About this app

Old Video Camera turns your phone into an 80s camcorder. The soft, wobbly look of a worn tape is applied while you record, so the file you save is already finished. There is nothing to edit afterwards.

A CAMERA, NOT AN EDITOR
- The retro look is written into the video as you shoot, not added later
- Five aspect ratios: 4:3, 3:4, 1:1, 16:9, 9:16 - switched with a button
- Front and rear camera, plus a T/W zoom rocker like the old decks had
- No account, no sign-up, works offline

THE ANALOG LOOK
- Colors bleed sideways, the way magnetic tape handled color
- Scan lines drift, a tracking band rolls slowly, the bottom edge tears
- Grain sits in the picture instead of a clean digital image
- Audio takes on the narrow, wavering tone of a linear tape track

DATE STAMP AND READOUTS
- Burn the date into the video, with the time or without it
- Camcorder style REC dot, battery and zoom bar in the viewfinder
- Every control answers with an old mechanical click

PRIVACY
Your video and audio are processed on your device. Nothing is uploaded. Your recording never leaves the phone unless you save it to your own gallery.

Free with ads. A one-time purchase removes the ad shown after recording. Every camera feature is free.
