prefx vs Understudy

Stop losing production time to dead screens. Prefx transforms your iPhone or iPad and any external display connected via USB-C/HDMI into a high-fidelity, interactive digital prop. Built by baffe, a creative production company, Prefx is the professional on-set tool designed to bridge the gap between live-set interaction and post-production precision. Interactive Prop Themes A library of fully customizable modules for every narrative need, governed by a global Clearance Toggle and tunable via the Signature Secret Menu. • Stitch (Custom UI): Import your own designs or video plates to create a seamless, scrollable custom surface. • Strike Up (Social Media): Scrollable feeds, profile grids, and realistic interactions for on-camera talent. • Live Feed: Social broadcast simulation with looping video, scrolling comments, and animated viewer counts. • Chatterbox: Scripted messenger simulations with adjustable reply timing, on-the-fly actor typing, and instant reset between takes. • News: Scrollable digital news site with authentic headline and article layouts. • CineVault: A high-fidelity VOD interface for "watching" content on-camera, now with full external display control, living where it was always meant to: your TV. Clearance — Hero Mode vs. Villain Mode One toggle flips every theme for legal clearance. • Hero Mode: Platform-native typography and iconography for brand-consistent "good guy" devices. • Villain Mode (True Neutral): 100% brand-neutral interface using open-source Inter typography and Lucide iconography, for antagonists or high-risk clearances. Professional VFX Tools • Chroma Key: High-visibility green, blue, and middle-grey backgrounds with optimized luminance for clean keying, fully supported on external displays so you can tune directly on the screen you're shooting against. • Precision Markers: High-contrast markers for rock-solid matchmoving in After Effects, Mocha, or DaVinci Resolve, with full external display size support. • Interactive Plates: Move tracking markers in real-time to simulate a live interface for the actor. • UI Saturation: Desaturate interfaces on the fly to prevent color blowout on set cameras and specific LUTs. On-Set Utility • Emissive Lighting: Use any screen as a practical light source. Dial in color temperature with a Kelvin slider or use the RGB wheel for creative effects — now across any display size via external output. • Status Bar Control: Set time, battery, signal, and wifi to exactly what the scene needs, across any theme, take after take. • Privacy First: No data collection. No cloud processing. All assets stay local. • Offline Ready: No internet required once installed. • Global Support: Full UI in 12 languages. Why Prefx? Reduce screen replacements.
