Professional digital film camera controls, cinematic capture capabilities, and fluid modern navigation for Android devices.
Blackmagic Camera unlocks the power of digital film cameras on Android smartphones by providing Blackmagic OS camera controls, cinematic shutter angles, white balance, ISO, LUT monitoring, audio meters, and cloud collaboration.
This repository hosts the enhanced, standalone source tree of the application featuring direction-aware smooth tab transition animations, universal standalone APK packaging, and streamlined offline startup without split APK constraints.
- Cinematic Film Controls: Full manual exposure, shutter angle / speed, ISO, white balance, tint, and focus.
- Advanced Codecs: Support for HEVC (H.265), H.264, and professional bitrates.
- Monitoring Tools: Zebra stripes, false color, focus peaking, frame guides, and 3D LUT preview.
- Blackmagic Cloud Sync: Direct project sync and cloud chat integration.
- Fluid Horizontal Slide + Fade Animations: Switching between the bottom navigation tabs (Camera, Media, Chat, and Settings) is no longer an abrupt instant cut. It is now powered by custom 300ms
FastOutSlowInEasing(Cubic Bezier:0.4, 0.0, 0.2, 1.0) smooth animations. - Direction-Aware Context:
- Navigating forward (e.g., Camera $\rightarrow$ Media $\rightarrow$ Chat $\rightarrow$ Settings) slides content in smoothly from the right with a coordinated crossfade.
- Navigating backward (e.g., Settings $\rightarrow$ Chat $\rightarrow$ Media $\rightarrow$ Camera) slides content in smoothly from the left.
- Zero UI Regression: Retains 100% of original Blackmagic camera layouts, recording gauges, lens selectors, and audio meters.
- Standalone universal installation: native
arm64-v8alibraries and high-density graphical assets are fully unified into a single standalone package, removing runtime split dependencies.

The custom animation engine is implemented in com.blackmagicdesign.android.blackmagiccam.ui.TabTransition. It implements cd2 ((Object) -> Object) and hooks into the Jetpack Compose navigation scope AnimatedContentTransitionScope<NavBackStackEntry>:
- Resolves the route and index of both the initial and target destination entries.
- Dynamically calculates the delta index to determine relative navigation direction.
- Invokes Compose
