Sweet photo editor - Nexus 7 Themes and Apps

For those that can stand editing on a 7" screen. Just tried Snapseed and does a great job. Only played about 10 minutes, but it's better than anything else I've tried (Canvas, Pixlr, Picsay+).
edit: Can toss this, just saw the other thread. I had no problem direct from Play store.

Now if they could somehow incorporate RAW file support into this. That way I could go on vacation and do quick uploads of vacation pics before I delf into real editing when I am back.

[Q] Android Video Editing app??

I kinda wanted to make this funny video to just add on to my powerpoint for english and i wanted to add on Tokyo Drift by the Teriyaki boyz to the video, but the video wont transfer to my computer. SO the point to this post is there any app that i can edit this video with? or add music to it atleast
I've looked around for a while for this and have only found the "cloud" editing to semi-work on my evo: http://www.youtube.com/editor OR http://jaycut.com/
^^ its better than nothing
This looks good (if they'd release it for android):http://www.arcsoft.com/en-us/software_title.asp?ProductCode=AVE&dyContent=details#submenu
Edit: Seems that there is a version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770737

Put.io WP7

For anyone using the file service Put.io, this app lets you stream and locally store MP4 converted videos.
This was my 1st WP7 app, learning the ropes etc - however I will not work on it in its current state (a redesign is required)
However, until the day I get my act together feel free to try this version for free and watch those videos easily
More dev updates will be found at X-Volt.com
P.s this can only run videos on a device that is not connected to the computer!
thx workshop2
I forgot to say, tap and hold items for the context menu (the only working options are stream/open video and download a video - if the file is local then it can also be deleted)
A few bugs?
Great app if I could get it to work. When I sign in an error pops up saying:
Error converting value "2558511245" to type 'System.Int32'.
I press ok and it continues to connect. I go to my files folder but I havent been able to get it to download. I get another error saying theres a problem with mediaplayer....Then it signs back in with your user key and api secret. So I start all over and try to stream the movie. That worked.....almost :/ I had picture, but no audio. I checked the movie from my laptop and the movie does have sound. It just doesnt have sound while streaming to my WP7 HTC. Another thing is there anyway that our user key and api secret can be saved so we dont have to sign in every time we open the program or it crashes? That's also happened a few times. It crashes and I get a black error screen with a lot of writing.
So I have been driving myself crazy trying to get it to work. Do you think you could fix these issues in your next update?
Thanks so much!
Oops, I forgot I had my API key being saved (bit of a security issue there...)
To stream video you can't have the phone connected to the comp, but it runs fine on my phone (Omnia 7) however sometimes put.io conversions arn't always perfect.
If you can give me some more of the error message (converting number to int) so I can fix that for you, but as I said im not planning on doing much with this application as im going to rebuild it once im less busy. You can only download/steam films that have been converted, and to download you hold down on the item to bring up the context menu, then click download.
You can find the settings saving error fixed in the latest attachment at the top of the screen.
Thanks

Thank you for fixing the save settings. I've been filling my put.io account up with converted .mp4 movies. I bought a subscription to put.io so that I can use the app you developed. However when I open the app on my phone, the movie list shows up, but I'm not ablt to do anything with them. They wont open at all for streaming or downloading and I don't have my phone plugged into the computer when using the app. I cant hardly wait until you have the time to rebuild this app. When all the bugs ahve been worked out I think this app will be amazing. Until then I wait in frustration.........
Well I will say it could be months until I am able to do anything as this was just a research application into WP7 development (I learned many lessons )
For the moment, if you could give me more details about the movies not working - does an error appear? What does it say? Have you double checked Put.io to see if the videos are converted? All this information can help me see if I can fix anything...
I know the Mango update brings more video streaming capabilites in the near future, maybe that will help.
P.s I hope you lying about buying a sub to use this app

No, Im not kidding. I paid for a sub to put.io I've been adding .mp4 files to put.io from mobilism.org. The files are in .mp4 format. If I add them from my computer through Zune, they work on my phone, just not through the put.io app. At this time I am not getting any errors popping up because Im not able to do anything at all as I mentioned before.
Out of curiosity, I added an .avi movie to put.io and then from the site, converted it to .mp4. I wasnt able to view it from the app so I reinstalled your previous app and signed in. The .avi movie file showed in my list and I was able to stream it. However it buffered a LOT. I tried to download the file and eventually the app crashed. So I added the latest updated app back to my phone. Which puts me where I am now, still not able to download or stream my .mp4 files. Am I doing something wrong??
No, it sounds like the application isn't working. Dont hold your breath for a quick fix as im extremely busy at the moment. Thanks for the interest though, makes me want to do it even more (btw, what device are you using?)

I have the HTC Surround. Ok, I'll just just check back now and then as I am very interested in using your app
After a lot of trial and error, I figured out how to get the movies to stream to my phone. I have to upload torrent .avi files to put.io and then convert them to .mp4 from the site. Uploaded .mp4 files wont work for some reason. However, I also found an app ~ yomomedia. With yomomedia I can rss my put.io files and stream them to my phone. The stream player lets me rewind or fast forward through the movie and also saves my place if I need to leave the screen. With the put.io wm7 stream player, I can only pause the movie. If I leave the screen I loose the movie all together.
Just thought I'd let you know

[Q] Beam

I've done some googling but i haven't managed to come up with an answer to this either way...
Me and my friend both have the galaxy nexus and we tried to beam a picture but it wouldn't work.
After some research i've found that it isn't possible because of the gallery in the rom.
does anyone know if there are plans to change this so that pictures can be exchanged through beam?
It's not because of the gallery apk. It's because NFC has a very slow transfer rate. It would take a long time to send a picture.
Things that I have had success beaming are: market app links, browser links, youtube videos.
Yeah, you can really only send links and all, not actual content stored on you phone as far as i know. because it takes too long, and nfc may not even be capable of doing it. however, when you beam a youtube video, app, or website or something, you are basically sending the link to the other phone and then the other phone connects to that link through whatever app it uses like the Browser, Youtube app, or Market etc. to transfer actual content like photos stored in your phone, its probably best to use bluetooth or just email it or something.
i may be wrong though

Just upload your photo to drop box and beam the link, easiest way to do it.
Note: you can beam contact stored on phone, not just links.
Yeah we managed to beam apps which opened up my market... websites... youtube links and a contact from his phonebook to mine.
Guess we will have to stick to the good old bluetooth for pictures.
Still a very nice feature to play about with.
File Expert will speed up that bt transfer with an nfc tap.
And ShareNFC will add the ability to transfer files via NFC in an upcoming update.

[Q] Using Movie Studio and uploading to YouTube

With a recently purchased Galaxy Nexus in hand from Sprint, I tried to film a bit of the fireworks with the phone. All came out good but the video was a bit long. I trimmed the video down using the Movie Studio app. Cropped it down from over 1 minute to just a tad over 30 seconds. Exported the movie at 720p and at high quality. I post the video to YouTube for others to watch. After uploading to YouTube from both my phone and home computer I am not getting any sound after being uploaded. My phone is currently stock in every sense of the word, no root. I have tried Googling for help but nothing really helpful. I read a mentioning of possible "flattening" issues but not sure. Had anybody else have this problem? Any advice as long as it is helpful is much appreciated. Thank you for everyone's time.

HDR10+ videos conversion in Gallery app

Hi all,
I've been using my Galaxy Note 10+ 5G model shooting 4K HDR10+ videos and using the Gallery app to share them (or use the Instagram button to upload) and it converts it (though it says it is "compressing video") to standard SDR (so that people won't see a washed our HDR video on their non-HDR screens). So far, it's been good and works fine.
However, today I hit upon a problem where I was waiting for a video to convert/compress and it got stuck, so I cancelled it and tried it again and now the video won't share to Instagram properly, it says the file is not supported. I tried sharing the same file onto my cloud and downloading it onto my PC from there and the video is corrupted, so from what I can see is the SDR converted video file outputted by the gallery/video player app got corrupted during conversion and is useless as a converted video, but the original HDR10+ video in gallery is still fine and I can watch it in the Gallery app, but I can't RE-convert it as the gallery/video player app thinks it is already converted and if I try to share it, it just shares it fine without trying to convert it (again, as it thinks it has already converted it).
I double checked the original video file by downloading it onto my PC and since my monitor is not a HDR monitor, the video plays all washed out, showing that the video is still indeed a HDR10+ file.
I think my main question then is: where are these converted SDR videos actually stored on the phone? If the gallery/video app is converting these video files to SDR to be shared, are they stored somewhere? Or is it some kind of look-up table applied to the video file by the Gallery/Video player app and then shared out (but the original is still untouched as a file)?
I even tried clearing my cache in all the apps to see if it will re-convert the video but nope, as far the app is concerned, the video has already been converted.
Try converting another vid. May be just that one is mistagged. Clear data too if clearing cache doesn't get it done and my favorite cure; try clearing the system cache.

Other videos are fine, it was just that one video! I tried clearing cache, didn't work, so I'll try to clear data on the Gallery and video player app. If that doesn't work then I'll try clearing the system cache.
So no one knows where these converted files are stored or whether it is just some kind of lookup table applied to the file to convert to SDR? Surely if I am converting hundreds of videos, it should be taking up space on the phone's storage?!
Ah! I cleared the Gallery app's data (because clearing cache didn't work) and it reset the Gallery app and now I can convert that video file again and it works now! So the metadata or converted data is stored by the Gallery app somehow...

Yah. I was fearing it was the maybe video's metadata that was screwed up...
I really don't know how people who don't play with their Androids get by.
It's unnerving how easily Androids sometimes seem to pick up bad habits out of the blue. A lot of bugware out there.
Usually it's a simple fix if you play with it for a bit.
I loathe the "techies" who always fall back on the hard reset option in a blink of an eye rather than actually trying to find the issue.
I've had a lot of trouble with photo gallery apps since migrating to the Note 10+, you're not alone.
I don't use Samsung's... the native one worked so much better on my stupid S4+.
Progress? MS style maybe... I had to replace many of the Samsung apps that use to work fine on the S4+ with 3rd party ones to get the functionality I needed.
One of Samsung's subtle failings.

I know what you mean! I'm always fiddling around with my phone's settings. This feature of converting HDR to SDR videos bugged me for a while as I never knew how exactly it did it (coming from a PC video editing world, files obviously need to be stored somewhere and outputted somewhere if they are being converted) so it seems like the converted files are somehow stored inside the Gallery app, which is a bit strange but it would explain why once a video has been converted, it never needs converting again if you share it more than once (unless you clear the data like I just did now!). But I've had this phone since August 2019 and this is the first time the conversion messed up somehow...
I never liked the default Samsung gallery apps before, this is the first time I actually use it because I actually find the Gallery app on the Note 10+ to be half decent as it integrates with the video player, the conversion etc... and also the pics and videos actually look kind of decent in this app vs past apps, but in the past, on my S3 and Note 4, I've always used QuickPic as my gallery app (until they got bought out and went downhill from there). The only thing I miss on this default Gallery app is when you're scrolling through a lot of images and videos, on other apps if you hold the scrolling sidebar and scroll, it will bring up the date of the file so you know how far back you are scrolling (sometimes I need to go back to last year or even further back depending on the folder of pics I'm looking at) but the Samsung Gallery app doesn't highlight the date so you just have to find the file without help...
I use DV Gallery a lot. No ads.
Like the options it has for files it shows and more importantly ones it doesn't. Scanner images aren't what I want to see in my photo browser.
My biggest issue is with imported pic folders I loss the picture order. It's maddening. I have thousands of images with no easy way to restore them in date taken sequential order.
My PC based Canon apps can probably do it, maybe... stupid Android!!!

Ah yeah, frustrating! I know QuickPic used to be able to "fix" the date (although sometimes temporarily) and sort it in date taken sequential order. Doesn't the default Gallery app sort by date taken order? There's never one perfect app that covers all needs! I feel your pain.
