Catch the shot you'd normally miss. QuickBurst fires off rapid photo bursts and hands-free timed captures, then helps you cull the pile down to the keepers, so every fast-moving moment ends with one great frame. Prop your phone up, walk into the shot, and let QuickBurst do the shooting. Whether you're fitting the whole group in the frame, shooting your own content solo, or traveling with nobody around to hold the camera, you'll come away with the frame you actually wanted. WHY QUICKBURST • Rapid burst capture: shoot a fast sequence and never miss the right expression • Hands-free self-timer: set it, step back, and let the camera fire on its own • Interval mode: schedule shots seconds or minutes apart for tripod and timelapse-style sessions • Smart focus & tracking: double-tap to lock focus on your subject and keep it sharp • Burst, cull, keep the best: review each session and rate your favorites fast • Built-in gallery with star ratings: organize sessions and surface your top picks • Full native quality: HDR, RAW and full resolution, matching the stock camera • Optional location tagging: stamp GPS into your photos when you want it (off by default) • Saves straight to your photo library MADE FOR EVERY SHOT YOU'RE IN Group photos where everyone looks good. Solo shoots when there's nobody to hold the camera. Travel shots you'd otherwise have to ask a stranger for. QuickBurst is built for everything a single tap can't catch. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your photos stay on your device and in your photo library. Location tagging is fully optional and off until you turn it on. FREE TO TRY QuickBurst is free to use. PRO unlocks larger bursts and RAW capture, as a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Download QuickBurst and stop missing the shot.

About

Crossline

Features
Read full description

Crossline is a shot-planning tool for anyone blocking a scene before the camera rolls. Lay out your floor plan: walls, furniture, performers, cameras, lights, and drag setups into place. A live preview shows exactly what each camera will frame, at the lens and height you've chosen, before you've committed anyone's time to it. Crossline tracks your screen direction as you work. Cross the 180-degree line without a bridging shot and it tells you, by name, which pair of setups is the problem, not just that something, somewhere, might cut wrong. When you're ready to move from plan to picture: • Export a written prompt optimised for an AI image tool. Every frame carries style, setting, characters, set dressing, camera, lens, light and who's looking where, with screen direction built into the description, so the model can't quietly mirror your composition and reverse the scene. Delivered as a paste-in-order brief for tools that keep context between prompts, or as one self-contained prompt per frame for anything with no memory between requests. • Export a plain-language shot list for a human illustrator instead. No AI required. Available in English, Spanish, French and German. • Export the board as a printable PDF, six frames a page, with shot size, lens and height noted under each one. • Bring illustrated frames back in, mark up the camera moves, and print or export the finished storyboard. • Export every setup as structured data, for whatever you build next. Planning, the line checks and the coverage report are free, and always will be. Exporting is a single one-off purchase. There is no subscription.
