IPhone :: Temporarily Emptying 4s Storage For Video Recording?
Jun 8, 2012
I'm getting married soon, and rather than hire a videographer to produce something we probably won't like anyway, we thought we'd go down the riskier route of asking friends and family to use their iPhones to record video on the day, and then editing all the results together ourselves.
The major stumbling block we're facing now is that most people's iPhones don't have enough free storage available to be used as video cameras for a day-long event. So I was wondering if there was any safe way to back up each iPhone (we're talking about half a dozen or so), temporarily reset it to clean out the storage, and then restore it later on after extracting the video. The questions I need answered are:
1) Can one Mac, running one instance of iTunes, be used to back up multiple iPhones, some of which are not even synced with that specific Mac?
2) Can I get large amounts of video off those iPhones without syncing and potentially over-writing previous back-ups? Is there a method of extracting video that doesn't involve iTunes (just as you can use Preview in OS X to get photos off the camera roll without opening iTunes, for example)?
3) Once the video has been taken off the phones, is it safe to assume that iTunes will happily restore each phone from its respective back-up?
reduce the audio recording level for video shoots?Cause if its just a little loud, the whole soundtrack gets distorted.Another nice one would be if we could get the noise cancellation mic thats next to the headphone plug to record a second audio track, making it stereo..
If I receive a call during recording a video, the video gets lost. Can I change settings or is there any solution to save the video before accepting the call? Or is it simply a flaw in the software that the video is not saved automatically?
I have a Galaxy S6 edge on T-Mobile and juts noticed this morning that whenever I attempt to record a video I get a warning stating "The video codec is currently being used by other applications..."
Is it possible to determine which application has it in use? I've closed all running applications which didn't resolve the problem. Restarted the phone without starting any other applications before the camera and that failed. I'm not seeing any information about this issue in the couple of searches I've done so far but wonder if it's an isolated issue or something common.
Short of a Factory Reset, which I'm not fully opposed to doing, is there a potential solution?
i believe i found a bug with 3.1. videocamera pauses while video recording when a live paper is being used when wallpaper is just a picture than it works properly.
Does the iphone 4 have 5x digital zoom for hd video recording? In the keynote Steve says 5x digital zoom is "built in to the camera app" (52m 32sec in to the keynote) but it's not clear whether this feature applies to the HD video recording?
The sound on my iphone video camera is not working. I have used it before and it was OK. I shot an hour's worth of clips during which I tested and heard the sound being recorded. When I went to upload it to my computer, there was no sound. Pics are good. Looking at the original clips still on my iphone, and there's no sound. I tried to record another video clip as a test and it has no sound. Is there a setting for sound which I am missing or is there something wrong with the microphone.
I plan to upgrade to the iPhone 5 if it's good for my needs but now, is there a good free app for the iPhone 3G I could use for recording videos (nothing advanced just basic recording)?
I am trying to take video of a real estate property and I do not need to collect the audio - in fact I do not want any audio captured - can I mute the micrphone while taking vido?
I was filming a video (ice bucket challenge)Â and I didn't interfere with the record button. But after the challenge was done, it froze (the buttons on the display weren't working) and I pressed the off button so it went back to the home button. It then took like a minute to process and the video appeared in photos but it only recorded 32 seconds and I need the remaining 30 seconds. Is there a way for me to get it back?
When open the 60 FPS video recording option, the camera app easily crash when switching the function option (such as switch from video to picture). is it the hardware problem or the software problem?
after a week abroad i come back, my phone is off, i can´t charge it nor turn it on.When i put it in charge, there is the red light and after 5 seconds it goes off.I´ve tried everything i´ve seen on the forums
I have been using Sony Xperia Z2 for some weeks now and I noticed that the video camera is not working. Anytime I click on it, it shows me error that the camera is not available.
i got my phone about 2 months ago. it worked fine for about a month, and then, just like that, it started to freeze in the middle of the recording for about 2-3 secs, then started rec ok, and agaian freezed for 2-3 secs and so on. After i downloaded the movie and played it, it played the same as the recording(with the freezed sections, but with sound). I checked the sw version(the last one), i changed the card, i formatted it. The problem(for now) is solved by taking down the recording quality, but i dont want this to be a permanent solution.
I have a Blackberry Torch 9810 and in the tutorial video it shows that I should be able to zoom in and out of the video recording screen with the volume keys but for some reason I can't.
While recording a video today I noticed that the max time I could record was set at 5 minutes. I was not in the text app and recording a video as of I were going to send it, but rather the normal camera mode. Is this the default? If so, can it be changed? I looked in settings and could not seem to find anywhere to change it.
Is there any way to use 4K video recording in more than 10 mins? Because i try to use it but it closes after 5 mins due to temperature rising (auto close).
I can only asume these 2 issues are somehow linked, when I try to watch a video on Facebook I get an error "the video cannot be played, an unknown error occured, if I open the same video in youtube, I just get a black screen, a reboot will fix it for a little while but not long, when I get the error, it will not let me record video with the camera either, just says camera is not available as soon as I hit record, mines a z2 and the problem only started since the lollipop update, if I reboot, I can watch videos and record video, after a while both errors return, its getting very annoying.
