CH3 Camcorder vs Old Video Camera

Feeling nostalgic? CH3 turns your phone into a 1990s camcorder. Everything runs in real-time. What you see in the viewfinder is what you record. No post-processing, no filters applied after the fact. THE CAMERA 4:3 aspect ratio. 24fps. Low resolution. Portrait orientation with a landscape crop, just like holding a real camcorder. The on-screen display is rendered inside the viewfinder, just like the real thing. THE EFFECTS 25 adjustable parameters that simulate every stage of the VHS signal chain: - Chromatic aberration, chroma smear, and chroma delay - Tracking distortion and head-switch noise - Scanlines, interlace combing, and scanline drift - Film grain, tape warp, and glitch - Bloom, vignette, soft focus, and luma ringing - Brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth, and split-tone color grading - VHS timestamp burn-in and night vision - VHS audio processing: low-pass filter, wow/flutter, tape hiss, and saturation THE PRESETS Built-in presets to get you started. Pro users can create and share their own. Presets sync across devices via iCloud. THE TAPES All recordings are saved to an in-app tape library with VCR-style playback controls: play, pause, fast-forward, and rewind. Save tapes directly to your photo library or share them. PRIVACY Remember when apps didn't know your name, your location, and what you had for breakfast? Good times. No account. No sign-up. No analytics. No tracking. No ads. No data collection. No third-party SDKs. No internet required. The only permissions CH3 asks for are camera and microphone, because it's a camera. Your recordings never leave your device unless you share them yourself. That's it. UPGRADE TO PRO No subscriptions. No nonsense. One payment and it's yours forever. - Unlimited recording duration - No watermark - Full preset editor - Combine multiple tapes into one - Custom preset sharing - iCloud preset sync

Old Video Camera turns your phone into an 80s camcorder. The soft, wobbly look of a worn tape is applied while you record, so what you save is already finished. Nothing to edit afterwards. How it works - Point and record. The analog look is written into the file, not added later. - Switch 4:3, 3:4, 1:1, 16:9 and 9:16 with a button. You never have to turn your phone. - Front or rear camera, with a T/W zoom rocker like the old decks had. The look - Colors bleed sideways, the way tape handled color. - Scan lines drift, a tracking band rolls slowly, the bottom edge tears. - Grain sits in the picture, and the sound takes on the narrow, wavering tone of a linear tape track. Date and readouts - Burn the date into the picture, with the time or without it. - Show the REC dot, battery and zoom bar the way a camcorder viewfinder did. - Every control answers with an old mechanical click. Privacy Your video and audio are processed on your device. Your video never leaves the phone unless you save it to your own photo library. Free with ads. A one-time purchase removes the ad shown after recording. Every camera feature is free.
