Is iMovie for iPhone 4 up yet?

Don't think iMovie is planned for simultaneous release. Apple has it as "coming soon"

Just noticed, the posters GPS coords are in the video file. Not sure how bad of a thing that is...

You can disable that in iOS4 if you want to. Probably would be good to have an option to strip out that info when uploading though.

You know I would never post a video or pictures on here for others to see. You think you're doing some folks a favor by sharing but all you get is a bunch of complainers and whiners. The members of this group never fail to amaze me. Sometimes I think the average age must be about 16.

Too true. Except the part about avg age. These are grown-ass adults you're dealing with. Physically grown that is...

Besides, these msg boards are tame compared to others I've frequented. Most of the annoying folk on here seem to be the pedantic nerdy type. Haughty, rude and antisocial, but not as crude nor violent as elsewhere.

I noticed that too. Is there a simple way to strip that out for things like posting online? All the raw movies posted today have basically told the world where their house is.

not bad...

Horrendously fugly. Is there something wrong with that unit or is the imaging component really that bad in Iphone 4? Inexcusable for device that is sold for €600-700 (w/o subsidies of course).

I honestly feel the camera and video are the two biggest features of the new device. I'll take much more pictures with it than ever with this level of quality.

I agree. I was waiting to see the picture/video quality before deciding to buy. It'll be my first iPhone. I've been waiting for a device that I can use for calls, games, GPS, browsing, video, and pictures -- and do them well -- for a long time. Being able to consolidate so many devices into one is a big deal to me.

Can anybody give any info on file sizes for HD video shot on the iPhone 4? My wife and I are getting the 16GB and 32GB versions, and I can't decide which I should take for myself.

Looking at the posted video, about 4.7 GB per hour.

Dang, I was gonna have such a a good use for it this weekend.

Yeah that would be nice. As it is the OP is just transmitting their location with each uploaded, RAW, video.

Can't watch vid's on my iPhone 3GS

Why? the youtube one in the post doesn't work or the link. Ironic

 

[andybno1]

I thought Job's said iMovie was available now when he did the keynote

 

[nexsta]

video is not so good as i thought, the rolling shutter effect on fast movements makes the video useless, very sad.

Seriously, "useless"? You couldn't find ANY use for this quality of video ON A PHONE?

Not Jerky

You know what you would see if that video was shot with a Droid Incredible? In both HD and standard video, it's jerky. Stutters. Drops frames. And on top of that it's not even 30 frames/sec.

Just so you know.

Thanks, I'm at work right now and they block videos so I couldn't see it.

You'll love the iPhone 4. When I consolidated from an iPod, Palm T|X, and Motorolla RAZR to the original iPhone, it was awesome. I can't wait for Thursday morning.

 

[Studio Dweller]

Resolution looks good in HD. The video seems to have a lot of frame stuttering. I don't think that's its the user. Looks like rolling shutter to an extent.

I'm assuming that's because it's shooting 30 progressive frames per second as opposed to 60 interlaced fields per second which results in a motion that's similar to a film camera running at 24 fps.

 

[diamond.g]

Can you change the resolution being recorded?

 

[NinjaHERO]

For a phone, that is pretty impressive.

As I saw the first movie taken with an iphone 4 from a czech site a week ago I was too naive to think it could replace my camcorder, this video just got me back to reality, so I have to say: yes for a cellphone it's ok.

Wanna make a good movie?

Don't pan, don't zoom, unless you're making an episode of Streets of San Francisco. It's 2010 > cut

 

[Frazzle]

I heard they're gonna shoot the next season of House on it.

I'm hoping for the 24th.

All that shakiness wouldn't be a problem if it came with a kickstand

 

[Meriana]

hm, i wonder if the guy used a software with video stabilizing feature like imovie'09 has, it might be able to improve the video.
