Video Tape Camera

Video Tape brings the simple rhythm of a camcorder to your iPhone. Start recording, stop, and start again. Each clip joins the same tape, so your movie comes together as you film.

Create named tapes for trips, weekends, projects, or everyday moments. Switch between them and pick up where you left off.

Make travel dailies: start a tape each morning and capture 1–3 second moments throughout the day. That evening, save the finished video to Photos and watch the day’s footage together with family or friends.

• Record in HD or 4K, with supported 24, 30, and 60 fps options for your camera.
• Move smoothly between zoom levels with a camcorder-style power zoom.
• Use the front or rear camera, with focus and exposure controls.
• Record native 16:9 landscape or 9:16 portrait, or choose a classic 4:3 frame, with an optional timestamp.
• Preview, trim, remove, and reorder clips when you want to make an adjustment.
• Import videos from Photos into your tape.
• Share a finished tape as one video, or save it to Photos through the share sheet.

Your tapes are stored on your iPhone. No account is required, and there is nothing to buy.

Capture options depend on your iPhone and the selected camera.
