FlowCam is a pauseable camera that allows you to record, trim, and merge multiple clips, then download all as 1 video (with NO watermarks) While recording you can pause, then record some more. After recording, you can trim individual segments of your video, rearrange segments, and then download them into a single video. When editing individual segments, you can "mirror" the segment (so it flips the opposite way), which makes it perfect for creating those social media videos where you are talking to yourself. You can also upload videos from your phone to combine with your recorded segments. Your projects get saved, so you can record some segments, and then come back to it at any later time. The app is free, and there are NO watermarks.
