Hello everyone,
GonnyCam is a burst camera app that compresses and saves frames directly to storage as it captures them, avoiding memory buffer size limits that restrict the number of shots you can take in a single burst.
I've recently updated it to support the camera2 API but I've only tested it on a Nexus 5, so any feedback from people with other devices is very welcome! To access the camera2 features (higher resolutions, basically) you need to go into the options and check "Use Android Camera2". The checkbox will only appear if you have a phone running 5.1.1+ and with the "full" camera2 API implementation.
It supports resolutions up to 1920*1080 on Kit Kat and below. Supports basic colour controls, GIF saving etc.
Search "GonnyCam" in the Google Play store if you're interested. I'd prefer to link directly to an APK but the forum software won't let me sorry.
Nice job :good:

Hi. excellent app!
Unusable on a Dji Osmo Mobile though, as you need to keep the shutter pressed continously.
Could you add an option so that the big red button starts (and then stops) recording?
Then I can stabilize my GIFs on the Osmo

Hi, thanks for trying out my app.
The behaviour you are asking for isn't supported exactly in the current version, but you can do something similar by setting up one of the volume button bindings to "Burst (start/stop)". Then you can get the functionality you want, but using the volume button instead of the big red button.

I'll try that, thanks!
Why can't I film in portrait mode?

I'm not sure what you mean.
If you mean "why can't I take pictures in portrait orientation?", actually, you can. The app uses the accelerometer to choose the correct orientation to save the pictures in. However, on some devices (e.g. if the accelerometer isn't working properly) then it won't work.
If you mean "why don't the UI icons rotate when I hold the device in portrait orientation" it's because I haven't bothered to implement this yet because it's a low priority for me. The pictures will still come out in portrait regardless.
Yes, that works - must have been a glitch on my phones accelerometer when I tried it last night.
Excellent - thanks
Facebook didn't want to play my GIF as GIFanim - just showed the first picture.
I see online that people claim that is because the gif is not in 1:1 format (but 4:3 og 16:9)
Have you experienced this?
Is there a way to "cut down" the pictures to 1:1?

My app doesn't support cropping GIFs to 1:1 as yet but you can use online tools to do this e.g. ezgif dot com slash crop (sorry I can't post links). Or you could try and search for a GIF editing app. Kind of annoying that Facebook doesn't do it for you tbh
I saw this coming across the wire and it piqued my interest... the latest version of Google Photos coming down the pike (v2.13, might be a little before everyone gets it) added a new video editing option; stabilization. Now, I immediately side loaded the update, because I have no patience for such things, and took a peek.
The interface is simple... load up a video, click on the pencil shaped edit button and at the bottom of the screen, you'll see "STABILIZE"
If the video is local, it'll process it then give you the option to preview and then save. At which point you can upload the stabilized video back up to Photos and it'll sit there besides the original (you will see both versions). You can also stabilize videos that are backed up, it'll just download the video locally first.
It works surprisingly well. It seems to use the standard 'crop and process' method that you'll see on something like Youtube, etc. So a discerning eye will be able to see the tell tale wobble of a stabilized video... which you really can't avoid... the lens is moving so there will always be a constant perspective change. But the results are still very impressive.
Pretty slick. The software stabilization on my 6P is OK.... but after playing with this function a bit, I am considering just flipping it off and doing all the stabilization work in post using Photos. This is only available on the Google Photos app itself; you can't load the video up on photos.google.com and edit it. Odd.

Thread Closed.
I currently use my G6+ to do all my video recording work for my YouTube channel. I fell in love with the snap movie mode in the video camera options because it let me record snippets throughout the day and save them all into a short video file so later I can edit on my computer. I have searched and searched and cannot find an app in the play store that can do this. Almost all video apps can record and pause but the moment you close the app or go to home screen or screen off, the current video is automatically saved as a video file and next time you use the app it starts a new video. I don't want 70 different video clips to edit each day, I want an app that can start and stop at the press of a button and keep those recordings in the same video timeline until I am finished to where I can then save as a final video. I really would like to upgrade to the G7 or V35 but from what I understand the snap movie feature was removed.
My reason for using LG phones is the wide angle camera and Snap Movie.
Is it possible to get this feature back with a newer device? Anyone know of an app that can do what I am asking?
Thanks again for the help!
Hi,
First off just want to say I am a long time XDA fan from way back to windows mobile and I am in a bit of a crisis state currently. I have always been anti apple and drank the android phone coolaid forever but I am struggling currently because I have a very strong desire for the live photo feature. (Video before and after every picture I take WITH audio) I know the pixels have motion photo and all that but without sound it is so much less. I have found that camera MX supports this but google photos doesn't detect the live photo aspect of the picture to upload it.
Everyone around me thinks I am going crazy causing I am thinking of putting up with all the things I hate about apple just for the live photo feature. The camera is my number one used item on the phone so that is why I would think of switching. I am a Dad of 3 and love these short videos and take way to may pictures.
Is anyone aware of a way to get google photos to detect camera MX's live shots? Or get audio on google motion photos? Or some other app that can do this?
Not sure if this is posted in the right spot so mods please move if needed...
Hello,
When I shoot video with slow motion option in original camera app, then I go to google photo app, I choose slow motion effect in and out, but when I export on whatsapp or instagram or anything else, it's the whole video that is slowed down... is that normal?
(looking for it seems to me that this is a problem that goes back to pixel 2 already...)
Download it to your phone first and then send it
I had a problem the other week where two short videos I sent my brother through Google Photos continued to say "processing" for him each time he checked for over a week or more. We gave up and they weren't important enough to bother just using Google Drive or any other way.
