Turn the moments you shot into a video worth sharing. The view from your trip, a weekend with friends, your usual walk. Vlog Camera is a vlog app that automatically edits the photos and videos already on your iPhone into a stylish vlog. Just pick your clips and a mood. No need to learn video editing to make something that feels like yours. β Your next vlog is already in your library Pick by date, by where you shot, or choose the photos and videos you like. Make it the way that fits the memory you want to keep. Clips from the built-in Camera and other apps work too, so there's nothing new to shoot. The travel videos you never got around to, that one day you keep thinking about β all of it becomes a single movie. β Pick a mood and leave the editing to us Afterglow, for striking moments timed to the music. Old Film, slow and gentle with one handwritten line. Daily Diary, bright and fun. City Rush, clean and polished. Choose a mood and the app handles the cuts, the track and the look together. Spend less time hunting for music and fiddling with edits, and more time enjoying the finished video. β Gentle help, starting from the shot You can also shoot right in the app's camera. Framing and shooting guides, plus stabilization, help you get shots that look like a vlog. When you're not sure how to shoot, follow the example. When you just want to shoot, hit record. Start with a single short clip. β When you want to fine-tune a little Drop a cut you don't like, add a favorite moment, change the look, add some text. Adjust it on the same screen while you watch the result. Pick a different track from the 17 included, or turn down the music to keep the sound you recorded. Whether you let it finish on its own or add your own touch, it's your video. β For sharing, or just for you Share it as a vertical video or a short, or keep it as a video diary. Small everyday moments and special trips alike become a record you'll want to watch again. Like keeping a diary, without the pressure to do it every day. Enjoy it at your own pace, whenever there's something you want to keep. β Easy to start, made for your memories No account needed. No ads. Photos and videos you shoot in the app are saved to a "Vlog Camera" album in Photos. On-screen guides never appear in your footage. β Pricing Free: two videos a month, up to 30 seconds, with a watermark. Light (five a month) and Unlimited are monthly or yearly auto-renewing plans with videos up to three minutes, no watermark, landscape orientation and 4K sharing. Cancel anytime in your iPhone's Settings. Editing and exporting happen on your device.

MANY CHARACTERS. β’ Seamless Zoom Move naturally from wide to close without interrupting the shot. β’ Camera Simulations Shoot with distinct camera-inspired looks, each built around its own color, texture, and optical character. β’ Aperture Character Aperture is part of each cameraβs identity β changing how light, depth, softness, and starbursts feel. β’ Aperture Control On supported hardware, control the physical aperture directly. Other supported devices recreate the experience computationally. β’ Shoot, Donβt Filter Choose your camera and aperture before the shutter. The look is part of how you shoot, not something added afterward. One iPhone. Many cameras. A different character in every shot.
