Hi,
Well I have a question about how our Camera on the MI5 cant record videos on 1080p60fps?
After all it has the same camera sensor as the OnePlus3 and the Huawei Mate 8 and both of these phones after a software upgrade on their camera app are enabled to record on 1080p60fps.. First I thought it belongs to the camera app as when I tried the Snapdragon Camera I was able to record video on 720p120fps but 1080p is just on 30fps,What cause that lock can someone please explain me?
As Sensor is the same as the other phones,Same CPU and everything I'm pretty sure the device can record 1080p60fps but what blocking it from it?
Using the Huawei P20 Pro I recorded a short 4k clip in DJI Go, Filmic and the Huawei camera apps and also recorded a short 4k clip on a Canon 5D4 DSLR camera. When reviewed on the phone the videos play back ok.
When I import all of the video files into Premiere Pro CC the DSLR 4k video colouration is completely normal and the video from all three phone apps has corrupt colour, mainly large patches of magenta and green which totally obscure the correct colours.
All of my laptop graphics drivers are upto date and the phone is fully updated. As the DSLR video is playing back correctly in Premiere Pro and all three of the videos recorded by different phone apps have corrupt colour I can only think it is down to the phone video codec?
Has anyone else noticed this problem and resolved it as it currently makes the P20 Pro completely useless for video production.

Hello,
Sum up
I'm looking for a good way to record 4K 60 FPS with an external microphone, and possibly using any camera of the phone.
Why
I'm trying to find a convenient way to record good quality videos with speaking subjects (interviews and such) on the phone.
I aim the best possible quality for comfort and durability. I am therefore trying to film 4K 60 FPS with an external Lavalier microphone plugged in the jack port of the phone. (I'm also using a gimbal and stands depending on the context).
I also want to sometimes use the main camera, and sometimes the wide angle lens.
Phone
I'm using a stock ROM Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro (8GB RAM/256GB Storage, Global version).
Issues
As simple as it seems, I'm encountering a few issues/limitations.
Default video app :
- doesn't seem to take an external microphone
- has mediocre but OK audio compression quality
- has an 8 minutes limit when filming 4K 60 FPS (don't know about other formats).
(My 8 minutes 4K 60 FPS video is 2.2GB, so it doesn't seem to be a file size limit)
- and it's also the only one that seems to support video recording with any lens/camera on the phone...
I'm willing to sacrifice on audio quality if someone can think of a way to use an external mic, and get rid of that 8 minutes time limitation with the default camera app.
Issues with other apps
I've tried a lot of alternate video apps, but none allowed me to record videos using the wide angle lens, or they were bugged or wouldn't take the external mic or woulldn't do 60 FPS in 4K...
- OpenCamera : Works great for everything, most stable so far, OK with external mic, no time limit and all, but no wide angle
- 4K Camera Pro : No 4K 60 FPS (limited to 30 FPS), crashes a lot, no option for using wide angle camera, takes external mic
- Cinema FV-5 Lite : No option for more than 30 FPS, 4K is limited to the pro version, no option for wide angle camera
- HedgeCam2 : Unable to even select 4K anymore after testing the app, couldn't find an option to select another camera, should take external mic, not tested that much.
- Google Camera (from Pixel) : Supports wide angle for photo, but not video. Stopped testing there.
- DJI Mimo : This is the app from my gimbal, no 4K 60 FPS (no framerate option), and won't take external microphone... So it's OK for making footage, but not interviews.
Question
For now, my best option is to forget about the wide angle and to just use Open Camera which is not 100% satisfying...
So my question is this:
Does anyone see a better option? Maybe even a ROM or an addon that could force microphone selection? I'm willing to go to custom builds at this point.
Thank you

Try filmic pro, it's not free but has a huge amount of options when it comes to resolutions, compression/container method, camera and fps, there's actually too much for me to mention, the ui is a little cluttered but I think it's down to having so much stuff

Just got the Filmic Pro app, really great even though it doesn't solve the camera switch issue. Thanks for sharing.
Sent a few suggestions to the devs, we'll see.
One boring thing is it gets back to the default (internal) mic after unplugging the external and does not go back to external when you plug it back. No big deal but might lead to errors. Also, it doesn't support the DJI Osmo Mobile 3 yet, but since the 1 and 2 are supported, it's likely a mater of time. That's awesome already that it supports some gimbals at all.
For the rest, it's pretty cool, I like the interface and ease of use, that's the most professional video app I've seen yet.
We'll see, I'm glad I've got this app in my library anyways.
Hi there.
So I'm using P40 pro with freebuds 3 headset. Recently I'm into vlogging with my gf, and I'm wondering is there a way to use the freebuds 3 as a wireless mic/audio source for video recording with the native camera app?? The internal mic of the phone picks up too much surrounding voice, and I can't shoot too far from my gf (as the host), to pick up her voice.
I can do this if I'm recording with cinema FV5 apk, but we prefer using the native camera app. I can use the built-in beautify filter, and the image stabilisation is better imo.
I'm on emui 11.0.0.259, with gms installed, if that helps.
Thank you.
Hi guys, i want to buy a Pixel 7 but i need to know if there is some camera integration with the external apps.
As you know on Android if you use Instagram camera, Whatsapp camera etc. the picture will be awful. I thought that on the Pixel phones this was resolved but maybe this is not the case
But the most important thing for me is if the video stabilization (with gyro data) is supported on external apps as FilmicPro, Protake or mcpro24fps.
For example the OnePlus 9 Pro wasn't able to use the gyro data with external apps, so with the main camera app the video was super stable (but the video quality was terrible) while with external apps the video was very shaky (but the video quality was high).
(Currently i use the Xiaomi Mi 8 with Pixel Experience and obviously the Gcam )
