Recording

Recording a video in Veescope Live is easy. You can either record in real-time or non-realtime. Realtime keying means that the keyed effect is applied directly to the video as you are recording. Non-realtime means that the keying effect is applied once recording has stopped. The advantage of non-realtime recording is that you will have the original video with the keyed effect saved to your camera roll. This allows you to use Final Cut Pro or iMovie to create the final key.

To record the video, switch to the "Recording" tab.

Press the recording button.

The recording button will switch to a stop button.

To stop recording press the "Stop" button and it will temporarily switch to a locked button. Veescope Live is writing the video to your Photo Library.

When Veescope Live is ready to record again, the locked button will switch back to a record button. The recorded video will appear in your Photo Library. To review the movie you just recorded, press the "Review" button next to the record button.
