What's New in Bicameral
2.0
November 7, 2026
A redesigned viewfinder: everything you set up before a take now lives in Tools and Composition, with zoom one tap away. Vertical + Horizontal (Pro): record a 9:16 and a 16:9 video of the same take together, and move the second one's framing as you go, or let Follow Faces do it. Teleprompter: read your script beside the lens while you record. Zoom while recording, with presets on both cameras. Better sound: choose your microphone, record in stereo with wind reduction, and keep recording on the built-in mic if an external one disconnects. Video stabilization, with Cinematic on the rear camera (Pro). Choose High Efficiency (HEVC) or Most Compatible (H.264) video. Center Stage on the selfie camera (Pro, on supported iPhone and iPad models). Takes that survive more: interrupted or failed recordings keep everything written up to the problem. Many fixes for VoiceOver, larger text, landscape and smaller screens.
