This app is an entirely new way to process video. Developed by the guy from the viral Soviet Montage video http://vimeo.com/14821961 (A million views in a day and top 50 most liked video on Vimeo!). This app performs real-time shadow enhancement and gives an HDR look you won't find anywhere else. If you don't believe it, try it and compare to normal iPhone video.

Please understand when you post a review that I'm the sole developer and I'm working to make it even better. Please feel free to contact me through the support link.

SOME OF THE MANY FEATURES:

✭ effects are live as you film
✭ focus independently of exposure* - tap then drag
✭ pinch to zoom the video (the way it should be)
✭ easily lock WB, exposure and focus--double tap
✭ share full quality videos to facebook, twitter, youtube, tumblr, flickr & more

AirPlay enabled. And supports 16:9 letterbox for the viewfinder, to frame your shots precisely.
It's a versatile app -- you can go from subtle, to low light enhancement, to outlandish

TECH SPECS
Shoots in 640x360 with avg. frame rates of 16 on a 3Gs and 24fps and above on the iPhone 4 and 4s. If you're getting lower frame rates, take advantage of exposure and focus lock for stutter-free video, or try restarting your device.
* independent focus and exposure available on devices which support focus in their hardware (iPhone 4 and 3Gs)

NOTE
Some users have complained of problems exporting clips longer than 5 minutes. If you have this problem, use iTunes sharing to export the clip in full. I'm working on a solution.

This app RULES!
Cargo pilot

I've had this app for a few years. I love it! If you really want to see it shine? Use it in low light conditions. Where your normal camera sees just black, this app will see details and colors. I love this app for that. My none iPhone friends get a little iEnvy when I can take night videos and they can't. PLEASE UPDATE!


Please Update

iOS 5 update needed
~Jason~

Great application just waiting for the update:)


Disappointed about misleading description
can't I have a nickname

I'm sure this is a great app, though at a glance to the left listing requirements it says: "Requires iOS 4.1 or later" So I made the purchase only to find out it kept crashing. I have iOS 5 which is as the requirements says "iOS 4.1 or later". Only to come back and read at the very bottom of the full description that it "DOES NOT" work with iOS 5. What a let down after making a purchase. The Requirement list at left of the description should have reflected this.


Loved it before
moviesmile

I loved this app and took some great videos but now it crashes immediately upon opening since I updated to IOS 5. Please fix. I'll give it 5 stars again after you fix it. Does anyone else have this problem?

shoots amazing video. however, stopped working after ios5 upgrade. they say the update is there but not yet appearing. I hope apple doesn't block it - apple is behaving strange now (like they blocked Siri on iphone4 with flimsy excuse)


Crashing in OS5
SpelunkingHomunculus

App opens, shows some sort of line growing on screen then quits.


Crash, crash , crash

I have the new iPhone 4s bought this app to take advantage of the new and improved camera. Much to my disappointment it just won't open. Continually crashes. Doesn't even deserve 1 star. I'm down 2 bucks & stuck with an app that doesn't work!
