LiveApp Play turns your iPhone, iPad or Mac with Apple silicon into a professional video playback device. The video list and all settings can be viewed on the device screen, while the videos are played back full screen and without overlays on the connected display. VIDEOCUE Organize your videos in custom playlists for fullscreen playback via HDMI*. If connected to an ATEM Switcher** “Autoplay” can be enabled for instant playback when cut to the connected channel. LiveApp cuts back to Preview at the end of the playlist. This makes video playback in your multicam livestream sessions extremely easy. Videos are organized into sections and can be easily rearranged via drag and drop. Sections can be looped either a certain number of times or endlessly. In the video inspector the video can be trimmed, the speed set and the volume adjusted (even above 0 dB). INBOX SERVER Easily load videos directly into VideoCue over the local network and remotely control playback. To do this, start the Inbox Server in Settings and go to the local LiveApp website with any device on the network. Cross platform, from any web browser. REMOTE CONTROL Create completely custom solutions with the API or use our pre-built integration with Bitfocus Companion. LIVEAPP PRO Need more professional features?

Vertiscoper is a fast, creator-focused tool that desqueezes anamorphic photos and videos directly on your iPhone, ready to post in seconds. Perfect for anamorphic photographers, content creators, mobile filmmakers and anyone chasing cinematic results on the go without a desktop. As a cinematographer who’s always chasing new looks and creative possibilities, I developed Vertiscoper out of my own need for a simple and fast anamorphic workflow, no matter if the lens is mounted for a vertical or in a classic horizontal setup. With today’s demand for fast, social-ready content, shooting “Vertiscope” is my go-to way to capture flexible ≈1:1 masters, ready for any format. TOP FEATURES: – desqueeze vertically or horizontally in one app – camera RAW import: DNG, Sony (ARW), Nikon (NEF), Canon (CR2/CR3), Fujifilm (RAF) and more – no DNG conversion needed – import from Photo Library, Files or straight from the Photos share sheet ("Import to Vertiscoper") – direct card reader import via Files – share desqueezed photos and videos to any app right from Vertiscoper – photo batch processing – wide range of desqueeze factor presets from 1.25× to 2.0× – custom desqueeze factor – check before-after with touch and hold on preview image – EXIF data and color profile preserved – 10-bit HDR videos keep their full dynamic range – fast hardware-accelerated video export – one-time purchase, no subscription SUPPORTED FORMATS: IMAGES JPG, TIFF, DNG, Apple ProRAW and camera RAW from Sony, Nikon, Canon, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Leica and many more. If a rare RAW format isn't readable on your device, convert it to DNG, TIFF or JPEG (e.g. in Lightroom) before importing. Desqueezed RAW photos will be saved as TIFF. VIDEO H.264, H.265 and Apple ProRes are supported, including 10-bit HDR (HLG/PQ). Please convert other video formats before importing. Desqueezed videos will be saved as H.265 (HEVC) or ProRes when the source is ProRes. Need help or found a bug?
