DualCam

Read full description

Record video and take photos with both iPhone cameras at the same time. DualCam combines the front and rear views into one file while you shoot, so there is nothing to edit or stitch together afterwards. LAYOUTS - Picture in picture: the small window can be dragged anywhere in the frame, not just parked in a corner. Let go near an edge and it snaps into alignment. Switch it between a circle and a rounded square. - Split top and bottom - Split left and right Change the layout in the middle of a recording and the frame follows instantly. No need to stop and shoot again. PHOTOS FROM BOTH CAMERAS One press of the shutter captures both cameras and saves a single photo, already composed, in exactly the layout you see on screen. What you frame is what you get. WHILE YOU SHOOT - Live filters, applied as you record - Pinch to zoom, tap to focus - Exposure adjustment - Countdown before recording starts - 9:16 or full screen aspect ratio - Flashlight, grid, mute GOOD FOR Reaction videos, travel and food vlogs, interviews and two-sided conversations, tutorials where your face and your hands both matter, and moments where the person filming belongs in the shot. PRIVACY Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-up, nothing uploaded. What you shoot goes straight to your photo library. REQUIREMENTS DualCam uses the multi-camera hardware in iPhone XS and later. Earlier iPhones cannot run both cameras at once.

Uma gravação. Dois arquivos. O Dual Frame grava o enquadramento vertical 9:16 e o horizontal 16:9 ao mesmo tempo, e entrega dois arquivos independentes e sincronizados. Não é um corte feito depois: os dois nascem da mesma tomada, do mesmo áudio e da mesma linha do tempo. DUAS LENTES DE VERDADE No modo de duas lentes, a câmera principal grava o vertical e a ultra wide grava o horizontal — dois ângulos reais, ao mesmo tempo. A coluna ao lado do preview vertical troca a lente dele, de 1× a 8×, sem mexer no horizontal. UMA LENTE, ÁREA MÁXIMA DE SENSOR No modo de lente única, o app ativa o formato de maior área útil que a câmera oferece e recorta na GPU, em tempo real. Partindo do 4:3 de sensor cheio, o vertical sai bem maior do que sairia de um 4K 16:9 convencional. O APP NÃO ESCONDE NÚMERO Cada formato mostra a resolução real que vai para cada arquivo, o ângulo de visão, a taxa de quadros e se ele estabiliza. Nada de alta, média e baixa. Se uma resolução não está na lista, é porque o seu iPhone não a oferece. TAMBÉM TEM • Foto durante a gravação, no mesmo enquadramento, sem interromper os arquivos • Apple Log quando o formato oferece, com conversor para Rec.709 embutido • Escolha de estabilização, sabendo quanto cada modo recorta • HEVC ou H.264, MOV ou MP4 • Toque para focar e expor, arraste para ajustar o brilho • Galeria com filtro por formato • Salvar na biblioteca de Fotos, na pasta do app, ou nos dois PRIVACIDADE O app não coleta nada. Não tem servidor, não faz conexão de rede, não usa análise nem publicidade. Tudo o que ele produz fica no seu iPhone. REQUISITOS iOS 17.2 ou mais recente. O modo de duas lentes exige um iPhone com suporte a MultiCam; em aparelhos sem esse suporte, o app funciona em lente única.
