Recording video on the Pre?

Maybe I'm just missing something, but it appears that the Pre has no way to record video. Even my ancient Razr could do that, although not very well.
If I am correct, and there is no ability to record, does anyone have any idea whether that feature might appear?

I Googled forums about the Palm Pre, and I see that I haven't been missing it..............there is no video recording feature. I am not sure how this feature was missed. The Pre can play movies and videos, but the cannot record/create a videos. This really doesn't make sense.
Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
I can't answer your question as to when (or if) video recording will be available on the Pre. Don't know personally whether it's just a matter of a software/OS upgrade, or if the hardware can even handle it.
BUT...to answer your final comment, it makes perfect sense to me for a device to be able to play movies and video but not be able to record video. I have had many a cell phone that could record video, and I think I can count on one finger the number of times I have ever used it. On the other hand, I have tons of movies, music videos and video clips which I have moved from my desktop computer to my Centro and other Palm devices for amusement of myself and others.
My phones have had the ability to take photos for years, but I have seldom used that feature, because the quality has been so awful. The Palm's image quality, though, is in a whole different league--roughly the same as many point-and-shoot digital cameras. Now that the pictures look halfway decent, I find myself using that feature often.
It would be the same for me with the ability to record video.
I can understand Palm/Sprint's eagerness to get this thing to market when they did, and I recognize the perils of being an early adopter. I am willing to be patient as they get the phone and its software sorted out, but I hope they realize that loyalty on the part of the user base has its limits.

How do i record video on the new iMovie on my mac

how do i record video on the new iMovie on my mac

Hey baseballgod44,
Great question! The following article outlines how to record video with the FaceTime HD Camera in iMovie (2013):
iMovie (2013): Record video with the FaceTime HD camera
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14675
Record live video directly into iMovie
1. Do one of the following:
          - To record using the built-in camera: Click the Import button in the toolbar.
          - To record using an external iSight camera: Connect the iSight camera to your computer with a FireWire cable, and click the Import button in the toolbar.
2. In the Cameras section of the Import window sidebar, select the camera you want to import from.
A live video image from the camera appears in the Import window.
3. Do one of the following:
          - To choose an existing event to contain the video: Choose the event from the “Import to” pop-up menu at the top of the Import window.
          - To create a new event to contain the video: Choose New Event from the “Import to” pop-up menu, type a name for the new event, and press Return.

I can't record videos. The icon to switch camera to video is gone?

I can't record videos. The icon to switch camera to video is gone. Anyone else have this problem?

SImple first: try resetting it. Hold down the Sleep and the Home buttons until the Apple logo displays on the screen. This will not have any effect on your data.

How long can the iPhone 3GS record video before the battery runs out?

My father invested in an iPhone 3GS Tripod adapter for his tripod, for some conferences and lectures. He has a 16GB 3GS, which will record about 8.6 hours, according to another thread I've read about on here. But he doesn't really want to bring the USB/Adapter cable with him, and have to worry about finding a power outlet. Assuming his phone is on full charge, and bluetooth/wifi are shut off, and brightness is kept a bit dim (not too dim) - can anyone give me a round about answer of how long the it will record video before the battery dies? This function is today, so timing is critical. I will have him take the charger/usb with extension cable just in case. I'd appreciate anyones input

Not sure if the battery will die before or after your done recording on the iPhone.But most sites are claiming that you can record up to 2GB per video.I just recorded a one minute clip,and it rounded off to about 34MB.So if you devide that,it rounds off to around an hour of recording video...But take that with a grain of salt,I'm not good with math lol

With OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, cannot record video with the iMac's built-in FaceTime HD camera. Cannot find the "Import" button in the toolbar.

Just updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and cannot find the "Import" button in the toolbar to record video on my iMac's Face Time HD built-in camera. Trying to follow the steps found under "iMovie (2013): Record video with the FaceTime HD camera" on apple support posting but it seems to me that those were posted for another OS version.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello Triunfo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are using the current version of iMovie, 10.0.6, you can follow the directions in the help article linked to below to import using the built-in FaceTime HD camera.

Sending pictures through text and recording videos with the Iphone

so yea i know its not out and idk if apple is working on it but i think it would be really cool. I'm 14 years old and i own an iphone and its like i could do more with my lame verizon phone. another thing is u cant record videos... all the money they are putting into the iphone and it can't even do some of the standard camera phone abilities. i'm just suggesting so don't think i'm like ranting about how the iphone ***** because its really cool i love it! not everybody has an iphone so not everybody's email is going to there phone and some times there are pictures id really like to send to my friends like the other day i was riding my bike listening to music and it started pouring then it let up and i saw a rainbow so i pulled out my iPhone and i took pictures and i really wanted to send them to a friend but there email doesn't go directly to there phone.
and off topic what would be really sweet would is wireless head phones lol like ugh the wires always getting in my way and id really like to just listen to music in school hehe. not like the phone thingy but and actual ear bud thingy like the white apple headphones but cut the wire off and it just sends the audio wirelessly to the head phones
thanks,
Bradley S. F.

Shooting stills while recording video with the SX50

Has anyone done this? I was shooting some video yesterday and was happy with how it came out until I realized that pressing the shutter button while recording video actually caused the video to insert a black frame and included the shutter sound. What is this?
My Kodak Z990 was able to do this same function (take pictures during videos) and even though some of them would turn out a bit blurrier than I would have liked, it never insert a black frame and sure didn't stick the shutter sound in there. Did Canon do this on purpose? I'm going to have to try and pull this video into some video editor to remove the frame and sound and hope it works.
Lesson learned, I guess. I'll take pictures and video separately from now on, just in case, but it's unfortunate that Canon screwed up badly on this feature.

Charleyhorse,
The items you mentioned need to be set before you start the video. Once the G16 is running the video, you cannot make adjustments to white balance, ISO, etc. The people I deal with all run the video for their G16's in Auto mode and let the camera make the decisions. But like myself, they don't use video very often, so hopefully someone with video experience on the G16 can give some better insight.

Recording Video on the Imac

Hey guys. I am 14 years old and have a passion for Video editing and movie makeing. Currently i am using my IMac to make videos for my schools Morning announcement program. What i was wondering is if it is possible to record what is going on on the computer screen (for example record video of World of Warcraft). Also if it is possible to record directly onto the computer from an outside source, for example a Xbox. (i figured that recording these would give me something fun to mess with and work on my skills without having to have a bunch of my friends come over and act for me)

Chuckarthy, Welcome to the discussion area!
Snapz Pro X is the premier utility for capturing activity on the screen.
...for example record video of World of Warcraft...
Most games override any thing else and won't allow you to capture screen shots.
Also if it is possible to record directly onto the computer from an outside source, for example a Xbox.
If your mini-DV camcorder has digital pass through, you can pipe the video from the Xbox into your mini-DV camcorder and out via Firewire to iMovie on your iMac.

Is there a way to record video from the iSight camera

Running Mavericks on an early 2008 iMac. iMovie 08 says 'NO CAMERA CONNECTED." Recording from QuickTime Player no longer has a perference panel, and the videos recoded are jerky and sound is bad. I can't find any soluion on youTube - they all say just pick th iSight camera in iMove - which I can't. I thought maybe iMove10 bu the app store said my cideo board does no support it. Seems like there should be but I cannot find it. I don't want to have to buy Camtasia which is the only one that seems to work with the iSight input.

Can i play audio and record video at the same time, disabling the external mike, so the video has that audio?

can i play audio while recording a video so that the audio is recorded with the video? .. disabling the inboard mic, ? .. thank you

Hi SwedelostinAmerica,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
The iPhone can maintain multiple pairing records, but it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. However, in your situation there may be a solution. You can connect the iPhone via Bluetooth for calls and use the 3.5mm jack on your iPhone and car radio to connect for music.
The following article explains Bluetooth pairing and usage. Please use it as a reference.

Does the Z1 have manual exposure adjustment when recording videos?

Looked all over the internet but can't find an answer to this question. When recording videos with the Z1, is it possible to manually increase the exposure by way of a slider (usually a range of -2 to +2)? I know there's an option to choose spot/centre weighted etc, but can this variable by set in advance with a slider? I film a lot of indoor videos that often end up completely underexposed when left in auto mode, therefore manual override is a must for me.
If not, does anyone know of any third party camera apps that add this functionality?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

On mine, running Android 4.4.2, before recording I can do it using the row of icons on the left. Make sure 'SCN' in the top left corner ('scene', in other words) is set to 'off'. This is like selecting 'manual' rather than one of the automatic, scene dependant, modes and it opens up the use of the next settings icon below it, the one that looks like 3 sliders, which would otherwise be 'greyed out'. So now that it's white you can tap it, go in, and manually select your 'white balance' setting (I use 'auto') and also the slider that you mentioned that goes from +2 to - 2. The slider in this case is labelled as 'EV'. Did this help?

Recording video in AIR

I'm developing a desktop application in Adobe Air. I'm trying to figure out how to record video to the hard drive as a FLV file using the Camera and Video classes. I have looked everywhere in the Adobe Flash documentation for information about how to record a video, but I can't find out how to do this. Can anyone tell me how this would be done?
There is no server in this situation; in fact, the computer the software will be running on isn't even connected to the internet. If it isn't possible to record video to the hard drive using Camera or Video classes, is there some kind of work-around I could use, keeping in mind that for this project I have full access to the client computer and can install any software I need to on it? I'm developing for a project that will be shipped to customers as a kiosk computer with all software pre-installed.

There's no documentation for recording because it isn't supported, at least directly.
There are a couple of ways to do it, though:
There's this class: http://www.joristimmerman.be/wordpress/2008/12/18/flvrecorder-record-to-flv-using-air/ But it doesn't support sound and I don't think you get much, if any, compression.
You could install a local server that can accept the video stream from AIR (which is already encoded).
You could use the NativeProcess API to send data to a native program for encoding. There could be problems with this approach, I've heard that people have had trouble with high bandwidth applications like video encoding, but I don't know the details. Using Timmerman's method of saving bitmapdata to a file and then using passing the file name to a native program to do the encoding might work better than trying to send the video bytes over the NativeProcess link itself.
In AIR 3, you should be able to write a native extension that lets you encode video straight from the application.
