MotionCam | The Future of Android Videography (and photography)

[@CSnrgy]

I’m glad you’ve made this video, I’ve been championing motioncam since it’s release and the more attention it gets the better

[@ShibiChan]

I can't believe I wasn't aware of it sooner. An absolute game changer, especially for those who know how to utilize raw video

[@CSnrgy]

@@ShibiChan Honestly. The addition of ProRes to the App as well is great, though I’ll always prefer Raw DNG for the higher quality despite the headache it is to use.

[@AndroMatthew]

Motioncam changed my life. I basically stopped caring so much buying new cameras and I basically use my phone for everything at work.

[@sidneyani2584]

Can you edit the footage with phone based editing apps like CapCut

[@khalilhines5065]

​@sidneyani2584 good question. It honestly depends. Forgive my ignorance as I'm still new to this but currently I'm using mcpro24fps to shoot footage. When importing to capcut, it compresses the footage. Even though the footage looks great (especially of u shoot at a higher bitrate), it'll take the quality from 4032x3024 to 2880x something.. so while it looks great there's still alot of heavy compression. I'd assume it'd treat raw footage the same

[@sidersproductions941]

Nah man now we need you to shoot a cinematic video on the Vivo in ProRes and show the Apple guys we have great video on Android too.

[@ShibiChan]

I can try! Lol

[@nokiaairtel5311]

I hope the new Blackmagic camera app for Android(set to release soon) offers log/raw video capabilities, because that will be a game changer

[@ShibiChan]

I didn't even know that was coming, I'll look out for it

[@pallmallpaprika]

im waiting too

[@johnbarner]

I have the blackmagic app, no raw files yet but in a future update. I will say it is still a must have. Makes my stock camera look "cinematic" with no effort.

[@nokiaairtel5311]

I already bought the MotionCam app for $38 last month. Now if BMC app introduces RAW recording that will be real good because the UI is top notch

[@danielosetromera2090]

Great video, more and more people are discovering this incredible app.

[@raverider2327]

I will definitely buy this app, thanks for being super clear & easy to understand how the motion cam pro works 👌

[@ShibiChan]

Devs have been great lately as well, tons of new updates even since this video

[@raverider2327]

​@@ShibiChan More motioncam pro videos please 🙏

Which version are you using? Where do you download it? The version I was using when I finished the recording was too heavy. I see your record is very light in size ^^

[@ShibiChan]

On the download page in the app store, you can opt into being a beta tester, and that's what I recommend. It depends on the shooting mode and device that you're using! HEVC 8-bit with a lower bit rate is going to be the easiest for devices to handle

[@clueno4426]

I'm using 10bit hlg HDR but it looks faded and washed out

[@clueno4426]

At 160mbps

[@yoganshbhatt]

Amazing! Good content with good quality!

[@ShibiChan]

Thanks for watching!

[@DQ4rk]

Good video. Ive been using the app for some time. Small tip- Don't forget to lock exposure when taking video. Exposure jumps too often even during constant light conditions and its visible on the video as well.

[@sapelir]

In your opinion, is Motioncam Pro better than Videography Pro and Photography Pro (sony apps)?

[@ShibiChan]

I think it's a yes and no at the moment. I think they're targeted a little differently. For video, for actual cinematographers, MotionCam is by far better. But for people who do more quick turnaround, KZbin, things like I do, the pro app is likely better. MC has yet to implement any sort of more robust AF features like face tracking. The UI is also a bit less refined in MC in my opinion. The difference is, that MC is a single guy, and he's already done this much. He has to keep multiple different brands and levels of device in mind as well. Sony for sure has more than 1 person working on it, and only has to focus on a few devices. So I think with time, MC will loom over all OEM options. Just a matter of time. For photography I like MC because it offers things like raw video streams, which allows you to record 1-2 seconds of video, and you can pull true raw frames from it. This is useful for tons of reasons, like dynamic scenes or panning. It's literally the equivalent of 30fps raw shooting. But again, less robust AF. MC also offers temporal noise reduction, so it can use frames before and after the one you choose to help mitigate noise. You can also apply LUTs in-app to speed up editing. But Sony's apps are more user friendly at the moment in terms of UI. This comment is the least cohesive thing I've written all month, but I hope this answers it lol

[@cmoneytheman]

In 5 or 10 years we know phone cam will be even better so better results with motioncam, the quality will keep getting better with the app since cams in phone will keep upgrading you already know motioncam results will keep getting better since phone cams will keep upgrading. Since motion has been out, newer phones have come out that show a difference from an earlier series model. S25 is coming that will be sharper and clearer than S24,S24 is sharper and clearer than S22 and S20,The model I have s20fe is less sharper and less clear than S22-24. Just imagine how much more detail the S40-50 will have using a monster program like Motioncam. I'm glad to witness history. To me motion when compared to stock or any other phone cam app looks like dslr quality compared to a phone cam

[@ShibiChan]

@@cmoneytheman MotionCam is the future! The fact that one person has made this app, really puts OEM dev teams to shame

[@cmoneytheman]

@@ShibiChan do you agree to everything I said? Or is it something wrong

[@CanaldoOTA]

Nice! Is this program solve the Android problem with shifting esposure, even with lock exposure in pro mode(in most phones)?

[@ShibiChan]

I think the best way to avoid that is using your device's "pro mode" and setting shutter speed and iso manually!

[@devada4360]

Can you please tell me how to zoom on this app, I love everything but can't I really zoom on a raw video using this app? :/

[@xedok3077]

If I save it as ProRes the file appears empty in the gallery. Why?

[@ShibiChan]

@@xedok3077 I don't think many mainstream video players support viewing it, like google photos. If you offload the file to a computer and pull it into Davinci Resolve for example, it should show properly

[@albertoyape2976]

Great video 🙌🏻

[@cestvraimenthorrible3465]

I tried the app on the sony Xperia 1 mark 4. It mostly crashes when try to snap a pic. Can this app take bracketed photos of different exposures and merde them into one HDR or its just about raw and prores video?

[@ShibiChan]

I think Xperia tend to face more issues than most other devices, thanks to a lot of issues on Sony's end, sadly. It doesn't have a built-in bracketing mode or HDR merge mode either. I would think Sony would natively have this in its "pro" apps, however it doesn't either

[@cestvraimenthorrible3465]

@@ShibiChan They first need to figure how to make a decent flash light. The one added is simply a joke...oh well. Thanks for the answer

[@hamidrastin5895]

Thank you for the tour. I'm wondering if you can go beyond 30 fps and shoot in 60fps as well?

[@ShibiChan]

Some devices can! Which is absolutely crazy to think about

[@hamidrastin5895]

@@ShibiChan yeah I've heard that. So what about your X100 pro. Can it do 60fps?

@@ShibiChan it’s basically an app that can let you record video using multiple lens at the same time but the apps only available on IOS.

Hey, Longtime MotionCam user here, you can turn your DNGs into Blackmagic DNGs.

Oh really? Is that native within the app or a separate process?

Android 15 will allow 3rd party apps acess all camera features via camera2! Add to that, Blackmagic will release an app for Android.

[@alejandroxplres]

nice app but hope vivo releases hrd video mode or log in the app no liking to pay jajaja

[@danielguerrero1438]

Have used the app before but I find videography pro in the Pro-i much better but maybe it because I'm used to it

[@ShibiChan]

I think in the case of Sony Xperia, you're better off sticking with the native apps. Things like eye tracking aren't supported. The biggest caveat being that Sony embeds vignette correction in their raws, so if you're doing things like astro, MotionCam may be a better option

[@cmoneytheman]

I did more tests this morning compared to 400mb to 1200 mb, and the difference is very small; a person needs to zoom in and nitpick to see the difference, so I would say 400 mb is the max at which it shows a good jump from 230 mb, so I suggest a person stick to 400mb. directlog
