The $0.99 app, which hit the App Store Tuesday, eliminates that
wasted black space. Videos shot with the app always appear in landscape
mode, regardless of how the device is held. (However, it won't fix
vertical videos shot in other apps.)
Here's
how it works: Horizon uses your iOS device's gyroscope to automatically
level videos as you shoot. You can choose between a couple of different
leveling modes, which change the size of the frame. If you want to
pretend the floor is a wall, you can also shoot portrait-style and have
it come out as a properly landscaped video.
Videos shot in portrait mode are cropped to appear as if they were
shot in landscape mode (resulting videos are slightly more zoomed-in to
accommodate the crop). The orientation can be changed while filming,
with little effect on the shot. Videos shot in landscape mode remain
unchanged.
The app offers a variety of other options, including nine
Instagram-style filters, as well as settings for shooting in different
resolutions and aspect ratios.
