Cannot capture a video that pans from ground to sky with visible Milky Way galaxy because iPhone lacks long exposure video capability, and post-processing attempts fail due to mismatched lighting.
Existing smartphone cameras cannot record video with long exposure settings (e.g., seconds-long shutter speed), and post-hoc stitching of a still long-exposure photo with a standard video clip results in inconsistent lighting.

Workarounds Described
- tried stitching a long-exposure photo with a standard video but lighting didn't match
Implied Software Gaps
- A mobile app that records video with long-exposure effects by stacking frames in real time, allowing visible stars and galaxies in panning shots
App Concept
NightShift Video
A mobile app that enables long-exposure video recording on smartphones by stacking multiple frames in real time, producing bright, detailed low-light footage. Unlike standard video mode, it mimics long exposure photography by accumulating light over time without the need for a separate DSLR.
Key Features
- Real-time frame stacking for bright, low-noise video in near-darkness
- Manual shutter speed control (up to 30 seconds per frame)
- Automatic alignment to compensate for handheld movement or panning
- Export in 4K resolution with adjustable exposure curves
Target Users: Amateur and professional photographers who shoot on iPhone (or other smartphones) and want to create cinematic long-exposure videos of night scenes, astrophotography, and low-light environments
Revenue Model: Freemium with $4.99/month Pro subscription (unlocks 4K export, manual controls, and removal of watermarks)
