Director Cam

Shooting alone means no one tells you the framing is off or the audio is noisy — until it's too late. Director Cam watches every take while you film. Nothing is sent to a server — it all runs on your device. [Script · Teleprompter] Write what you want to say; it scrolls over the viewfinder one line at a time while you record. Set the pace to match you. [Live directing] · Video score — framing, lighting, and audio combined into a live grade · Face-tracking brackets, an eyeline guide, and a rule-of-thirds grid · Role-coded real-time coaching — Director calls your framing, Sound watches your audio · A live dB level meter [After the take] Total score and grade, a per-category breakdown (framing, lighting, audio, delivery), and one tap to jump to your highest-scoring moments. [Export] Save your take or share it straight out. [Privacy] No account. No server. Every bit of analysis runs on your device, offline — and your footage never leaves your phone. Available in English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. Shoot solo — like someone's watching out for you.
PresetCollection

PresetCollection makes it easy to use Lightroom-style `.xmp` presets on your photos without a complicated editing workflow. Start with the included preset collections, then add your own preset files from the Files app. PresetCollection copies imported presets into the app, organizes them by group when possible, and lets you switch between looks from a clean preset menu. It is built for people who already have favorite presets, buy preset packs from photographers, or create their own looks in Lightroom and want a simple way to apply them on iPhone and iPad. What you can do: - Import one or many `.xmp` preset files - Import folders that contain `.xmp` presets - Browse presets by group, including included and imported groups - Apply presets to photos from your library - Adjust Strength from less effect to more effect - Keep black-and-white presets black and white at every strength level - Compare the edited photo with the original - Save edited images to Photos - Share edited images with other apps - Delete presets or preset groups you no longer want - Use the app in portrait or landscape on iPhone and iPad PresetCollection is especially useful if you collect presets from multiple places. You might use presets you created in Lightroom, presets shared by friends or photographers, free Lightroom preset downloads, or paid preset packs from marketplaces such as Adobe Exchange, Creative Market, Etsy, or individual photographer shops. Only import presets you own, created yourself, or have permission to use. PresetCollection approximates supported Lightroom-style settings with a native iOS photo rendering pipeline. Results may not exactly match Adobe Lightroom, but the app is designed to make preset-based editing quick, flexible, and easy.
