CollabraCam User Guide

The CollabraCam User Guide was created to help new users learn how to use the app, from start to finish. It’s also great for educators and teachers to help students understand CollabraCam’s easy-to-use, live multicam editing and on-the-fly directing workflow. 


We’ve changed how CollabraCam captures video... this is the update you’ve been waiting for, and we know you’ll love it. Now all cameras record the entire session while an Edit Decision List (EDL) is created during the live edit to record in and out points for the Director's Cut. This change also paved the way for Single Source Audio, which utilizes audio from Camera 1 for the entire session.


Whether you want to cover all the bases at the little league game, produce a You Tube talk show, create a hyperlocal newscast, shoot a music video, capture footage for interview-style documentary, or help students learn cinematography... CollabraCam makes all of this possible by putting a live multicam production studio in the palm of your hands.


You are the director and your friends are your camera crew. From an iPad you can edit live from up to six iOS cameras streaming over Wi-Fi (four cameras on iPhone or iPod touch). Send action cues and direct your camera ops to get the best shots from every angle. When you call it a wrap, the video and audio is collected and the Director’s Cut is assembled, so you can watch or share your movie, minutes after it's shot.


CollabraCam doesn’t use your data plan, so you can use Personal HotSpot to create a local Wi-Fi network to CollabraCam on the go. You can also use a wireless router on location, absolutely no need for an internet connection, plug it in and you're ready to go... or create a computer-to-computer network with a MacBook Pro.


Review the Director’s Cut in the app or export to the Photos app and share from there. Once exported, iCloud Photo Library can automatically upload to iCloud, then you can download with the Photos app on your Mac. Export video clips from the Director’s Cut to Photos and assemble in iMovie for iOS, then add your titles and transitions... or save the Edit Decision List (EDL), video and audio to your Mac and import into Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2017. After import, the Director’s Cut is loaded to the timeline, ready for post. You can also import just video and audio and re-edit with Premiere Pro’s multi-camera editing interface with the Program Monitor.


CollabraCam’s not magic and it's not pushed to the cloud for an algorithm to edit. It's easy-to-use, live multicam editing and on-the-fly directing which makes it unique. CollabraCam makes multicam video production a social experience... in real life.
