Video quality - HTC U12+ Real Life Review

Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the HTC U12+ come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.

My big complaint is the low fps when capturing indoors. Video fps balanced between 40 and 11!!!
Yestarday i took video from my son's scool event. Indoor event with plenty of light. Kids dancing on a dance floor. 1080p and 30fps settings.
The result?
- Amazing sound!!! Everything hearing so clear that you cannot believe how on earth did a mobile manage to do this!!! Clear output for every sound source!
- Amazing picture quality!!! Obvious without doubt result!
- Annoyng "cracks" during playback. Fps goes from 40 to ...11!!!!...and playback became too unsmooth!
Maybe HTC trying to keep ISO in low level using fps drop as a solution. I dont know. But this makes playback unwatchable!
I wiil try to capture with 60fps next time. Lets' hope that fps will not drop below 30.
P.S i previously wrote this small text in wrong thread. I copied in here in order to continue the discussion.

Yeah I found too that 30fps video is quite choppy. Switching to 60fps seems to have solved the issue.

Yes. 60fps option solves the "problem".
The same on 4K video recording. 30fps makes video unsmooth. If you choose 60fps, everything is ok.
I hope pie solve this issue.

Xiaomi lying/misleading about slow motion
Has anyone else noticed that slow motion videos, both resolutions 1080p/720p and both framerates 240fps/120fps, are only software-upscaled from lower resolution?
If you don't believe, try to record the same scene once in 1080p/30fps and then in 1080p/240fps and play the videos on the computer.
There are horrible squares (blocks) in 240fps version.
My guess is they are originally recorded in 540p or 480p and upscaled to 1080p.
I'm very disappointed
The device has firepower for everything the year-tops do, but Xiaomi is capping it with its software.

Blocks are bacause of low bitrate probably.
please tell me "how to record 240 fps video"

In camera settings change video hfr to 240.

In the videos i've recorded, with little no camera movement and only the subject moving the image quality at 240fps looks exactly the same as 1080p. So i will assume it's exactly this, i havent tested the files, but its probably using the same or only just slightly higher bitrate for the 240fps version.
could be better, maybe with an update, that can be fixed
xiaomi mi 8 960 fps super slow motion
The Camera for me has improved a lot, but now it would be good to improve the super slow camera, and the recording time of it, I have compiled this video and you can see how some effects of the slow 960fps camera seems not to be real, judge your.
Xiaomi mi8 super slow motion 960 fps.

It's not actually 960s, it's software post-processing/interpolation of a 240fps video

Has anybody tested the video quality? I'm curious if the mics can handle loud concerts or clubs without distortion.
Autofocus issue with video filming. No digital stabilisation when on 60fps
Do any s10 folks live in New York?
Finally had success editing, exporting and uploading HDR10+ to Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_oX2Yi5rG4
spent some time messing around with Final Cut Pro settings to get this working.

Video is smooth and clear especially with Gcam.
60 fps video is very laggy. Slowmo in my case is insanely laggy. 5-6 second long freezes. Hopefully Android 10 and RealmeUI will fix it. Otherwise I'll sell this phone
At 30fps 720p and 1080p, look good, but the EIS can't be disabled. Sometimes kindda bit annoying especially when doing panning. 4K the EIS is disabled by default, but I never use it, overkill for my phone screen and consume space to much.
At 60fps, up until RMX1971EX_11_A.16 firmware, it's kindda laggy. Is not pure or locked at 60fps. Feel's like variable frame rate. Image you playing a PC Video Game in 60 Hz monitor, and you turn on V-Sync, but your GPU couldn't handle the frame rate, and give you frame dip or stuttering. That what I saw with 60 fps video recoding in Realme 5 Pro.
Last, for slowmotion, 120fps and 240fps look smooth if you have enough light source. 960fps is not smooth, but I think due it's hardware limitation.
Latest firmware RMX1971_11_C.01 fix the 60fps issue. The video looks smooth. But I facing issue the EIS seem like disabled on 30fps, but it can be fix by clear camera cache and data.
does it support 4k hevc 10 bit videos ? has anyone tested those jelly fish videos in it

60 fps is BETTER but not smooth. Still the are fps drops. Redmi 5 pro for instance (sd636) is very smooth

960fps slomo is a sort of a gimmick mode. It's software-based, meaning it uses 240fps video then slows it down 4x and uses frame interpolation to compensate the missing frames to make it look smoother. However, it results in blurred outlines of moving objects, artifacts, and messy details. Sure it's fun and you can get great shots in perfect conditions(solid color backgrounds), but it looks bad most of the time. 240fps and 120fps are fine, 4k is great, and 1080p60 is awesome, that's my preferred shooting mode. A higher bitrate would be welcome and also the zooming is choppy, i wish it was smooth. I hope 4k60 will be available in future updates but i don't know if the chipset and camera hardware is capable. 9/10 Video quality.

The stock camera only takes 720p 30FPS video. How is this even a thing in 2020?
With Gcam, I was able to go up to 4K 30 FPS, but since I do not know how 4K should look, I do not know whether it was actual 4K.
60FPS crashed.
Edit: It was a mistake. See my next post. Gcam 4K video is terrible tho. I will rather prefer the 720p video.
I was wrong. This camera does have 1080p60 and 4K30. But for some reason last night it was locked to 720p30. No idea why.
Well, same "issue" that many phones seems to have.
Video quality is okay, but the sound of the videos is crappy in many situations.
Don't understand why they doesn't implent a better audio codec...
My experience:
I have Redmi Note 9S. Video stabilization works only in video modes: 720p 30fps, 1080p 30 FPS. When I want to record 1080p 60 FPS, or 4k 30 FPS, video is not stabilized.
