Dual camera at concerts: the stage and your reaction
Concert videos capture the stage but lose the part you actually want to remember — what it felt like. Dual video records the stage on the back camera and your reaction on the front camera at the same time, with the audio of the moment.
Short answer: Selfie shoots photos and videos with the front and back cameras at the same time, picture-in-picture, with 50+ vintage camera presets that apply to both. One tap captures both perspectives — no stitching, no second take.
Ideas that work
- The drop: film the stage, and let the front camera catch your face when the song hits.
- With friends: flip the layout — faces big, stage in the corner window.
- Vintage version: shoot it through the VHS preset and it looks like a bootleg camcorder tape from 1995.
How to set it up
- Open Selfie in Dual mode (the default).
- Drag the picture-in-picture window to the corner you want, and pick a frame color if you like.
- Optionally pick a camera preset — 35mm film, instant, VHS and 50+ more render live on both cameras.
- Tap the shutter for a photo, or switch to video mode and record with sound.
Frequently asked questions
Are the two views taken at exactly the same time? Yes. Selfie runs both cameras in one capture session using Apple’s multi-cam engine, so front and back are exposed simultaneously — not one after the other.
Can I record video this way? Yes — dual video records both cameras at once, with microphone audio.
Can I choose which camera is the big view? Yes, and the small window can sit in any corner, with a choice of frame colors.
What does it cost? Selfie is free to download and try. The Pro subscription (weekly or annual) unlocks unlimited dual-camera shots and all premium presets.
