One kit, every prop screen.
Glass Double gives film & TV crews screen-accurate device props on a fictional OS with no real-brand UI to clear. Thirteen prop-screen modules, swappable skins, and the clearance trail to back it — on web, Android, and iOS.
The 13 prop-screen modules
Call screens
Incoming and active voice/video calls with custom contacts, avatars, and lock/awake states.
Messages
Scripted SMS/chat threads — text, voice notes, and file chips — that play back on cue for actor delivery.
Notifications
Stackable lock-screen and banner notifications, timed to tell a story frame by frame.
Home screens
Fictional home layouts with app grids, folders, dock, widgets, and wallpapers — fully themeable.
Green screen
Chroma fills with built-in registration markers so VFX can track and replace the screen.
Playback
Locked-screen media playback and now-playing states for scenes shot around a paused device.
Feed
A generic social feed of posts and reactions — the scroll without any real-brand exposure.
Maps
A fictional wayfinder with routes, pins, and turn cards for navigation and location beats.
Wallet
Transactions, balances, and passes — statements and payment moments that read on camera.
DMs
A direct-message inbox with conversation list, unread badges, and threaded replies.
Stream
A streaming-service home — rows, hero art, and titles — for TV-in-hand watch scenes.
An inbox and message view for the classic on-screen email reveal, cleared and fictional.
Car dashboard
A landscape car cluster / infotainment display — speed, gear, range, nav, and now-playing — for scenes shot in a vehicle. Any glass on set, not just phones.
Built for the whole production
Fictional OS skins
Swap the entire device look — Lumen, Verge, and more. Skins are data, so one prop re-themes across operating systems with no rebuild and no real-brand UI.
E&O clearance log
Every fictional skin and asset used is recorded into a per-shot clearance / errors-and-omissions log to support your production's delivery paperwork.
Collaboration
Share props with your crew and design together — prop masters, playback ops, and directors working from the same source of truth.
Cloud sync
Saved props and uploaded media sync across your devices so what you built at the office is ready on set.
Cross-platform
One shared engine renders on web, Android, and iOS — the prop can be the phone in frame or a browser on a tablet.
Exports
Take props out of the tool — render and hand off screen-accurate stills and sequences for the shots that need them.
How it fits your pipeline
Glass Double is built around the on-set → post handoff, not a marketing demo. Here’s what each department gets, from prep through delivery.
Prep
Prop master / art dept
Build the hero device by hand, or auto-fill a whole believable character in one click — contacts, threads, wallpaper, all consistent (we call it Generate-a-life). Start from a scene template, and the fictional UI is clearance-friendly by design.
On set
Playback op
Run Present / On-Set mode on any tablet and cue calls, texts, and notifications live from the Operator console — without touching the hero device, and it works offline for locations with no signal.
Handoff
DIT / editorial
Export a numbered alpha PNG image sequence that imports straight into Avid, Resolve, Premiere, or After Effects at your fps and resolution — plus alpha WebM and stills when that's all a shot needs.
Post
VFX / compositing
Pull transparent cutouts with a real alpha channel, or shoot green-screen mode with built-in registration markers so the screen tracks and replaces cleanly.
Delivery
Legal / E&O
Attach a per-shot log (PDF) documenting that the on-screen UI is original and fictional — a head start on your clearance paperwork, already written. (Final sign-off still rests with your counsel.)
Every take
Continuity
The character's phone rebuilds identical every time — same contacts, messages, and wallpaper on take 1 and take 47. Nothing drifts between setups.
Straight answers
Why not just use a real phone in airplane mode?
Two reasons. Airplane mode hides the signal, not the brand — the camera is still pointed at real iOS or Android UI, which is the part that creates E&O exposure. And you're still relying on a crew member off-camera to land an incoming call exactly on action. Glass Double puts original, fictional UI on screen and lets you fire the cue on the button, take after take.
How does the clearance side actually work?
Every module renders original, fictional UI on fictional-OS skins — no real trademarks or trade dress — and each prop keeps a per-shot E&O clearance log you can export as a PDF. It keeps real-brand UI off camera, but final clearance sign-off still rests with your production and counsel.
Does it work offline on set?
Yes. Present / On-Set mode works offline, so you can cue calls, texts, and notifications from the Operator console at locations with no signal. Cloud sync catches up whenever you're back online.
What formats can I hand to editorial?
Export a numbered alpha PNG image sequence that imports into Avid, Resolve, Premiere, and After Effects, plus alpha WebM, plain WebM, PNG stills, a contact sheet, and the clearance PDF — all at your chosen fps and resolution.
Web, iOS, or Android?
One shared engine renders on web, iOS, and Android, so the prop can be the phone the camera sees or a browser on a tablet. Present / On-Set mode runs on any tablet for the playback op.
Can a whole crew collaborate?
Yes. Props live in cloud projects with real-time collaboration and version history, so prop masters, playback ops, and editorial all work from the same source of truth across devices.
Can I match a specific device?
Pick from real device frames — phones with a notch, Dynamic Island, or punch-hole, plus tablet and watch shells — so the prop reads as the exact hardware your scene calls for, without any real on-screen brand UI.
