CAMERA: Video Quality

Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Note5 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

My recording format of choice is 1080p 60fps, and for some reason, the Note5 struggles with it. Like it'll drop frames randomly while shooting, almost every time I use this format. But 1080p 30fps is fine and so is 4k 30fps. There is a video stabilization option (which strangely isn't turned on by default) that automagically smooths out even the most insanely choppy video (I tried running with the phone), but it only works in 1080p 30fps.

Overall videos work great and come out super clear, but what I have noticed is that when you record in slow motion, the video quality drops significantly.

VIdeo is one of the best. It beats my LG G4 in this comparison test I did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SZ7hu_7txg

Have any of you tried high-bitrate recording on this device yet? There's an app that allows you to go up to 200Mbps.

without the external sd feature on this phone like in previous version of note series. i have no confidence using video shooting on this phone beside setting in 1080 uhd and video recording consume a lot of megabytes in the internal memory. significantly slows down the phone.

I don't shoot a lot of video, oh wait that's a lie. UMM I did shoot a lot of video when I first bough my phone. Just lately I have not. I shot a lot of selfie vids and normal vids using messenger, standard text message app and snap chat. The quality looked excellent according to my girlfriend. The vids looked fantastic, good quality on her iphone 6s. I know I should have posted this in the picture quality thread, but it's nice to take photo's while your taking a video. That's pretty much it, the battery did drain a lot from using my phone heavily on recording videos and selfie videos for my girlfriend. But she never complained about the quality, like the picture quality, she was jealous that her iphone 6s quality wasn't as good

Why can't record 1080p with 60fps?

Why is this not available on the newest version of nexus line?
If you pick a other app, is then possible to record 1080p 60fps?

Technically speaking the Snapdragon is capable of processing 1080 @ 120 FPS, however there may be either a hardware limit on the sub-processor of camera (haven't even looked if there was one). As far as I can see from the kernel source posted on AOSP there is a high media profile for [email protected] fps and [email protected], Theoretically you might be able to just create another entry in the profile to enable it.

I'm very very interested to this discussion! The last nexus 6 was 100% capable of recording fullhd videos @60fps but Google disable that function and nobody know why, I was absolutely sure that in this nexus 6p that record mode would be present! There are no reason why it should be disabled, who cares if I can record a bird at 240fps (in slow motion), how many times somebody use this functions? One in a month?
How many instead make some (normal) videos? Maybe two/three times a week or even more and recording @ 60fps instead of 30fps is like day and night! Damn Google.

Why would you ever want to record 1080p videos @ 60fps? You would never be able to tell the difference from from 30fps. The human eye can only see about 42-45 fps. If you shoot a video at 60fps it is actually going to look unnatural. Most that shoot 60fps do so only because they intend to slow it down to 30fps in post production.
30fps is the standard and it is rare to shoot video at higher frame rates. In fact, shooting at 60fps would reduce your shutter speed requiring more light to get a quality video.

Because 60fps looks a lot better - obviously.
I don't know how you, or anybody can even come close to thinking the 30 frames per second is OK when you have the option of 120 and 240.
Have you never seen a YT video with 60fps!? Yeah... You're blind if you can't see the difference. It makes no sense for Google to have those very high frame rate options but still not have 60 frames per second at 1080p.
Also, no, you are wrong about people slowing down 60 frames per second video. You would slow down 120 or 240, yes, but nobody in their right mind would use 60 frames per second down to 30 in today's world. You would just use the 60 frames per second video because it looks a lot smoother.
You sound very ignorant in your post. Nearly all of what you said is bull****.

PS: you can clearly see the difference between 30vs60 and you can see a little difference at 120fps

I can definitely say that I can see it. Between 30fps and 60fps. Soooo much smoother and crisp. If you look a sample on youtube. You only want 60 fps.

The human eye does not "view" at around 2000fps, it doesn't actually see in any fps while viewing the natural world. The human eye sees things live, as in ~fps. Those of us with good eyesight can definitely see the screen refresh on lower rates like 60fps. My TV is 1080p hd @ 50hz (which is not fps) & its gotten so painful to watch it, that I am considering a new TV. When you watch a 60fps video on a 50hz TV, the refresh rate & the frames of the video don't coincide & make the experience jumpy. 30fps looks better because the fps is slower than the refresh rate.
On our 2k phone screens however 30fps looks jumpy because the resolution is higher & our eyes are trying to view it in the same manner as we view the natural world.

I actually studied photography and film extensively in college as it was my major. It is true that 30fps is standard and 60fps would look awkward. There are some human eyes that notice changes up to 200fps but those are basically jet pilots, the exception not the rule. No human eye would be able to notice 2,000 fps. That is not possible. Lastly, set your camera to 240 fps and see how everything gets darker. That isn't a lie. It is a fact that high frame rates will result in darker, noiser videos because they require more light.

60 fps is not a good speed to shoot at. Especially in a sensor without IS. You will get more jitter in your video. I produce video for a living, as In it is my job and I do it daily. You dont EVER record in 60 fps unless you are capturing very fast action or are intending to slow it down. And when you record in 60 FPS, you always export it at 30 fps or 25 fps from Premier pro of Final cut, whatever you use.

All I know is that on my Note 4, I only record at 60fps 1080p and wow does it ever look better then anything I've ever recorded in 30fps.

Delete.

Photography and videography are not the same.
60fps is better than 30fps for any and all reason regardless of whatever you think you know - nobody agrees with you if they've seen 60fps video. It's day and night, and if you read anything from YT users, gamers, normal humans, they all say 60fps is better - in any scenario.
Back on point, however, still mind blown that this wasn't included with the camera.
I use Premier Pro and After Effects, and 60fps is my only export option - I wouldn't even consider lower unless it was SHOT lower, but never is. Look at my YT page. Nothing under 60fps once I had my hands on a camera capable of 60fps. I practice what I preach.
I would NEVER shoot 60 fps video with an intention to slow it down, that's stupid - that's what 120/240fps are for - those are to be slowed down.
60 fps is for normal viewing speed - anything higher is OK to slow down, but 60 down to 30 - no thanks. That's just a waste of good 60fps footage.

Any one tried snap camera on N6P yet? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055140

I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic or not , but I can tell you 100% that a human eye can see beyond whatever you have stated. I game on a 144hz monitor , and yes I could tell and feel the difference between 30/60/144.
Back on topic , I found it very weird already when the Galaxy s6/note 5 with the fast processor not being able to record in 240fps . Also , I've noticed slow motion inconsistencies regarding the 6p's 240fps , some youtube videos look buttery smooth , some looks like some slideshow. No idea what's causing this , any thoughts?

Don't assume what others would find awkward. Guessing a lot like it since Google allows those to see it on Youtube. Even besides that, you say you can't see it or its "awkward". Okay. Me and plenty of others like it and can see the difference. Videos are not dark looking when I record ALL my videos with my iPhone.
Sad to see Google didn't include this with this latest Nexus device.

Slow motion @720p on Moto g4 plus?

I used oneplus camera 1.5 October build and the slow motion it record is at 720p 10mbps
On comparing with stock camera when you record slow motion in low light you will see the difference in quality
and detail.
These are the screenshot
Edited :In mx player it is playing in 30 fps it means it is not slowed down like stock

Of course, but it's still just 30FPS. Slo-mo captured with stock camera is also saved with 30FPS but it's already slowed down. I've captured 2seconds of video and the video from OnePlus camera is [email protected] while that from Motorola is [email protected]

Mi mix 2s is it possible record 1080p 60fps?? Some bloger gizmo chia said. 60fps possible but officail site spec is [email protected] only support 30fps record. So if u have mi mix 2s can u try record 1080p( Fhd) resoulution video record 60fps? I wanna know exactly true information about 1080p video camrea up to fps. There is no hands on review information .
Plz check 1080p @ 60 fps . can record check plz : )

With the xiaomi camera app you can only record 1080p with 30fps but you can make slowmotion videos with 240fps. I just downloaded open camera and set the fps to 60fps but it still recorded with 30fps. I saw a video from a guy who recorded with 60fps but I can't find it on youtube anymore... he was walking through a shopping mall or something. If you find it just tell me and I can check the app/settings he used.
Edit: Found it. But he was talking about 4k... However, I was not able to get 4k with 60fps with open camera app too

thank u for reply . really appreciate : ) Im trying to contract that video uploader

Maybe now add YT correctly?
Yes, learned how to deal with tags

Having a pixel 2 xl as well, I think that videos from mi mix 2s are horrible, especially in 4k. 60 fps is missing and stabilization is horrible, videos are shaking as taken with parkinson

Pros:
- 1080p Videos have incredible stabilization (30fps or 120fps)
- Slow Motion is buttery smooth
Cons:
- 4k is shaky as hell and no 60fps
- No Manual Options for Videos
- Audio Quality is horrendous
- Third party support is bad (Filmic Pro and Open Camera only run at 30fps, no other modes)
- No variable FPS, 1080p is only available at 30fps or 120fps (slow mo)
I love the design of the 2s, MIUI and the quality of the final video output but as a videography nerd it's just not enough for me.

Yeah, stability in 1080p is fantastic, but low light quality is pretty bad. Audio was actually ok imo, normally bass in a club makes it a complete mess, and this video was me stood right next to a speaker.

ok, there is a lot of things which can be discussed about picture quality, but one thing is alarming... audio bitrate of videos... it is so low, that it sounds like songs from first mp3 era... my guess is audio bitrate is below 128kbps, sounds like 96kbps to me and this is unacceptable for any recording device... the low bitrate would be ok if .ogg or .aac used, but not mp3 as it lacks sound quality at this bitrate so much

Some news or experience?

does this phone have slowmotion ?

in case it does have this what is resolution and frames per second ?
is it 720p like most phones or finally 1080p 120fps?

It can record upto 4K videos. Don't know about fps. Most probably upto 60 fps. No slowmotion modes for sure.

Install pixelmaster camera https://apko.org/apps/asus-pixelmaster-camera-v3-0-36-3-apk-patched/ and you will get slow motion mode and other modes. Enable camera api2 for better result.
