01How it works
From vision
to footage.
Five steps. No complicated menus, no guesswork — connect, describe, and start shooting.
Step 1: Connect your camera
Link your camera’s live feed over Wi-Fi so FrameCoach sees exactly what you see. No cables, no capture cards — just connect and shoot.

Tell FrameCoach the look you’re going for. “Painterly and slow” or “crisp, sun-washed, editorial” — speak the way directors do.

02Features
Built for how you actually shoot.
Made by a filmmaker who got tired of losing shots to the wrong settings. Every feature exists because it was needed on set — nothing here is for show.
Natural Language Input
“Cinematic sunset interview” or “clean corporate talking head” — describe what you want in plain English. We handle the rest.
Priority-Ranked Recommendations
Exactly three actions, ranked by impact. No overwhelming settings menus — just the changes that matter most for your creative goal, in order.
Adaptive Coaching Depth
New to exposure? Get step-by-step explanations. Experienced shooter? Get concise technical adjustments. The app learns your skill level.
Skin Tone Protection
Every subject properly exposed, whatever their skin tone. FrameCoach flags when darker skin tones risk losing detail, so everyone in frame is seen as they are.
Shot Matching
Switching angles? Changing locations? We remember your baseline and help you keep every shot consistent across the whole shoot.

Frequently asked questions
Sony, Canon and iPhone today. On Sony, bodies that use the Camera Remote API, such as the A7 III, A7C and A6400; newer models like the A7 IV and FX3 use a different protocol, and support for them is in development. On Canon, bodies with CCAPI, after a quick one-time setup. On iPhone, the built-in cameras on iPhone 15 Pro and later Pro models, with no extra kit. Panasonic, Blackmagic and RED are on the roadmap, and we’re exploring Nikon. See the full supported list.
Tutorials teach the principles; FrameCoach applies them to the shot in front of you. You get camera-aware recommendations in the moment, based on what you’re going for, the constraints you’re working with and the gear in your hands.
Both. If you’re starting out, you get structured guidance and the reasoning behind each recommendation, so you learn as you shoot. If you’ve been doing this for years, you iterate faster and keep your look consistent from setup to setup.
No. FrameCoach helps you make better decisions, faster. It raises the floor for small crews and speeds up experienced teams, but the craft and the creative calls stay yours.
No. FrameCoach works with the kit you already own, including minimal lighting setups, and helps you get the most out of it. On iPhone you don’t even need a separate camera.
Yes, for now. FrameCoach needs a connection to analyse your scene; when you’re linked to a camera over Wi‑Fi, your phone uses mobile data for the analysis. As the technology allows, we plan to move processing on-device so you can work fully offline.
