Off the Reel: 1 Second Vlog

Shoot a second whenever something catches your eye. It piles up by tag, and when there's enough, it becomes a video. ■ SHOOT FIRST Tap the shutter for 1, 2, 4 or 8 seconds, or hold it to keep shooting. Swipe the tags under the shutter and each cut lands in commute, café, workout or whatever you set up. Turn the phone for landscape; selfies get a screen light. ■ A CAPTION FOR EVERY CUT Tap the cut you just shot to add a caption. Five styles including handwriting, serif and a caption bar. Drag it anywhere or snap it to a fixed spot. The areas Reels and Shorts cover are shown in advance. ■ WHEN THEY PILE UP, MAKE ONE Pick tags, a period, how many cuts and how to pick (spread evenly, one per day, most recent), and we choose the cuts. Remove, reorder or add others as you like. ■ ON THE BEAT Pick a song and the app measures its beat from the preview, then ends every cut on a beat. Cuts are never stretched beyond what you shot. The song isn't added to the video; add the same song in Reels or Shorts and it lines up. ■ LANDSCAPE AND PORTRAIT TOGETHER Landscape cuts in a portrait video, or portrait cuts in a landscape video, get margins: paper, white, black, lilac or blur, with the tag and time in the margin. ■ POST We write a caption and copy it for you, then send the video through the share sheet. Save to Photos in one tap too. ■ WITHOUT OPENING THE APP Shoot with a tag straight from a Home Screen widget, or grab a cut from the Lock Screen, Control Center or Action button without unlocking. There's a This Week widget too. ■ YOUR PHOTOS BECOME CUTS We take the steadiest 2 seconds from Live Photos and videos and add them to a tag, keeping the date and place. No account, no server. Your cuts and videos stay on this phone. Song previews from Apple Music are used only to measure the beat.
