Turn movement into light.
Pulse is a video-only effects camera that transforms motion into live echoes, trails, clones, flashes, and tunnels.
See every effect while you shoot, then trim, save, or share the result in seconds.
NEW IN PULSE 1.2
- Mercury turns skin into liquid metal that reflects the room
- Opal lays soap-film color across the picture in pastel bands
- Star Flare throws a long anamorphic streak off every highlight
- Etched puts the lights out and keeps only the outlines, cut into dark glass
- Projection finds you with a cold projector and dims everything else
25 LIVE EFFECTS
- Light Echo and Motion Trail leave movement hanging in the frame
- Rainbow Trail paints movement with rainbow light, and Time Stack leaves a row of afterimages
- Neon Clone and Shadow Double split you into bold afterimages
- Prism Delay and RGB Whip pull color channels through time
- Neon Trace draws glowing outlines that slowly fade
- Beat Strobe, Freeze Flash, Scan Pulse, and Solar Burn add rhythmic impact
- Datamosh and VHS Rewind break the frame into glitch blocks and tape wobble
- Feedback Tunnel, Kaleido Beat, Vortex Trail, Liquid Echo, and Slit Drift reshape the live frame
- Mercury, Opal, Star Flare, Etched, and Projection work the surface itself
STUDIO LIGHT AND DUAL CAM
- Studio Light turns the edge of your screen into a neon light that lights your face in the dark. Six colors, three power levels, and the camera preview stays full screen.
- Dual Cam records with the front and back cameras at once, picture-in-picture or split screen, with your effect on both.
BUILT FOR VIDEO
- Swipe left or right on the camera preview to change effects
- Open the Effect Deck to see all 25 looks at once
- Adjust effect intensity with one direct signal control
- Switch between front and rear cameras, or use both at once with Dual Cam
- The controls fold away while you record, so the frame stays clear
- Record clips with sound, or silent clips when microphone access is off
FINISH AND SHARE
- Trim a recording to the moment you want
- Preview at 0.5x, 1x, or 2x speed
- Save to Photos or use the standard iOS share sheet
- Send a video directly to Instagram Stories when Instagram is installed
PULSE PRO
Studio Light and Dual Cam are included for everyone. Light Echo, Motion Trail, and Beat Strobe are free to export. Everyone can preview, tune, record, and edit all 25 effects; exporting a clip made with any of the other 22 effects requires Pulse Pro. Free recordings can be up to 8 seconds and exported videos include a Pulse watermark.
Pulse Pro unlocks export for 22 Pro effects, extends recordings to 15 seconds, and removes the Pulse watermark from exports.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account subscription settings.
YOUR VIDEO STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE
