About

Playback Cam

Read full description

Playback Cam is a simple camera app for sports and movement review. It helps you check movements right after you do them, without filling your Photos library with lots of videos you do not want to keep. You can either record a clip and review it immediately, or use delayed playback to see your movement a few seconds after it happens. This makes it useful for training, technique work, and general movement review, whether you are looking at jumps, lifts, throws, swings, starts, form, or other drills. Features: - Use delayed playback for instant feedback after the movement - Or, record a clip and review it right away - Slow footage down to see details more clearly - Step through frame by frame - Save only the clips you actually want to keep Playback Cam is made to keep the process simple: do the movement, check it, keep what matters.

Perform an exercise, look at the screen, and watch your own movements again: Delay Cam turns your iPhone or iPad into a handy tool for training and video analysis. Whether you’re into track and field, handball, strength training, golf, tennis, dancing, or gymnastics: Set a suitable delay and observe your technique immediately after performing the move. Save interesting moments as replays and analyze them later in slow motion or frame by frame. YOUR TRAINING AT A GLANCE • Live and time-lapse: Choose a delay between 0 and 120 seconds for each view. Compare the live feed with earlier footage from the same camera. • Multiple views: Use two views simultaneously for free; with Pro, up to four. Delays and annotations can be adjusted individually. • Save replays later: Save the last 10 to 120 seconds of the selected view—provided they’re already in the buffer. • Frame rate on demand: Choose the recording frame rate that suits your training. Up to 240 frames per second are available on supported devices. UNDERSTAND MOVEMENTS MORE PRECISELY Play back saved replays in slow motion or go through the recording frame by frame in analysis mode. Use freehand drawings, lines, angles, triangles, and circles to mark positions and movement sequences directly on the still image. The markings are temporary and do not alter your saved video. MANAGE AND SHARE RECORDINGS Your replays are saved in the local gallery. Share videos with others or have them automatically saved to Photos as well. If you grant microphone access, replays will also include audio. The interface supports German and English, as well as portrait and landscape orientations on iPhone and iPad. MANY FEATURES FOR FREE, PRO AT A LOW PRICE The free version offers two camera views, replay storage, and video analysis. In the gallery, you can open the ten most recent recordings. Older recordings remain stored; you’ll need Pro to access them. The free version contains ads. Delay Cam Pro adds: • Up to four camera views simultaneously • Access to all saved gallery recordings • Practical analysis tools: freehand drawings, lines, circles, ovals, triangles, and angle measurement • Ad-free use Choose between a one-time payment of €4.99 for permanent Pro access and €0.99 per month.
