Skald — Multi-Cam Recording

Skald turns the iPhones and iPads you already own into a synchronized multi-camera recording rig. Set up in minutes, press record, play your set — and walk away with one finished multi-cam video. No timeline editing, no syncing clips by hand, no cloud. Built for musicians recording themselves: rehearsals, live gigs, music videos, recitals. Solo artists to full bands. HOW IT WORKS • Skald runs on your iPad (or iPhone) as the controller • The free companion app Skald Cam runs on up to four other iPhones or iPads — each one a camera angle • Everything connects over your own Wi-Fi or an iPhone hotspot. Each camera pairs in seconds — Skald Cam finds Skald automatically • Skald mixes the angles live and records one synchronized 1080p video LIVE MIX MODES • Split — all cameras in a grid • Democratic — switches automatically between cameras in a predefined pattern • Spotlight — keeps the focus on one performer, with the others rotating in • Manual — you direct the mix Real-time clock sync keeps every angle locked together. AUDIO THAT TAKES CARE OF ITSELF • Plug in a USB audio interface for professional stereo sound, or record from any camera's mic • Rank your sources in a priority list — Skald records from the one you want and fails over automatically if it drops out mid-take • Optional loudness normalization with YouTube, Apple Music, and broadcast presets — off by default so your raw levels stay untouched MADE FOR SETS, NOT CLIPS • Plan a setlist and roll through it song by song • Start recording with a tap — or let Skald start when the music does • Drop markers at the moments worth finding again • Automatic intro titles rendered into each recording — if you want them WANT TO EDIT IT YOURSELF? • Turn on multi-file recording and every camera is also saved as its own full-frame 1080p file — frame-aligned with the mix, no manual syncing • Editor import files (OpenTimelineIO + Final Cut Pro 7 XML) land next to the videos: open in DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro and every angle sits on its own track, master audio included • Share a whole recording — all angles plus import files — in one go YOUR RECORDINGS STAY YOURS No accounts. No analytics. No cloud. Video never leaves your devices — recordings land on the controller, organized per project, fully accessible in the Files app for backup and export.
