Update for 7 AM (California-time) Tuesday, September 21st, 2021 Two things to announce: 1.) Photosets v9.0 was Approved earlier today, & is now Available for Download ! We encourage everyone to begin using it ASAP. It represents App Approval #300 for Photosets ! And BTW, it is Ready to Go for the 13 mini, 13, 13 Pro, & 13 Pro Max, which will ALL be Offically Released on Friday ! 2.) We're gonna pivot slightly with our R&D plans from what we announced yesterday. Rather than add it as a Capture Option, we're gonna add ProRes Video support into
Photosets' short-scene Burst Video Maker. -----
Update for 9 PM (California-time) Monday, September 20th, 2021 FYI, v9.0 is yesterday's news for us, we're now Fast Tracking v9.1, with support for crafting ProRes 422 Videos from UN-compressed photos during capture ! As a reminder, OR for those who are UN-aware, at one time, years ago, Photosets had offered support for optionally (also) crafting Rec.709 Videos during capture. After six months OR so, we concluded that the iPhones of the time simply didn't have the necessary Performance. So, we disabled the feature, & as we always do whenever we disable a feature, we kept the code in the app. So now, it's just a matter of adapting the code to support ProRes 422. Make NO mistake, it is a NON-trivial technical task. However, we do know precisely what needs to be done. OK, so who benefits most ? Anyone working in Video Production ! Both Amateurs & Pros ! -----

Why Photosets ? Because, it will Significantly Raise your Knowledge of both Photos & Videos ! And since Knowledge is Power, you'll become a more-Powerful Photo & Video expert. Simply put, you'll know Important Things that most others don't. As such, you'll be able to produce Content that most others can't ! Simply because of their Lack of Knowledge of what's possible. Photos on one side, Videos on the other side, Photosets right (smack) in the middle ! Off the Radar of most, but should NOT be ! -----
FYI, point #1, every single Technical Member of Cosmosent Labs, Inc., a California C Corp, has a bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, & had 10+ years of Chip Design & Verification experience PRIOR to transitioning into App Dev in early-Sept of 2014. It is the Backgrounds & Perseverance of the App Dev Team that has made Photosets what it is today ! Which is what precisely ? A rare, true UN-Discovered Gem (Burst Photo Camera) App ! And, the first on the planet with an integrated short-scene Video Maker ! A combination of which NO other Company OR App Developer offers you ! Ok, but what's the benefit ? It enables anybody to make innovative short-scene Videos, up-to two minutes in duration, with up-to "60" independent Video Scenes, where each scene is crafted from a High-Quality Burst Photo Set, captured by Photosets with High-Precision ! And, the app's recently-perfected Concurrent Audio Capture & All-important A/V Synchronizer adds an extremely special twist ! Is this typical for a Burst Photo Camera App ? NO, it's NOT ! We have NO competition in what we offer ! Our new Marketing Slogan describes it best: Photosets for Video Production -----
FYI, point #2, we've Overshot "The Audience" of the iOS App Store by a Wide Margin ! And here, we're strictly referring to the Features & Capabilities of Photosets' Premium User IAP. Wasn't intentional & wasn't our fault. Apple simply didn't do their part ! -----

Privacy Policy Terms of Use -----
Our Proposed New Law
for Apple's iOS App Store We are in favor of New Law that would require Apple to disclose per-Category Revenue Numbers for (at least) the iOS App Store here in the States, & require them to do so at the end of each work week. Also, that the per-week per-Category Reports should include what percentage was generated by the Top 10 Apps in each category, as well as what percentage of apps in each category generated NO revenue. So, three columns of data per Category, reported by Apple every week. -----

Multi View Capture ● MVC supports (1) Master + up-to (3) Slaves per MVC session. ● Each MVC Slave streams their Camera's Live Preview to the MVC Master. ● The MVC Master controls the Camera Shutter on ALL participants in the MVC session. ● As a reminder, MVC is strictly ONE Camera View per iPhone. ● Photosets TV, our FREE macOS app, is currently the ONLY supported MVC Master.
