My Moto G can record videos at 60 fps and then play them back at 15 fps for a slow motion effect. It’s a nice feature to have, but the results are very jerky, since its only 15 fps and there isn’t any option to record videos at 60 fps, it always convert the videos to 15 fps after recording. Anyways, I just want to know if I can record my videos at 60 fps? Is there any app that can do that or any other method? Thank you.

What makes you think that its 15fps?
The slow motion effect is caused exactly by the fact that the video is captured at 60 fps and then played back at 30fps.
If you use the video with some more advanced video player like mpchc, you can set the playback ratio to 2x and it will result in normal 30fps playback.
I think you missed his point.
Supposedly when capturing slowmotion video, the moto G captures at 60fps. To achieve slowmotion (half speed) video from 60fps, you'd simply halve the framerate and end up with 30fps slowmo. However, the Moto G only saves slowmo at 15fps.
This means the camera or phone is throwing away half of the frames.

I got the point very well...
I guess they are trying to get better slowmo by dividing the 60 fps captured to 4x15, which gives the result similar to shooting the video in 120fps.
That's a guess tho and best thing would be to ask moto themselves.

I understand that, but my Moto G converts those 60 fps to 15 fps to make the video 4 times slower. What I want is, if my Moto G can record at 60 fps, there must be a way to save that footage at 60 fps and not at 15 fps. As you said, I can play my video at 2x speed, but then I'm only playing it faster to get some smoothness, the video is still saved at 15 fps. And why I want my videos to be saved at 60 fps? Because then I can edit my video in After Effects to really get some smooth slow motion.
For easier explanation the Moto is only capable to record 60 fps. These frames are all saved, but played back at 15 fps, so the video appears in slow motion. If you wanted to have 60 fps in a slow motion effect, you'd have to record at an even higher framerate (e.g. 120/240 fps).
However, if you intend to work on the video in After Effects anyways, theres no point in saving it to 60 fps, which would only mean return the playback to 60 fps / normal time.
You can archive this easily by setting footage interpretation as 60 fps in After Effects.
After that you can slow it down again with AE's internal frame interpolation to get a smoother result :good:
I hate to dig this old thread up, but I also am wondering this same question. The Moto G seems to record at 60fps in slow motion mode before slowing it down to 25% speed, outputting 15fps video. I'm wondering if there's a way to get the phone to record in 720p/60fps straight out of camera.
I need a good opinion regarding what I will try to explain, I have seen many applications that between some have the option to record at 60fps as the application Game Screen Recorder only that when recording and verify the properties of the video shows me 38fps sometimes 32fps my doubt is because it drops a lot the fps I must mention that I have a Xperia X Performance and a Xperia XA Ultra both are of ultras graphics although I used Gltools to modify some adjustments to know if it is due to it but not so some tip so that I recorded the 60fps as it should be although the bitrate I have played and proved many configurations but I do not have the expected results I hope they can help me with... :fingers-crossed:
I'm not sure if there are threads for the 360 mod camera already, but i haven't seen any here on moto z2 play. I just recently got this mod, and very impressed by it. Any way we can use it for other apps or probably used in any videochat app?
I own the mod and a z2 play, while I havent tested on video chat Apps, you can stream to FB (it will be 360 video), and some timer apps do capture with it, once connected it will be available as another camera input, but programs not designed for 360 video will get the flattened out image from the 2 sensors, depending on the app, the super duper extra wide video frame (composite from the 2 sensors) might crash it.
Hi all,
Is there any 60fps video available showing a rooted Essential Phone with the GPU governor settings changed to get rid of slow scrolling jitter?
I saw someone posted on this board (won't let me post the link) a comparison of the phone against a Pixel 2 XL[/URL] showing the problem and I'm wondering if there's another video floating around showing that the jitter is actually fixed or significantly less noticeable.
Thanks!

According to a few devs (AOSiP and others), that doesn't actually change anything.
OK, now I feel like a newb but this is my first Pixel device and the Google camera seems simple enough but I can't find how to set my video framerate to 1080p 60fps. I have it on 1080p and the only options I can find are on the top bar with color temp and flash and all it gives me is Auto and 30fps. Auto seems to go anywhere between 120 and 30 fps, I can't figure out the logic behind how it chooses. I really just want to lock it to 60fps for 1080p. Can someone help me out?
Turn off video image stabilization?

I turned off IS and am still not seeing it, I tried 720p too and nothing but auto and 30fps. Open Camera and Filmic both give me 60fps.
I'm thinking anything over 30 fps is "slow motion" only. Still looking around myself b/c I'd love the 240 fps for videoing my golf swing

The Pixel 2 camera has 240 in slow motion.

Woah. This is a near deal breaker here. I can't seem to find 60fps on my $850 phone.
Update I found the place where you set the framerate, but unlike the Pixel 2 (which shows 30 and 60), the Pixel 3 only shows Auto or 30. W. T. F. This "auto" icon is located in the lower left when in video mode.
For what it's worth, I've gotten near the proper framerate with 3rd party apps. Both Open Camera (free) and Filmic Pro (paid) hit 59.667 on 60fps mode. The proper framerate is 59.94 (60,000/1001). Filmic Pro can do an exact even 60fps too if you force the framerate. I may try to gen some answers from Google directly if I don't figure this out over the weekend.

I tried open Camera, and it looks like 30fps when I force 60fps. It just says about 30.095, Min 22.222 and max 43.103 in Media Info. This is fail.

Was wondering the same thing. Selecting info on a recorded video doesn't show framerate either.

Automatic FPS Switching
First, a new option to automatically switch FPS during video recording has been added. According to a Product Manager that we spoke to at the event, people have trouble deciding what the best framerate is before recording a video. This new feature lets the Google Camera app decide what framerate to record at – either 30 or 60 fps – depending on what’s on screen. The feature can even switch framerates in the middle of a recording. It doesn’t work with 4K videos, though.

Hold the phone horizontal and select video mode. On the lower left corner you will see a little icon "A". Touch this icon and you will see "Auto" or "30fps".

Great, so 30fps is working as intended on an $850 phone. Thanks for finding this gem. Glad I don't have to wait 6 months to a year for this quote from Google to find out it essentially will never be fixed. Hopefully they don't regress on the Pixel 2, because this isn't a improvement in my book. How about Auto, 24, 30, 50, 60 option on an $850 phone?
This is not acceptable.
I want to be able to lock it to 60fps, not to leave Google device the frame rate for me.
Guys, we need to send feedbacks via the Camera app and try to involve the media (@madebygoogle on Twitter).
That's the only thing we can do to hope they'll release an update enabling 60fps selection.

I just confirmed on their support chat that there is no option for 60fps, like we didn't already figure that out. They suggested going to 'settings -> about phone -> send feedback about this device' and sending feedback that way. I am already posting what I can on social media as well. Wish we could get this in the front page of xda.
I just used Open Cam set to 60fps and the Google Cam on auto to record the same scene and I must admit that they look identical. I cannot see the difference with my naked eye.

This is exactly my observation. Which means, this could be a limit of the new hardware and/or part of the Visual Core stuff which might be a harder thing to fix. We shall see how Google responds.
I think it will be "working as intended" or the hardware is limited to auto, because (insert some sort of white wash excuse). I would prefer darker video of 60 fps over brighter 30fps variable frame rate hogwash.
So today at my son's baseball game I used open Cam locked in at 60fps and goggle at 1080 auto and the open Cam video looks choppy and looks like it skipped frames. The Google Cam video looks very smooth like 60fps does. So I'm gonna say that Google Cam does a dang good job of chosing the best fps.
Video recording is an afterthought on the Pixel series. Stabilization is top tier, but everything else (image quality, audio quality, etc) takes a back seat. I'm actually not upset since I rarely ever record videos, and when I do, they are short clips at home that have ZERO production value. I'd be willing to be 95% of consumers are the same way.
Heck, have you noticed how every amateur video that goes viral on the news is shot in portrait mode and not landscape?! #PetPeve
