during actual recording, but this is still a convenient
way to double-check framing before the cameras roll.
If the first attempt wasn’t the award-winning
performance you were hoping for, simply tap the TAKE-
1 button to shoot up to four more takes; you can also
delete the current take by tapping the one already
used. Once finished, tap the Editor button, which will
wirelessly transfer footage saved on the slave devices
back to the master, then create a new project with
everything synced and ready to edit.
It’s worth noting that you’ll need to enable Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth and AirDrop on
each device prior to launching
4XCamera Maker. I had no
problems connecting, shooting,
or transferring footage, and
acquiring our test footage worked
as expected, although the overall
user interface isn’t particularly
intuitive. Thankfully a help option
is just a tap away, complete with
pop-up tool tips that explain
what each button does.
4XCamera Maker doesn’t offer
much in the way of settings
outside of fade in/out control
and the ability to save projects
