Stop choosing between vertical and horizontal. StarCrop records the full picture, so you can crop to vertical or horizontal later β whenever you need it. Sound familiar? You shoot vertical, and it looks tiny on the TV with black bars on both sides. You shoot horizontal, and it's awkward to watch on your phone. StarCrop solves the "which way do I hold it" problem for good. HOW IT WORKS StarCrop captures a wide 4:3 master using more of your camera's sensor (also known as Open Gate recording). From that one master, export: - 16:9 landscape for TV and YouTube - 9:16 portrait for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts No need to decide at recording time. KEY FEATURES - Full screen everywhere: export both landscape and portrait from one clip - No editing app needed: crop and export inside StarCrop - Frame guides: keep people and subjects safely inside every crop - Re-export anytime: keep the master, regenerate any size whenever you need - Save storage: delete exports freely β the master can always recreate them - Ready for anything: YouTube, TikTok, Reels, TV β and formats you haven't thought of yet Perfect for family moments, kids' events, travel, and everyday vlogging β anywhere you don't get a second take.

Record once. Get a vertical (9:16) and a horizontal (16:9) video at the same time. CrossSnap is the camera app that gives you the social vertical and the widescreen horizontal from a single take β no re-recording, no re-cropping. WHAT MAKES CROSSSNAP DIFFERENT: THE CROSS GUIDE While you record, CrossSnap overlays a cross-shaped guide that shows exactly what will be saved as the vertical video and what will be saved as the horizontal video. You can instantly see the vertical-only area, the horizontal-only area, and the shared center both frames keep. No more cut-off heads or off-center shots. What you preview is what you get. ONE TAKE, TWO VIDEOS One tap to record. When you stop, CrossSnap exports both videos automatically and saves them to your Photos library. - Vertical (1080x1920): for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Stories - Horizontal (1920x1080): for YouTube, widescreen, records, and presentations Capture the same moment in both orientations. PERFECT FOR - Kids' recitals, school events, and sports days - Games and practice (basketball, soccer, dance, and more) - Concerts, stage shows, parades, and fan events - Family memories, travel, and pets Post it vertical, keep it horizontal β you are covered either way.
