Shoot once, publish everywhere. Crossframe records vertical 9:16 and horizontal 16:9 video simultaneously from a single take, so you never have to choose an orientation before you hit record — or reshoot because you picked wrong. Point the camera and frame your shot. Crossframe captures both aspect ratios in one pass and saves two separate files, each properly composed rather than center-cropped from the other. Your landscape cut is ready for widescreen, your portrait cut is ready for a phone feed, and both come from the same moment. What you get: • Simultaneous 9:16 and 16:9 recording in one take • Two independent video files, no cropping or re-export • Live preview showing both frames while you shoot • Adjustable framing so subjects stay centered in both ratios • Records up to 4K, with standard frame rate options • Exports straight to your camera roll Built for creators posting to more than one place, filmmakers who need coverage in both orientations, event and wedding videographers, and anyone tired of reframing footage after the fact. Crossframe — 2 frames, 1 take.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Crossframes at 5.0 against Chroma Hue's 4.1. Crossframes also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Chroma Hue's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 4) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
