iSee4k updated for iPhone; new features.

[Ed Watkins]

Hi all.

Apple "finally" decided to o.k my update to iSee4K my free iPhone app.

I updated the GUI to a sexy new look.
I made it build 17 compatible.
And, I added some new features.

The new features are:
* 4Kstore Reverse storage calculator (Space/Time)
* 4kStore now shows results in number of media
* 4KFlow added to help time data transfer rates, and estimate file crunching time.

Updates:
* Added Save States for all data
* Slick sexy updated GUI (no more grey text)
* RED Build 17 compatible

Removed:
* Lens2Lens (never really used it, let me know if you did, and I may add it back).

The iSee4K help site will be updated shortly.

Enjoy,

Ed.

Yep, great job, and when will there be other applications or platforms apart from ipod's?

Perhaps Ed is too humble to mention it, but remember iSee4K is donationware. If you are using it, please encourage development of Red apps by donating the $7.50 thru his site. www.isee4k.com

I think it is important for us as a community to support those who give their time an energy to make useful tools for us. iSee4k is a great little app that has just gotten much better.

good call b.

I used lens2lens quite a bit for frame rate changes because focal lengths would be changing so much between 2k, 3k, and 4k that the lens2lens allows plugging in different lenses without having to consider the 2x or 1.5x conversions. Not crucial but a nice tool for speeding things up.

 

[Charles Angus]

Lens2lens was an ok feature, it would be a really great feature if it had Nikon 1.5x and Canon 1.6x (cropped 16:9, 1.85, 2.40), and a bevy of film formats (1.85 Academy, S35 1.85, S35 2.40, Anamorphic, would be great).

I use my Canon 20d on scouts as a convenient viewfinder, and this would make it even more useful.

Great app, btw.

Loved Lens2Lens

Loved Lens2Lens

Used it the most, sorry to see it gone. It'd be nice to get it back, please.

 

[Ed Watkins]

Never fear, I'm working on putting it back in, just need to find a logical spot to put it in.
It will be added back in the next update.

What would you think about a framing util, punch in format, lens, and distance, and it will show a drawing of a person in the frame (maybe you could even move the person around with the touchscreen).

Would be handy for showing directors lens options when the luxury of a directors finder (or a director with a good hand for lenses isn't around.

Thanks for the suggestion Charles, but I just haven't got the time/money to compete with more fully featured apps like pCam (which has this feature and costs $40), I wrote iSee4k on my own time between shoots.
(pCam cost $12,000 to develop).

However.... If someone can find out the actual lens focal length of the iPhone camera, and its sensor size, so I can find out the angle of view of the images it produces. Then I might be tempted to have a play and see if I can't build a separate app that does something a little cooler than rendering an line image of a person. I've always wondered if you could use the camera for framing examples.

An iPhone Director's Finder!!! You would sell a million copies of that one. Has anyone seen ANY directors or DP's in the last year who do not have an iPhone?

With the rumored multi-megapixel camera on the next gen iPhones this app could only get better.

Hi Ed,

no doubt you're already working on this, but will there be an update to cover the new RedCode framerates and 4.5K spec?

Cheers!
