**Exploring the Features of a New iPhone Video Recording App**

Just go through the different modes up here, you can see we're recording in the discreet mode and this is what I would use most of the time. What you're getting when you're recording in this mode is two separate video files, one for each camera, that are 1080p. This isn't in 4K yet, but I think you have the most freedom with this version because you can really do whatever you want in post. Up here, you can toggle through the three different modes.

The discreet mode allows for two separate video files, one for each camera, which are both recorded at 1080p. This mode is ideal for situations where you need to record multiple angles without being too distracting. The next mode is the picture-in-picture mode. Now, I personally wouldn't use this mode as much because if you press record, you're getting everything you see in the frame, including this little box. You will capture this box moving in your final video file, which can be kind of fun. I don't know what you would use it for; I guess you would use it for like when I'm skating around looking like a doofus. You can see my face and then also see where I'm going.

However, again that's probably just something for fun. For Instagram or something like that, it is kind of cool. But, in a professional setting, this mode is unlikely to be used. You can also swipe this away and then tap this little arrow to bring it back and so on and so forth. The third mode is the split-screen mode. Now again, I think this is just for fun. I don't know how much I would actually use it if I'm trying to make something substantial but to use for Instagram or something like that, it is kind of cool.

The split-screen mode allows you to view two different angles at once, which can be useful in certain situations. This mode is ideal for creating a more dynamic and engaging video. It's also visually appealing, with a comic book-like effect. However, there are some limitations to this app. There's no zooming within the app; there's no digital zoom; there's no pinch-to-zoom feature. The camera has native focal lengths, which can be a bit restrictive.

However, I think that's also kind of part of its charm. You don't have any digital zoom or other fancy features like that. It's just a simple, straightforward recording app. And yet, it's incredibly versatile and capable of producing high-quality video. **The App's Customization Options**

One thing to note is the lack of customization options within the app. There are no settings for adjusting brightness, contrast, or saturation. The camera settings are relatively basic, which can be a drawback for some users.

However, I think this is also kind of a benefit. You're not getting bogged down in a complex menu system or trying to adjust every little detail. It's just a simple, intuitive interface that allows you to focus on what matters: recording high-quality video. Of course, there are other apps available that offer more customization options, but I think this app is designed for a different type of user.

**The App's Uses**

So, what can you use this app for? Well, the answer is: anything! It's incredibly versatile and capable of producing high-quality video in a wide range of situations. For example, it would be perfect for journalists or filmmakers who need to capture multiple angles quickly and easily. You could point your iPhone at something and record two separate videos at the same time, which can be really useful in hectic environments.

Another use case is for interviews. With this app, you could film a single shot of the person being interviewed, while also capturing a second angle on the speaker's face. This would allow you to create a more dynamic and engaging video that shows multiple perspectives at once. It's also ideal for situations where you need to capture a lot of footage quickly, such as concert events or sporting events.

**A Word from the Author**

I think one of the biggest questions with this app is: what are you going to use it for? While I don't have all the answers, I do know that it has a lot of potential. Whether you're a professional filmmaker or just someone who wants to capture high-quality video on your iPhone, this app is definitely worth checking out.

Of course, there's no denying that the app lacks some features that other apps have, such as customization options and advanced editing tools. However, I think that's also part of its charm. It's a simple, intuitive interface that allows you to focus on what matters: recording high-quality video. And who knows? You might be surprised at how much creativity and experimentation you can do with just two separate video files.

In conclusion, this app is definitely worth checking out, especially if you're looking for a simple and versatile way to record high-quality video on your iPhone. Just keep in mind that it's not perfect – and that sometimes the simplest things are the most powerful.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enyou're looking at the interface of film mix new free app called double-take that lets you record any of your iPhone's two cameras at the same time now in one of the grayed out cameras you'll see my lovely producer mark back there now I'm not exactly sure what the best use case is for this app just yet but it still sounds pretty cool so I'm gonna jump over this table and come walk you through it so you probably remember Apple demoing this feature onstage at the last iPhone event it's finally here in good news the interface looks pretty much the same as it did then now there are other third-party apps that have given you access to two cameras before but this is free has no watermark and it's made by filmic which in my opinion is one of the biggest players in the phone videography space so without further ado come back here and I'll show you how it works all right so let's open up the app and then down in the bottom corner click this little lens icon and we can see all four of our cameras with the ones in color being the ones that are active now to be clear this can only record two cameras at the same time it can't record three or four and obviously it also does portrait mode as well as landscape although I would personally mostly use it in landscape so let's pick our cameras let's do the selfie camera make that the a camera and the ultra-wide and then down here you can change the frame rate we got crispy 24 frames a second 25 frames a second and 30 and that's where it maxes out is that 30 but let's keep it in 24 and then tap confirm and then we'll preview both of our cameras and move this out of the way and before you roll you can tap into either of these cameras and double tap to lock exposure and focus and then we can expand this one and do the same focus on this lovely succulent succulent is a weird word when I say it like that and then minimize that so let's just go through the different modes up here you can see we're recording in the discreet mode and this is what I would use most of the time what you're getting when you're recording in this mode is two separate video files one for each camera that are 1080p this isn't in 4k yet but I think you have the most freedom with this version because you can really do whatever you want in post so up here you can toggle through the three different modes the next

capture this box moving in your final video file which is like kind of fun I don't know what you would use it for I guess you would use it for like when I'm skating around looking like a doofus you can see my face and then also see where I'm going but again that's probably just something for fun for Instagram I don't think you would ever use it in a professional setting you can also swipe this away and then tap this little arrow to bring it back and so on and so forth and then the third mode is the split-screen mode now again I think this is just for fun I don't know how much I would actually use it if I'm trying to make something substantial but to use for Instagram or something like that it is kind of cool and it's a little trendy you know this kind of comic book mode you see it in Nike commercials and stuff like that and it should also be said that there's no zooming within this app there's no digital zoom there's no pinch to zoom it's just the native focal length of each lens and each camera which honestly I kind of back you should never digital zoom don't add me that's pretty much it as far as features within the app you can click this little SD card icon up here and it goes into your library you've been seeing all the footage shot around my neighborhood and me having fun with this thing but I'm gonna tell mark to get away from over my shoulder I'm going to talk to you over there again so let's do that all right so let's step back I think the biggest question with this app isn't whether it's cool or not because I think it's definitely cool but it's what you're gonna use this for now things that come immediately to my head are a journalist or someone who filmed stuff in a hectic environment in a pinch it's just a huge time safe you get to point your iPhone at something and you can record to focal lengths at the same time I think that's pretty cool let's say you're shooting an interview you can get a two shot and a single on the most important person at the same time so that's a situation where I think this would be super useful Apple use the example of maybe you're at a concert and with one camera you can film the whole band and with the telephoto you can focus on the singer but let's just step back from that for a moment public service announcement if you're the person at the concert that's holding your phone up the whole time just stop and if you don't stop just don't come over to my house because I don't want to talk to you because just limit it to two Instagram stories max and then put your phone away and enjoy it you're never gonna watch those videos again I could really talk about this forever now the other two modes the picture-in-picture and the split screen modes I think those are just for fun which is totally okay because again this is a free app it's not like filmic which is $15 which side note I think is a perfectly reasonable price to pay for the amount of features you get within filmic that really enhances your iPhone video now this doesn't really have a lot of customizable features like it does again that's okay and bigger picture I think this is just a fun step in the direction of phones maybe one day replacing professional cameras even with something more robust like filmic I don't think we're quite there yet but these are all baby steps to making this little thing you carry in your pocket be able to do things we never thought it could do again I think the biggest thing is thinking of a reason to use this app but I think that's more of an opportunity than a problem my mind's already been racing trying to think of different ways to use this thing I'm sure you guys could come up with some pretty cool scenarios to try it let me know in the comments thanks so much for watching I've been trying to think of a clever catchphrase to sign off with but I can't come up with one so I think I'm just gonna jump over this table again oh not quite as graceful as the last timeyou're looking at the interface of film mix new free app called double-take that lets you record any of your iPhone's two cameras at the same time now in one of the grayed out cameras you'll see
