The highly anticipated new Lumix flagship is here – but along with the launch of the Panasonic S1R II, the company has also launched a new app. The strange part? Videographers don’t need the S1R II – or even a Panasonic branded camera – to use it. The Lumix Flow app is designed to help videographers manage their workflow, from storyboarding to tracking shot lists. It even includes a mode designed for planning, shooting and editing all from a smartphone.
As the name suggests, Lumix Flow is all about workflow. The app is designed to help videographers plan and shoot footage for a large project. Some features will be reserved for supported cameras. For example, the app can turn a smartphone into an external monitor. But, Panasonic explains that many of the features, like the storyboarding and shot lists, can be used with any camera.
