Cuscam

Read full description

Cuscam is a professional video camera for creators who shoot alone but still want a clean production workflow. It is built for interviews, social videos, courses, product shots, reels, documentary notes, behind-the-scenes clips, creator content, and mobile filmmaking where the phone is the main camera. Cuscam keeps the recording screen readable and fast while giving you the tools that normally live across several separate apps. PRO CAMERA WORKFLOW Record with a camera-first interface designed for speed. Keep format, lens, codec, frame rate, audio status, remaining time, and recording feedback visible without covering the frame. Work with 4K and 60 fps capture flows, manual exposure controls, focus tools, white balance, EV, ISO, shutter visibility, lens selection, grid, center marker, safe area, aspect guide, preview desqueeze, and quick control surfaces. AUDIO THAT DOES NOT SURPRISE YOU Bad audio can ruin a good take. Cuscam gives audio its own workflow: input source selection, audio output route picker, live level status, room noise feedback, peak warning, limiter, Voice Protect, stereo options, input gain where supported, and route lock for connected microphones. If you plug in a mic, headset, Bluetooth route, or monitoring output, Cuscam helps you see what is active and keep the setup under control. TELEPROMPTER FOR SOLO SHOOTS Use the built-in teleprompter when you need to present clearly without another person behind the camera. Adjust speed, text size, opacity, panel opacity, alignment, mirroring, countdown, auto-start behavior, and prompt text. It is designed to stay readable without taking over the whole camera interface. PRO MONITORING TOOLS Cuscam includes the visual tools creators expect from a serious camera app: waveform, histogram, false color, zebra exposure warnings, focus peaking, LUT preview, LUT intensity, imported .cube LUT support, quick LUT toggle, night vision style preview, and desqueeze. Use these tools to judge exposure, focus, color, and framing before the mistake reaches the final clip. SHOT LIST AND PRODUCTION MEMORY Plan shots before recording and keep the production moving. Shot List helps you create a shot plan, mark scenes, advance through takes, and keep notes close to the camera. Recent Clips works more like a production archive than a plain gallery: review takes, organize notes, prepare handoff packages, and keep export history in one place. DELIVERY AND HANDOFF Cuscam is not only about pressing REC. It helps you finish the capture workflow with export packages, ZIP delivery, CSV, JSON, TSV, FCPXML-ready handoff, recent clip history, favorites, metadata, and project organization. This is useful when you move from mobile capture into editing, review, client delivery, or your own archive. iCLOUD BACKUP AND RESTORE Enable iCloud Backup to copy recordings, clip metadata, camera profiles, LUT favorites, shot lists, and export history to the same iCloud account. If you delete the app or move back onto the same account, the workflow is designed around restoring the pieces that matter, not only remembering a few settings. SUBSCRIPTION AND LEGAL Cuscam Pro is available as monthly, yearly, or lifetime access. Monthly and yearly plans are auto-renewable subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in App Store account settings. Lifetime Pro is a one-time purchase for the Apple ID used.

Nothing is decided for you unless you want it to be.
