Record a lesson once, for the phone and the projector

If your lesson has to work on a student's phone (vertical 9:16) and on a classroom projector or course page (widescreen 16:9), PostReady Dual Recorder Camera records it once and saves both files at the same time. You teach the lesson a single time and walk away with a vertical version and a wide version, no re-recording for the second surface.

The educator's real problem: two surfaces, one explanation

A creator's pain is platform reach. A teacher's pain is different, it's delivery surface. The same five-minute concept might need to:

• play full-screen on a student's phone as a vertical 9:16 clip in a feed or a messaging app, and
• project clean and wide as 16:9 on a classroom wall, or embed into an LMS / slide deck / course page.

Reshooting the explanation for each surface means you teach it twice and risk saying it slightly differently each time. Cropping one master into the other shape after the fact usually clips a diagram, a whiteboard edge, or your hands. PostReady lets you commit the framing for both at capture, so the lesson is identical across both files.

How to frame a lesson for both crops

With the two live guides on screen at once:

1. Keep the teaching content, your face, a held object, a small whiteboard, inside the narrower 9:16 guide so nothing important is lost on phones.
2. Make sure the wider 16:9 guide isn't catching distractions on the sides (a half-open door, clutter, another screen).
3. Record once. Both crops save to Photos with audio.

Creator Presets help you set up fast

PostReady includes Creator Presets that configure the camera for a type of video, including Talking Head and Tutorial (also Product Demo). For a teacher, the Talking Head or Tutorial preset gets the camera into a sensible configuration for that kind of recording so you're not fiddling with settings before every lesson. On Pro you can save and recall your own preset, which is handy if you record the same lesson format repeatedly.

Be clear about what PostReady is NOT for teaching

This is a capture tool, and I keep its scope narrow on purpose. PostReady does not include:

• a teleprompter or script reader,
• captions or subtitles,
• trimming, editing, or annotation,
• in-app sharing to an LMS.

So if your lesson needs captions for accessibility, a script on screen, or edited chapters, you'll still do that in your existing tools. PostReady's job is to get you two correctly-framed source files from one take; the teaching polish happens elsewhere. I'd rather you know that going in than discover it mid-prep.

One more honest note: the live crop guides are framing aids, not a pixel-exact preview of the saved files, leave a little margin around diagrams and edges.

Free is enough for short lessons

Many micro-lessons fit the free tier: 1080p30 dual output, audio, no watermark, clips up to 1 minute each. Longer lectures need Pro, which removes the 1-minute cap and adds 4K, 60 fps, and HEVC. Pro is Monthly, Yearly (with optional 7-day free trial for new subscribers), or Lifetime; pricing is shown in the app and set by Apple in local currency; subscription auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; cancel any time in iPhone Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
