VidiMo Show vs Skald

**This is not another mobile video switcher!** The VidiMo Show App is a complete live production toolkit on your smartphone. It’s a new way of story telling, intuitive enough for novice streamers yet powerful enough for experienced producers. You can direct, produce, and star in your own show, or stay behind the scenes while crafting amazing looking programs. VidiMo Show lets users customize unlimited scenes in advance, each with its own layout and combination of live video (using the phone’s front or rear camera), audio, graphics, text, and pre-recorded media clips. Users can easily switch between these scenes on the fly while live streaming or recording, with effects such as network news style lower 3rds, graphics and telistrator overlays and animated transitions further enhancing the visual experience. When it’s time to go live, you can record your show on your smartphone as its happening, and stream live to social media, with presets for YouTube™ Live, Facebook™ Live and Twitch™. VidiMo Show allows you to (could list lots if we really wanted to) * Switch quickly between fully customizable, multi-source scene layouts * Scenes can include any combination of sources: front or rear Smartphone camera, Text (overlay, scrolls, crawls), Video clips, Images, and HDMI input from VidiMo Go hardware (Coming soon) * Scenes have their own dedicated audio mixer with levels/mute controls for each source * Scene-independent lower-third graphics, logos and real-time on-screen drawing * Save and recall customized Shows * Stream live to social media networks, CDNs or your own streaming server * Record the program mix to your smartphone * Scene element transition animations and background music add the professional polish to your show.

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.
