01 · Dual Camera
Arrange the views around the subject.
Picture-in-picture keeps one camera dominant and places the other inside the frame. Stacked layouts give both views more space. Drag the views into place, adjust the framing and lock the arrangement once it is ready. Think about where the important movement will happen so the smaller view does not cover it.

Check the layout in the orientation you will record.
Portrait and landscape compositions have different amounts of room for each camera. Review the actual layout after rotating the device, then choose the arrangement that fits your subject. A small face view can work well over a wide landscape; a stacked composition can be easier to read when both scenes need equal attention.

Treat the combined picture as a single take.
The camera layout becomes part of the video or timelapse composition. Check each view before capture and keep the phone steady while the take runs. When it is finished, use the editor to trim, frame and add audio to the result. Dual-camera availability depends on the device and the supported camera combination.
