Dual camera for interviews: both faces, one phone
A filmed interview normally needs two cameras or accepts one face. Dual capture gets both from the phone between you: the subject on the back camera, the interviewer on the front — recorded simultaneously with one audio track, so nods, follow-ups and shared laughs stay in sync.
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
- Street interviews / vox pops: the answer and your reaction, one take, post-ready.
- Podcast-style sit-downs: prop the phone between you — subject big, host in the corner.
- Family history: interview grandparents; the corner window quietly keeps you in the archive too.
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.
