4XCamera Maker offers multi-
camera split-screen editing
with transitions, but the user
interface isn’t exactly intuitiveaudio from up to four iPhone or iPad devices at once,
then assemble them while keeping everything in sync.
Shooting is pretty straightforward thanks to an
on-screen launch guide that walks users through
the procedure. Place devices at the desired angles,
selecting one to act as the master, which is also where
you’ll later edit the project. (Tripods or mounts are
recommended for best results, but you can shoot
handheld too, assuming you have enough people
to operate those cameras.) Launch the app on each
device (it’s free to install and shoot without limitations),
then tap Link on the master to
connect each device. Tap record
on the designated master, and
all slave devices start recording
at the same time.
Prior to shooting, you can
take a quick peek at the live
image coming into each of
your connected devices by
tapping Link Preview from the
master camera. Sadly, 4XCamera
