Want to film a spooky night vision clip in a dark hallway, or turn an ordinary street into a sci-fi scene? Whether you are into ghost-hunting videos, content for social media, or you simply love the thermal-imager look from films and games, Thermal Camera brings those looks to the camera you already have. Key Features Thermal Vision Palettes Eight false-color palettes: Iron, White, Black, Rainbow, Arctic, Lava, Glow and Amber. Bright, warm-looking areas glow and dark ones fall away, just like the thermal imagers you have seen in films. (Premium subscription required.) Night Vision Modes Classic green and amber night vision, a UV blacklight look, infrared and a ghostly look for dark rooms and late-night videos. (Premium subscription required.) FX Filters Glitch, scanline, pixel, neon, x-ray, comic and crystal effects that restyle the whole picture live. (Premium subscription required.) HUD with Hot and Cold Spot Markers A heads-up display with a crosshair, a palette color bar and markers that follow the brightest and the darkest area of the frame as you move. It also brackets the people in view. (Premium subscription required.) MSX Detail Overlay An edge layer traces outlines over the effect, so faces, text and objects stay readable instead of dissolving into color. (Premium subscription required.) Effect Intensity Control Turn every effect up or down with a precise intensity slider. (Premium subscription required.) Video Recording Record video with sound, exactly as you see it on screen. (Premium subscription required.) Camera Roll Import Bring a photo in from your library and run it through any effect. (Premium subscription required.)
