    IF YOU CAN'T MAKE THE CAMERA LANDSCAPE
    1. Open iMessage on your iPhone
    2. Open any chat and click the camera button. Now you can make it landscape

    To get a pro mic (mixer etc.) into the video, you just need to connect an audio interface into your computer. Then choose the audio interface in QuickTime from the drop down box.

    • @TSTechGear
      @TSTechGear  6 лет назад +8

      it will only be horisontal if the app you are using is horisontal on the iphone. when I have the camera app, and tip it horisontal while the cable is connected, the image goes horisontal there too. 💚

    • @thatgirljess257
      @thatgirljess257 6 лет назад +5

    • @BeautyRepublicUnited
      @BeautyRepublicUnited 6 лет назад +2

      ThatGirlJess I figured it out. You need an app that turns the screen horizontal. The camera on the phone doesn’t do it. So I bought filmic pro and it works like a charm. It’s only $15

    • @thatgirljess257
      @thatgirljess257 6 лет назад

    • @BeautyRepublicUnited
      @BeautyRepublicUnited 6 лет назад +2

      ThatGirlJess I open the app then open QuickTime on my Mac and as soon as you open QuickTime is gonna ask you if you want to record a new “movie” or you want to mirror you iPhone. Keep in mind that my iPhone is connected to my Mac when I do this. It’s a little confusing but it works. I like that it connected cause there isn’t any lag.

    • @idapipe
      @idapipe 4 года назад +1

      We have the newer iPhone, I just found out after hours of research the newer iPhone doesn't rotate when they are on the home screen or with the camera but if you do texts or safari, it will rotate. If it doesn't after that, try going to the menu on the top right pressing down, and uncheck Portrait Orientation Lock. This locks the orientation in all the apps but again, once you unlock it, it will only work with certain functions like texts or safari :/

    • @MattDeckard
      @MattDeckard 4 года назад +1

      IdaP the camera app rotates, and it shoots and saves the images in portrait mode. The problem is, the iPhone x and anything after no longer support the Camera app’s ability to go into portrait mode, but quick time will accept other apps that go into portrait.

    • @idapipe
      @idapipe 4 года назад

      Yes, I meant doesn’t rotate when is used with QuickTime player. About the apps is also true but you need to purchase these apps and they can be pricey, there’s not an option for free. I heard Horizon App but it’s doesn’t work with QuickTime player

I tried that Horizon App but if you are trying to use the iPhone/Mac connection as a viewfinder because you are a RUclipsr, it won't work through QuickTime Player, it will turn black. The only option is using the front camera but the camera is not as good as the one in the back and it will be hard looking at the camera since is so tiny

      Luxielove notice the little white bar indicating the bottom of your screen. If you turn your phone horizontally the new camera app will only rotate the controls but not that bar. This means that for some reason the app is still in portrait mode but recording in landscape mode. Such a mess..
