# Camcorder

> A folder of clips waits for an evening nobody ever spends on it. Camcorder hands back a finished film instead — everyone's clips, in the order things happened. Free for iPhone and iPad, with an Apple TV app for watching.

## Recording: A picture and a red button

Black screen, a rounded square of live video, one red button. Everything else is a touch on the picture, and six filters wait on a ring.

- **Record**: Tap the red button, and tap again to stop. Or hold it and let go.
- **A square, always**: Every clip is the same rounded square, so there is no wrong way to hold the phone.
- **Pre-roll**: Double tap the red button. Your next tap keeps the seconds before it.
- **Flip camera**: Double tap the picture.
- **Dual camera**: Double tap and hold the picture. Drag, swap with a double tap, or swipe it off.
- **Focus**: Tap the picture where you want it sharp.
- **Light**: Hold one finger still, then drag up for brighter or down for darker.
- **Zoom**: Press the volume buttons.
- **Change filter**: Turn the ring around the red button, or tap a filter on it.
- **Color filter**: Drag one finger on the picture.
- **Lens filter**: Drag two fingers on the picture.
- **Wear out filter**: Hold two fingers still, then drag.
- **Remove filter**: Shake the phone.
- **Lock Screen and Control Center**: Add Camcorder there and it opens ready to film.

## Playback: Clips string together on their own

Every press is a clip, and the clips are the film. Under the picture is the strip that holds them. A moment is the still you keep.

- **Watch your film**: Swipe the strip of clips. Tap the first clip, at the left end, to start over.
- **Play and pause**: Tap the picture. At the end, a tap plays it again.
- **Scrub**: Drag sideways on the picture.
- **Cut**: Hold the picture, slide to the spot. Tap the piece to drop, then the scissors.
- **Select clips**: Hold a clip in the strip; tap more to add. Trash, share, or make a new project.
  - **Delete clips**: Select them and tap the trash. It asks first, and it cannot be undone.
- **Full screen**: Pinch out, and pinch in to come back.
- **Back to the camera**: Tap the live picture at the end of the strip, or swipe to it.
- **Import clips**: Tap the download mark at the top left and pick clips from other projects.
  - **Copy or move**: Bringing clips in asks which. Neither makes a second file.
- **Keep a moment**: Double tap the picture. Save the print to Photos, or tap off it to let it go.

## Music: A score played to your film

No library and no tracks to choose. The app plays music under the film, and you steer it.

- **Instrument**: Turn the ring around the music note, or tap an instrument on it.
  - **No music**: The ring's NONE leaves the film with its own sound.
- **Instrument sound options**: Tap the instrument at the top of the ring. Each one has five.
- **Feel and volume**: Drag the music note: farther out is louder and livelier, around is the mood.
- **Perform the music**: Double tap the note, then drag as it plays. Red records, yellow plays it back.
  - **Back to automatic**: Double tap the note again. It asks, then deletes what you performed.

## Sharing: Take the film with you

Export is free for everyone. Nobody pairs while filming: afterward, phones in the same room trade clips directly, also free. Upload a film to a channel you name and send the link; uploading needs a Hosting Plan.

- **Export or upload**: Tap share. Export saves or sends the film; Upload to Channel gives it a link.
  - **Share link**: A film's link names its channel. Anyone with it can watch, in a browser or the app.
- **Share nearby**: Tap share, then Nearby, to swap clips with phones around you.
  - **Always in time order**: Several people's clips blend by when they were filmed.
- **Require PIN**: Four digits on a channel. People enter it once, and following keeps them in.
  - **Revoke everyone**: Everyone who opened the channel is asked for a new PIN.
- **The feed**: The TV mark on home: your uploads and the channels you follow, newest first.
- **Import from a film**: Choose a film's clips and bring them into a project, unchanged.

## Enjoy on the big screen: Your memories on the big screen

An Apple TV app for your channels and the ones you follow.

- **Camcorder for Apple TV**: Your uploads and the channels you follow, with the feed's four sections.
