Video capture of what's on-screen? - Xoom Themes and Apps

Is there a way to capture video of what's actually on the screen? By use of an app or perhaps somewhere in the SDK?

[Q] [9001] can anyone improve macro for camera?

hi all.
do you know that stock camera for i9001 can take pictures closer than film videos?
after i find it i was interested is there some app that can film videos in macro... i download LGcamera free from market and find out that this app can focus in preview to macro objects even closer than stock app, for distance about 2cm! try it, it is amasing! but it can't film video in macro! afrer pressing the shutter button focus go away for 50cm or something...
i find this strange, why macro is different in different apps and why app can focus for macro filming in preview, but can't actually film a video? it is seem to be just a software issue.
can anyone please fix it in firmware? it will be really cool to take macro pictures and videos in HD720p

Why screen capture of youtube video turns out to be blank?

My Note was playing a video via the Youtube App. When I did a screen capture using the S-pen, the resulting image was a blank/black with the control keys. How come? Is this a bug?
Most likely copy protection, just like on Windows PC you won't be able ( in most scenarios ) to capture screen from any video player.
Maybe it depends on the video and copy protection, although I doubt it. Try taking a screen print with a palm swipe. It works for me. The only problem is trying to avoid the menu popping up.

Friend, I have replied to somewhat the same in here.
Hope this helps
And yes, you can capture screenshots using the above discussed techniques.

Video file framesize not matching what Camera sees

Hello people! I'm trying to record video with my new OP3T, but when I watch the recording, the video frame size (or field of view I suppose) is smaller than what it looks like when I'm shooting. I mean the video resolution is still 1920x1080, but things at the edges of the screen are now out of view. I'm using 1920x1080 @30 FPS, stock camera app, Android 7.0. Same thing happens with other resolutions and FPS settings, and with OpenCamera app for example. But it does not happen when taking pictures, and even when I take a static shot WHILE shooting video, that picture comes out fine.
Is this a known issue? How could I solve this? Is there any modification that could help?

Seems to be a known issue. Watch this video (pay attention at 3:30): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFC9OB85Tpk&t
I don't know if this can be solved as i received my 3T yesterday and haven't had a chance to use the camera yet.

It seems so, yeah. Do you know if this sort of cropping happens during shooting or is it a separate process that's done afterwards? I figured this might be solvable somehow, since you do see the whole picture while you're recording. So it's not a physical limitation of the camera lens or anything.

Sorry, but i don't know why this happens.

Noticed that OpenCamera has a function to enable Camera2 API, which fixed the cropping! Also I found that on stock camera app, recording on 4K UHD (3840x2160) doesn't crop the video frame. But it limits to 10 minutes per shot (also workable on OpenCamera due to its restart recording function.)
It's the electronic image stabilisation. It needs to zoom in a little bit to stabilize the video. That's why the 4k isn't cropped, because in 4k, there is only OIS, and not EIS.

Exactly what I thought was the cause of it, thanks for clearing this up ??
Is there any way to disable stabilisation? Different camera app, some mod or something? Even OpenCamera doesn't specifically have a setting for that, but I guess Camera2 API doesn't support EIS or something, which feels like a crutch "solution" at best.

Scan build.prop see if there is some line related to ois or eis.

[guide] how to record 240/480/960 fps smooth slowmotion [ no root & no pc needed ]

Today I'm gonna show you that how you could get 240/480/960 fps smooth slowmotion on your device. You don't need to have root or a PC just your device and an application.
App : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.danielkorgel.SmoothActionCamSlowmo
( In no way I'm claiming that this app is my intellectual property, I'm just sharing what this app is capable of. )
Just follow the steps in the video below.
For all of you who are skeptical whether this method actually works or this video is just a clickbait. Before you watch this video and get disappointed later. I would like to tell you that how this thing actually works.
First of all you will need to install the app I linked. Then record a video and btw the video you record can be of any frame rate or resolution, you can even produce a "smooth" slow motion video out of a 4k video you recorded. But the final result would be much better if you record at the highest possible frame rate as the app would have more information to work with.
Now after you've set up the app as I showed you in the video, select the video file you recorded. Now after doing other steps click on export, this process would take time depending on fps, resolution, length of the video and how much you slow it down. Eg. A 720p 120fps slow mo video of around 5 seconds took around 2 minutes to export. The way this app works is that first it takes two frames, then guessing what the the frame in between them would've looked like renders it, this process is called motion interpolation. Google this term to know better. Btw professional videographers use this method too in Adobe premiere pro on PC's.
The reason I chose to show how to show the setting up and method of using this app using a video because first of all the the method of setting up the app is easier to understand by a video and as this whole process off exporting takes time so with this video showed you the proof that what I'm telling you all is true.
( In no way this app is my intellectual property and in no way I'm related or know the developer personally. I just found about this app due to my habit of trying different apps and I'm sharing what this app does as I wasn't able to find any other app capable of motion interpolation.)

Youtube uploads in 480p only

Hello,
I have noticed when I use the youtube app to upload videos, the video quality changes to 480p whenever the video is uploaded. I have tried setting the camera app to 1080p 60fps and UHD and changing the settings for upload quality in the youtube app, neither helped. This happens when uploading on either wifi or mobile data. Anyone knows whats going on?
Thanks
The issue you're having is solved in the YouTube app. Click on your profile picture in the top right hand corner then the settings option, next choose general and then upload quality. Choose original and what ever resolution you recorded in will be how it is uploaded. Hope this helps mate

i have tried that, it doesn't solve the issue
It is definitely related to the youtube app. No idea how to fix it. What I have noticed is when I watch an uploaded video using any mobile device via youtube app, then the video is in 480p quality, but if i use my PC to watch it, then the video is in the original quality that it was recorded in. Whats going on here?
Same problem
I have same problem. But video quality is 480p even on computer. I uploaded one video more than week ago and it is ok. Three more videos in last 3 days show only in 480p. Backup to google photos is in 1080p.
So problem is only with videos in portrait mode. In landscape it is uploaded in 1080p. I try upload same video to vimeo and it shows 1080p on PC, but quality in android app is lower (i don't see in app setting button to change it).
