Dual CameraUse cases
Two cameras, set up for what you are actually making.
The right mode, frame and orientation are different for a reaction clip and an interview. Each page below commits to one setup and explains why that one and not another.
Reaction videos
The reaction is the content, so stop putting it in a thumbnail-sized box. Sizing, timing and the sync problem.

Vlogging & travel
Stop flipping the camera. Keeping the scene and your reaction in one frame, without the vlog looking like a video call.

Interviews & podcasts
Both people in frame, no second camera and no cuts. Weighting the split, seating, and the audio problem nobody solves with a phone.

Property tours
The space is the product and you are the trust signal. A small inset, landscape, and why walking backwards is the whole skill.

TikTok
The safe zone is the whole game. Where TikTok's interface sits, and why a diagonal split stops the scroll.

YouTube Shorts
Compression eats soft edges and Shorts crops differently everywhere. A hard-edged inset, kept well inside the frame.
