I've try unsuccessfully in the past to source either an app or piece of software that will allow me to easily piece together a few clips from video taken on my android device and make into a short movie.
I used to own a fruit phone and imovie was excellent as I could put movie/titles/transitions altogether on the phone and upload to youtube.
I can't find anything like it for the android.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for something that might suit my needs here?
I like been able to shoot some footage with my lovely S3 and it would be great to be able to throw something with photo's/video and complete it with titles and music all from the phone.
Thanks folks.
Anyone?
Would really like to find a decent app that allows me to do the above!

I admit I've been out of the loop on everything now for at least half a year, but I attempted to write a video player for Android utilizing libavcodec/avformat/etc. and get it to an at least workable state a while back and figured it might be of some fun or use to others. It has no real controls (you select a video, it plays, no pause/seek/etc.) but does allow you to do a multi-touch zoom on the video while it's playing - and that's worth something, right?
Although this should run on any modern Android handset, I'm pretty sure I hard coded the screen resolution for the Evo in there somewhere.
There were slight alterations to avcodec to get everything up and running, and obviously I've linked directly to a good bit of code - so if you'd like a copy of the source for the entire program, just ask. For now I'm putting the upload off since it's quite a large amount to upload
You can find the apk for it here: http://cjmovie.net/MediaPlayerX.apk
It starts out with the directory listing of /sdcard. Use the .. at the top to navigate to a parent directory, not the back button. You can pan the video around by using two fingers and not moving your fingers relative to each other. Scale similarly, although if you don't move your fingers apart fast enough it'll assume you don't want scaling and you'll have to try again.
Also opens still-frames (so jpg, png, etc.) and lets you multi-touch zoom around on them.
It's very crash happy, but I've never had it cause any problems other than needing to re-open the app. YMMV
VPLAYER
Thanks for all the hard work your putting into an app as development is essential to this community. I do believe though that there is an app on the market that is similar to what your working towards/looking for. It's called VPLAYER and it's free on the MarketPlace and i've yet to find a file type that it will not play. I use AndTorrent a lot and it has been able to play every download i've ever had. Anyways, hope this is what your looking for and if not sorry for wasting space on your post. PEACE
would like to see this in a finish product.
like someone else said above, vplayer in the market already plays most any file type (admittedly without the panning or zooming features). I don't know if it's possible, but what would really make your app stand out is if you could get it to see and play media files on a shared drive over a home network. Just a thought.
Kudos though - it must have been a pita to develop.

+1 on this.
I was hyped for Rockplayer and then realized it wouldn't do subs for the anime I watch.
Have a few questions about Screencasting, and I really couldn't find a definitive answer, so I knew this was the best place to ask...
I review Android Games & Apps for a site, and normally when I need a video I'll just youtube link it. I try to find Indie games, and review things a lot of folks might miss and unfortunately you can't always find a video available.
I know there's a modded version of Shootme! floating around, and it worked well but the quality wasn't really that great for some games I tried it on another big drawback was the lack of sound. Are there any other programs to try, or another way to go about it? Anything that does sound out there?
I've seen some very professional looking videos with audio and flawless video playback by some of the big dev companies so I know it can be done, just not sure how to do it. I know I could record the gameplay with a video camera like a lot of people do, but I'd prefer to keep my fingers out of the picture and literally just do a screencast with audio.
It might not be feasible, but I thought I would ask as it's been bugging me for awhile now. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

AFAIK: for anything above 10 fps framerate, you probably need another solution like a video (HD) capture card + an Android device with (m)HDMI-out.
So i was thinking, what if someone made an app which displayed an android that dances very rhythmically to music played on a device, and differently to each song played. By this, i don't mean an android that simply swings it's hips, but does flips, twirls, claps, winks and jumps, all when necessary, and keeps to the rhythm and beat of the music; the dancing would be equal to the choreography used in music videos, and would not use some cheap "dancing skills". I would make this app myself, but i have no experience in writing software. If anyone would like to use this idea to develop, please let me know, as I have no problem in restricting its development because it's my idea (if there is such a thing) but i would like to know if it is being made is so I can download it myself! Thank you all for viewing my idea
Hello,
I bought my 8 year old a 9.7" android tablet.
I would like to get him an app or some way for him to listen to audiobooks and read along with the audio.
When he gets tired from reading, he could just listen to the audio and when he doesn't want the audio, he could just read himself.
I would like to emulate the experience of me reading to him pointing with my finger at the text, where we are right now, so he gets more familiar with the words.
I let him play a lot of Civilization 5 and give him advice on what to build etc, which makes him have to read 90% of the time he actually thinks he's just playing
I'm just trying to make reading a more enjoyable and less tedious experience for him because oftentimes he reads the letters, but can't figure out the word, it's supposed to be, especially when their foreign words.
I'd appreciate any advice you guys might have.
Just play the audiobook mp3 while the e-book is on screen. Almost all Android tablets support multi-tasking, so even when you switch to the view of the book, the mp3 will still be playing. This would not require any additional resources that the tablet does not already come with.

That's of course possible, but when you're not THAT good at reading yet, it's hard to find the exact line of the text, where the audio is. So, I don't know, something similar to Karaoke would be cool.
It'll especiallyhard, when you want to pause or start again, switching between the apps, without a hard button to push or to go back a few seconds or a paragraph
Yesterday I recorded videos with my phone. Today I wanted to watch them and I could watch two videos but I couldn't watch the third video. When I try to open it with the Albums app it says that "Cannot play video. Invalid URL." when I try to open it with Google photos app it just says that "Can't play video.". The video is in mp4 format and was recorded with my Sony Xperia Z2 running stock rom and not rooted. The three videos were recorded the same way. How can I recover that video? If you need more details just ask them. Please help!
Its probably not recoverable, that error you got suggests the video was from the web, a URL is usually for a web address. See if there is somewhere online that you were viewing videos on or an app that you may have viewed/downloaded a video in, see if you can view it like that.
can someone help?
If you can't view it then its corrupted, a corrupted video can't be fixed unless you're willing to tear the file open and manually edit each bit so that it shows all the video and audio that you want it to, if you've got a few months to play around with it. You'd have to fix every bit and piece from start to finish to make sure it plays right and shows what you originally recorded. That's no easy thing even for those that do it every day, it takes a lot of trial and error and extensive knowledge, you'd basically be computer generating all the missing pieces then you've got to get it to blend in so that it plays correctly. Its only ONE video, I hope it wasn't a really important one because unless you know how to piece it back together like a forensic scientist its gone for good, but I'm guessing that you don't have that kind of knowledge or you would have already done it, its been this long and you haven't fixed it and noone is answering so I'd say you're out of luck, give up on that ONE video and move on. Just saying I really think you're wasting your time.

ok, I couldn't do anything with it so I haven't wasted my time, but it was a good video, but not so important
