[Q] Where are Zoe temp files in 4.2.2?

I was curious about how Zoe worked under 4.2.2 and got surprised when I could not find the pictures, even under another folder as a temp picture.
Zoe under 4.1.2 took 20 pics and a short 3 sec video. All pics where sent then to Dropbox or any other instant upload like G+ and Picasa. It was a mess.
With 4.2.2 Zoe only takes the short video, a small preview and if you like a frame you can take it "from the video". The thing is, the video is a 1920x1088 resolution, but when you extract the picture it is a 4MP (like it was before the update).
Since this is tecnicaly impossible, unless you use upscale which would get you a bad picture compared to a full 4MP one, I would like to know where are the TEMP pictures taken with the short video in 4.2.2
Does anyone know about this? It is not a problem, just something that got me thinking.
Regards,
Santroph.

Zoe MP4 files missing first second of video
Further to your question above, I've noticed that the MP4 zoe videos seem to be missing the ~1s of video which is recorded from before the shutter button is pressed. This seems to be true of the videos sent using the share function as well as when I "explore" to the DCIM folders on the phone. My HTC One demonstrated this with the Android 4.3 and now with the 4.4 versions loaded. I would really like to be able to play the entire video on my PC. To me the ability to retrieve the video from before I pressed the button is one of the great features of the HTC One Camera.

[Q] MediaRecorder() stalls at HD setting on EK-GC100

Hi,
I am trying to record 1280 x 720 video in a simple video recording app., targetted at the Samsung Galaxy Camera.
It is returned as an available size in Camera.getParameters().getSupportedVideoSizes();
The app works at other sizes I have tried, I really want 720 px, and would appreciate any feedback on what might be the problem.
This setting doesn't cause problems on other devices, but I haven't had a chance to hook them up to adb.
Using MediaRecorder.setVideoSize() to set this, the app starts recording video as one would expect, but with the size set to these values, on calling MediaRecorder.stop(); the app freezes and continues to record video, but neither stops nor completes the file write. I am calling the MediaRecorder like this:
mRec.setCamera(camera);
mRec.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);
mRec.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
mRec.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4);
mRec.setVideoSize(1280,720);
mRec.setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.MPEG_4_SP);
mRec.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
mRec.setPreviewDisplay(sh.getSurface());
mRec.setOutputFile(dirPath + fileName + ".mp4");
mRec.prepare();
mRec.start();​

[Q] Option to scale video when sending via whatsapp

When I take a video that is 1 minute long, and try to send this video via whatsapp, it will limit me to sending only 20 seconds of the video.
On other phones, Galaxy S3, and Nexus S, Nexus 5, it actually defaults to scale down the resolution of the video, and send the video in full.
1. Is this a problem with the phone or with whatsapp, I have sent a support email to whatsapp and haven't gotten any reply.
2. Is there an easy to use app that can help me to scale the video down before sending via whatsapp? I tried searching on playstore but they all seems complicated.

bump! I have tried some video converters, but they are not easy to use as compared to whatsapp scaling the video directly on other phones! Help.

Choppy video recording

Hello, I've been plauged by this issue and still haven't found a fix...
Recording any videos with the stock camera app, either 4k or 1080p, and attempting to play them back in either the stock camera app or in google photos, the videos are horrendously choppy. But playing them back in a different program like ES File Explorer, them seem to work OK (4k still has some dropped frames).
I am running 5.1.1 tmobile. I have already attempted a factory reset and reflash but it didn't help at all. Any ideas?

Is this what you are experiencing?

If so, the hardware is defective and you should get it replaced asap.

I'm not quite sure if it's the same issue...When I play back the videos using a different app like QuickPic they seem to be OK. Just Google Photos and the google camera app are laggy when playing back videos.

[Q] Timeshift video

Hi, I'm not sure why and since when but my timeshift video (the slow motion camera add-on) is not working properly.
When I finish recording the video it simply saves the 120f video without letting me choosing the part I want to slow.
It's like capturing regular video but in 120f.
I searched for the apk installed maybe to clear data but found out there is no app installed on my device called that (I only have timeshift burst, not video)
Do you guys have timeshift video apk installed on your device? if so do you mind uploading it? maybe it will fix it..
If not, does anyone have a guess what might causes this and how to fix it?
Thanks alot,
Jordan.

On 5.1.1 I was having the same problem until I found out the app called "Video Editor" (the icon is orange movie clipboard thingy) is REQUIRED to edit and save edited video.
Mine was disabled in settings by me, so see if you did the same. If yes, enable the app back and I'm pretty sure you'll have timeshift video working again.

way to go man! indeed a solution!
