## What is Skald?

Skald turns the iPhones and iPads you already own into a synchronized multi-camera recording rig. Set up in minutes, press record, play your set — and walk away with one finished multi-cam video. No timeline editing, no syncing clips by hand, no cloud.

Built for musicians recording themselves: rehearsals, live gigs, music videos, recitals. Solo artists to full bands.

HOW IT WORKS
• Skald runs on your iPad (or iPhone) as the controller
• The free companion app Skald Cam runs on up to four other iPhones or iPads — each one a camera angle
• Everything connects over your own Wi-Fi or an iPhone hotspot. Each camera pairs in seconds — Skald Cam finds Skald automatically
• Skald mixes the angles live and records one synchronized 1080p video

LIVE MIX MODES
• Split — all cameras in a grid
• Democratic — switches automatically between cameras in a predefined pattern
• Spotlight — keeps the focus on one performer, with the others rotating in
• Manual — you direct the mix
Real-time clock sync keeps every angle locked together.

AUDIO THAT TAKES CARE OF ITSELF
• Plug in a USB audio interface for professional stereo sound, or record from any camera's mic
• Rank your sources in a priority list — Skald records from the one you want and fails over automatically if it drops out mid-take
• Optional loudness normalization with YouTube, Apple Music, and broadcast presets — off by default so your raw levels stay untouched

MADE FOR SETS, NOT CLIPS
• Plan a setlist and roll through it song by song
• Start recording with a tap — or let Skald start when the music does
• Drop markers at the moments worth finding again
• Automatic intro titles rendered into each recording — if you want them

WANT TO EDIT IT YOURSELF?
• Turn on multi-file recording and every camera is also saved as its own full-frame 1080p file — frame-aligned with the mix, no manual syncing
• Editor import files (OpenTimelineIO + Final Cut Pro 7 XML) land next to the videos: open in DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro and every angle sits on its own track, master audio included
• Share a whole recording — all angles plus import files — in one go

YOUR RECORDINGS STAY YOURS
No accounts. No analytics. No cloud. Video never leaves your devices — recordings land on the controller, organized per project, fully accessible in the Files app for backup and export.

WHAT YOU NEED
• One iPad (recommended) or iPhone for Skald
• One iPhone or iPad per camera angle running Skald Cam (free)
• A shared Wi-Fi network or iPhone hotspot
• iOS 17.6 or later

Skald is a hobbyist tool that makes multi-cam recording accessible — it doesn't aim to replace professional broadcast systems. It's for the band in the basement, the songwriter filming at home, the teacher recording a recital.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-10-02

Skald 1.1 — portrait recording and a redesigned iPhone experience.

• Portrait recording: choose Auto, Portrait or Landscape under Settings → Recording → Format. Vertical 1080×1920 video, ready for social media.
• Redesigned for iPhone: a round VU meter in the transport, gapless camera grid, and landscape layouts that give the cameras the space.
• Program + multiview: the fullscreen mix modes show the on-air picture exactly as it is recorded, with every camera in a strip beside it.
• What you see is what you get: the split preview now matches the recorded file.
• Mirror: flip any camera left–right, including the controller's own. Remote cameras need Skald Cam 1.1.
• Multi-file recording: every camera is saved in full 1080p with even frame timing.
