Frame both outputs live, press Record, and create footage for different screens without repeating the take. ONE TAKE, TWO FORMATS • Record portrait and landscape video at the same time • Receive two separate, synchronized video files • Preview both compositions while you record • Move the landscape preview anywhere on the screen • Tuck the preview against either edge when you need a clear view • Save both videos directly to Photos • Keep recordings inside AspectTake when Photos access is unavailable CAPTURE WITH CONFIDENCE Choose from the resolutions and frame rates supported by your iPhone, including up to 4K and 24, 30, or 60 fps on compatible devices. See an estimated recording size before you begin, enable the optional framing grid, use the flashlight when supported, and keep both formats composed throughout the take. MADE FOR EVERY SCREEN Create a vertical version for short-form feeds, stories, mobile viewing, and social content. At the same time, capture a horizontal version for widescreen video, websites, presentations, interviews, courses, events, and editing workflows. PREMIUM AND PRIVATE AspectTake is a focused camera with no account, no advertisements, and no subscription. Video processing takes place on your iPhone, and your recordings remain under your control.
