Test: iPhone 4 + iMovie for the iPhone

Junyor — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 03:51:02 +0000

Here is a quick test of the video recording and editing capabilities on the iPhone 4. This video was shot in low light while the iPhone was held stationary with an In Your Face viewbase. I used iMovie for the iPhone to edit down several different takes into one 30 second spot–then I exported and uploaded to YouTube–all from the phone.

The process was relatively simple with the biggest hitch being the amount of time it took to trim the video clip. You highlight and drag, recenter, highlight and drag. It was the only part of the entire test that wasn’t a breeze.

The IYF viewbase is still available through amazon for $29.95. My only note would be that it makes a better holder for watching videos than it does for shooting them. There are probably better solutions out there, but I had it handy and it worked in a pinch.

Still Tinkering: YouTube, Ustream, Mogulus, Stickam, Skype

I screwed around with the webcam a little more yesterday. So far I’ve managed to test out YouTube, Ustream, Mogulus, Stickam, Skype & Yahoo Messenger with varied results. I am definitely a greenhorn, but if you are so inclined you can watch an 8 minute video of my experiences to date. I haven’t tested out Kyte.TV yet, but plan on doing that tonight.

List of services mentioned in the video:

Testing out video sites

The excitement of having a new webcam hasn’t worn off yet. I decided to try out two more video services, Ustream.tv & Mogulus. I took some pretty crappy video, mispronounced a few names, but all-in-all, enjoyed test driving both of these services. Ustream is definitely the easier of the two to use, but Mogulus has some really cool features. Ustream was also the winner in the live streaming quality department, but as for recording they seem about the same. If you watch the video you’ll see my excitement at finding some new feature midway through the recording.

Ustream also supports embedding your videos on another site, something that I couldn’t figure out how to do with Mogulus. I could embed my Mogulus channel, but if you are not live and don’t have loops setup, it isn’t very useful. If you want to see my video there, you’ll need to head over to my Mogulus page and click “On-Demand” and select the clip to play.

I like Ustream better, but you be the judge. In addition, I’ve posted the blip.tv upload from my AT&T Tilt that I mentioned on the Ustream vid. Oh, and remember, I am a newbie – so be kind if you comment.

Here I am testing out my new Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000. I want to start doing some video blog posts and video calls. Remember: be kind, I am camera shy!
