01 How it works
Four steps from phones to a finished cut.
Keep scrolling — the steps move sideways
02/ 04
Arm & frame.
Every assigned camera streams live to your laptop over the LAN. Frame each angle in the grid before you commit to record.
03/ 04
Record losslessly.
Every angle records copy-only — no re-encoding. Near-zero CPU on the laptop; the phones do the work.
04/ 04
Cut in post.
Press 1–9 to mark the program take while you record. Export the edit as one MP4, or keep the per-angle masters.
02 Why not just use…
The honest comparison.
Multicam shoots have lived in $300 hardware or $24/mo SaaS. Neither uses the cameras you already own. Here's what changes.
