Can you record vertical and horizontal video at once?
Yes, on iPhone, with an app that saves two crops of one take. DualTake saves a 9:16 vertical file and a 16:9 horizontal file together. The trade-off is framing: both crops come from the same sensor image, so keep your subject centered and leave room at the sides.

Tips
- Keep the subject in the middle third.
- Leave headroom and side space, since the horizontal crop is wider.
