TallWide
Read full descriptionHide full description
TallWide is a camera that records one take into two finished videos at the same time: a 16:9 landscape video for YouTube and a 9:16 portrait video for Reels, Shorts and TikTok. Stop shooting everything twice ā frame once, press record once, get both files. HOW IT WORKS Your iPhone sensor sees more than a single video format. TallWide captures the full sensor frame and cuts both formats out of it while you shoot. The viewfinder shows exactly what lands where: the bright zone reaches both videos, the half-shade belongs to one format only, and the dark corners stay out of both. Keep your subject in the bright zone ā that is the whole technique. WHY CREATORS CHOOSE TALLWIDE ⢠One take ā two ready files. No re-shooting, no cropping in an editor afterwards. ⢠Real pixels, not upscaling. Cropping a portrait video out of a finished 16:9 clip throws away most of the frame. TallWide cuts both formats from the full sensor, so each file keeps honest resolution. ⢠Subject alert. If the person you are filming drifts out of the portrait frame, the frame edge lights up and the phone taps your hand ā you notice without looking away. ⢠Both files appear right away. The portrait video is ready the moment you stop; the landscape one finishes seconds later, even if you close the app. FEATURES ⢠Two capture modes: Handheld (stabilized) and Tripod (full sensor, maximum coverage in both formats) ⢠Photo while recording: one tap saves the full frame plus both crops ⢠Zoom with lens switching, tap to focus, AE/AF lock, exposure dial, torch, timer ⢠Rule-of-thirds grid and horizon level right in the shared zone ⢠Takes gallery keeps both versions of every take together ⢠Share the right file to the right platform in two taps ⢠Auto-save to Photos, recovery of interrupted recordings, storage control ⢠Works fully offline, no account required FREE ā ACTUALLY FREE No subscriptions, no watermarks, no locked features, no trial timers. Every capability of TallWide is available to everyone from the first launch. PRIVACY Everything is processed on your device. Your videos and photos never leave your iPhone unless you share them yourself. The gallery may occasionally show a small, clearly marked advertising card for our own apps and services ā never third-party ad networks, never tracking.
