Blackmagic Design has just released version 2.2 of its Blackmagic Camera app for Android, bringing a number of notable enhancements that continue to close the gap between mobile and professional filmmaking workflows. The update introduces support for Blackmagic Cloud Folders, the new APV (Advanced Professional Video) codec on Android 16, and several UI and stability improvements. Originally launched for iOS and later made available for Android, the Blackmagic Camera app is designed to transform smartphones into viable filmmaking tools. It offers a user interface and feature set that mirrors the experience of Blackmagic’s professional URSA and Pocket Cinema Camera lines, enabling filmmakers to capture high-quality video while leveraging the power and portability of mobile devices.

It also allows for recording in professional file formats, including ProRes on iOS and, more recently, Blackmagic’s proprietary Advanced Professional Video (APV) codec on compatible Android devices. Additionally, seamless integration with Blackmagic Cloud and DaVinci Resolve workflows has made it an attractive option for creators looking to streamline mobile-to-post pipelines.
