The video capabilities on the OPPO Find X5 Pro are some of the most impressive that we have seen from this series so far. While you're able to shoot brilliant 4K footage with ease, OPPO included a feature for more advanced videographers that will give you more control over the way your footage looks. In the different filming modes available, you'll find the MOVIE option. This mode enabled several different features, but videographers will probably be most excited about the ability to shoot in LOG.
LOG is a filming profile that gives you a greater dynamic range and freedom in post-processing. While shooting your footage you might think that the video looks washed out or a little grey. That is because this footage is meant to be edited using professional software. You'll be able to tweak the color to look exactly how you want. This is the process that all movie footage goes through, in big productions.
Ho to Film in LOG on the OPPO Find X5 ProTo access this great feature, follow these steps:
Open your camera app
Go to MOVIE mode
Toggle LOG on the left menu
When shooting in LOG, all of your manual controls will still be accessible.

Hot to Edit Footage Shot in LOGNow that you have your footage, you'll want to use a professional editing app that will let you adjust the colors of your shot. Avoid using premade filters that tend to be included with smartphone editing software. Instead, try something like Adobe Premiere Rush: Video. Try using LUTs if you're a beginner at color grading, then tweak the look of the video from there.
LOG offers creators more control over their style and the overall result of their video. The addition of this feature to the OPPO Find X5 Pro is fantastic, and you should definitely try it out.
Thanks to OPPO for supporting this thread.

Reason:
¤ having the advanced mobile device with full-colors screen on hand
¤ with dynamic multimedia capicities, video, sounds
¤ and what's up? static ordinary Today Screen, plain background
¤ I want to really improve the impressions
¤ I want to spice my mobile device's interface
¤ ... and surprise my friends, certainly
Purposes:
¤ display background as the live image from camera picture
¤ display highly animated content (25fps) on the top of the above background and play special sound effects
¤ display all daily necessary information on the above content: incl. calendar events, missed phone calls, received messages, weather status
¤ show this interface when the device's power turns up, and start animation
¤ probably: replace the default Today Screen

The project sounds very interesting, and possible with the WM5 camera API that should make camera access standard for all devices.
But wouldn't and app like that eat up a lot of CPU cycles, and slow down the device, especially with the OMAP units? Plus more CPU usage means shorter battery life right?
Any way, I will be following your progress and should some kind of demo/alpha/beta become available, will be happy to test it on my brand new imate jamin.
Good luck with the project! 8)
not Camera API but DirectShow video buffer
No, we cannot use Camera API.
We have to use DirectX and get camera streamed image directly from DirectShow video buffer.
Surprise, it does not slow down device any more. At least until my current observations and measurements. But I just play with this project w few days. But still, a few more problems exist and should be fixed.
Certainly I will update this thread if something will go up.
this sounds like a brilliant project, very gutts'y too because its gotta take ALOT of testing and practice.
All my luck to you
we will be watching
Thanks
JGUI,
I know there are heaps of giid apps by you...I request if u can just advice something which anuimates the gif image in today...that wud be much appreciable
I'd appreciate it if somone with the Xoom would answer this question.
Back in Android 2.01 and earlier builds, the android gallery app had 24 bit color depth. Beginning with 2.1, they downgraded to 16 bit color. As a result, the gallery shows fewer colors and instead of smooth graduated tones you get distinct bands of color. Skies, bacgrounds, etc. look horrible. Here's a visual example of the difference:

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What's puzzling is that they downgraded the gallery app (which, more than any other app should make images look their best), yet the web browser still uses 24 bit color depth. This is the equivalent of the music app making your high quality music files sound like AM radio, while the same file sounds perfect as a ringtone.
All the third-party gallery apps in the market, except for Multi-Touch Gallery (Bread and Butter, or B&B), also use 16 bit color depth. B&B isn't a good soloution because it's buggy, and easily jumps to next and previous image when sliding around a zoomed-in image, and I think it's no longer maintained or supported by its developer.
Additionally, the default gallery down-sizes large image files. I have images that are only roughly 1700 x 2000 pixels that, when I zoom in 1:1 in the gallery look badly pixelated like a low-resolution image. The same file viewed in third-party gallery apps like JustPictures and QuickPic shows the detail when zoomed in.
I don't get why Apple can get this right with the iPhone and iPad, but Google gets it so wrong. They didn't fix these problems with Froyo and they didn't fix them with Gingerbread. As a photographer hoping to use my smartphone and, hopefully, a tablet as a mobile portfolio, that this is fixed in Honeycomb. Can someone confirm?
Anyone know the different by activating mobile bravia engine (or not)? I see it just make no different at all. Just what I am thinking, may be not activate MBE can save more batt life. But this just my thought. Any one can give more acurate informatiom?

i was also testing this and disabling looks like a battery saver (not 100% sure)

I think also disabling it is a battery saver
Wouldn't it only be activated when watching videos or pictures anyway? Can't imagine it taking too much energy when not actually needed...
From a norwegian site, Mobili.no
"This technology improves image quality when viewing movies or scroll through pictures, and are passive when navigating the main menu, write messages or doing other things that do not necessarily demand the highest image quality.
Bravia Engine is not hardware based. We are talking about software that processes your media and make sure we give them the best possible presentation on the screen.
And the image quality, there is nothing to say on. Sony Ericsson Arc delivers stunning quality, and both pictures and photos looks very good on the 4.2 inch screen.
You can however disable the Bravia from the options menu, if you prioritize battery rather than image quality."
It is only effective when viewing multimedia content. I turn it off after I found the screen itself is good enough for me.

So how do you think about the batt after disable mobile bravia engine?

greetings! im still new to these forums (and to the atrix, only had it for a week), but i figured i'd share something that some people might find interesting.
http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free-Video-to-Motorola-Phones-Converter.htm
DVDVideoSoft have been around for a while making a bunch of free video converters for many applications. however, previously it was a bit messy and finicky to make a suitable profile for a particular device since you had to edit the xml file and try to figure out a decent setting for certain vids.
i noticed that a while back they disabled the ability to edit the xml files to create your own video converting profiles, so i stopped using them.
but randomly i figured id give them a go again today. found out that they added a preset editor so we can create our own profiles to suit our motorola atrix.

ive circled the button that allows you to tap into the preset editor.
these are the settings im using to convert for my atrix. 960x540 resolution.
i recommend setting the framerate to 30fps. if your source video is running at less than 30fps, the program will stick to the same framerate as the source video. however, if you set the framerate lower than the source video's framerate, you'll lose frames.
as for bitrate, i havent had much time to mess around with it. 2.5mbps looks pretty, but you should able to go as low as 1.5mbps with minimal sacrifice on image quality, and it will make the file size a lot lower.
with audio bitrate, this is a personal preference. i dont like going below 192kbps, but some people wont notice the difference.
after that, just rename the profile to whatever you'd like, and happy converting.
the program isnt the fastest available, but its simple and works well enough. the videos play well on my atrix using the default video player and look pretty awesome.
enjoy!
Thank ye very much.
Testing now.
It's main test: Softsubs.
Gotta get my anime fix on the go.
Report: Does not work on .ass type softsubs.
In particular the "Superior Auto" mode of our Z3s sucks. With "Manual" it is fixable to some extend, but I feel it's a lot of work and usually you just want to point and shoot (like you can with e.g. an iPhone btw. - my previous iPhone 5s made excellent pics in no time).
So here comes a solution and it might sound surprising: Use VSCO Cam! I did not expect this at all but in my opinion it takes waaay better pics than "Superior Auto". You still can't zoom in and expect a lot of detail, but I like how they come out nevertheless. Here are some samples :

One downside of using VSCO as a default camera is that it does not save to gallery by default and there seems to be no option (yet) to change that in settings. So you have to click on the images and "export" them to gallery. On iOS you actually can change it so it saves to gallery by default - I hope they will offer that on Android soon too.

Nice app, thx
VSCO definitely takes better pictures in my opinion. Here's a comparison below, the top picture is the stock camera on manual mode and the one below it is VSCO with default settings.
