Photo/Video Editor - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Unless I'm missing something...I am stunned there is no video editor. Took an awesome slow motion video I wanted to edit. Any suggestions on a good one?

Options are limited. But I heard Cyberlink's PowerDirector isn't half bad:

What do you think about it. I just downloaded and tried it and it is a bit confusing. I mean I got it but it isn't very intuitive

I haven't used it personally. I've only heard people talking about it which led me to look it up at one point. As I was looking through the screenshots of the app I figured it was easier for me to just use my computer with a full featured editor. But for a mobile editor on android, it's probably your best bet. Sorry I can't provide more info.

You're fine bud I appreciate the reply regardless

I've used the Power Director program on my computer before. It does work well, when it works. I find that 70% of the time it crashes and you lose your work. I'll have to get it a shot on my phone.

Video quality uploaded on Youtube

Hello
I uploaded 1080p and 720p videos taken with my Note 2 on Youtube. But then the quality is very bad when im watching them on the youtube app frop the phone. Even in HQ. Is this normal ?
Same thing watching them from a computer in 480p ( i have to choose 720p streaming minimum to have it quite ok but for me its a lof of time to load) but I have seen some video test taken with the Note 2 and they look fine in 360p.
Anyone experienced it or has a solution ?
Can you give us a link to the YouTube video so we can see what's going on?
I haven't uploaded video into YouTube from this phone, but I don't see why the quality would be poor.

you have to wait for a while for YouTube to work on the video first.

really ? I'll wait a few days then and see what happens.
Just checked from the phone, it's HD, no problem with that. Quality looks okay.
One thing, in phone, HQ and HD are two completely different things. HQ could be 480P but HD is 720P.

The quality is hd and looks fine on my phone. What exactly aren't you happy with? Does it look blurry? Blocky? Jerky?
Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks for playing my video.
This is the quality I have with the HQ activated.
I'm not sure this is an okay quality, i've seen better. You both had the same kind of view ?
Even played it with my LG phone, its the same.
Just so we clear, I just have to click on the HQ button on the bottom left corner right ?

I'm not sure if this screen capture will be posted in high quality, but the one you posted does look very low resolution.

The uploader on xda app only proposes me 640x360 max size.
But we can see my quality is completely different from yours no ?
You cant even identify childrens face lol ! I have no clue

Again, if the video is 720P, then it should show HD button, not HQ, on your Note.

It is a 1080p video ! First you should try it on your computer you'll see the quality is very bad in 360.
And I have never seen a HD button on youtube android app, only HQ. Have you ? Its the same with my LG phone, shows HQ.

Well I rarely see videos which show HQ. I see HD most of the time.

I feel dumb lol. I found the reason why I havent got it HD. using WiFi gives me HD. but 3G network doesnt. I always use Mobile data.
I really have a good network connection, the carrier or Youtube must have blocked HD videos. still, my 3G HQ quality really sucks then
thanks for your time
now for the second part of the matter, is this normal 360p using the computer to stream is such a bad quality ?

Just enable hd on mobile data if you have a big enough data plan.

Do you have a compression app like Onavo Extend running? Maybe the video is being compressed to save bandwidth on playback?
Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 using Tapatalk 2
The native YouTube app on our phones only support HQ on mobile data. HD on wifi.
There is a hacked YouTube app on XDA which allows HD on mobile data, but you need to root to be able to install it.
I'm using it at the moment and it's beautiful.
It's got nothing to do with your carrier blocking HD on mobile data, just the YouTube app itself.
Try the hacked YouTube app here on XDA.

EDIT: it definitely works ! thanks a lot

Yes yes I previously edited my comment thanks again

Video editor

I want to believe that my Note can do basic editing comparable to windows movie maker on a pc. Haven't found anything yet.
As always, I am deeply grateful to all your kindness.

Yeah, been looking for one myself. Heard a great deal of good stuff about the video editor from the GN1, however it can't be found.
I wish there was a good video editing app out there for our GN2.

Thanks for that head's up, it looks better than nothing but sadly it still doesn't look like the S-Pen Video Maker-Editor app on the International Note1:
http://www.samsungapps.com/mars/top...?categoryId=G000014699&productId=000000517105
Under Comments: "not the same as Video maker. No S-pen lnput. pls. put it back in the market
Nov 23, 2012"
Anyone confirm there is no S-Pen input as stated under comments?

Can The 1+ Camera take 360 degree photos?

Just wondering if I need to download a separate app to do that.
+1 to this question!
No, the default app only has classic panorama mode, no 360°. You'll need another app (like Google camera) to do that.

Captured some great shot on Google Camera.
Works Perfectly.
Samsung takes really decent 360 images ..i wasn't able to achieve the same standards using google camera or street view .anyone ever got a decent one from op3 ? Can you share ?

Gallery app for pixel

Has anyone found a really good gallery app that works well with the Pixel?
I don't like Google Photos and I tried using Piktures but it causes issues when i try deleting images.
Is anyone able to get the new Samsung Gallery from the S7 working on the Pixel?
Thanks
I use QuickPic, have for years.

This is the AOSP gallery app. Works well on my Pixel XL
Play store just search gallery and its the first one 4.3 stars it's amazing! Try it you'll thank me later
APP name: Gallery, from Fayvr Media Ltd.
Called MyRoll Gallery before, and the only disadvantage is the ad. Sometime it's annoying.
I use HTC Gallery
Another vote for QuickPic. I've been using it for years and it works great. Even on folders with thousands and thousands of pictures in it.

I was actually looking for that.
Used to have it on my HTC 10 and was pretty happy with it.
Thanks everyone!
Samsung gallery is the best but sadly not installable in other brand phones
I use camera roll. I think it's good.
QuickPic is from Cheetah Mobile which is a untrustworthy company isn't it?
I don't have an issue with google pictures personally. what are people's problems with it?
Simple Gallery!

It wasn't always the case. There's a resigned version of the app in the XDA forums which will block the updates to when CM acquired Quicpic.

Can you turn motion photos into GIFs?

When you save motion photos as video and upload it to social media it sends like a video. Is there a way to make it into a looping GIF?
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
only way I have found is by using an app.
many on play store, but motion stills by google seems to work best for me.
The quality is so bad though
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
Motion stills app by Google can loop it. Not sure but I think you can view your motion pictures in the motion stills app and convert.
