CineStager vs ShutterFinder

Bring your scenes to life with Cinestager — the ultimate AR previsualization tool for filmmakers, creators and storytellers. Cinestager lets you instantly block, stage, and plan shots using augmented reality. Place 3D Locations, add Mannequins, and explore your scene through a virtual camera that behaves like the real thing. Import your own USDZ sets, position Mannequins with precise height controls, and visualize complex staging with Human Occlusion, which blends real people seamlessly into your AR environment. Then jump into Game Mode to fly through your scene, experiment with lens choices, and scout shots from impossible angles. Capture high-quality stills and screen-recorded camera moves, complete with optional camera and lens metadata. Each image can also generate an automatic Map View, giving you a top-down blueprint of your shot — perfect for planning and sharing with your team. Whether you're prepping a film, designing a scene, or experimenting with visual storytelling, Cinestager gives you the power of a full previs toolkit right on your device. Plan smarter. Shoot better. Visualize instantly.

Stop guessing your shutter speed on set. ShutterFinder detects light flicker instantly and tells you the exact shutter speed to eliminate it. HOW IT WORKS Point your iPhone at any flickering light source — LED panels, fluorescent tubes, HMI lights, monitors, practicals — and tap MEASURE. ShutterFinder uses your iPhone's 240fps high-speed camera and real-time FFT analysis to detect the precise flicker frequency. Within seconds, you get the optimal shutter speed to shoot flicker-free. BUILT FOR FILM PROFESSIONALS • Detects flicker frequency with precision using FFT spectral analysis • Recommends the exact shutter speed in time (1/50) or shutter angle (180°) — switch with one tap • Supports all common shooting frame rates: 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 60 fps — plus custom input • Change shooting frame rate after measurement and see shutter recommendation update instantly • Works with any flickering source: LED, fluorescent, HMI, neon, monitors, practicals • Identifies the source type (50Hz mains, 60Hz mains, PWM LED, etc.) ONE-TAP WORKFLOW No complicated menus or settings. Point at the source, tap MEASURE, get your shutter speed. That's it. The app automatically stops measuring when it has a confident reading. TECHNICAL DETAILS • Uses 240fps slow-motion capture for high-resolution temporal sampling • FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analysis via Apple's Accelerate framework • Sub-Hz frequency accuracy with parabolic interpolation • Automatic exposure adjustment for difficult lighting conditions • Detection range: 40–500 Hz Requires iPhone XS or later with iOS 17.0+.
