I love this phone, Zoe camera is just amazing. It's one of my most used features when hanging out with friends. Can't get enough compliment when using it.
But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to produce the HTC highlight video. I moved the related photos into a new album... then what?
Thanks for helping out!

So go into the album you made and it should generate a Zoe highlight. Then click on the zoe and go into the menu and choose select content.
Did you know Zoe comes from Zoetrope

I don't see any Zoe highlight though? Just my photos.
Nevermind I found it! You have to view the gallery as Events, I was looking at Albums.

Hi all,
What I did is, I took a zoe photo, and then I moved the zoe photo by the spliting function to /Picture folder.
Afterthat I use the ES explorer to move back those 20photos+1video files to 100MEDIA folder. And now, I cannot see the moving zoe in the photo album, and it just shows the 3 sec. video.
How can I restore it back? Thanks a lot for helping.

It is a little different. So click on the video and when it's playing click it again it will pause. You can then use the slider at the bottom to go through the frames. Once you find a frame you like you can go to menu and save the frame.

Thanks. However what I mean is now the album recongize it as a video clip instead of a zoe photo. So it cannot show it in a magic zoe style.
Anyway to solve it? Thanks.
You can't. Looked at the gallery sqlite database using sqlite editor. You can see there that Zoe photos are stored in there. Once a Zoe photo is removed the data get's deleted and when you return it back it doesn't recognize the zoe photo anymore because the deleted data in the database is totally gone.
I assume that the camera app creates that data in there everytime you take a photo and mediaserver removes it when it can't detect it anymore.

Thanks a lot. That means I've no way to resolve it back.
However, I think out a issue, for example, if we change to another New HTC one, we cannot just copy all files from the old phone to the new one with the zoe album keep alive in the new one.
Yes! Or maybe you can by backing up the data of the gallery and restore it back on a new device(Would require root though).
Also I have made this suggestion already on HTC about a month ago about the issues with Zoe, Gallery & dropbox but they ignored it. Seems like they didn't get enough response about the issue.
Has anyone noticed that when you save the 30second video highlight the quality is somewhat reduced?
Is there anyway to stop this?
To reproduce:
1. Play 30second video in events and note quality.
2. Save the video highlight and then view it..notice the reduced quality?
Nobody else noticed this?!
I noticed, it's because the preview was realtime, using assets like photos and video from the phone with some themes applied on top. So it's displayed at the best quality. But when it's being saved (rendered) as video file there's some compression applied. To me it's not that big of a deal, but i wish HTC gave us option for multiple compression quality
It basically looks like rerendering twice. Once when the vid is captured, another when Zoe is created.
Yeah it's such a shame as when exporting to dropbox etc to show people they just don't look good enough (imo)

I totally agree on the phone it looks great but then you upload them on facebook or youtube and they are kinda meh, even thou they look good, they dont look as good as on the phone
I noticed same thing. Was disappointed when I uploaded and viewed on my PC.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
it must have a preference or setting xml file somewhere you may can edit and improve, i guess
this is so disappointing, on the display it looks perfect, but once you want to save or share it, the quality goes drastically down
and also, the "select content" function is not working as it should
just received the reply from htc support.
what you should do is:
force stop camera app, clear data
boot into recovery
wipe cache partition
it did help me

I guess I don't see how this would help. Technically a 30 second clip of Video Highlight should be at least a hundred megs, not 12... I wish there was a way to turn off the compression when you save it.
What does clearing the data from the camera app and clearing cache do? The reason I ask is that ive flashed new ROMS, which would obviously have cleared data, and I clear my cache all the time when i fiddle with my ROMS. and the Zoe Video Highlight quality has always been diminished.
If someone could help, that'd be awesome.
hmm... no comments since august '13.
no workarounds found yet? It's an awesome feature, but the highlights are not worth sharing at that quality...
Hello sorry for bringing in this question here. I have a Desire 600 and although the camera doesn't have the Zoe Mode, in the gallery I can see or view my photos and videos in zoe preview (video highlight) now, my questions are 1) why I can't save the clips and 2) is this just a demo version?
Thanks a lot people!

Hi twistergear! I can see that you get a lot of help from this forum, pretty nice huh!? In case you still have the "save" video highlight problem edited from your phone I will suggest few things that might workout for you.
1) Update your firmware and
2) install a third party video player like the MX Player.
Now go to your gallery, select the video or photos you like to share and save it. Then, go to your installed video player (MX Player) and locate the video highlight folder and play the saved file. I hope it will work!
Cheers!

I guess it needs additional video codec to render, save and play.
Oh and here's the link for a sample: http://youtu.be/yQtgtiLeLag
I downloaded few HD wallpapers of size 1080x1920 and 780x1280. Out of 32 pictures I transferred to the phone only few of them are coming to the gallery. Please help me with this problem if any one is facing the same thing. Why aren't they appearing in the gallery when all pics are of same resolution.

Swich to Quickpic. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder
If you looking for an album with widget use Gallery ICS (classic Version). Also check if the Wallpapers are in .JPG file.

Just to be sure. Is necessarily to check everything and the common format is JPG. I think with different Album will be fine.

You doing something wrong. Take all the pictures and move to another folder renamed like you like. If you don't see them again put the pictures to SD or Internal Memory directly without subfolders. The Album in Z1 is crap and he mess with all the pictures but try to scroll them all for Lockscreen Wellpaper after you move the pictures.

It will not be the same take now the attachments and test them because probably uploading here the pics are in low quality or in different format. So if you already did everything I suggest to convert 1 of the pictures, which you can't selected in Album, to another format, if they are JPG convert to PNG or vice-versa. Keep the resolution and the scale same as original 1080x1920. Try again.

Ok, I will post my lockscreen with one of those, but you should try to convert 1 picture anyway to see if the album recognize it, somewhere have be the problem.
Done. No problem. EDIT: ..for me.
My wife and I both got this amazing phone recently and she's having trouble getting used to the gallery app. She used to have an S3 and loved the gallery app. I've been looking for an apk or a similar app but have been unsuccessful. Anyone here able to help? Much appreciated!

Thanks for the reply. She's actually using that one now. More specifically, the feature she likes the most (and I agree, it's a nice feature even though I despise Samsung phones) is being able to multi-select photos while in the photo viewer. Instead of selecting them all in thumbnail view, you can open the photo, then at the bottom is a filmstrip type view where you can select multiple photos. Hope that makes sense.
