Reaction Studio
Read full descriptionHide full description
React to anything. Reaction Studio lets you record your face over any video, edit it, and share straight to TikTok, Reels, and Shorts all on your iPhone. 2-WAY CAMERA Record your front and back cameras at the same time. React to whatever's in front of you in the real world, your face sits in a corner while the back camera captures the moment. REACT TO YOUR FEED Scroll your real TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube feed and screen-record it with your front-camera reaction overlaid live. You choose exactly what to capture. RECORD OVER ANY VIDEO Import from your camera roll or paste a link, then record your reaction picture-in-picture. Set exactly where the reaction starts, and resize, move, and style your camera box. FULL EDITOR Trim, split, and remove sections. Add captions, text, stickers, intros, outros, title cards, and a progress bar. Choose picture-in-picture, side-by-side, or split layouts. COMMUNITY Post your reactions to the feed, follow other creators, and collaborate on reactions together all built in. CLOUD BACKUP Save your reactions privately to the cloud so they're safe even if you lose your phone. Only you can see your cloud videos. SMART AUDIO ā NO FEEDBACK Headphone detection, echo cancellation, noise suppression, and automatic speaker ducking stop audio loopback so your recordings sound clean. Control video and mic volume independently, mute either, or go full voice-over. EXPORT & SHARE Render in 1080p for Reels, TikTok, Shorts, feed, or landscape. Save to your camera roll or share anywhere in one tap. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Reaction Studio only records what you choose to capture. It never accesses other apps' data or feeds, and your videos stay private to you.
ReactShow

React to any video or photo and walk away with a clip that's ready to post ā no editing afterwards. ReactShow records you with the front camera while a video or photos from your library play on screen. When you stop, the final file is already put together: both perfectly in sync, in the right shape for vertical short-form video. PICK YOUR LAYOUT ⢠Split screen: you on top, the video below (or the other way around), with the divider wherever you want it. ⢠Picture-in-picture (PiP): your camera in a small window over the video ā drag it to any corner. ⢠Background cutout: the app removes your background in real time and places you over the video. The green screen effect, without a green screen. ⢠Dual camera: front and back cameras recording at the same time, so you can react to what's in front of you. ⢠Switch layouts while recording: the final video repeats every change you made. RECORD WITH CONFIDENCE ⢠Floating teleprompter: your script scrolls right next to the camera, so you keep looking at your audience. ⢠Script library: save your scripts and reuse them anytime. ⢠Photo slides: line up a sequence of images and comment on each one. FINISH IN SECONDS ⢠Automatic pause removal: the app finds the silences and trims the dead air. Nothing is deleted from the original recording, so you can always undo. ⢠9:16, 4:5 and 16:9 formats, in 1080p or up to 4K. ⢠Save straight to Photos and post anywhere. MADE FOR Reaction videos, news commentary, game and trailer breakdowns, product reviews, lessons, meme reactions, testimonials ā any content where your face is part of the story.
