About

Dual Camera Front and Back

Features
Read full description

DuoCam films your front and back cameras at the same time. What you are looking at and your reaction to it land in a single take, perfectly in sync — no editing, no second attempt, nothing to line up afterwards. FIVE WAYS TO FRAME IT Picture-in-picture — drag the small window anywhere in the shot and choose its shape, size, border and transparency. Portrait, card, square or circle. Side by side and stacked — a true split screen, both cameras at full width. Single — one lens at a time, and a double-tap swaps them without stopping. Live switch — cut between front and back while the recording runs. EVERY ANGLE KEPT Each take saves three files: the combined video you framed, plus the untouched front and back recordings. Change your mind in the edit and the other angle is still there, full quality. BUILT FOR TALKING TO CAMERA Teleprompter — paste your script and it scrolls over the viewfinder at the speed you set, mirrored if you need it, so you keep looking straight down the lens. Watermark — burn time, date, place, coordinates, altitude, speed or your own handle into the footage. Photo mode, framing grids, focus and exposure locked per camera, twelve themes and volume-button shutter. THE CONTROLS THAT MATTER 1080p on each lens, 24/30/60 fps, H.264 or HEVC, standard, cinematic or enhanced stabilisation, white balance and 9:16, 3:4, 1:1 or 16:9 framing. The combined video renders up to 4K, so a split screen keeps full detail on both halves. The viewfinder is exactly what gets recorded, and DuoCam manages the thermal budget so a long take does not stop halfway. WHAT YOU NEED An iPhone XS or newer. Filming two cameras at once is a hardware capability — older models can only ever use one lens at a time, in any app. DuoCam Pro unlocks split screen and live switching, 1080p at 60 fps, 4K combined output, takes of any length, the separate front and back files, the teleprompter, the full watermark and all twelve themes. Weekly with a 3-day free trial, yearly, or a one-time purchase that never renews. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
