One take, both formats. ContentCam records portrait and landscape at the same time, so one shoot covers TikTok, Reels and YouTube. Get two separate files from a single tap, ready to post everywhere. No re-shooting, no cropping in post. MANY WAYS TO RECORD • Single Lens: one camera captures the full 4:3 sensor and crops both. Portrait keeps the full vertical view, landscape the full horizontal one. Neither is a crop of the other. • Dual Lens: the wide and ultra-wide cameras record together. Two perspectives, in one take. • Front/Back: the selfie and rear cameras record together. Your reaction and your scene, at the same time. • Front Cam: flip to the selfie camera and keep recording both formats. • Stock Cam: turn landscape off and shoot a single portrait file, like a normal camera. PHOTO • Shutter beside the record button: one press saves a 9:16 and a 16:9 photo of the same moment. • Dual Lens and Front/Back fire both cameras at once, so your photos cover both angles too. • Stills sit in the same take list as your clips, and save to Photos together. VIDEO • Resolution and frame rate: HD or 4K, set independently for portrait and landscape, at 24, 30 or 60fps. • Manual controls: exposure, white balance, ISO, shutter. • Focus and exposure: tap to focus, or press and hold to lock both together. • Teleprompter: scroll your script as you record. Adjustable speed, size, colour and mirror. • Stabilisation and HDR: native-grade stabilisation on every lens and true 10-bit HDR when you want it. • Timelapse: 0.5s to 30s intervals, 10x to 900x speedup. • Guides: grid, level indicator, centre crosshair, and an audio meter that pulses red when clipping. • Zoom: 0.5x, 1x and 2x buttons, pinch, or the dial. WORKFLOW • Projects, scenes, and takes: organise your shoots and have files named automatically. Review, trim, export, favourite, and share at any time. • Recording folder: point a project at a folder on your iPhone, and new recordings move there the moment you stop filming. • Review and trim: play both clips side by side with a synced scrubber, then trim to the frame. • Storage estimator: see how long you can record before you start. • Crash protection: an interrupted recording is recovered on next launch. • Thermal monitoring: warnings and auto-stops before your device overheats. Record both formats from a single lens in HD, free, no watermark, unlimited takes with no account.

REC LOOP
Read full descriptionHide full description
REC LOOP is a continuous recording app built around short countdowns and repeated takes. TRAINING — Build the ability to perform within a time limit Set a specific time limit and practice fitting your performance into it. For example, try speaking, performing, or playing an instrument within 10, 20, or 30 seconds. When one take ends, the next countdown starts immediately, giving you no time to stop and overthink. By repeating this process, you train yourself to organize your thoughts and deliver your best performance within a limited amount of time. BEST TAKE — Keep trying until you get the one Use REC LOOP to record the same performance over and over until you get the take you really like. Repeating the performance gives you more chances to capture that one great take—the moment when everything comes together. A SMARTER WAY TO MANAGE YOUR TAKES REC LOOP doesn't immediately save every recording to your files. Instead, your takes are kept temporarily while you record. When you're finished, you can review them all and save only the ones you want to keep. No clutter. No hundreds of unnecessary videos. Just record, repeat, choose your favorites, and save. FEATURES • Set the take length, rest time, and number of repeats, and the loop runs on its own • A 3·2·1 countdown before each take (can be turned off) • The remaining seconds are shown on screen, placed and sized however you like • The remaining seconds can also be written into the video itself (can be turned off) • A start sound that never ends up in your video • Switch cameras and pinch to zoom, even while recording • After the session, review, select, save, or delete your takes • Three typefaces for the numbers REC LOOP. Train within the limit. Repeat until it's your best. Keep only what matters.
