I'm loving the heck out of the camera on the Note 3, especially the 4k video! Has anyone found an android app that's capable of editing 4k video? I was surprised to find out that the phone's built in gallery doesn't even support it. I'm trying to avoid the whole "load it on your computer" mess to simply upload clips of my kid or something. It would be great if there was an app capable of cropping in.

So I recently bought The Moto X, amazing phone indeed, totally loving it.
I like the slow motion videos from this phone, but is there any possible way to get iPhone 5s like video app?
The one in which the video automatically, increases or decreases the speed of the videos in a really smart way while viewing the videos, when nothing much is happening the video automatically fasten ups and slow back when the main thing is being shown, are there any such smart apps for moto x slomo videos?
The stock gallery can do this. Tap the 3 dots menu after selecting the video in Gallery
i was having the same question but i thought it was not possible... i never knew the stock gallery had this option...thanks a lot man..
Also, is there any way to record sound while slow motion recording?

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 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.

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.
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.
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.)
