iPhone Techie

Qik VideoCamera App has been updated and now shoots videos with framerate up to 15fps, zoom, landscape mode, real-time effects and much more. This is a perfect app for 2G and 3G iPhones.

With this new update to the Qik VideoCamera App, the good ole Cycorder becomes obsolete (I hate to say it but it’s TRUE!!!)

Add a Video Recorder to your iPhone with Qik VideoCamera!

• Realtime Effects & Zoom (3G & 2G only), Up to 15 FPS
• Brightness control, Audio boost, Landscape mode, Email sharing, and more!

Exclusive realtime effects allow you to see the effect live, while shooting!

• Black & white
• Black & white with Red – bright red and yellow objects keep their color
• Mirror horizontal and vertical – image is reflected, carnival-style
• Color game (aka “Avatar mode”) – red and blue are reversed

Note: only one color effect, zoom, or brightness can be applied at the same time, and some FPS reduction will occur (10-20%)

More reasons Qik VideoCamera is one of the best-loved apps in the app store:

• 12+ FPS at max resolution with good lighting
• access all your videos from your PC/Mac on local network (see the Gallery in List View)
• No recording limit at any resolution
• Instant saving at any resolution, just shoot and go (or shoot again!)
• Export video to Camera Roll and and then to iPhoto

2 quality modes supported:

• 400×304, 12+ FPS – 8MB/min file size
• 200×152, 15 FPS – 3.5MB/min file size

::Update for Facebook sharing coming next week!::

I can’t wait for this feature to kick in… This is why I really wanted this app.

Coming soon:

• Effects for 3GS
• Share to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Brightcove and Qik.com
• Share by SMS
• Geo location

Tips:
• High FPS is only achievable under good lighting conditions – this is a limitation of 2G & 3G iPhones.
• If your iPhone has been running for a long time, and FPS seems low, it might need a restart; they do suffer from slow-downs over time.
• To export a video to the Camera Roll, tap the bottom right button to view your videos. Then select the video, press “Export” and wait till you see success.
• if new video does not show up in iPhoto, unplug your iPhone and plug it back.
• Special effects use processing power, so FPS will be reduced somewhat (10-20%)
• Recorded videos are currently best played in QiuckTime on any platform (Mac/PC)
