[Question/Feature Request] Creating Thumbnails - MX Player

I really like the ability to create thumbnails for your videos by inserting a picture into the same folder as the video and giving it the same name. This is a 2 part post.
Question: What is the exact aspect ratio that the app crops to? This way I can make thumbnails that fit perfectly in the preview.
Request: It would be great if you could pause the video, hit the menu button and in the options was an option to create a thumbnail of the frame you are on with the built in ratio and everything. I know this is a pretty specific feature and I am find with screen capturing and creating my own thumbnails but I figure I would give this a mention.

pic wallpaper

When I try to use a pic from my gallery as a wallpaper it makes me crop it and the pic is all distorted looking. Is there a way to use the whole pic?
You can have the image appear in higher resolution if you use justpictures and adjust the maximum display resolution in the app settings. Cropping is still required due to size differences between pics and wallpapers.
The app also allows you to include, facebook, picasa, etc so all your photos are easily accessed.

photos dont show full screen

i made some photo's in 3d on the o3d, but in gallery they wont show fullscreen. how can i fix this? i ofcource want to view the 3d on the full screen size.
What do you mean by not full screen? Pictures are taken in a 4:3 aspect ratio so you will always have black bars on the sides.

Can you explain whats the problem?
You will always have black bar on sides since the photos are cinverged to give stereoscopic 3d effect.
we stil do not have 3d steroscopic viewers in android market and until that happens we cant see the full screen you want.
Ofcourse O3D does not support portrait 3d.
However even if you take 2d photos they will have black bars on sides. So this is a viewer issue.

Ofcource? On the evo 3d portrait 3d works...although its not the greatest way.
And the black bars are not required for the 3d effect. I think its the camera app that does something with the photos made...wich makes it with black bars in the gallery.
Hmm.. I downloaded stereoscopic gallery from market. Has many options. Choose lg real 3d and it shows the pics with same effect. black bars.
Its the ratio factor of the camera.
photos are 4:3, the screen is nearer 16:9, the black bars are meant to be there, if they weren't you would have some of the picture cropped off from the top and bottom and it would be a lower resolution
I for one do not want this. Keep it as it is!

i dont understand...the evo 3d makes photo's with less megapixels and they fill the complete screen and resolution....
at least it could be modified so the image is zoomed in a bit?
i do not want those black bars even if the photo quality goes back a bit.
The aspect ratio is more relevant than the resolution. Photo's are taken in a standard 4:3 aspect ratio for printing purposes. Hell, if you take pictures in the native screen resolution they would be 16:9 and thus fullscreen but would only be 0.4 megapixel. The Evo3D either takes photo's in a 16:9 aspect ratio or crops pictures to fit the entire screen.
Since you can't change the aspect ratio and you can't zoom in the gallery your only options would be to find an app with which you can crop pictures on your phone or transfer them to your pc, crop them in something like Photoshop and put them back on your phone. You can use the built in image editor but the problem is you can't specify an exact ratio so you have to crop by sight which can be a bit tedious. Once you got the right spots though it's not that hard.
Take a picture, then choose Edit (Bewerken, bottom option in the left menu). When you're in the editor you choose Edit (Bewerk) again from the left menu (top option) and then pick the Choose (Kies) option (left option). Now you have a rectangle in the center of the image. Stretch the rectangle to fit the entire picture by touching a line and dragging it in the right direction. Then you take the top of the rectangle and drag it down five steps. Do the same with the bottom but drag it only four steps. Then choose Crop (Bijsnijden) from the right menu (middle option) and save the image. You should now have a perfect fullscreen image.

The image viewer is the real problem for watching 3D images. I have saved the 3D images as jpg in my computer and edited with photoshop increasing the height of the image to suite 16:9 resolution. To be precise the resolution I kept for the edited image was 4096 x 2304 and saved the image as jpg file again. Now when I watched the image in 3DTV (LG cinema 3D 47")it was perfectly filling the screen with good clarity as a side by side format. I opted the 3D option for side by side format. The 3D experience for the image was really nice with a full screen one 3d image. Now I tried to watch it with my handset Optimus3D. There when I opted for 3d side by side format, the instrument combined bothe left and right side images to a single images keeping 2 broad black borders on both the side. Now with the experiment I find that the 3d image viewing programme in the handset is not properley done for watching full screen mode. Camera is not at all a problem. I think LG will have to look in to this for rectifying the same in the forthcoming firmware updates...
thanks
That's strange. When I crop the images on the phone to the same resolution as you they're displayed fullscreen in the image viewer.
What happens when you change the extension back to jps?

[Feature Request] Internal Capture

I don't know if the title is appropriate for this request.
I mean MX Player would be better with a button to capture a shot from a video.
Why need an internal capture when Android OS already has a capture feature?
Because capture in Android OS simply interprets what is shown on the screen and saves it and I think the interpretation process is unnecessary because the data is already included in the video file. (I don't know much about video encoding/decoding, so if im wrong sorry for my ignorance on the subject) The resulting image is poor in quality and most importantly takes up TOO much space. If I capture the same scene on the same video by video playing programs (KMP, etc), I get better capture image small in size also(as much as 20 times smaller).
Another problem with Android capture is that ads (I don't know the free version still shows ads when tje video is paused) or soft-keys (although it can be hidden by the app) can be captured together.
And finally, capture is done not considering the size of the video. Android merely captures the screen as shown, the captured image's resolution is the same to the device's screen's resolution, which is a problem when playing videos with higher or lower resolutions or when the video's height-width ratio is different to that of the device's screen(4:3, 16:10, CinemaScope, etc).
So, I think it would be wonderful if you would consider including an internal capture feature in the app.
I think you're working on Frame-by-Frame feature, so I guess it can be related to that.(again, sorry if Im wrong)
Im always happily using MX Player for years and I appereciate your efforts. :laugh:

From your description it looks like you looking for trimming feature. There are many apps are available in Google Play which can trim the video without recoding. It will do the job as you are expecting.

Yes, I'm aware that there are lots of video trimming/frame break and capturing/editing apps available. But I was just thinking that it would be nicer to have a capturing (I believe it is different from trimming, since capturing is about extracting just one frame out of the video while trimming is extracting multiple continued frames and merging it) feature included in the MX Player so that I can easily watch a video and capture "a" frame without opening another app while watching a video. It is not a big and urgently needed feature, but it would make things more easier.

It's my mistake. Apologizes for that. I have misunderstood the word Capture.
Anyway I will convey your request about frame extraction/capture feature to the developer.

Hey, from my personal experience I can tell you that Alight Motion app is the best video edition apk for your android device. Most of the video editing apk on the market now are heavy and not specially designed for android. But Alight Motion is a very handy, lightweight tool. You can just select a video from your phone's gallery and start editing. It will take very little time to complete editing. Thousands of graphical elements and fonts make it very comfortable for the users. You can download and learn a lot from the link.

[APP][5.0+] Video from single Picture by Panning & Zooming

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.photo3dlab.pzpic
Hello, I made an Android app that makes video from a single picture by panning and zooming. App name is PZPIC meaning "Pan & Zoom in a PIC".
This video effect is known as "Ken Burns effect" and I think almost all video maker software have this effect. But they are probably not so easy to use.
I made PZPIC so everybody can use this video effect easily.
I made a short how to use video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlsV8q52sBE
How to use:
Select a picture from gallery
Select an aspect ratio of video to be made
Select a keyframe in the picture by panning & zooming the red rectangle
Press plus button to add the keyframe
Select delay for the keyframes
(optional) Select music for the video
Save as MP4
This app has a full screen ad when user saves video (mp4). This app has one time In-App-Purchase that removes the Ad and watermark and enables HD 1080p.
I will be more than happy to hear any thoughts, criticism, questions, or ideas.
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.photo3dlab.pzpic
Thanks,
