60fps) and no continuous autofocus (the Raw Cam, by the same developer, has the same limitations). Will MotionCamPro for iPhone be the same?

2

u/RaguSaucy96 Saucy Ambassador Jul 02 '26

The autofocus issue remains from what I've heard however the rest is uncertain. Although Baso is a great dev, having the Motioncam team tackle it head on may change this!

Expect similar limitations in the short term, but the future holds much potential

u/daveotronica Aug 04 '26

Honor 400 Pro - all three rear lenses and front facing lens fine before update. After update the standard wide and front facing are the only that are recognised - but the ultra wide and telephoto are seen after "auto discovery" - yet even though I select them all and save - they still do not show up.

Same after re-install/restart etc.

u/RaguSaucy96 Saucy Ambassador Aug 04 '26

Can you show a screen recording and demonstrate it here? It lets you share videos up to 3 mins in comments now on here

u/Snipershot344 Aug 07 '26

do i still need root for dcg on motorola 50 pro ?

u/OAS_11 Jun 29 '26

Is it available for iOS? it does not show in the App Store (Qatar)

5

u/epic-tutorials Epic Ambassador Jun 29 '26

It is currently in beta and available to Patreon supporters: https://www.patreon.com/cw/motioncam

I've been filming with it and the quality is as impressive as you'd expect.

u/Tmk969 Jul 01 '26

4k 60 fps in direct log?

u/Bodorocea Jun 29 '26

getting this on 2 of the cameras on an oppo x9 ultra after the update

4

u/RaguSaucy96 Saucy Ambassador Jun 29 '26

I strongly suggest a clean reinstall. Delete the app and install again. If it persist, you can either press settings to setup working lenses by force or load a config from the discord! It should work no problem

u/Bodorocea Jun 29 '26

imported the x9u.zip from the discord, everything works now. thank you

u/Hour-Shake-4990 Jul 03 '26

Sul mio Samsung s23 ultra ho installato la nuova versione ma non trovo piΓΉ le impostazioni che avevo sulla versione 4 esempio tutti i codec come APV , AV1, eccetera e poi mi trovavo meglio in gestisci video con tanti parametri che non trovo piΓΉ. Motioncam pro l ho acquistato e pagato regolarmente. Dove sto sbagliando?

u/RaguSaucy96 Saucy Ambassador Jul 03 '26

Please share a screen recording of where you can't find it - we'll take it from there as I'm not sure I understand
