Read full description

Screen Prep readies any iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch for VFX screen replacement. Fill the display with a chroma key color, add tracking marks, and lock it down so your compositor gets a screen that's easy to key and track. • Choose from preset chroma colors or pick your own with a color wheel • Add tracking marks and adjust their position, size, and color • AddAdded: Tracking marks can scroll vertically, horizontally or both, and pinch to zoom, so actors can scroll the screen • Frame marks for the full screen, 16:9, or an Apple Watch display • Display color bars, a grid, or a checkerboard instead • Lock the screen so actors can't trigger the controls by accident • Save setups and recall them in a tap • Export a 16:9 image to Photos to show on a TV or monitor via AirPlay APPLE WATCH Send saved screens to Apple Watch. Swipe or turn the Digital Crown to choose one, then double tap to lock it while the actor wears the watch. WORKS EVERYWHERE In addition to iPhone, Screen Prep supports portrait and landscape on iPad, the outer and open screens of iPhone Duo, and full screen on Apple silicon Macs. Need it on another screen? Export an image, then transfer it or AirPlay it to a TV or another display. A built-in Manual covers every feature.
