Photos and the camera

Add a photo or video

Errands, scout items, locations and chat messages each have a camera button. Tap it and the camera opens. It stays open, so you can take as many shots as you need.

1. Pick Photo or Video.
2. Flip to the front camera, or tap a lens button like 0.5× or 2×. You only see the lenses your phone has.
3. Each shot drops into the strip at the bottom. Tap one to look at it or delete it.
4. Library adds up to 10 photos or videos you already have.
5. Done adds them all.

A video clip can run up to 3 minutes. It stops by itself at 3:00.

In a chat, all the shots go out in one message. On an errand, scout item or location, they upload one at a time, and each shows its progress. If one fails, tap Retry on it. The rest keep going.

In Scouting and Locations, each shot keeps the spot where you took it.

The shots stay with the thing you added them to. They also show up on the project’s Media tab. The office plays videos in the browser from a smaller copy the server makes.

The camera can’t open while you stream to Video Village. Stop the stream first, or pick from Library.

Camera

Tap Camera on the home screen. The camera works for the production you are signed in to. There is no extra code to scan. The screen stays on while the camera is open.

1. Pick a mode at the top: record (the label reads REC and the take number), stream (LIVE) or OFF.
2. Use the buttons to flip the camera, turn on the torch, change the frame shape, or pick a shot from the shot list.
3. In stream mode, the office watches on the project’s Video Village tab. It can also ask for a full-quality upload of a take.

Video Village needs a Pro plan. On a project without it, the camera says Video Village isn’t available on this project.
