Videos Taken with an iPhone 4

better feedback if shooting the swing facing the golfer (instead of behind like in this case).

almost looked like the clubhead was in front of the hands at impact :)

I don't think anyone wants to be filming directly in front of a tee shot.

Miraculously this particular shot was a beauty, I have learned to live with my swing flaws. For most amateur golfers the swing is not going to be pretty when you slow it down.
 
when i upload a video with the tumblr app or the twitter app the quality is horrible. it isn't just standard definition, the compression makes it almost unwatchable and it is definitely worse than the quality of the 3GS.

does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve this? i tried using the pixelpipe app but it won't post to tumblr for some reason.

facing the golfer, not downrange from him ;)

I was testing the low light capabilities of the iPhone. My MiniDV camcorder failed at capturing this sequence acceptably under the same lighting conditions.

BTW, I figured out a simple way to fade in and out at the beginning and end. I snapped a photo of nothing, just blackness. Then I took that photo from the camera roll and dropped it into the beginning and end of the iMovie project. Voila!

There are some good apps for looking at your swing floating around out there. Some will let you import video you've already taken :)

Who cares what it looks like, as long as it ends up in the short stuff
 
Here is my iPhone 4 video experiment. I wanted to test two things specifically...

First, my two friends wanted to take me to a little odd museum that I had never been to before (Museum Of Jurassic Technology; nothing to do with Dinosaurs strangely enough) so I thought it would be a great opportunity to test extremely low light; I'm talking very dark rooms and no flash or video lighting were allowed in the museum.

Secondly, I wanted to see if I could edit the video to music using iMovie for iPhone. It wasn't too hard, just time consuming (I could have done a much better job if I had more patience that night, but I was just trying to crank something out.) So to do this, I started with a black bumper clip (for the titles) and then laid down the music track (an old favorite of mine from "This Mortal Coil") and inserted the video clips and trimmed/added fades in time with the music.

Interesting thing to note; if you can get through the whole video (it's kinda dark and boring) I was able to pick up the tiny "Pepper's Ghost" effect that the Museum had on display and also attempted looking into a Microscope with the iPhone 4:

I mainly used ReelDirector despite the fact that I also have iMovie. In the second video, I used iMovie to accurately crop the videos so that they would sync to the music. I then deleted the music, keeping only the edited videos. I saved that to my photo library then used reeldirector to add the music back in. I did this so I could adjust the volume level of both the video clip and the music myself instead of having present volumes in iMovie.
