Stop choosing between vertical and horizontal. StarCrop records the full picture, so you can crop to vertical or horizontal later ā 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 ā the master can always recreate them - Ready for anything: YouTube, TikTok, Reels, TV ā and formats you haven't thought of yet Perfect for family moments, kids' events, travel, and everyday vlogging ā anywhere you don't get a second take.
