Are there any instructions anywhere for the Samsung Video Editor app that comes with the camera? I can poke it with various sticks and make random things happen on the screen, but I can't tell what any of them mean . If it is supposed to be obvious and intuitive, it didn't work on me...
I also noticed that it refuses to even attempt to edit many of the video formats the camera can record (like the slow motion videos), which seems a little lame for an app that is supposed to enhance the camera.

is there an app that will let you record wile not having the camera opened like record video and then while recording open another app like to txt or something like that
AFAIK, once the UI is minimized, it stops recording.
That's a tricky one... Sometimes it will kill background processes alltogether when you turn on the camera app... It does use alot of resources. I wouldn't advise it resource-wise... Chances are you camera app is slow enough already without bogging it down apps and programs on top of it.
Any news on this? I have seen on GSM Arena that the Galaxy S6 actually shoots slow motion with audio, the interface in the Note 4 is good as it is, it just lacks the proper shooting mode, Slow motion with Audio, video quality is ok right now, i just miss the audio, adding the slow motion effect to a video directly on the phone is a huge upgrade, but having the Note 4 lacking behind the iphone 5 is just not right, S6 does it right tho, any news of someone porting the S6 camera to the Note 4? Thanks for reading.
You can use 'Snap Camera' app, open it, enable advanced controls (or something like that), go to video tab, choose 720p, change bitrate if desired, now choose Record at maximum framerate (or something like that). Record a video and play it at x0.25 with VLC and/ or use a video editoron your pc.
Thanks for the reply, but im interested in the current slow motion mode in the note 4 where you can slow down a fraction of the video while the rest keeps the normal speed, exporting the video like that is ok on the note 4, but no audio.

Oh, then try this app alongside with the other one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobile.bizo.slowmotion
Open this app, choose to record a video using Snap Camera with the settings I told you before, then return to the app and edit the video as you want.
Hello,
When I use creative effect mode with my Z3C I see a lot of lags on the screen when I move the phone (like... you know... when you make a video...). I thought it was normal and just on the screen but with normal final result. But when I record a video with creative effect, I see lags on the screen BUT also in the final video when I watch it.
Am I alone?
Thanks!
EDIT: NO I don't have Stamina mode
I've never tried video recording with creative effects, but it doesn't surprise me. Most of the creative effects seem to stress the processor and some have even experienced the camera app shutting down to prevent over-heating.
Too bad, I can't make "real" video with effect, always lags in some parts.
try clearing out all apps and running programs before recording one of the videos. have all processing power available.
OK thank you

I should not have to do that on a 2014-15 flagship. Just to be able to use all the features.... I'd accept it for 4yo phone if you want to use the latest softwares, but a new one? Completely unacceptable.
actually..you SHOULD have to do that. A cpu intensive task needs all power available.
also the videos with these effects on dont get the best frame rates to begin with. theyre for entertainment purposes, not to film a super bowl commercial
Camera become laggy when free ram get under 300mb, I fix it with rooting then use greenify to manage ram.. Smooth camera and fluid multitasking
It would be really cool if this phone can shoot slow-mo video. So I've read about people editing media_profiles.xml and tried to edit it myself but there's no difference. (There is a 738p60 option in Moto Camera but that doesn't work) Any ideas?
Older versions of the Moto camera for the Quark phones had slow-mo. I shot a slow-mo video back in spring of 2015 with my phone, when my wife got another degree.
You can try to find an older Moto camera APK, or you can search for newer custom camera APKs with that functionality.
However, I used it that one time, and never found the need again. For one thing, the AUDIO was also slow mo which sounded bad.
Any decent video editing software can slow-mo your video, so you don't need to actually record it that way -- live. You can make it slow-mo later. One less thing you have to mess with when recording an event. Plus, the video editing software can slow-mo EXACTLY how much you want.
Here's a video editor that's usually $20 but is free if you get it before April 3rd: http://www.videosoftdev.com/cnet
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.

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.)
