MeltCam vs Video Thing

Point the camera, and watch your world melt, warp, and glow. MeltCam is a real-time psychedelic camera app. From trending VHS-style noise to glitch, kaleidoscope, neon, and tie-dye, switch between bold effects and reshape the world right inside your viewfinder. [What makes MeltCam different] ◆ Zero-lag real-time preview No heavy post-processing, no waiting. Effects transform your viewfinder the instant you tap them. You're not editing after the shot — the world is already warped before you press the shutter. ◆ Social-ready 1:1 square Preview and saved photo are pixel-perfect identical squares. Drop them straight into your Instagram or TikTok feed, profile, or thumbnail without second-guessing the crop. ◆ A bold lineup of effects - Melt: signs and shapes drip and flow like liquid - Tie-Dye: vivid tie-dye psychedelia - Wave: a sine-wave shimmer like looking through water - Mirror: symmetrical beauty born from a flip - Glitch: scanlines and noise, full digital decay - Acid: hue rotation paints the world in psychedelic colors - Plasma: undulating plasma light - Trip: a swirling vortex of mind-bending color - Vortex: a spiral that pulls everything inward - Kaleidoscope: peer into another world through a kaleidoscope - Neon Edge: outlines glow like neon signs - Prism Split: prism-shifted color separation - VHS Noise: gritty, retro 80s tape noise ◆ Photos and videos, ready to post Save photos and videos with the effect baked in, straight to your library. Record short videos up to 60 seconds. No extra editing step required. ◆ Front and rear camera Selfies or scenery, your call. Like the stock camera, the preview is mirrored while the saved photo is not — so what you share looks the way it should. [Made for you if you...] - Want photos and videos that don't look like everyone else's - Love glitch, psychedelic, and neon visuals - Shoot music, live shows, clubs, and festivals - Have outgrown standard filter apps - Want to play with the shot, not just edit it after [MeltCam Pro] Free users get unlimited use of the basic effects. Upgrade to Pro to unlock all the psychedelic, neon, and retro effects. [Supported languages] English, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), German, Spanish, Korean, French, Simplified Chinese Look through the lens, into another world. With MeltCam, turn what's in front of you into something that isn't quite real.

Video Thing mixes four videos live on your iPhone. No timeline, no clip list to manage. You perform the video with your hands, hit record when it looks the way you want, and save it to your camera roll. Load a video from your Photos into any bay, aim your camera at what's in front of you, or drop in a live signal generator. Four bays, four sources, in any combination. Each channel has its own video fader and audio fader, plus mute, solo, hide, and spot buttons. Eight blend modes to pick from — normal, screen, lighten, darken, multiply, difference, XOR, and add-wrap. Effects like color, glitch, mirror, freeze, and a matte you can draw with your finger, plus feedback loops with a Droste spiral. A luma key to drop black, a noise generator when you need one. Video Thing can react to audio too. Wire the low, mid, or high frequency band — or the master level — into any effect parameter. The picture moves with the music. Everything's live. Drag the divider to grow the monitor. Tap the picture for fullscreen. Double-tap any knob to reset it. Hit record and the whole mix saves straight to your camera roll as an mp4, in the same aspect as your source clip.
