Record Two Angles for Video Podcasts with One iPhone

April 16, 2025

Recording a professional-looking video podcast normally requires multiple cameras to capture different angles of the host and guest. However, with the Detail app and your iPhone, you can achieve the same multi-angle look using just one device.


Using 0.5X Zoom for Wide Angle Recording

To record both the host and guest in a single frame:

  • Set your iPhone to 0.5X zoom

  • Place it on a tripod at a distance that captures both people

  • Connect an external microphone for better audio quality

  • Start recording in the Detail app

The wide-angle view creates a foundation shot that you can later edit to appear as if you used multiple cameras.


Creating Multiple Angles in Editing

After recording your podcast, Detail's editing features let you create a multi-camera setup:

  • Split the video timeline based on who's speaking

  • Zoom in and crop each split section to focus on individual speakers

  • Switch between these zoomed angles and the original wide shot to maintain visual interest

This technique makes your podcast look like it was filmed with multiple cameras while using just one iPhone.


Save Time with Auto Edit

Detail's AI-powered auto edit feature recognizes who's speaking and automatically switches the camera view:

  • The app detects when different people are talking

  • It applies appropriate camera angles based on the speaker

  • This eliminates hours of manual editing work


Repurpose Content for Social Media

Transform your landscape video podcast into portrait-oriented clips for social platforms:

  1. Go to the aspect settings

  2. Choose portrait option

  3. Select split view from layout options

  4. Zoom in on each person to create focused shots

The result is content that looks professionally filmed but required only one device.


Streamline Your Publishing Workflow

After editing, Detail helps you distribute your podcast efficiently:

  • Export your edited video

  • Use the AI content tab to generate short clips

  • Get AI-generated titles, descriptions, and hashtags

  • Share directly to your preferred platforms
