Record the action that happened before the shutter! Save your device storage and skip the tedious post-game editing! Never miss a moment again! Yes, it really records in 4K: up to 4K at 120 fps on recent iPhones (e.g. iPhone 17) and 4K at 60 fps on older models (e.g. iPhone 12), with your Apple Watch as a remote. We're all used to pressing the record button and capturing life as it happens. But what if you could record things that already happened, pressing the button to catch the last few seconds? That's what makes Video Buffer so unique — you set the buffer time and hit the record when something interesting happens. You haven't missed a thing and saved your time and device storage! Video Buffer can be vital in all kinds of ways: Sports coaches and parents can use the app to record in-game highlight moments as they happen. Physical Education teachers could use buffered video footage to analyze performance and settle disputes between players. Sports officials and referees can review their decisions using a Buffer Camera as a video assistant. Drivers can use Video Buffer as a Dashcam, recording unexpected events on the road without overloading device memory storage. Skateboarders can capture only good lands and save time scrolling through many similar frames on the camera roll. Parents can catch their kids playing, making it easy to record that funny interaction that might otherwise be lost. Nature lovers can save time and storage while filming astonishing lightning flashes or waiting for the animal to appear or strike a funny pose. Video Buffer features include: - buffered video recording that ensures you'll never miss a moment - long buffer time, up to 100 seconds - 3 recording buttons, each with adjustable buffer time - DualCam Mode - record front and back camera footage simultaneously - option to capture only the buffer - the recording will end & save automatically - 4K video quality: up to 4K 120 fps on recent iPhones, 4K 60 fps on older models such as iPhone 12 - custom video resolution and FPS (30-240) - portrait or landscape orientation - saving to iCloud or device folders with a custom prefix for the filenames - Apple Watch support — a remote on your wrist to make it easier than ever to hit that record button - Slow-motion support - gives sports and fitness trainers the best look at swing, ball movement, or technique. Note: Works only with some back cameras - set 240 FPS in Settings. If you've ever missed something because you couldn't hit a record in time, Video Buffer is the answer!
