How to Use

1. Choose Live Monitor or Post for photos and videos.
2. Select your anamorphic desqueeze ratio and framing.
3. Set f-stop on supported iOS 26 devices, zoom, ISO / exposure, and color look.
4. Monitor with waveform, zebras, false color, focus peaking, histogram, and 2.39:1 guides.
5. Record with your chosen framing, exposure, cinematic depth, and color.
6. Export to Photos, Files, or FCPXML.

For batch workflows, import clips, set ratio and codec, then export individually or merge into one timeline with correct CinemaScope geometry.

Built for a Faster Filmmaking Workflow
Frame anamorphic shots correctly while shooting, monitor exposure and focus, set cinematic depth, zoom, ISO, and color, then carry those creative decisions through to export.

Spend less time fixing squeezed footage later and reduce the gap between what you monitor on set and what appears in the final movie.

Ideal for cinematographers and DOPs, independent filmmakers, short film and commercial teams, 2.39:1 creators, film schools, studios, and rental houses.
