Are there any instructions anywhere for the Samsung Video Editor app that comes with the camera? I can poke it with various sticks and make random things happen on the screen, but I can't tell what any of them mean . If it is supposed to be obvious and intuitive, it didn't work on me...
I also noticed that it refuses to even attempt to edit many of the video formats the camera can record (like the slow motion videos), which seems a little lame for an app that is supposed to enhance the camera.
Any news on this? I have seen on GSM Arena that the Galaxy S6 actually shoots slow motion with audio, the interface in the Note 4 is good as it is, it just lacks the proper shooting mode, Slow motion with Audio, video quality is ok right now, i just miss the audio, adding the slow motion effect to a video directly on the phone is a huge upgrade, but having the Note 4 lacking behind the iphone 5 is just not right, S6 does it right tho, any news of someone porting the S6 camera to the Note 4? Thanks for reading.
You can use 'Snap Camera' app, open it, enable advanced controls (or something like that), go to video tab, choose 720p, change bitrate if desired, now choose Record at maximum framerate (or something like that). Record a video and play it at x0.25 with VLC and/ or use a video editoron your pc.
Thanks for the reply, but im interested in the current slow motion mode in the note 4 where you can slow down a fraction of the video while the rest keeps the normal speed, exporting the video like that is ok on the note 4, but no audio.

Oh, then try this app alongside with the other one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobile.bizo.slowmotion
Open this app, choose to record a video using Snap Camera with the settings I told you before, then return to the app and edit the video as you want.
Today I'm gonna show you that how you could get 240/480/960 fps smooth slowmotion on your device. You don't need to have root or a PC just your device and an application.
App : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.danielkorgel.SmoothActionCamSlowmo
( In no way I'm claiming that this app is my intellectual property, I'm just sharing what this app is capable of. )
Just follow the steps in the video below.
For all of you who are skeptical whether this method actually works or this video is just a clickbait. Before you watch this video and get disappointed later. I would like to tell you that how this thing actually works.
First of all you will need to install the app I linked. Then record a video and btw the video you record can be of any frame rate or resolution, you can even produce a "smooth" slow motion video out of a 4k video you recorded. But the final result would be much better if you record at the highest possible frame rate as the app would have more information to work with.
Now after you've set up the app as I showed you in the video, select the video file you recorded. Now after doing other steps click on export, this process would take time depending on fps, resolution, length of the video and how much you slow it down. Eg. A 720p 120fps slow mo video of around 5 seconds took around 2 minutes to export. The way this app works is that first it takes two frames, then guessing what the the frame in between them would've looked like renders it, this process is called motion interpolation. Google this term to know better. Btw professional videographers use this method too in Adobe premiere pro on PC's.
The reason I chose to show how to show the setting up and method of using this app using a video because first of all the the method of setting up the app is easier to understand by a video and as this whole process off exporting takes time so with this video showed you the proof that what I'm telling you all is true.
( In no way this app is my intellectual property and in no way I'm related or know the developer personally. I just found about this app due to my habit of trying different apps and I'm sharing what this app does as I wasn't able to find any other app capable of motion interpolation.)
real or fake?

cause obviously 960fps is only possible with high end camera spec. bogus post

It uses motion interpolation ( a feature in Adobe premiere pro of PC) and exactly does what is mentioned.
such a nice click bait...
Not super smooth but works:good:
Close this thread. Such a click bait. I hope there's penalty for such poster
Works
Well, at first i thought it was fake then installed it i recorded 120 fps(could record 240 fps too) with my Mi 6 camera then import it to the app and it works, try it guys you won't lose anything
Thankss
Hi,
When I record a video (with stock camera app) in 4k that is longer than a minute in the photos app it laggs (1-4 fps), the sound is playing normally. When I try to play a 30 sec 4k video it runs smoothly. In other resolution everything is fine.
But, when I play that video in an other app (like Filemanager's built in video player) it is fine.
I deleted app data, and cache, still doesn't work.
I also tried to record a 4k 1 minute long video, wich is about 300MB, then I recorded a 10 minute video in FullHd wich is 1.6 GB, the FullHd video runs smoothly, so I don't think it is a problem with size. What could be the problem?
Same here brother. After i stabilized the video the vudeo become choppy. Or if I see recorded 4k video the video stuck at some piont and show like slidesjow of photos.
For the last 2 days, that is what i am frustratingly suffering. It was not sth existing a few days ago. I was wondering what caused this and saw your post. Appreciate all kinds of recommendations.
If anyone have a solution please let me know, I still have this problem. After June update all of my 4k videos are broken and I can't play them in Google photos.
Are you sure it happens only with videos longer than 1 min? I have the same problem but it's random.
Sometimes videos longer than 1 or 2 minutes play OK, sometimes very short videos lag.
Haven't tried less than 4k, though.
Super annoying - using VLC now.

I am facing the same problem
Hi, so I tried a few things, and it works.
Disable the app. If it asks to replace the app with the factory version click "ok". After that, enable the app, and DON'T update it, even if it asks to.
This worked for me, no problem at all, the 4k works, the slowmotion videos can be played without stopping too.
@Thuyamo so you lost the improved interface, dark mode and all that?
I am just afraid it will cause sync problems or something.

I'm currently on version 4.11, the newest in play store is 4.19 so it's not that old. For me this downgrade didn't cause any sync problem. Since the screen is so dim I don't want to make it harder to see stuff on my phone outside the house?, so I don't use dark mode at all. But yes, I lost the dark mode feature. The improved interface is there, I didn't lose it.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
I'm on 4.18.0.250747830 version, 1st play of recorded video was playing normally, smooth, but 2nd and so on lagging like hell

Try the second or the third one, please let me know if it works.
I don't care if it is working or not, to play videos I'm using MX Player Pro.
I created ticket [9-1423000026724] with Google One Support. Let's see how that goes.
Guys, this is a secret so SHHH don't tell anyone.

(Because, I mean, who in their right mind uses Google-anything. Just joking, but srsly.)
Ok, here is an update on ticket [9-1423000026724] with Google support.
Long story short, they said Google Photos cannot play 4k videos.
So I said that was not true and sent them screenshots of Photos running on an iPhone and on a Motorola Android phone, including the information pop-up that shows the video resolution.
They replied they did all they could and closed the case.
I am so dissapointed with their service. I did not expect a quick solution, but I thought they would acknowledge the bug.
What do we do now? I think opening more tickets with them is all we can do. Hope you guys can help me on that.
Ok, so I've had my Mi8 for over a year now and I love this phone very much.
I still think its camera is one of the best out there and I've been thinking about using its slow motion video recording for some scientific projects, but here's the catch: I'd like to use it's 1080p 240 FPS footage, though interpolated through my desktop PC, which has a decent amount of powerful hardware (Ryzen 5 2600, 16Gb, GTX970), to 480 or 960 FPS. I don't really like the effect that the phone's interpolated 960 FPS has and I'd also like to record more than a few seconds maybe one or two minutes which in 240 FPS is possible.
Well, every time I try to open the video file in an editor I get an error saying that the video is incompatible or corrupt (I've tried this in both smartphone apps and PC: Kinemaster and Premiere, although only the latter can interpolate). But in every case I could open the video in the phone and in the PCs video playback software (VLC and MPC) normally. So I was wondering if it'd be possible to convert the file to a compatible format for interpolation. In this case, I think the conversion NEEDS to maintain the framerates. Correct me if I'm wrong though, I've never tried this before and have no prior experience with these softwares (video conversion, editing, etc.).
