Recommend a video camera app - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So the video camera app is pretty useless due to the horrible auto focus on speed, so I need a new one - any recommendations that works well with the G2. Has to be able to record [email protected]

Try ProCapture. I've used it for a long time, it's even better on the G2 and does [email protected] Just tested it and focus seems to be fairly good.
I have the paid version, but they have a free one to try before you buy.

Install lgCamera from the Play Store. It's the best replacement I've found for the video issue. I've been using the free for a bit, seems to work so I'll likely shell out the dough to buy it outright.
I've tried several apps (Lenovo Super Camera, Focal, a few others whose names I forget) and none of them worked as well for me as the lgCamera did. Good luck.

Hi, I would appreciate if you share your experience here.

Unfortunately it cannot record 60fps.

Tap to focus
Does anybody know of a video camera app that has tap to focus rather than continuous autofocus?

I have u verse and had no idea you could get your recorded shows onto the phone through the app. I know the app has its own on demand though.

Yeah on my one s I can go to my recordings in the u verse app and watch them on my phone. Maybe it only works on ICS.
When I click the watch button on the nexus it plays the sound but there's no picture.

OK, I see what you're taking about. If u verse also has that show on mobile on demand, it'll let you access it from the recorded shows portion. With that said though, all I get is audio on both video resolutions. Funny how it works on an at&t branded phone... Cause of worked on my vivid too.

[CAMERA] Slow Motion [Q]

I managed to get some hands experience on the note 3 at work the other day but I forgot to check if slow motion play back was available. Has anyone heard of this is a feature? Or will an app or rom have to enable it?
Ps. The 2k stream via HDMI was really smooth as crystal.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
This also interests me. Having 120 fps at 720p means good opportunity for slow motion videos - like on the iPhone 5s.
Is there a good video editor app in Play store that can make multi parts slow motions?

If it does, I hope it's got a better resolution than what my Note 2 has for slow mo, great featur but, looks crap on the big screen IMO.

Yeah. It's 720p at 120 fps.
I with the Note 3 could do 250 FPS at 720p. Since the Note 2 does 250fps at some low res. I guess we'll need more hp.
Thanks for the input, I'm just confused to why this wasn't mentioned or any camera features from the outset tbh. I guess the pessimist in me reckons there won't be any slow motion by default.
I would love to be proved wrong however.

The same problem
Heres a question.
Can you toggle 720 video in 120fps to be on all the time by default?
Heres my reasoning for this.
Something is going on, its ALWAYS good to be able to go back later on and play it back in slow-motion.
an accident about to happen, someone about to step on a Bananna peel, etc..
if you need to access the video camera very quickly, it would stink to have to navigate to turn on 120fps
and miss that important shot.
How do you enable the 120 fps feature?

- Load up the camera
- Cog icon top left will expand the list of options
- Icon of a videocamera (3rd from right)
- Slow motion
- Another videocamera icon appears with something like 1/4, 1/8 in the corner
- Tap and choose what you want, i prefer 1/4 as it records at 120fps and plays back at 30. The 1/8 still records at 120 but plays back at 15 i think
Thanks

Apparently, it was the same on previous LG Android phones.

Go search smarttube the only downside it doesn't bring up you subscription feed. I connected my YouTube account and add it to watch later and then go on smarttube and they have a section for YouTube watch later
The issue that I have is the quality of video isn't very good. Its not bad until you see text on the screen and its kinda pixelated. Smarttube looks better on HD or full HD. Then my YouTube app

Camera slow mo

Ok so I was using the camera yesterday and decided to test the slow motion feature which looks awesome. The only thing wrong was that there was no sound during playback. Can anyone confirm this or test it?

Hi !
Before being a gardener, I was a cameraman and as far I remember, there was no sound in slow-mo shoots. In my experience, even in an video editoring software (sorry, maybe I speak English with my french thoughts), when you change a regular motion into a slow one the sound disappears because of the time expansion - then you can put it back and stretch it, etc.
Sure, did another one just now, simple ball falling! Quality isn't that great but still no sound

Hey man, thanks for the input! The reason I asked is because my lil bro has an icrap and he was showing off his slow motion so I decided to fiddle with the note to see what it could do. The end result is a better video shot but no audio. Iphone had a quicker framerate, so not as slow as the gn3 but it also had audio.

Tell your brother that's not "professional" to have both audio and video shooted in slow-mo at the same time !:laugh:
Haha, I know! Still looks cool tho. Need people to have a look and see of its available to have both together! Plus everything sounds so much funnier in slow motion!

I'm sure you "can" hack it to allow sound. Why would you want sound in slow mo though? It is choppy since its recorded in real time then slowed.
No Sound!?

[Q] slow motion video

hello:
I have a question and i can´t find a answer.
is it possible to record slow motion videos and edit them in order to make some parts of the video in normal speed?
This is something possible in Htc One.

Open the camera app, click on the menu gear wheel, then click on the video camera icon and select "slow motion" from the recording mode list.
Thanks edwmsjr. But is it possible to edit to play few seconds in normal speed and few seconds in slow motion in the same clip?(just like they show in iPhone 5s ad) Or is there any app to do this?

I use Adobe Premier, but it's pretty expensive. A quick look through the App Store revealed a pretty well rated app here. I just don't know if you can add the slow-mo effect to just a part of a video, but it's worth a download to try.
Adobe premier is no problem i will try

If you are not a developers as i can see it seems a good answer.

Maybe someone could actually help and maybe with the solution gain money or better some credit in the developers world.

hi,
is there a solution ?
I have not done it myself yet, but wouldn't just simply recording portion in high speed, another portion in normal speed etc. and join the files together work?
