RetroPro: Camera & Video Lab

Make every second yours. Some moments look better with a little grain, a wandering timecode and the unmistakable charm of a tape that’s seen better days. RetroPro turns your iPhone into a creative camera and video lab. Capture nostalgic camcorder looks, transform existing videos or experiment with effects that take your footage somewhere unexpected. A LITTLE NOSTALGIA Explore VHS, Hi8 and CRT-inspired looks with grain, colour bleed, tracking distortion and tape dropouts. Start with an included preset, then fine-tune the details—from gently worn to “found this in the attic.” GIVE YOUR VIDEOS ANOTHER LIFE Import videos and apply your favourite looks and effects. Explore tape-style fast-forward, rewind and looping playback, then record the result. No actual tapes—or untangling—required. ROOM TO EXPERIMENT Get creative with slit scan, datamosh, chroma melt, depth effects and world-anchored video fragments. Combine FX with retro looks or use a clean picture as your starting point. THE LITTLE DETAILS Add dates, timecodes, battery and tape indicators, or your own overlay text. Turn individual elements on or off to create a camcorder display that feels right for your footage. YOUR LOOK, SAVED Save presets with preview thumbnails, organise your favourites and share them with others. Included presets give you a starting point; your own experiments make it personal. KEEP IT CLEAN Clean mode gives you footage without the retro treatment. Explore manual exposure, white balance and, on compatible devices, Apple Log and LUT controls. Choose whether to bake your selected LUT into the recording or use it for preview only. MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME Choose a skin, explore the full controls or double-tap the preview for a larger view with minimal controls. A friendly, skippable walkthrough helps you find your way.
