## Description

Filmic Legacy is a Chrome extension available to filmmakers who paid for Filmic Pro v6 before August 25, 2022. It will continue to receive bug fixes but will not gain new features. It preserves the core Filmic Pro v6 experience with a responsive manual shooting workflow, true LOG gamma, and in-camera looks, adapted for Chrome workflows. Note that Multicam is not included; use the companion DoubleTake app for multicam needs.

This extension consolidates v6 banner features and foundation features such as dual arc sliders, live analytics (zebras, false color, focus peaking), Frame.io Camera to Cloud, 8-bit/10-bit support, ProRes on newer devices, multiple aspect ratios, gamma curve controls, and cloud-synced presets via FiLMiC Sync. It also supports external hardware and audio options, with sharing to iOS apps and various encoding options. Note that Multicam is not included; use DoubleTake for multicam needs.

## Review summary

User reviews cluster around a controversial move from a one-time purchase to a subscription, with many reporting audio recording problems and other bugs after updates. The legacy version remains available and is valued by users who previously bought Filmic Pro, and support can help reclaim legacy purchases. However, the overall sentiment is negative due to the pricing change and perceived diminished value, as features and reliability seem tied to ongoing payments. The top concerns are the subscription model, audio/feature gaps behind paywalls, and confusing access to legacy licenses, along with recurring bugs in newer releases.

### Pros

- Legacy version remains available for download, preserving access to previously purchased features and videos.
- Support staff can assist users in regaining access to legacy purchases.
- The legacy app is still a capable tool for professional video work for users who prefer not to upgrade yet.

### Cons

- Switch to a subscription model is seen as a bait-and-switch and is widely criticized for increasing ongoing costs.
- Core functionality such as audio recording is broken in recent updates, making the app unusable for many.
- Many essential features migrated behind the new subscription, reducing value for current or casual users.
- Accessing legacy purchases is confusing or not reliably communicated, with some users unable to reclaim their old license.
- New updates introduce bugs and annoyances (e.g., export errors, ads, and upgrade prompts).
