DoubleTake transforms your iPhone into a multi-cam studio allowing you to capture video from two cameras at the same time on recent devices* *NOTE: Per iOS 15 capabilities, multi-cam video is restricted to the following devices only: iPhone 13 series devices, iPhone 12 series devices, iPhone 11 Pro Max, 11 Pro, 11, Xs Max, Xs, Xr, SE 2. iPad Pro 2018 and newer. While this app will install and function on all devices supported by iOS 15, all devices outside of this list will be restricted to recording video from on a single camera. Use DoubleTake to record video in new ways: - Camera Visualization: Better than a director’s viewfinder! Use DoubleTake’s camera picker view to visualize all available cameras for your device. Use this view to help decide how to frame your shot and which cameras you will select. - Shot/Reverse shot: To capture all the organic and intimate interaction between two actors or interviewer and interviewee. Traditionally, filmmakers would need to employ two cameras and place these in cumbersome ‘over the shoulder’ locations. With DoubleTake you can place one device in between your actors and place the audience right in the middle of the conversation. - Multi-cam: Capture two different focal lengths of the same subject at the same time. Use DoubleTake with the Ultra Wide lens (iPhone 11 Pro Max, 11 Pro and 11 only) and the Tele to capture both an establishing shot and a punch-in on your subject simultaneously. Or use any other combination of front and rear lenses for unrivaled multi-cam capture. - PiP or Discreet: The DoubleTake interface allows you to see both cameras of your video capture at the same time through the use of a Picture in Picture (PiP) window. You can move this PiP around the screen, tap to zoom in, or swipe it away if it’s distracting (the second video will continue to record). With DoubleTake you can decide if you want to record your videos as separate discrete files or if you want the video recorded as a composite video that includes the PiP window animated as you see it on the screen. - Split-screen: Doubletake also allows you to use any two cameras to create a 50/50 split-screen effect that is saved as a single video. This is great for capturing engaging interviews, or any scenario where two sides of the story need equal weighting on screen. - Focus & Exposure Controls: DoubleTake allows you to set and lock your focus and exposure on both cameras during multi-cam capture with our unified reticle. Just tap anywhere to set an area of interest with the reticle, then tap again to lock or unlock. Our easy to use camera switcher lets you effortlessly move between your A and B cams during a recording to adjust the focus and exposure for each independently of one another. Video Specs: - Full frame focus and exposure for smooth and easy automated focus and exposure adjustments. - Selectable broadcast frame rates: 24fps, 25fps, and 30fps depending on your project requirements. - 1080p video at high bitrate encoding for maximum quality. (note: 1080p video is the maximum resolution supported by the Apple API for multi-cam capture). - Composited PiP or separate discreet video files recorded as .h264 .mov files are saved to DoubleTake’s internal library which supports batch export to the Camera Roll.

DualTake records video and captures photos from two cameras simultaneously, delivering separate portrait (9:16) and landscape (16:9) files in every take. Stop choosing between TikTok and YouTube. One recording. Two formats. Done. DUAL LENS MODE Point your wide and ultra-wide cameras in the same direction and record both simultaneously. Each session produces two independent files — portrait for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok; landscape for YouTube and everything else. LANDSCAPE MODE Turn your phone sideways and both cameras record landscape video simultaneously — wide and ultra-wide, two perspectives, one recording. Perfect for cinematic shots, travel, and anything that deserves a wider view. SINGLE LENS MODE Prefer one camera? DualTake crops a landscape frame from your portrait recording using a draggable crop frame you position yourself. Same dual-output result, one sensor. RESOLUTION, FRAME RATE & BITRATE Choose 4K or 1080p. Shoot at 24, 30, or 60 fps. Set bitrate quality to Low, Medium, or High to balance file size and image quality. Export in HEVC or H.264, MOV or MP4. TIME-LAPSE Capture time-lapse video with both portrait and landscape output. Choose 5x, 15x, 30x, or 60x speed. Both files are saved automatically. PAUSE & RESUME Pause your recording and resume seamlessly. Audio and video stay perfectly in sync — no gaps, no jumps. PHOTO MODE The same dual-output logic applies to photos. One tap captures a portrait and a landscape image from both cameras at once. CAMERA CONTROLS - Tap-to-focus with AE/AF lock — tap to focus and lock exposure, tap again to unlock - Pinch-to-zoom on the main preview - Dedicated Camera B zoom slider - Independent or synced zoom across both cameras - Lens layout swap — choose which camera is main and which is picture-in-picture - Adjustable PiP preview size - Horizon level indicator for perfectly straight shots NEVER MISS THE MOMENT Stop choosing between portrait and landscape before you hit record. At a concert, wedding, or on holiday — DualTake captures both so you never have to think about it. Post to TikTok AND YouTube from the same recording. No cropping, no re-filming. WHO IT'S FOR Content creators tired of shooting twice. Vloggers who need both formats for every platform. And anyone who just wants to hit record without worrying about orientation - DualTake handles it all. LOCALIZATION Available in English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), French, German, and Japanese. Download DualTake and never choose between portrait and landscape again. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
