Trail in REC: questions
How do I get the Trail look on iPhone video?
Open REC, pick Trail from the camera strip and press record. The look runs live in the viewfinder at 15 frames per second, so what you frame is what you get. You can also import a video you already shot and develop it through Trail.
Does the Trail camera change the sound?
Yes. Wind through a pinhole in a weatherproof box: mono, 250 Hz to 4.5 kHz.
Is Trail free in REC?
Every camera, Trail included, is in the free download, and your first take is free. Unlimited takes need REC Pro ($9.99 a year or $2.99 a week, US prices).
