## What is GATE CAM?

GATE CAM is a cinema camera app for iPhone that takes you from
Open Gate capture to color grading, framed finishing,
and social-ready export—all in one place.

Don’t let your footage end at capture.
Finish single shots or multiple clips with your own color,
texture, and space, entirely on iPhone.

Record in 4:3 Open Gate to use more of the sensor.
Keep a wider view and more room around the subject,
and capture more of the atmosphere in every shot.

SLOW recording is also supported.
Choose a 24 / 25 / 30 fps playback base and record at
up to 60 fps for cinematic slow motion.
Turn everyday movement into something more dramatic.

■ FEATURES

▶ Capture More in Open Gate
Shoot in 4:3 Open Gate.
Use more of the sensor to record a fuller image.
Keep people, light, backgrounds, and the space around them
in a single shot.

Capture in Apple Log to retain tonal range,
then shape the color after shooting.

▶ SLOW Recording
Choose a 24 / 25 / 30 fps playback base.
Select from available SLOW options up to 60 fps.
Recorded clips play back in slow motion automatically inside GATE CAM.

Turn ordinary movement into cinematic, dramatic moments.

▶ From Capture to Finish in CLIPS
Recorded footage is saved to CLIPS inside GATE CAM.
Review, select, and finish your footage immediately after shooting,
while keeping track of SLOW and graded clips.

You can also rotate footage directly in CLIPS after recording.
Export only the clips you need to Photos once they are finished.
Keep source footage and finished work separate,
without filling up your camera roll.

▶ Shape Apple Log Into Your Own Look
Choose Base LUTs and Creative LUTs, then adjust exposure,
highlights, shadows, contrast, color temperature, tint, and saturation.

Add Mist, Grain, Fade, and vignette to turn a flat recording
into the look you want to create.

▶ Keep Your Look
Save grades for each clip.
Save frequently used adjustments as presets,
so you can finish future clips with a consistent feel.

▶ Give Multiple Clips One World
Select two or more clips, then finish them together
with a consistent grade and frame.

A simple way to bring travel footage and vlog clips
into the same visual world.

▶ Finish Like a Piece
Add metadata frames and rounded corners,
then save stills or export video—all inside GATE CAM.

Turn footage into more than a file:
a still or video you want to show.
