## What it is
SCRecorder is an Objective-C framework for iOS that provides a Vine/Instagram-style camera engine built on AVCaptureSession. It supports tap-to-record segmented capture, configurable and animatable Core Image video filters, slow motion, segment removal, and merging/exporting the final audio-video result.

## Use cases
- record video in short segments with tap-to-record like Vine in an iOS app
- apply real-time animatable video filters to the camera preview and recording
- build an Instagram-style camera screen in Objective-C or Swift
- capture slow motion video on iOS
- delete individual recorded segments and merge the rest into one clip
- save an unfinished recording session and resume it later
- overlay custom UIViews on top of the live camera feed

## When to choose
- you need segmented, Vine-like video capture with filters in an iOS app
- you want a higher-level wrapper around AVCaptureSession with session serialization
- your project is Objective-C or Swift and targets older iOS versions
- you need fine-tuned control when merging and exporting recorded segments

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained, Swift-first camera library for modern iOS
- you are building for Android or a cross-platform framework
- you only need playback or editing of existing videos rather than camera recording
- you require features beyond capture such as full NLE-style video editing
