App turns smartphones into a 'multi-camera studio' - KRLD NewsOur App for Tuesday is called Double Take. It's able to take your phone and turn it into a multi-camera studio. The app can shoot video from different cameras on the phone and lets you switch from camera to camera to form a video with different views. The app shows all the pictures that are available from your point of view. If you're doing an interview with someone else, you put the camera in the middle and you can see both people in the video. It comes with a picture-in-picture function that you can move around on your screen. You can also do a split screen, using two of the shots at the same time.
