PresentCam is an iPhone app for recording explainer and courseware videos — import a PDF or images (or start blank), record yourself with a floating camera bubble over the slides while reading a built-in teleprompter, switch the camera shape and layout at preview time, and export a single composited MP4. The free tier covers everyday recording; PresentCam Pro removes the watermark and length cap and unlocks 2K/4K export.
What it does
Create a project, add your slides (PDF pages, images, or a blank canvas), and write or paste your script into the teleprompter. While you record, your front or back camera appears as a floating bubble over the slides and the teleprompter scrolls your script at eye level — so you keep eye contact with the lens. After recording, switch the camera bubble's shape (rounded rectangle, circle, and more), size, and position live in the preview without re-recording. When it looks right, export one finished video.
Core workflow
- Slides first — import a PDF or pick images, or start from a blank canvas.
- Teleprompter — set font size, color, and scroll speed; the script stays at the top of the screen for natural eye contact.
- Floating camera bubble — front or back camera rendered over the slides while you present.
- Annotation — pen, highlighter, and laser tools to mark up slides as you talk.
- Live preview shaping — change the camera bubble's shape, corner, and position at view time, instantly.
- One-tap export — bake everything into a single MP4 and save it to Photos.
Why it's different
Most recording apps bake the camera layout into the recording, so changing your mind means re-shooting. PresentCam records a camera-only track and applies the portrait shape and layout at view time (instant switching), then bakes the final pixels once at export. You shape the video after recording, not before.
Built for privacy
PresentCam is local-first: no account, no ads, no analytics or tracking SDKs, and no collection of personal information. Projects, clips, settings, and scripts stay on your device, and exports are saved to your own Photos library. It is bilingual (English and Simplified Chinese) and works in light and dark appearance.
PresentCam Pro
The free tier lets you record, shape, and export at up to 1080p with a 60-minute cap and a small watermark. PresentCam Pro unlocks:
- No watermark — clean, branded exports.
- Unlimited recording length — record long lectures and courses without stopping.
- 2K / 4K export — higher-resolution output for crisp courseware.
