Nik's Playback App vs RecceBoard

Create mixed photo and video playlists, and use your device's entire screen to display only what you intend. This app was created for the film/TV industry, for occasions when a phone or tablet needs to 'perform' on camera, but it may be useful to anyone who wants to use their device screen as a highly customizable, flexible and remotely controllable display. Features include: -Assignable hotkeys for a remote Bluetooth keyboard -User-defined unlock code to unlock the display during playback -Use the proximity sensor to simulate a phone call -Support for on-device camera, with working photo and video recording during playback -Image adjustment settings (including numerical colour temperature correction) -Stretch and reposition any image or video -Save and load playlists -Generate a chroma green, blue, or any single-colour screen sized to the device display, with or without tracking marks to assist screen replacement in postproduction.

A recce board for directors, cinematographers. Previz made simple. Walk a location, film the shots you're thinking of, and push them around until the order feels right. Then press play and watch the whole thing as a film. The camera opens already framed to the board's format, and the lens buttons are labelled in millimetres — the real focal length, so it means the same on any iPhone. Stop recording and you're in the trim. Next takes you back to the camera for the following shot. Shots sit where you put them, and the order of the film is the arrangement: left to right, top to bottom, the way a page reads. Move a shot and you've changed the cut. Record a voice-over over the whole thing or over a single shot, and lay music underneath. Export the film as a video or the board as a contact-sheet PDF, with your frame lines burned in. Boards sync through your own iCloud account, so you can start on the phone at the location and finish on the Mac. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. Share a board with a six-character code. Nothing is collected — no analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. One purchase, no subscription. Want it to do something it doesn't yet? mail@carlooppermann.com
