Yes — you can record portrait and landscape video at the same time with Shootsolo. Every take is saved in both orientations simultaneously on iPhone and Android, so you film once and post to Reels, TikTok, Shorts and YouTube. No re-filming, no cropping in an editor, and it is completely free.
A dual orientation video recording app is a camera app that saves one take as both a vertical (portrait, 9:16) video and a horizontal (landscape, 16:9) video at the same time. Instead of shooting everything twice — once with the phone upright for short-form feeds and once on its side for YouTube — you record a single performance and walk away with both files. Shootsolo does this on every take, on iPhone and Android, so the version you post to Reels and the version you upload to YouTube come from the exact same moment.
Set up your phone and use the composition grid and safe-zone overlay to keep yourself well placed for both formats.
Say "Start Recording", deliver your content, then say "Stop Recording". You perform it only once.
Say "yes" to save and the take is stored in portrait and landscape — ready for Reels, TikTok, Shorts and YouTube.
Posting everywhere usually means doubling your work: you nail a take in landscape for YouTube, then turn the phone and try to repeat it for the vertical feeds — or you crop it later in an editor, one video at a time. Shootsolo removes that extra work: film once, post everywhere. Record your tip, review, tutorial or talking-head segment one time and both orientations are waiting for you when you finish. If you work from a script, pair it with the built-in teleprompter so the one take you film is the one you keep. After each recording you can review it in the built-in video player, keep or discard it on the spot, and rename the file so your vertical and horizontal versions stay organised.
Yes. Shootsolo saves every take in both portrait and landscape simultaneously, so a single recording gives you a vertical video and a horizontal video. It works on both iPhone and Android.
No. You film once and Shootsolo creates both orientations from the same take. There is no second shoot with the phone rotated and no cropping in an editor later.
Yes. One take gives you a vertical 9:16 video for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, and a horizontal 16:9 video for standard YouTube uploads. You film once and post everywhere.
Yes. Say "Start Recording" to begin and "Stop Recording" to end the take, and use "Pause Recording" and "Resume Recording" in between. Shootsolo then asks whether to save or discard the take — say "yes" or "no".
Yes. Shootsolo is completely free with unlimited recording — no ads, no watermark and no subscription. Portrait and landscape recording is included for everyone.
In HD, both the portrait and the landscape version are saved at full HD resolution. In 4K, the format you hold the phone in is recorded in 4K and the second format is cropped from that recording. A live preview shows how the second format is framed while you film, and it all works offline.
Shoot one take, get portrait and landscape. Available on iPhone and Android.
