This film made me very nostalgic for the game-changing days of FilmicPro. Thank you, Chris, for all you did to advance mobile filmmaking. And what you continue to do. FilmicPro changed my working life and the way forward for my journalism students.

◾️『タンジェリン』（’15 ショーン・ベイカー） 全編iPhone5sで撮影して当時話題にはなっていたが、作品の評価をまともに聞いたことがなかった。機動性や小型レンズによる収差や深度の深さは作品に寄与していたとは思う。普通のカメラで撮影していた方が、より内容を純粋に評価されたかもとも思う。その土地の風景を埋め込むベイカーの巧さは本作でも発揮されている。 自分も当時、全編iPhoneでドラマを撮ってくれという依頼があって、FilmicProというアプリを使っていろいろテスト撮影したが、低照度時の暗部のデータの間引かれ方がすごくて使いものにならなかった。本作でもオープンナイターはあるのだが、そこまでノイズは感じられない。結構ライティングしているかもしれない。

The apps I’ve seen them buy like @FilmicPro they just turn into insanely priced hike subscription models with no actual feature increase or benefit. I’ve yet to see a great reason for them to buy out anyone.

Yet another service falls victim to @bendingspoons. Feel sorry for all Vimeo users. I’ve now seen multiple apps bought by them like @FilmicPro which once dominated mobile camera space. For years it’s been nothing but “bug fix” updates and insane subscription pricing. Oof.

Yup, they will drop the lifetime service forcing everyone else to rebuy a new subscription model. If one company gets away with it others will do it next and FilmicPro and Adobe paved the way. Everything is now subscription and it’s annoying.

Bait and switch are always the same, they will start with this feature and start pay walling other free foundational features until it's pay only with rave reviews from all the people who used the free version. It ultimately will lead to them forcing lifetime pass holders to buy again to get the "pro" version to re-enable features they also paid for. @FilmicPro and tons of other companies have done this bait and switch and it's because people don't speak up that they get away with it and other companies pick up on their scams and do the same shit. We're going to talk about this on #TechTalk in a few.

So far the only people I really see defending Plex’s bad behavior bait and switching are people who already have a lifetime pass and aren’t impacted. However, know that once companies go down this path they ultimately bait and switch their lifetime pass holders also. Just ask @FilmicPro which I also no longer use despite having a “lifetime” pass. Bait and switch isn’t good regardless of who does it. Charging for core functionality of your “free software” that isn’t dependent on their server infrastructure like “direct connect” which is default in Plex invalidates every review of the product that pushes it to the top of every marketplace. BTW I have a lifetime Plex Pass, I’ve had it for like 10 years. But, you know me well enough by now to know I don’t only engage on issues that negatively impact me. I engage issues that impact others knowing that allowing the bad behavior to go unchecked will ultimately land my door in some form soon enough. There are better ways for Plex and @FilmicPro to do business that doesn’t use people for positive software reviews to place their app at the top of every search engine based on functionality they no longer have that was always available in the free package without any limitations with other parts of the software being “for sale” as upgrades. It’s not an upgrade to take something away and resell it back to people, ever. Just saying, you defend bad behavior because you’re not impacted yet and you will eventually be impacted by letting the company know you’ll tolerate it leading to other companies falling suit. I’m all for paying for good software that is “pay software”. I’m against people using free software to gain positive reviews and migrate people under false pretenses to pull the rug on them after they invested so much time. We will talk about this with @AuxxZillary on #TechTalk at ~11am Pacific on YouTube today.

I already have a lifetime plex pass. That isn’t the point. The point is any company that paywalls core functionality that isn’t dependent on their infrastructure and has always been free before ultimately start going after lifetime pass holders on the end forcing them to buy again. @FilmicPro did the same thing. Also, the amount of press Plex gets from offering a free variant is what made their software popular in the first place and at the head of all store reviews and it’s largely because of the agility to stream content remotely which is its core most functionality. I don’t mind paying for software. But bait and switch always leads to more bait and switch which any good. I don’t complain about only tings that impact me since the doesn’t impact me at all. I complain for the great deal many mothers temple impacted by this type of bad behavior.

I also have a Plex Pass, but bait and switch always leads to lifetime passes also getting invalidated for new builds. @FilmicPro did this and it pissed me off also.

I also have a lifetime Plex Pass. However, that any the point. The point is that core functionality is being pay walled that was always a part of the free package people installed knowing it was free and would remain free. I’m all for time charging for new functionality and server dependent features costing them money but this is literally if your IP isn’t in LAN range you must pay. This always leads to more paywall and eventually being forced to rebuy lifetime passes like @FilmicPro did.

I have no problem with them charging for the relay function since it wasn’t a part of the original software package from day one. But, direct streaming which is the default behavior is how paywalled which makes no sense. It’s pure bait and switch and it won’t end here. Look at what @FilmicPro did.

I always support devs and I even have a Plex pass myself. But a core feature of the free Plex software is to stream remotely and directly and it was never billed as a “limited time only” feature. They are taking free tier features and pay walling them which is the definition of bait and switch. @FilmicPro pulled the same crap ultimately requiring people to buy a whole new program to get the same functionality despite owning lifetime passes. When this behavior is left unchecked they will continue to expand it forcing even paying customers to rebuy crap. Plex owes its popularity to the free version so many people have deployed and rated making it so highly ranked and now they pull the switch knowing it won’t impact their rating much overall. But, I absolutely support developers and want developers to get paid for their work. But not when their popularity is owed to a free version they already make money with serving ads on their own steamed content.

I always pay for software I find useful. But, this is a bait and switch pure and simple. When companies start doing this it’s just a matter of time before your lifetime pass is invalidated requiring a new pass or they break functionality out into another app to force you to rebuy your “lifetime” license just like @FilmicPro did. This has nothing to do with “not paying for good software”. It has everything to do with changing the terms of an agreement to “bait” people into deploying your software only to switch off functionality and place it paywall. I have no problem with them placing server dependent features behind a paywall for “free tier” but direct connection is the default and first option being moved behind the paywall. Not good, and you may defend it now since you have the lifetime pass, but when they go “filmic pro” requiring you to rebuy your lifetime pass maybe you will be a bit more understanding. 🤷

It’s a good idea and would technically work but it adds to the complexity of the setup and routing. But it is a good workaround to get around this. But, if enough people do it plex will just pull another bait and switch. Companies they get away with it keep doing it like @FilmicPro did.

They only pay the rights holders for stuff they offer for sale or stream on their platform. They can’t pay anything for what other people stream themselves since they don’t store the content itself. Again, the direct streaming option should be left alone. This is still bait and switch anyway you cut it. Some people may find it reasonable but it opens the gates for more abuse like @FilmicPro did.

WTF is @plex doing? The only reason to do something like this is to break the original terms like the shitty @FilmicPro pro guys did. I ended up switching to Resolve which is so much better in every way. I don’t support any company after they bait and switch.

やーっと動画を撮ったぞ…。今回はMacとiPhoneを有線接続してQuickTimeの画面録画を使ってiPhoneのモニタリングをしてみたんだけど、画面は見れても操作は出来ないから結局設定にむっちゃ時間かかってしまった。やっぱfilmicproとfilmic remoteの組み合わせが使えた頃が1番やりやすかったなあ。

Preshoot interview recording with @FilmicPro . I did not realize how good iPhone footage could look until I tried this app.
