Filmic today released its DoubleTake camera app, which allows iPhone users to shoot with multiple cameras at the same time. An early version of the app was demoed during Apple's iPhone 11 Pro media event back in September.

By letting users shoot with multiple cameras simultaneously, DoubleTake enables twice as much coverage on the same take. Apple used the app on stage to highlight the advanced features of the ?iPhone 11 Pro? and 11 Pro Max triple-lens camera system.

The app's main interface consists of a compound overlay showing primary and secondary cameras, combining front-facing and rear-facing ?iPhone cameras. Users can cut between them, or capture the video feeds displayed alongside each other, in either split-screen or picture-in-picture mode.

You can choose which lenses you want to capture footage from - the ultra wide, wide, telephoto, or front-facing camera - and opt to shoot in 24, 25, or 30 frames per second. After that, it's just a matter of selecting the layout of the feeds in the composite display and then pressing the record button.

DoubleTake is compatible with iPhone XR/XS/XS Max and iPhone 11/11 Pro/11 Pro Max models running iOS 13, and is available as a free download from the App Store. [Direct Link]

it looks like Doubletake app is an early look at the feature coming to its existing pro app according to the app description on the Canadian Appstore I guess implementation of the feature has been harder then they thought.

Yep... the Youtube reviewers are also confirming that.
 
Had hoped that it would create 2 separate video recordings, unfortunately its one file with either a split or PiP...pretty much useless like this

You can create two separate recordings. Cycle through the options top right. You get PiP, Split Screen or Discrete which will give you the two recordings you wanted.

Doesn't seem to be on the UK App Store?

Can it record in higher bitrates or just standard iPhone ones?

If you go through the direct link on this article it works fine in UK. Worked for me!


App is simple but works great. Only works on a max of 2 cameras though, I Was hoping to use all 4 (not sure of the practical reason for that, just wanted to try it!).

From the app description:
DoubleTake gives you an early look at the multi-cam capability that will be coming to our award-winning cinema camera app Filmic Pro.

So it's basically a test app. What a great idea if they're having problems with full integration, as it allows people to get a feel for it, without driving expectations that everything works, as it would if it was integrated into the main app (and then the massive moans from paying customers about its deficiencies that would follow, no doubt with needless bad app store reviews, which makes the app seem unnecessarily worse than it is).

More apps should try this model for big feature releases that are taking much longer than expected; good on them.

That’s nice that it’s a free download, but I question how many people would be willing to use something like this? But props to the developers for coming up with something so unique to the iPhone camera.
 
What's the difference between this free one and the $15 one that is linked to it under the red button?

Edit: nevermind the paid version has pro features like log that I will never use.
 
The iPhone does not have multiple cameras, it has multiple LENSES. That’s why you can’t record from any more than one of them at the same time in full resolution.

This may already be out there, but hoping for the ability to record 16x9 using the wide lens, then 9x16 cropped from 4k 16x9 ultra wide lens footage simultaneously. I could see this being a boon for people capturing footage for both Youtube, then vertical video on social media.
 
I'd very surprised if it works on the XR, & NOT just because it has ONLY ONE Back Camera.

It has ONLY ~2.8 GB of physical DRAM, with ALOT less than that available to camera apps !

That significantly limits what can be done with it.
