[Q] Is there an app to record and edit video in slow motion? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I want to know if there is an application that works like the iphone 5S slow motion function.
I love it, but I still want my nexus 5.
Thanks

Unless you had an android specifically with camera built in slow-motion to take the video, it is not possible unless you get a 3rd party app that can do that (don't know if one exists yet that will work). But you can try the app AndroVid to see if it works for you. Says you take the video using regular camera app and then this app will convert your video to slow-motion. No a direct in camera feature but may work for you.

The new Lollipop 5.0 API has opened up the camera function so that the speed of the camera can be discovered and then if it supports a faster frame rate (AKA slo-mo) then it can be used. There is a guy who is trying this with this beta(?) camera app: https://github.com/PkmX/lcamera
Please try it as the guy has done some work with the 5 and 6. I would like to know if it works. I tried it on a nexus 10 and the app crashed/wouldn't open. But then again I doubt the camera on a nexus 10 supports fast frame rates.

Camera question

I'm a little confused as to what's supposed to happen with this dng camera format. Like is google gonna update there camera app in the play store so it supports dng and the extra features? Or will we have to use this L camera thing I'm using from github? Or does google own l camera and it's still in testing? Like what exactly is supposed to happen here, someone just clarify this please.

Yea I have the same question , it's good that you asked this. I think camera app will be available in a few weeks because they need to optimize it ... It's just a guess but the thing I didn't like in that GitHub camera is that I can't view picture after I took it, I need to manually go to gallery app ... also 4K is available only in 4:3

You should try this:
1. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.lite
2. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.magix.camera_mx
But on non sense based roms quality of photos will be very poor due to missing htc image chip libs (drivers) in non sense based roms.
Thank you,
Going to test both.
Why it's a so big problems to get these drivers? Why HTC don't give them like we can see in PC world ?

In the old time, you really need a stock camera to get the best quality out but I think now some of 3rd party apps actually done a good job without dedicated ISP like Snap Camera HDR(also supports video recording on our phone [email protected] 20Mbit).
I've been tested it(just a couple of days before) on One S and found result isn't bad for a non-stock camera, the older ver of Snap Camera HDR is bad quality but recent ver does improved much. I actually think that the quality is real close to stock but the zero shutter lag function doesn't seems to be working on our phone and buggy, don't enable it. I set the JPEG quality to best, disabled preview cropping, turn the sharpen to 10~ 15 from 5(default is too soft) and you may also want to enable Stable Shot as well.

Playstore ver only available to 5.4 while the latest one on XDA is 6.3

Some guys also reported CameraNext Modded is a good camera on CM12, maybe give it a try too.

[Q] What camera app are you using on your idol3?

Google Camera? Camera Zoom FX? The default? What's working for you?
Same question here, stock camera is okay, but is there another app that will save to SD card beside stock

I use the stock app for videos, OpenCamera for stills, Freedcam for landscapes using RAW mode , and Google Camera - if I want panorama or photo-sphere.
'A Better Camera' - will save to SD card. It is pretty nice - but I uninstalled it after I realized that the free version had a limitation of number of HDRs pictures it allows.

Using stock, OpenCamera, A BetterCamera. I like OpenCamera except it doesn't yet support writing to external SD.
My main complaint with the stock camera is that it seems to only support two resolution settings (and I am guessing they are the really the same resolution, just one is cropped to make 16:9 aspect ratio). Am I missing something? Is there a way to take lower-resolution photos (e.g. for web posting or faster email upload) using the stock camera app?
I use Camera FV-5.

Does it allow saving to the external sd on lollipop? As far as I know only the stock camera allows that.
Camera FV-5 I found does not work for some reason on the Idol. I start the camera and get a black screen. I do get the settings but nothing else but a black screen. I going to contact app developer soon about it.
The best camera so far (for any device) it's procapture because: it can silent all the sounds (except those in whats app), it can put the grip on and it can capture just by touch. Besides theese, there are many-many other settings as wb, iso, hdr, light mode etc

Your phone has to support Google's Camera2 API in order for the app to even function. Right now only a few devices even support the official Google Camera2 API. The ones I know of are: Nexus 6, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Samsung Galaxy S6, LG G4. Since the camera hardware is the same as my Nexus 6, I'd expect this app to just work, but Alcatel's software side probably isn't even written with Camera2 API in mind.

Is there any chance S8 be able to shoot [email protected]?

Well title says it all, Is there any chance S8 variants be able to shoot [email protected]fps or is it a chipset limitation from SD/Exynos?
It's something i really liked in iPhone so I'd love to see it if there's any work around.. I know it supports [email protected]fps but I'm not interested in that.
You are mixing Hz to FPS. They are not the same.
You can read more about the differences between them here: http://www.avadirect.com/blog/frame-rate-fps-vs-hz-refresh-rate/
But to your question, the Galaxy S8 phones can only capture 1080p with 30 and 60 FPS. But it can capture 240 FPS in 720p.
Technically it should be able to, i remember on my nexus 5 there was a hack that allowed the phone to record [email protected] and also [email protected] But the nexus 5 was an aosp phone, so the sources were easily available.

That's what I'm thinking also.. If it's not a limitation of the chipset it could probably be bypassed with an app, even if you need root access to do it.. That's why I asked..
In my iphone 7 plus that I had before I could shoot @120fps with a program and also increase dramatically the bitrate of video,that's why I asked. Curious to see why is there the limitation (is it s/w or h/w related)
I don't think so
Try open camera app

Camera app? I can't find anything relevant on the play store. You don't mean the default camera app right? Because this is what I'm talking about it's limited to 4k and 1080p/60fps or 720p/240fps
It is called "open camera" just search that on the playstore you can alter many many settings within the app for the camera but it takes a knowledge of photography to essentially know how it works I'd say...

That's wired it worked perfect for me

Camera app alternative

Can someone recommend non stock app for photo and video with pro settings?
I am bored of stock non logical options....
Time lapse without settings etc....
I'm trying the most recommended Open Camera, but it has horrible shutter lag. I may try Footej Camera or Manual Camera, but I wish they fixed the huawei camera app. I expected much more with Pro settings.

As I use my tablet camera day by day in my job, I can recommend you "A better camera", which takes really great images. (Your mileage may vary here though, on some smartphones and / or Android versions unfortunately this doesn't run very stable, also gets updates and bugfixes pretty rarely.)
Besides that, I really like Camera MX, quick, good image quality and a lot of nice filters. I don't use these daily, but nice to have nonetheless.
Best camera app imo is the "Google camera" btw, which I use on my P20 Lite. BUT this app is very picky in where and how it is able to run.
But there are a ton of modded apks out there making Google camera run on most actual devices. (Needs Android 7+, but 8+ highly recommended)
I can't use it in my job unfortunately, as we all use Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, stock Android 7 and Camera API v1, Google cam not working.
hello sir, i have a p20 lite may i ask for the apk of the gcam u are currently using i still have no luck in getting the most stable one
