CrossCam vs Phone Cam Controller

You only need one device to make and see 3D with CrossCam, but if you have two devices you can connect them using CrossCam to capture from both simultaneously. CrossCam is the easiest way to make 3D pictures. The pictures you make with it are 3D just like 3D movies or VR but without any glasses or headset needed! To see the 3D, all you have to do is cross your eyes carefully and CrossCam even has a built in tutorial to teach you how to do it. CrossCam even lets you see your 3D picture before it's complete so you can tell how it will turn out in real time! - full and instant control over the overall depth and quality of the picture - automatic alignment of pictures - no need to have an expensive setup with two cameras - no more capturing in the field and just hoping it works out in post when you get back home - no more aligning with "ghosts" of previous captures - no more trudging through uploading to your computer to stitch, align, and process - built-in editing for fixing misalignment and preserving the stereo window - on screen help to make sure you get the images on the right sides every time While developing CrossCam I've been bringing it along on several scenic trips and I'm sure glad I've had it with me. Thanks to CrossCam, the memories I have from those trips are now preserved in stunning 3D. I can confidently say it makes 3D photography a breeze and I hope it helps you too! If you have any trouble, questions, or feedback, please email me@kra2008.com. I'm happy to coach, fix bugs, and hear your ideas.

Turn your iPhone into a wireless virtual camera for Adobe After Effects and Blender. Move your phone to control the 3D camera in real time, and record keyframes by physically walking through your scene. Phone Cam Controller is the companion app for the free Phone Camera Control plugin for After Effects and the free Phone CamController add-on for Blender. Your computer and iPhone find each other automatically over Wi-Fi — no IP addresses, no pairing codes, no setup. NEW: BLENDER SUPPORT The same live preview, motion control, and keyframe recording you know from After Effects now work with Blender too. Install the free add-on, click Start Server in the Phone Cam sidebar, and your iPhone connects automatically. LIVE PREVIEW ON YOUR PHONE See your After Effects composition or Blender scene camera streamed to your phone in real time. Walk around the room, check framing, show a client — all without rendering. 6DOF CAMERA CONTROL Full six degrees of freedom — position (X, Y, Z) and orientation (pan, tilt, roll) — driven by your phone's motion and AR sensors. The camera on your computer mirrors your physical movement precisely. ONE-TAP & CONTINUOUS RECORDING Single-tap the shutter to drop a keyframe at the current time. Press and hold to record continuously — the host captures your motion frame by frame as real keyframes, creating smooth, natural camera animation. CAMERA SETTINGS FROM YOUR PHONE Control zoom (focal length), focus distance, aperture, blur level, and depth of field directly from your phone. Changes apply to the camera in real time. TIMELINE CONTROL Play, pause, scrub, step, and jump to start or end — all from your phone. No reaching for the keyboard mid-take. MULTI-PHONE SUPPORT Connect several phones at once. Each phone drives its own camera — perfect for scouting multiple angles or collaborating with a team. ZERO CONFIGURATION The plugin and app discover each other automatically via Bonjour/mDNS on your local network. Just open both and they connect. REQUIREMENTS • Adobe After Effects 2024 or later, OR Blender 4.2 or later (macOS, Windows, or Linux) • The free Phone Camera Control plugin (After Effects) or Phone CamController add-on (Blender) • iPhone and computer on the same local Wi-Fi network (5 GHz recommended) FREE TO USE The app is free with all features included. Recording keyframes uses Ad Credits (30 free on sign-up); watch a short ad to earn more, or upgrade to Ad-Free with a one-time in-app purchase for unlimited, ad-free recording.
