Precord starts with your idea and gives you step by step the structure from planning to publishing. Plan the piece as blocks and each block holds the clips that carry it. Every clip knows its job, so when you press record you are shooting one specific thing rather than performing the whole video in one take. Your talking points sit on screen while you record, and advance when you do. What you shoot lands on a timeline already in the right order. Trim it, split it, change the pace, put a title over it, cut between angles. Nothing has to be dragged into place first, because the plan was the order. PLAN - Blocks with a job each: hook, context, lesson, call to action - Start from a proven structure, from an idea, or from nothing - Talking points written for the clip, on screen while you shoot SHOOT - A prompter that keeps its place - Pair a second phone as another angle, over your own network — no cables, no cloud, both cameras rolling on one take - Portrait, landscape or square, decided by the clip and obeyed by every camera in the rig CUT - Trim, split, retime, and transitions that mean something - Titles and picture-in-picture you place by touch: drag, pinch, turn - Voiceover, music and sound on their own lanes SHARE - Export the finished file and take it anywhere else - Publish to a circle: a small, invite-only audience rather than the whole internet - Or post to the public board for people in your city or country Precord is for people who like document and share their life, thoughts, projects and interests without spending days on editing videos. PRECORD PRO The free plan is the whole app with a ceiling: ten AI storyboards a month, and publishing held back. Pro removes both. - Publish finished cuts to your circles, your friends, or the public board - Storyboards, talking points, captions and coaching notes, without a monthly limit Precord Pro — PHP 499 per month Precord Pro (Annual) — PHP 4,990 per year Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
