Describe a set in one sentence, shoot the move with your phone, and HandCam turns it into an AI video that moves exactly like you did. Then it checks.

Why HandCam?

AI video models paint beautifully. They just can’t take direction.

You type “slow handheld push-in” and hope. Then you try again.

HandCam lets you show them the move instead.

A set from one sentence

Type what’s in the shot. You get a grey blockout in seconds: cars, walls and people in the right places, at real-world size. It’s rough on purpose. It only has to tell the AI where things are.

  • Ready in about five seconds
  • Real-world scale, so moves feel right
  • Change it with words, not menus

Shot with your hand.
Kept raw.

Your phone records every turn, wobble and correction sixty times a second. We never smooth it, because that’s what makes it feel real.

Checked, not hoped

We measure the camera in every AI video and compare it with your take. You see the score before you download.

You approve. We do the retakes.

See the first frame before the video is made. We make several versions and keep the one that follows your move most closely. If none does, you see why.

Prompting vs. 3D software vs. HandCam

Prompting alone

  • Describe the move and hope
  • Re-roll until it’s close
  • No way to know if it matched
  • Same words, different shot every time

3D software

  • Weeks to learn
  • Hand-drawn camera paths look on rails
  • Build every set by hand
  • Still need an AI video tool after

HandCam

  • A set from one sentence
  • A real handheld move, kept raw
  • Every video checked against your take
  • No 3D software at all

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. You describe the set in a sentence and HandCam builds it. You never open a 3D program, and you never draw a camera path by hand.

HandCam is built and tested on iPhone with Safari. Most recent Android phones work too. The phone page runs in the browser: there’s nothing to install.

Seedance 2.5 today. We add a model once its recipe passes our move tests, so every model we offer has been checked to follow a camera move.

A score for how closely the AI video’s camera follows your take. We measure its turns, timing and walking frame by frame and compare them with what your phone recorded. Same video, same score, every time.

Yes. We record your phone’s motion exactly as it happened and never smooth or edit it. Want a different move? Shoot another take, like on a real set.

We make several versions and keep the closest. If none passes the check, you see why, for example “walks less than you did”, and you can make another version.

One version of a real AI video, at 480p and up to 8 seconds. 720p uses 2, 1080p uses 5, and a take over 8 seconds uses double. Versions under 70% move match use nothing. The grey video of your move is always free.

Any time, from your account in the studio. Upgrades start straight away and you pay the difference for the rest of the month. Switching down or cancelling happens at the end of what you’ve paid for, and you keep your plan until then. Top-up videos never expire.

Your sets and takes stay in your browser and on your computer. When you make a video, the grey move, its first frame and your words for the look are sent to the AI model to make it.

Both. Turning comes straight from your phone; walking uses the on-screen joystick today. Real walking with the iPhone’s own tracking is on the way.

Your next shot is already in your hand.
