Record once. Post everywhere. TakeFlow keeps your original video, up to 4K, and makes a vertical 9:16 version of the same take while you record. Tap a person or an object and Auto Follow keeps it in the frame. Stop, and the vertical is ready. No second take, no editing. ONE TAKE, EVERY FORMAT • The original in landscape, up to 4K at 60 fps on supported iPhones • A vertical 9:16 version, made on its own when you stop • Prefer 4:5 or 1:1 for feeds? Pick it as the second format • Record upright and get a 16:9 landscape version instead AUTO FOLLOW, LIVE • Tap someone or something in the viewfinder and the frame follows it • Snappy for quick moves, Smooth for a gimbal-like glide • Drag the corners of the 9:16 guide to frame tighter • Switch between the front and back cameras without stopping the take A REAL EDITOR • Reframe any take later: follow a person or an object, or set marks with transitions • Trim, split and zoom clips on a timeline • Color, filters and curves, with presets you can save, share and reuse • Copy the color edits of a photo you edited in Photos onto your video BUILT FOR SHOOTING • Exposure, focus, AE/AF lock, lenses, grid, level and safe zones • Timer, and start or stop with the volume buttons • REC light: the flash blinks softly so people can see you're recording • Auto-save to Photos after each take, or record originals to an external USB-C drive YOUR VIDEOS STAY YOURS Everything is processed on your iPhone.
