A digicam's color bleed, faded film, a camcorder's REC display, the colors of your first phone camera. Pick a camera and the viewfinder takes you back. Capture what you see, then redevelop it with another camera look whenever you change your mind. Pixira puts a shelf of old cameras on your iPhone. Choose a digicam, compact film camera, 8mm camcorder or early phone camera. Its colors and textures appear live and stay in your shot. Preview grain and flash effects, and turn the date stamp on or off before shooting. [Choose a camera. Shoot what you see] β€’ Digicam: 2000s CCD color bleed and noise, with the direct flash of a slim Y2K compact. β€’ Film: 35mm compact grain, faded colors and an orange date stamp. β€’ Camcorder: REC, timecode and the distinct textures of VHS, 8mm and MiniDV. β€’ Phone camera: ERA recreates the colors of early-2010s phone generations. β€’ Selfies and photo strips: use the front camera, shoot vertically or horizontally, and save a single shot or a four-photo strip. [OPTIC lens effects] β€’ Pixel hearts, stars, butterflies, confetti, light leaks, fisheye, prism and an 8-bit frame. β€’ Swipe through effects and preview them live in the viewfinder. [The same looks, in motion] β€’ Record video with the same cameras you use for photos. β€’ Trim, rotate and adjust light and color in Edit Room. [Redevelop and Edit Room] β€’ Redevelop: give captured or imported photos and videos another camera's look. Originals stay untouched. β€’ Edit Room: adjust light, color, curves, mixer and detail. Compare with β€œView Original”. Crop is available for photos only. β€’ Save finished photos and videos straight to your photo library. [Studio] β€’ Browse camera bodies like a display shelf, then start shooting with one that catches your eye. β€’ Save favorite camera and filter combinations as presets. [Great if you want to] β€’ Shoot retro film and digicam photos without editing afterward. β€’ Keep a vlog with a vintage camcorder feel. β€’ Try another camera's colors on photos you've already taken.

About

Dual Camera

Read full description

Dual Camera offers two ways to make social video without sending media to an online editing service. Record front and rear views together on a supported iPhone, or choose an existing clip and create a circular video file. DUAL-CAMERA RECORDING Capture the scene and your reaction at the same time on iPhones that support simultaneous multi-camera capture. One camera is the main view and the other is a smaller picture-in-picture, keeping both perspectives in one composition. Choose the framing that fits where you plan to share before you record: β€’ Portrait 9:16 for vertical posts and stories β€’ Landscape 16:9 for widescreen playback Adjust zoom, exposure, grid, and stabilization while a timer keeps the recording state visible. You can also retain the original recording. Dual-camera capture depends on supported iPhone hardware. The app shows when simultaneous capture is unavailable and can record without source audio if microphone access is denied. CIRCULAR VIDEO FROM A CLIP Choose a video with the system Photos picker, preview the centered circular crop, and select a window of up to 60 seconds before processing. The saved result follows a precise, portable media contract: β€’ 400 Γ— 400 opaque video canvas β€’ Edge-to-edge circular picture β€’ Near-white pixels outside the circle β€’ H.264 video in an MP4 file β€’ Source audio retained when the chosen clip contains audio β€’ Maximum finished duration of 60 seconds The receiving app decides how the file is displayed. Saving a circular video cannot force another service to classify it as a native round-message type. Dual Camera does not imitate or depend on a messaging brand. PRIVATE, LOCAL WORKFLOW Composition, trimming, cropping, encoding, and validation use AVFoundation and Photos on the device. Dual Camera does not require an account or upload selected or recorded media for processing. It includes no advertising, analytics, or tracking SDKs. Camera, microphone, and Photos access are requested only when needed. A result counts as delivered only after the finished file is saved to Photos. TEN INCLUDED SAVES Without a subscription, Dual Camera includes ten successfully delivered photo or video saves for the lifetime of the app installation. The allowance is shared by camera photos, square videos, circular-camera videos, and imported circular-video exports. Cancellations, abandoned results, invalid sources, processing errors, and saving failures do not use it. Dual Camera Plus is one auto-renewable yearly subscription for unlimited exports while active. The localized annual price and renewal terms appear before purchase. Restore Purchases can recover access bought with the same Apple Account.
