Elf Spotted: AR Video Maker

Getting started

Open the app and point your iPhone at a table, a shelf or the floor in a well-lit room. Move the phone slowly until the hint changes, then tap the surface: your elf pops out of a sparkle. Pick a scene, or a move, and tap Record. After 3-2-1 the video records; tap the small stop button when you're done. The clip is in the Album, ready to save to Photos or share.

Tips for the best videos

• Good light helps the camera find surfaces. Avoid plain white, glossy or glass tables.
• Pinch to make the elf bigger or smaller (10 cm to 1.2 m), twist with two fingers to turn it, drag it to move it.
• Come closer than 40 cm and the elf freezes like a toy. Step back and it carries on (Settings → Toy freeze).
• On iPhones that support it, people and furniture can pass in front of the elf.
• Scenes → Record it films a whole scene hands-free.

No AR on this phone?

Settings → Demo room shows a drawn living room with every feature: scenes, looks, recording, the Album, the customiser and the planner. The app also switches to it by itself if the camera is not allowed.

The recorded video is missing the room

Try Settings → Recorder → Screen. If it still happens, turn on Settings → Diagnostics, tap Copy diagnostics and email it to us.

Forgot the parent-lock PIN?

On the PIN screen, tap Forgot the PIN? and hold the button for 3 seconds. The lock is removed; your elves, clips and settings stay.
