How to make a reaction video on iPhone, in one take
Film what you are watching and your reaction at the same time, with a picture-in-picture window or a split screen. No editing needed.
By the Dualsy team ·
A reaction video is two pictures: the thing and the face. The usual way is to film both and stack them in an editor. With both iPhone cameras rolling together, the layout is recorded as you see it.
Step by step
Switch to FRONT + BACK
The back camera films what you react to, the front camera films you.
Choose the look
A circle window in the corner is the classic reaction look. A split screen gives both sides equal weight.
Record
Press the shutter and react. The window is part of the recording, nothing to line up later.
Window shapes
Circle, square or star for the small window.
Split screen
Top and bottom, side by side, or diagonal.
Tips
- Light your face from the front; the screen glow alone is rarely enough.
- Put the window where the action is not.
- If you talk to camera, add your key points to the teleprompter.
