Getting better

Overall the app is getting better but needs some updates.
- Rotating live view in the desktop app is needed for vertical shooting!!!
- Marking clips/selects would be huge and save time when handing off footage to clients or post.
- Being able to offload footage from the Ember straight to an external SSD connected to the USBC cable would be great.
- Having an image overlay (onion skins) feature in app would be awesome. This would help with match cut shots and other applications where framing, object size and placement is critical.
- Playback area of the app should only show controls relevant to playback and any export features should be in its own area elsewhere in the app

Solid App

Needs to be able to rotate the live view in the desktop app for vertical shooting while tethered to the desktop app. Playback in reverse would be nice as well. Overall its getting better and we are looking forward to seeing new features get released.

So good

This app is smoooooooth with the ember! Makes interfacing with the camera SO nice. Playback is extremely snappy and responsive
