has NO limit WRT the number of video scenes per Video. Actual limit determined by the size of NAND Flash Storage. And whether the iPhone starts to over-heat. If it does, iOS will throttle things down. And may even Force Quit the app. (2) Photosets' 8-bit Video Maker
supports up-to "60" video scenes per Video. -----

(1) Post-Capture. (2) During capture. (3) Supports up-to "3" MVC slaves. (4) Supports "1" MVC slave. For this case, the iPad's Camera is under MVC UI control. -----
Operational Overview
● MVC is strictly ONE Camera View per iPhone OR iPad. ● Each MVC slave streams their Camera's Live Preview to the MVC master. Specifically here, it's UN-compressed photo data that is is Live Streamed
from the MVC slave(s) to the MVC master. ● The MVC master controls the Camera Shutter on ALL participants in the MVC session. ● The MVC master also controls select camera controls on ALL participants in the MVC session.

(1) Capture, plus various camera controls. (2) Currently ONLY capture, but we're now working on adding support for everything, & more, that Apple supports with their Final Cut Camera app. (3) ONLY if the Master is an iPad and its Camera is participating in the MVC session. (4) via our companion macOS app for Photosets, Photosets TV/Studio. (5) As you may OR may NOT know, Photosets includes an integrated Short-Form, 60-Scene 8-bit 420 Video Maker. And it includes Rock Solid A/V synch support for the optional concurrently captured Audio data. You can run the Video Maker on an iPhone OR iPad. In the past, we had allowed Photosets' 8-bit 420 60-scene Video Maker to also run on a Mac. And for that case, End Users needed our Photosets TV/Studio macOS app with its custom App Group-based Content Sharing support, to pass photo sets IN & get Videos OUT (of the Mac app).
