Wave goodbye to horrible portrait-mode phone video

Inspiration
By published

If you can't trust yourself to turn your iPhone horizontal when you shoot video on it, maybe you should take a look at Horizon.

If there's one thing that we, as a species, can all agree on, surely it's that video shot in portrait mode on your phone is an utter abomination. It's all too easy to record it by accident, because that's the way you tend to hold your phone, and the results always look completely awful, especially if you then put them on YouTube and they're enhanced by dirty great black bars on either side.

Assuming you feel as strongly about this important issue as we do, you might want to take a look at Horizon. It's a video recording app for iOS that promises: no more vertical videos. It enables you to shoot at any angle you like and get lovely landscape footage out the other end.
