Do you have tutorial how to manage that on Pixel 7 Pro from scratch?
We are working on a tutorial about how to manage in general :D, but if you join our Discord you can learn much more stuff about this topics
Im a beginner and i cant for the life of me understand what i'm doing Ivew followed everything but the resulting file is unusable It cant be played on the phone, or file explorer in windows, and davinci resolve cannot see it at all so it cannot be imported This video doesnt address these issues What am i supposed to do?
Please join our Discord, you can find many information's there
MotionCam Pro can record in HEVC 4k 422 10bit log/HDR?
Android devices have only 10 Bit 420 HW encoding
MotionCam Can record 4k 60fps in RAW? or in h265 10bit 422 with high bitrate (+250mbps)
MotionCam can record even 120fps, if the phone allows it!
@@MotionCam Also in HEVC 422 10 bit?
What nitrate were talking about, what are external storage minimum requirements?
Hello, any external ssd should be good enough (eg: Samsung T7)
Does this method record with audio?
Hello, yes ofc :), you can check our Demo Version
Is this 7680 x 4320 or Full 4:3 sensor size capture?
was full sensor and resized to 8k timeline
Problem is. These are all tripod shots. Yes MC is better but the second you use handheld iPhone is far superior with its stabilization
Totally get what you're saying! These shots are on a tripod because we wanted to show what the footage can really do at its best. MotionCam isn’t trying to be a point-and-shoot app like the iPhone. It's more for people who want full control and are willing to put in a bit of effort to get cinematic results. That said, we do support recording gyro data, so if you’re shooting handheld, you can stabilize your footage in post using tools like GyroFlow. It takes a little more work, but the payoff is massive: you get both smooth motion and the insane quality of RAW video. MotionCam’s really about giving creators the tools to push boundaries. It’s not for every use case, but for those who want more, there’s always a way to make it work-and the results are worth it. 😊
Is the stabilization in this app the same as stock app stabilization? What about opening and controlling the app and recording video with the Galaxy Watch5 Pro?
Stabilization is based on OIS, you can try the. demo version to see what works or not. Cheers
@MotionCam Does Galaxy Watch work with MotionCam?
@@blizzforte284 I dont know, you can test yourself :) (with Demo version)
Does this program help with stabilization on Android? Does it work with the Samsung Watch camera remote?
Stabilization is given by OIS module (is hardware)
@MotionCam So it's the same as stock app stabilization? What about opening and controlling the app and recording video with the Galaxy Watch5 Pro?
@@blizzforte284not possible
Can you change aperture in motioncam?
If you refer to xiaomi aperture, not possibile officially due to camera api limitation, but with root is possible yes
What about panning and stabilization because just a ‘still’ recording isn’t that hard for a camera but most androids fail at smooth video. This all looks great but isn’t point and shoot. There’s a lot of post editing needed to get these results.
OIS functionality depends on the specific device! MotionCam is designed for users who want full control over their content. For those looking for a point-and-shoot experience, the stock camera app is more than sufficient. Cheers!
Tutorial for the s23 ultra with this quality and look please
Please upload the editing process of this footage.
hi how to import the dng to davinci. i just came back to learn motioncam but after the new update the old step seems not working. i usually export the dng and go through motioncam tools again to render then the dng files can easily used in davinci. While now i have the problem the motincam tool doesnt recognize the file or the file cannot be select for render and if i select it, it only shows individual picture. also i cannot drag the file to davinci same happened with motioncam tools
Please join our Discord.
could you guys get 60 or a 120 fps to work on s21 ultra? ^_^
Only Samsung can make that happen :D

My histogram is colored green and purple Iines, not like in this video. Also I can't get the histogram to move by adjusting settings. What am I doing wrong?
Hello, it got improved. Thanks
Seems like it's a tossup between the latest Samsung and Last year's iPhone. Again 🥱
Here u can find the sources from both devices: f005.backblazeb2.com/file/MotionCam-Public/2025/01_iphone16pro_vs_mi14u/index.html
Looking forward to seeing the comparison with direct log vs apple log
In time we will be able to have active noise reduction filters, and we will do :D
Is this video not HDR for some reason?
This clip is HDR
@@MotionCam ah it's loading in HDR on my laptop now. Wasn't on phone. Usually does even on phone
Xiaomi is the best HDR
I wouldn’t say there’s a definitive 'best' - both devices handle HDR very well, but their workflows differ significantly. It really comes down to the user’s needs and preferences. One approach might suit a more automated, out-of-the-box experience, while the other provides more flexibility and control, which may appeal to those who prefer fine-tuning their results. Each has strengths depending on the scenario and the user behind the camera.
Does not the Xiaomi have an 1-inch sensor?
Yes it does
The app now supports all Galaxy S23U, 24U cameras?
Hello, yes it does
It's inaccrate to compare apple log in the low light condition with still camera position, of course it brings noise reduce a lot in the still pixels, motion view will be way worse than Mi14
Noise reduction is applied regardless of motion or stillness
@@MotionCam Yes I mean it's impoved the pixel quality that where the area won't move, for example the buildings, as the comparison the raw footage has uniform noise distribution
Line skipping to reduce the raw storege still an issue for MotionCam Pro
Raw storage is not reduced by any form... ( You capture the stream as it is)
@@MotionCam I saw there are significant chromatic aberration at the high contrast area in the MotionCam footage, so I guess it's recorded in storage reduction mode (by skipping 2 lines of 3) , haven't using the full resolution mode to reduce the chromatic aberration.
@@MotionCam Hopefully one day we could have pixel binning raw mode by combine 3x3 pixels by CPU on the cell phone in realtime
Great job. However, some artifacting still remains on 14 Ultra's footage
Hey thanks, don't forget YT re-encode and highly compress this uploaded footage :)
first time in my life i felt its unfair to compare iphone to a xiaomi phone
What's the difference in file sizes though?
not far from each other, will share sources today
Will motioncam pro work all good on z fold 3?
you can try Demo version
man this shit is awesome getting this cuality regarless the storage from this devices awesome idk what vivo does w the 200 ultrsa but i wanna see this app on that
ISO?
This is pretty impressive!
Thank you very much for your great work. Is there any other smartphone besides the Xiaomi 14 Ultra that can shoot 4k 120fps RAW with your app?
Oneplus 8 pro and oneplus 11
@MotionCam Thank you very much.
How you shooted 8k? I have 50 megapixel sensor Snapdragon 8 gen 2..... Only supports 4096×3072😢
Hey, what device?
When you will release the new update? I have xiaomi 14 ultra and the last motion cam pro.
V4 development just started, more info will be announced on Discord
@MotionCam thank you!!
i download the Motion cam app on my Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra what are the best settings as a beginner to experiment the video capturing as i dont have any PC for editing at the moment? Any android app that can edit the content from this awesome Motion Cam app? Thank you.
For that it is best to join our Discord, and hop on the ride ;)
@MotionCam thank for the answer I will join it 🙂
Как купить приложение в России ?

Really bad processing, any professional will tell you that
Appreciate the feedback! Just to clarify - this is HDR footage, so it’s best viewed in an HDR environment to fully see the differences. The video’s purpose is to highlight the processing differences rather than being a polished final grade. Since UA-cam compresses and discards a lot of details, the footage was pushed a bit to make those differences more visible. Thanks for your interest - we’ll be sharing the source files soon if you'd like to take a closer look!
Я подумал, что он сводил картинку под айфон :)
What do you use to display chroma details? And what do you mean by chroma when it comes to raw? After all it's RGB, not YUV.
When I mention chroma in the context of raw, I'm referring to the color detail and separation between channels, not chroma in the YUV sense (since, as you correctly pointed out, raw is RGB-based). The term 'chroma' here is more about visualizing color purity and channel independence. To display chroma details, I use a custom DCTL in DaVinci Resolve that isolates the color information by subtracting luminance from each RGB channel. This technique highlights the differences in how each color channel carries information. The reason this comparison is relevant in raw vs. iPhone video is because iPhone footage (or other log-compressed videos) often undergoes heavy chroma subsampling and aggressive denoising, which can blur fine color details. Raw data, on the other hand, preserves more native sensor information without this subsampling, allowing for clearer separation between red, green, and blue channel details. So while it's still RGB, the way each channel retains or loses color information is different between processed log video and raw. This visualization helps reveal how much color data is retained or smeared, exposing compression artifacts or the 'painterly' effect you sometimes see in compressed footage.
@@MotionCam Thanks a lot for the detailed answer!
@@MotionCam One more question if I may. If you substract luminance from the RGB channels you get colorful but very flat image. However, your version is contrasty, is there any other processing you do here? It doesn't seem like a simple contrast adjustment.
@@AttilaBakosArt Good catch! When isolating chroma by subtracting luminance from RGB, the resulting image tends to be flat because chroma, by nature, has much lower amplitude compared to luma. To address this, we applied a non-linear remapping of chroma data into the luma channel. The process works by redistributing the magnitude of chromatic differences in a way that exaggerates smaller variations while preserving larger ones, which prevents weaker chroma signals from disappearing into the shadows. Essentially, it’s like stretching chroma detail into the luma domain for clearer visual separation. This remapping uses a perceptual scaling curve rather than a simple contrast boost. A linear adjustment would raise the entire chroma range uniformly, but that wouldn't emphasize the subtle shifts we're interested in. By applying a curve, areas with minimal chroma information stay closer to their original values, while regions with significant chroma differences are amplified. This produces the higher-contrast appearance you're seeing, even though the underlying chroma data remains the same. In practical terms, this lets us inspect how much chroma information survives processing (or is discarded), making artifacts and discrepancies between different capture methods much easier to spot.
@@MotionCam I appreciate the effort you put in your answers very much, and again, thanks a lot! I built my own DCTL a long time ago for the same purpose but I only analyse the Cr and Cb channels in grayscale with added linear contrast. I tried to convert them back to RGB with a fixed luma value, but as we discussed, the image was too flat and I couldn't figure out a clever way for a better visualization. Your method is very pleasing, I'll try to do something similar.
Better details on Motion cam and less noise. Nice comparison. Thank you for existing and for doing a great job 👌
I think this is the best comparison ever made between motioncam raw and iphone. I am a xiaomi mi 13 ultra user. Thank you.
Because I just watched this video, if I already bought an iPhone 16 pro...
Dont worry :) iPhone 16 Pro is a great device (out of the box, easier workflow, etc;)
Bring that miracle app to iOS too. MotionCam App is a beast!
Vivo x200 on sensor HDR and denoise 9400
Looking forward on next x200u
we need to see the Iphone 16pm vs S24U before S25U release
Is more about RAW than the device ;)
I believe more people own the S24 Ultra than the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, suggesting that more raw video comparisons would benefit them.
Lets see what s25 series brings ;) @@adamsmite6744
@MotionCam Correct. It's entirely about post processing or no post processing. Post processing takes control away from the user. This is perfectly acceptable for general users but less desirable for creatives who want to be in control of their image. The bigger sensor of the Xiaomi will have nearly a negligible effect on the final output. The tiny differences won't even be processed by the eye of a general audience.
@@matthewhartman7176yeah, I agree but on larger screen or Tvs and monitor I definitely see it.
totally groundbreaking mobile film making app ever ,keep your great job on. hopefully someday you can make a comparison between raw mode and direct log mode, after all , log has more friendly workflow than raw
Thanks, we will do after V4 is out
@@MotionCam seems v4 is rumbling,really looking up to it
Image quality is not filmmaking, it's a fraction of the equation. There are masterful films created with subpar image quality. Just setting the expectation and definition of "filmmaking" correctly so that ppl can learn more about the craft itself as a whole.
Only thing that can save apple in future is 6K Bayer downsampled to 4K ProRes LOG :) else their chroma denoising isn't high quality leading to wider colour blotches. Rest they also need to fix the lowered white clipping point bug in manual exposure mode. 2-3 years back with iphone 12/13 pro they were not even meeting the bare minimum standards thanks to LTM Rec.709 :)
By the time Apple reaches there we might as well shift to 8K Bayer 100FPS with a 12bit linear ADC 😀🤞
Does the Xiaomi footage use the multi-frame RAW noise reduction feature (looks like it from the temporal noise characteristics)? It was really effective when I was using it on a Samsung S23 Ultra, but I'm using an iPhone now. I do notice that the detail is worse like you show on this test for iPhone, but I prefer the iPhone workflow (Blackmagic Camera) more.
As you should, each device has its own advantages, noise was removed in post. Thanks
