Webcam in REC: questions
How do I get the Webcam look on iPhone video?
Open REC, pick Webcam 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 Webcam.
Does the Webcam camera change the sound?
Yes. A laptop microphone through an early codec: mono, 200 Hz to 6.5 kHz.
Is Webcam free in REC?
Every camera, Webcam 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).
