Connecting your iPhone, other camera’s and microphones to upgrade your video quality.

Setting up a project

You start with creating and setting up your scenes. Per scene, you determine what it should show by hovering over the canvas and selecting what you want to add. A camera, screen share, image, or text. Or all of these, you decide.

Select your audio source

You can use any audio interface or microphone with Detail. Just make sure it's connected to your Mac and then click the little dropdown at the bottom right of the app window to select the audio input source you want to use.

Connect your iPhone to use as a camera

To connect your iPhone (or iPad) camera, you'll need to install the Detail USB Camera app for iOS. To get the best image quality and stability, connect your iPhone or iPad to your Mac via USB. When the app is connected to your Mac the camera will be visible in the camera drawer.

Mount your camera and/or iPhone

You can mount your phone using various stands and monitor clips. We prefer microphone stands with a phone mount as it is super customizable.

Recording Scenes

To record the scenes you created, simply press the record button. The nice thing is that all scenes are recorded so you never miss a moment.

Horizontal and vertical video

In the very top-left of the app, you find a toggle that lets switch between horizontal and vertical video. When you are in ‘vertical mode’ the export orientation will also be vertical, so ready to go for mobile.

Create scene layouts with combo scenes

Combo Scenes allow you to show multiple scenes in one frame. Perfect for podcasts, reviews and presentations. You can choose from multiple layouts and backgrounds.

Sharing your screen

Hover over the canvas and select ‘Screen’. Now you can select any full display or window that you want to place in your scene.

Edit your video

Once you recorded your scenes you can edit the timeline. Make cuts (’x’)and remove parts you don’t need and replace scenes whenever you want. If the scene was present during recording it is available.

Add text & overlays

Add text and images to your video by adding overlays to your scenes. Hover over the canvas, select text or image, and you are good to go. Once added there are many settings to tweak the appearance.

Upload your video right from the app for the best way to share your video via a web link.

Once you have exported a video you can upload it from the Library. The online video is easy to share.
