Record the scene and your reaction in one take. The teleprompter requires PairTake Pro. PairTake is a dual camera recorder for photos and video on compatible devices. Record with your front and back cameras at the same time, whether you are filming a travel vlog, an interview or a product demonstration. Dual camera video, ready to share Dual camera recording combines the views from both cameras into a split screen video, side by side or stacked vertically. For picture-in-picture, keep your selfie in a movable PiP window and adjust its size, shape and border. Swap the main and inset views to suit the shot. Use it as a vlog camera or capture a reaction video alongside the scene as it happens. Read your script, keep the video clean The built-in teleprompter scrolls your script in the preview. Adjust text size, speed, color, position and mirroring while speaking to camera. Prompts stay out of saved photos and videos. Start with watermark-free capture Basic-quality photos, videos and two-view compositions have no watermark or per-export limit. Core capture works without signing in. PairTake Pro adds separate front and rear video files for editing, voice enhancement, plus 4K output and 60 fps options in supported device and mode combinations. Your recordings, saved on your device Finished photos and videos are saved automatically to Photos. After saving succeeds, PairTake removes its temporary copy. Camera media and scripts are processed on your device. Optional account, feedback and purchase features use network services as explained in the privacy policy.
