iPhone 16 Pro Max Problems Recording ProRes 4K 120FPS To An External USB-C SSD Using The Samsung T7

Описание: Testing ProRes 4K 120FPS with the iPhone 16 Pro Max using the popular Samsung T7 as its external USB-C SSD, should have been a very easy test with a simple and conclusive answer.

However, as you seen in the video the Apple Camera App recording of ProRes 4K 120FPS with the T7 had an error after over 30 minutes of what seemed to be a good recording. The video file also didn't record 120FPS. MediaInfo identified it as around 98FPS and Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve Studio identified it as 100FPS. Although, the file did seem to be a full recording regardless of the anomalies.

When using the Blackmagic Camera App the results were better but still confusing. While there was a relatively short shot recorded before the app stopped recording. Presumably due to a dropped frame detection. The file was 120FPS, it did play properly, but Resolve identified the recoding as being shorter than what the Blackmagic Camera App reported it.

I also used a Sabrent 10Gb/s USB-C cable to connect the T7 to the iPhone because it's shorter than my Samsung cable. This cable is perfect as it works with faster drives on my iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro Max. You can see this cable in use in this speed test video.

I have seen another YouTuber saying that the T7 works with 4K 120FPS ProRes. However, in their video they did not show it working, they did not show any footage being used in an NLE, so obviously never confirmed anything about how the footage was identified by their NLE. Basically. In fact, they did not even say what NLE they were using or what computer platform. Basically, they showed no proof of it working whatsoever.

So if anyone want's to contest the results of this video, then prove your point with a video that's as thorough as mine, which shows a long recording and it working in an NLE. It's far too easy for YouTubers to make claims without irrefutable proof or evidence.

Here's the stuff I used in this video. I would still recommend the T7 for up to 4K 60FPS ProRes, it is a great little drive and with it being slim it can be rigged very easily, even with velcro or straps.
