## What is Vintage Film Camera?

Shoot retro-style videos with one tap.
Just press the record button to turn everyday scenes into hundred years old movies!

[[ Friendly reminder ]]
This app simulates an analog film-reel camera.
There are some restrictions that don't exist in other video apps. 

- The maximum length of the video is 20 seconds for the default black and white film, and 6 seconds for other films. You can extend all films to 5 minutes if you purchase the PRO version.
- You can only append a new recording after the previous recording. If you want to create a new recording from scratch, export the previous recording first, then delete it.
- You only have one film for each effect

With these limitations, your creativity is challenged. Some people export multiple footages then use iMovie to create a full-fledged movie. Find your ways to fully utilize this powerful and fun tool!

### 2/5 — Dumb app

*2026-07-27, version 1.5.31*

I want more time to record I made a video and it has five seconds maybe less and I’m not paying for the pro it’s so much money

### 1/5 — Ok

*2026-06-20, version 1.5.31*

Ok but I don’t like that u have to get pro for making over 9 second vids

### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-03-24, version 1.5.29*

5 stars all the way

### 2/5 — Where are my videos

*2026-02-28, version 1.5.29*

I love this video app. I’ve created videos with little clips of different life events. I exported to save a beautiful memorial and exported it and it is not in any of my folders. I’m quiet savvy with this type of stuff. But would love to know if they have any type of recovery system. This video I exported and is now lost.. is so special. Had I known it would be lost, I would have screen recorded it. Any help, please.

### 4/5 — Could be better

*2026-02-07, version 1.5.29*

I got this app and I was suuuuupppeerrrrrrrr excited for it but it says I CAN ONLY USE IT FOR 6 FREAKING SECONDS LIKE BRO🥲 WHY DO YALL DO THIS? Please fix this

### 5/5 — 5 STAR

*2025-09-04, version 1.5.29*

### 1/5 — Terrible🤬

*2025-08-13, version 1.5.29*

I got this app and I was suuuuupppeerrrrrrrr excited for it but it says I CAN ONLY USE IT FOR 6 FREAKING SECONDS LIKE BRO🥲 WHY DO YALL DO THIS? FRICK YALL

### 3/5 — Great features but too low resolution.

*2025-07-20*

I cancelled my subscription because of the low quality of the exported film. 135Mo input, 33Mo output this was too low for a 1080 movie. Sad because the effects are stunning. So whoever doesn’t care about the quality of the export (Messenger or WhatsApp) will be pleased with this app.

### 4/5 — loved it until….

*2025-07-09, version 1.5.29*

Loved using the app and putting videos already filmed into it to give it that “vintage” feel until I see they decided to upgrade and now you have to pay.. huge disappointment to say the least

### 5/5 — Mr Zakaria Dhuubow
