Full description

Tapee is a retro video camera app that records straight from your camera with an authentic analog tape look: warm faded colors, grain, tracking glitches and color drops, just like the home movies of the 80s and 90s. Effects are applied live to the camera, so what you see is what you record. No editing required.
