Hi fellas,
I stumled upon an app for TimeLapse (capturing video in extremely low fps) and made me think of my old Samsung INNOV8 that could capture video with up to 120fps (lower resolution of course). Considering it was build around TIOMAP 2430 (330mhz ARM) and given what we have packing, i'm pretty sure our junk is more than capable of slowmo video in adequate resolutions, but I couldn't find an app for that.
Any thoughts/ideas?
Brilliant idea!
I'd also like an app that could do this and would donate/pay for it if it worked well at a decent resolution.

I second this, It would be nice little feature to have as a way to record cool rain stuff etc. I am sure its going to be limited by the cmos sensor, or whatever type of sensor the DHD uses for its camera.
+1..........
yep, i think a lot of folks would pay good money for a decent app. any devs up to the task? I heard the Moto Droid in the states has someth of a slowmo recorder. maybe a port?

Is there a way or tweak to get the camera to record at VGA or WVGA @ 30fps? I have a 14 month old daughter and im constantly taking pics of her for the familly ect and noticed that when recording video the framerate is very laggy or slow motion like. The iphone 3gs records great video quality and the N1 has better specs so id assume higher frame rate on record is possible with the N1 also.
Any thoughts anyone?
Thx Guys!

People trip me out some time with there smart remarks.
If you like carrying around multi devices good for you. I have a stand alone camera that does video record ect but my camera is not ALLWAYS on me.
The same way the Nexus is good for multi media such as mp3 / and watching videos but I dont go buy a PSP or ipod touch for that I use my phone. The point of the high end phones these days is to try to limit carrying multi devices on you at all time.
With all the hacking / ports / tweaks going on just wanted to know if 30fps video record was possible. If you dont know how or dont know what im talking about please do reply with BS. Thanks.

i don't think he was in a bs kinda tone. hard to tell on forums
you'll thank yourself later for using a higher quality camera (dedicated camera) of any kind for videos one day. proud parent here, know whatcha mean about wanting to capture the cool 'new' moments.
now then, as far as recording, i'll bet there are settings you can change for it someday. right now the video quality is pretty darn good. just dumped a couple of videos from mine today. frame rate is quite good, picture clarity good, fps decent.
IF YOU FIND an app or way to up the settings, PLEASE update this thread in your original post.
Yeah, Im not trying to come off negative to anyone. I have a decent standalone camera that can take great pics and video a 10mpiexel cam with ful vga record. With phones tho its so MUCH MUCH MUCH more conveient to beable to snap a picture and have that picture allready able to send as MMS / Email / Up Load to facebook ect...
With the standalone camera I have to take mem card out - load to card reader - copy pics to mem card on my nexus - ect...
Just too many steps. When I had an iphone 3gs for a lmited time I was amazed at the video recording quality from a cell phone.
Now with the nexus with specs better then iphone I dont see why we cant get full 30fps at WVGA or VGA res. With 1ghz CPU and 5mpxl that should be possible right out the box. Seems like its definetly possible and im all for the ability to carry less devices.
it would be great if we could get 30 fps on the nexus. my under powered n97 does 30 fps and its video quality is a step up from my nexus for sure. kinda disappoints me that the video quality isn't just as good as my previous phones.
the moto droid (with lower specs) can do 30fps with some hacking... im sure its some setting in the rom that we can change
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/19647-increase-camera-video-quality.html
HTC Desire with similar hardware does 30fps.
I don't know if it's HW or SW limitation, though. Did anyone try to record video on Desire ROM and can verify the actual fps?
Well, the Desire ROM allows for WGVA recording. I do not know about all the fps stuff, but I do know that I am recording in WGVA.
You should be able to by modifying the camera driver in the kernel and the build.prop. I'll look into this when I have the time, but I found the line that should control frame rate. A commit says that not all cameras are stable at 30fps, but how's that ever stopped us?
Question guys - to enable you to slow certain scenes in a video you need to select the slow motion video scene...fair enough.
Should this in turn reduce the quality of the video?
I could be wrong, but before I went to a custom ROM, I am fairly sure the video quality remained the same as normal. Now as soon as I record in slow motion, it reduces the quality.

hello there
yes it will reduce the quality ...

I noticed that too with mine. Horrible isn't it? You also get reduced quality with 60fps. You get verticals lines. I gave up and stuck to 30fps.

Slow Motion = Low Resolution
I saw that HTC video doing a slow motion video of a man doing fire/flame stunt. Actually I was amazed and got excited that I wanted to try that Slow motion on my own with something else like a sprinkler maybe.
So I found one at a park and as soon as I started shooting the video (slow motion video under video settings) WTH!!!! The resolution dropped to something like 768x432 and its a bite pixellated, not true HD (1080p) which I thought I'd expect just like from the HTC video... Yes you can trim/edit the video that's cool but I was hoping for 1080p HD quality
I hoped HTC would come with an update that can maximize its camera features up to 1080p resolution. oh well..

Well I guess is impossible because the Snapdragon 600 doesn't support the record of 1080p videos at 120fps :\
I'm on stock 4.2.2 and I've recorded this slow motion clip a week ago (don't forget to turn on HD when viewing it). The quality seems fine to me.
Yeah. The quality is awfull. The slow motion video from the the device with the man in the night eith fire from his mouth is years ahead bettrr than the ones we can record... But why HTC ?!
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
some info on this please?
hello guys. i'm sorry for this little derailing question but it was the only thread i found:
i'm currently digging into slo-mo available in latest phones.
i just saw some HTC ONE samples and i was very disappointed from the low resolution.
i was particularly impressed with the new Iphone 5S 120 FPS real 720P feature. it really looks 720 and not upscaled like the fake 720p NOTE 3 slo-mo. however i cannot use iphone anymore due to the small screen.
so from this thread i gather the faster frame limitation is by the processor itself? (snapdragon 600-800? what's the 720P limit?)
i am willing to wait until an Android phone will have a usable 720 slo-mo..
so what hardware could provide this? as i can see nowdays, the latest android phones cannot do it (not the NOTE 3 or the G2 which doesn't even have slo-mo to begin with).
my choice now are either wait for a phone that will (maybe the next HTC?), or wait till apple make a bigger phone (cannot stand the small screen).
your thoughts on this?
thanks.
Anyone know what if there's been any progress to getting this set up on our devices? This is literally the only thing I feel like it is missing. And I really don't understand why it is so hard to implement if the camera has the capability. Maybe Im missing something. Really wish one of the dev's here could get this set up for us all.
Thanks!
Really surprised no one else is really interested in slow mo video.
look in your app store, there are apps for slow motion recording, just not many. oh, and the devs here on xda, do things for free, no body pays them. if i were to make an app for slow motion video, id want to get oaid for it, i wouldnt do it for free. it actually would take wuite some personal time to make.

He means apps that shoot in 120-210fps. Not apps that shoot 30fps and cut that down to 15 or less and render the poor mans slow mo.
In regards to OP. No, not yet.
No camera on the planet can CAPTURE in slow motion. To do so would require travelling away from the scene being captured at insanely high rates of speed, specifically, to turn the capture speed down to 50% would require the capture device to travel away from the scene at HALF THE SPEED OF LIGHT!
ALL "slow motion" video is slowed down during PLAYBACK. It is done by rendering the frames at a rate lower than they were captured. Now naturally, the higher the rate they were captured at, the more smooth the playback will appear once they are rendered at a lower rate, but the actual function is identical.
This would require the camera to be able to capture video at 120-210 FPS... which ain't happening.

uhmmm the N5 camera was able to do 120fps and so is my old s4, the camera in the n6 is perfectly capable of it hardware wise.
+1 for looking for slow motion
Well, as allready said this will not come until Google implements it or something magical happens
This is the closest I've found:
https://github.com/PkmX/lcamera/issues/153
Seems it theoretically could be possible to do the same hack as on nexus 5 for higher framerate videorecording. So keep the hope alive! I think i might reconsider going for nexus the next time around if google keep on skipping this... Oh well.
Lcamera - linked above is the best camera for now for taking really low light photos at least. I can take pictures at half a second exposure :good:
So here's hoping 120fps for the n6 will show up too
Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Google Pixel 2 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I am particularly interested in low-light videos of both devices and the audio quality. From a few samples i could check on YouTube i suspect problems with the noise suppression at least on the XL. Trying to assemble examples in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/77mmk1/pixel_2_xl_video_samples_low_light_and_audio/
Soo.. get your samples out to the world!

Here is a quick video on how I shoot really good low light video. https://youtu.be/YnBjJeMJ6Po
See if this helps.
Overall the video quality of the Pixel 2 is mind blowing I think. For a phone this thing is incredible. Ive been vlogging on this thing and really impressed with the quality.

I love this camera so much. New video messing around with bokeh https://youtu.be/4u0pa3rBAyI
I made this video with my Pixel 2. Im pretty satisfied with the quality considering the low light but the sound could be a bit better. But it was really loud there. So maybe that was the issue.

Yes. Cinema 4k for me is the best. Open camera is also good but has no noise reduction. Cinema 4k has really good noise reduction. Filmic pro isnt worth it for me. The quality is just mush compared to what you get on Cinema 4k no matter what color profile or bitrate you use.

Ive been paying about with cinema 4k since my last post... i'ts definitely better in the low light but im getting nowhere near the quality you are... im determined to get better at it..
What do you edit your videos with? can you recommend some editing software that's not too complicated.
Edit?: what settings do you have on in Cinema 4k ... 200mps High noise reduction etc

It would help to see some of your work that I could take a look at. I use premiere pro. It looks scary but its really not that difficult once you watch a few tutorials. The sequence settings and export settings are scary when you first try it out but you learn a lot over time when you use it. I just cannot recomend any free or super cheap softwares. I heard some of them were good but i havent tried.

Thank you for the continued advice.
Vietnam looks amazing def on my list
I love this, auto focus works good.
Its quality too.
I recently test my new Pixel 2 , with Filmic pro, and the OIS works excellent, the zoom is very soft and accurate, also works the mic gain slider, and all the features of the app.
For record videos in a concert, Filmic pro is the best, you can monitor the mic gain, and control it with the slider.
Video of Pixel 2, is a great upgrade from Nexus 6p.
Hi guys,
I recently bought an DJI Mobile 3 (Gimbal) and looking to do some Widescreen shooting.
1) I'm supposed to present the film at a 1080 screen, is there any reason to shoot at an higher resolution? I'm thinking to film in 1080p @ 60 fps. Is this optimal?
2) What postprocessing app or/and film-app can I use to get the Widescreen/Cinema view?
Thanks for helping a novice out. I'm making a small commercial for my small company.
1) Unless you want to view it in a theater (which has a standard resolution of 8K) or a quarter of it (for 4K), nope. A 1080p footage will still look good enough at 100-120" provided you watch it from enough distance (3 meters or so). For the framerate, 60fps is the netflix standard, but cinematic movies all use 24fps (very few does 48fps). You can always reencode faster framerate to a slower one, just like you can reencode 4K into 1080p. 30fps tend to have better details, though, so if you after cinematic movie, record in 30fps instead.
2) Instead of postprocessing, get a quality anamorphic lens to get 21:9 aspect ratio. Apexel, Ulanzi, Moment, all have good one.
Little tip: Since you have a gimbal, turn off EIS to get wider view.

Great advice - bless you! Noted.
The Anamorphic Lens from Ulanzi is coming my way in the mail, I'm excited to try it out with the Gimbal.
Any advice on apps or WIN10 software to either shoot in or/and do some amature postprocessing? Should I shoot in the Mi 9 stock app with the Ulanzi on?
Sorry for all the Q's. Totally understand if you can't reply them all.

You can, but if you want more finer controls (like smooth zooming by using a slider or the ability to use external mic unless you have direct USB-C mic), use Open Camera.

Hi man, got a question for you:
How do you feel using the DJI Mobile 3? I've been thinking buying one for a while now. Is it worth the money? Also, since Mi9 does not have OIS and only have EIS (which in my opinion is a bit trashy) does it stabilize well also when you turn off EIS on the phone?

movavi is quite a basic program, but Id suggest going the premiere pro route. Also, if you want the best of the best recording app, buy (or download a cracked apk) filmic pro.
