CollabraCam: Collaborative Mobile Multicam Video Production

       iOS Universal

Macworld 2011 App Gem Awards: Top Photography App of 2011! CollabraCam was also nominated for Best Use of Mobile Video and selected as an Official Honoree for Best Use of Device Camera in the 15th Annual Webby Awards.

IMPORTANT! This update is not compatible with previous versions of CollabraCam. All users must download this update before starting a session.

CollabraCam is the world's first multicam video production iPhone app with live editing and director-to-camera communication.

CollabraCam provides a quick, easy and fun way to shoot and simultaneously edit live video from multiple cameras using iPhones, iPod Touches and iPad 2. CollabraCam links iOS devices running the app over local Wi-Fi to create a video switcher and communication control room with a simple, yet powerful, live video editing workflow.

You and your crew will produce exciting, dynamic videos with minimal post-production. As the director, you can view, record and edit from up to four live-streaming iOS cameras in real-time while also having the ability to silently cue the camera operators to perform pan, track, dolly or tilt camera moves or request a high or low angle.

Video clips are recorded and saved to the cameras and transferred to the director at the end of a session. When the director calls it a wrap and saves the session, the clips are transferred from the cameras and assembled in a matter of minutes!

The assembled movie can be viewed in the app and exported to your Camera Roll in three sizes. Video clips can be exported to your Camera Roll to edit in a video editing app or saved via File Sharing in iTunes to edit on your computer … or if you’ve exported clips to your Camera Roll but not had a chance to edit in an app yet, then open iMovie on your computer, plug in your device and it will automatically ask to download the clips! With minimal time and effort, you can assemble clips, add transitions and music to complete your movie's final cut.

CollabraCam on the go with a corded or battery-powered wireless router, an ad-hoc (computer-to-computer) wireless network on a laptop, a mobile HotSpot device or with iPhone HotSpot*. An internet connection is not required for any of these solutions to broadcast a Wi-Fi network for use with CollabraCam.

CollabraCam is for real-life collaborative storytelling and makes video production a social experience. Download CollabraCam, assemble your crew and start your first production today!

*With HotSpot for iPhone, the director device should be the HotSpot.
