Dualora - Record in both 16:9 and 9:16 at the same time

Multi-platform creators have a broken workflow: record landscape for YouTube, flip the phone, record again for Shorts. Or record once and spend 20 minutes cropping a second version that still looks off. Dualora fixes this at capture time — not in post. Open the app and you see both 16:9 and 9:16 framing live on screen while you shoot — Split View or Picture-in-Picture. Hit record. Export two files. Upload to two platforms. Done. No guessing. No re-shooting. No desktop detour. No Account.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Alik — indie dev from India. I built Dualora because I was tired of recording every video twice: once horizontal for YouTube, once vertical for Shorts. And cropping in post never works — you only find out you framed it wrong after you've already shot. So I built an app that shows you both 16:9 and 9:16 live while you shoot. Record once. Export both. Done. Everything processes on your phone — no cloud upload, no account, If you create for YouTube AND Shorts/Reels/TikTok or any kind of content— try one session and tell me if you'd ever go back to recording twice. Would love your honest feedback, bugs included. 🙏

Firework did this more than 10 years ago. It didn’t take off. Perhaps it’ll be different this time.

A lot has changed in a decade especially the rise of short-form vertical platforms alongside traditional horizontal ones. It's a genuine workflow problem for modern creators who are tired of recording things twice or losing framing while cropping in post. Dualora is built specifically for today's multi-platform ecosystem, and I'm excited to see how creators use it!

I like that Dualora fixes this while recording, not after. Seeing both 16:9 and 9:16 live on screen feels much more practical than guessing and hoping the crop will work later.

Curious if you plan to add safe-zone guides for captions, UI overlays, or platform-specific crops in the future?

@andrasczeizel TThanks so much for checking out Dualora! That's exactly why we built it—trying to guess the framing and hoping the crop works out in post-production is a massive headache for creators.

Your suggestion about adding safe-zone guides for captions, platform UI overlays, and specific crops is fantastic and highly practical. I am definitely adding that to our roadmap for future updates. Thanks for the valuable feedback!

As a content creator this definitely caught my eye. It truly is a struggle finding a way to use landscape video as short form content as well. I can't wait to try this one out!

@aditi37 Thanks, looking forward to you valuable feedback

This solves a real pain for creators — recording once and getting both formats natively is way better than cropping after the fact. The quality always suffers when you crop.

Does it split the feeds in post or actually record two separate video files simultaneously?

alik ghosh

@doganakbulutThanks for the appreciation
To answer your question: because we are focusing heavily on Android, performance stability during recording is our top priority. Rendering two high-resolution video streams simultaneously can heavily tax a phone's hardware and risk dropped frames.

Instead, Dualora captures the raw feed efficiently and then uses a queue to render out the two separate, native video files right after you finish recording. This ensures your phone stays cool and your recording remains perfectly smooth!

Finally, something where you don't have to go through seven circles of hell just to sign up!

@jackdonovan Haha, thank you! We absolutely hate jumping through hoops just to try an app, so we wanted to make the entry as seamless and friction-free as possible. Great to hear that it stood out to you!

Why didn't i know Your app during recording my tutorials :( I did double job.

@stormsister we’re just glad you found us. Better late than doing double shifts ever again!

Awesome work! Does the portrait capture intelligently follow a subject? For people who aren't directly in the middle of their landscape shot it would be super useful to be able to reframe the portrait shot ◡̈

alik ghosh

@oscardog Thank you! That is an incredibly smart feature idea.

Right now, the feature isn't there yet the portrait crop is centered. However, allowing creators to dynamically reframe the portrait shot or track a subject out-of-center is a fantastic use case that we are absolutely adding to our future product roadmap.

Thanks for helping us shape where Dualora goes next!
