Video - bad quality, faces blurred. What's the problem? - Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers

I just noticed a huge problem with 1080p video from my Mi Max 3 (original rom 6/128). Faces are totally blurred and flattened, huge quality problems. It looks the same in the phone itself then playing back. Why??? I don't want to root it but still have to shoot 1080p30 with image stabilization. Are there alternatives for stock camera app that can do that and don't crap out like that?
This is the link to example video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/e7gSKxykBVtXL5pW9

That is strange, have you tried video elsewhere

All videos from yesterday are like this. I didn't try anything else. It was cold but not too cold. I don't see anything in the settings that could have resulted in this... Why are those blobs there instead of faces? Weird... Older videos seem fine, however there was a recent firmware update...

Photos from the same day at the same time are also like this! But other photos are fine... I'm starting to think it was some kind of condensation on the glass or temperature affecting sensor or something like that, although it wasn't that cold, maybe -8C. Other person shooting on iphone got fine photos and videos. Weird...

1080p video is zoomed in

I have noticed when I am in the video recorder and switch to 1920x1080 resolution I notice the video zooms in to around 2x and says "zooming is not allowed in full HD" when I try to zoom out. This causes the recorded video to look like crap and noticeably lower quality than the 720p videos I record, especially on a pc..
Does anyone know why this is, if anyone else is having the same problem and if there is any way to fix it?
I can confirm I see the same thing.

Same here!
I got some good results with my videos, but only when i wasn't trying to shoot something up close.
I am really disappointed 1080p was one of the big things I was looking forward to with the GS2 and now I find that it's a lower quality video than the 720p... Hopefully someone has a fix or this is an issue Samsung is working on.

[Q] video very grainy Note II

Hey everyone
Has anyone noticed or is it just me, the camera app looks perfect on the screen when its on picture.
If I slide it to video it becomes grainy with a lot of noise.
Its a huge difference between the quality of the two.
The noise is visable in the playback of the video.
I was trying to convert my iphone brother to android and he laughed at how much better his video was.
Any ideas or anyone experianced the same?
anyone or is it just me
I've been having a similar issue with my T-Mobile Note II! For some reason while the camera is running, a photo is displayed, or a video is playing, the screen renders everything kinda grainy. I thought it was my imagination, but when I open up a menu, all the icons and options look different too, they don't look smooth anymore, and the color is off. Kind of like a bad jpeg. It's even more noticeable when I use the pop up player, it effects everything I'm doing on the screen until I close the video.
This only happens while content is being displayed, though. When browsing the gallery or scrolling through my video list everything looks fine, until I open something. What's even weirder is this only happens in Samsung's camera, gallery, and video apps. Using any different media app to display content (I tested Camera Zoom FX, MX Player, File Expert, ect.) doesn't cause this at all. It sounds very software specific. I'm not sure if you've tried using a different video player besides the stock app, but try it and see if it looks the same.
I went to T-Mobile and replaced my phone yesterday, thinking it was just me, but the new one is doing it too -_-. You're the first person on any of the forums who seems to have noticed the same thing, lol. I was beginning to think I was going crazy

Has Anyone Gotten The Camera Stablization Update?

I saw an article about this and also a video where a guy was updating his phone. He showed that he was updating, but he didn't show the results, which is weird. For a lot of videos I've watched, when capturing video, they come out very 'shaky' on the Honor 7x. I want this phone, but that's the one thing putting me off from it. If anyone has the stability update, is video smoother in motion now? Could you make a video with a recording to show the difference?
There was no stability update that added any kind of image stabilization.

Camera Bug With Instagram and Snapchat

Hi,
I have bought this device 2 days ago and it is very good, but I have a problem when it comes to the camera, let me explain.
When i take a picture with the camera app, the "preview" of that photo in the screen looks very bad, but after taking the photo it processes it and takes a good photo.
The problem is that when I try to take an instagram stories video, the video slows very much and the fps drop in the video. Also when i'm taking a photo with an instagram filter, it looks like the "preview" of a photo in the stock camera app, and it really looks with so bad quality, like it is a 3 megapixel camera, that also happens to me in snapchat, the quality is very poor taking a photo, and it seems like it doesn't process the image.
I don't know it that will be fixed enabling camera2 api (but i want to keep my warranty) or it is a major bug with instagram and snapchat. (I have also thought it might be a bug witrh the 18:9 ratio, but idk). Help me.
Currently using Miui stock rom in version 9.5.19.0

Pixelated/Jagged Video Issue with Redmi Note 5 Pro (Facebook, Instagram, Twitch)

Hi I just got my Redmi Note 5 Pro, everything works fine but one thing that I'm really frustrated with is when I'm watching videos (not photos) on native apps like Facebook, Instagram or Twitch, the video is super pixelated and horrendous even at highest quality chosen. However, when I try to visit these sites on browser (Chrome) and watch the video, everything works fine, the quality is perfect. Here is some sample screenshots that I've taken: https://imgur.com/a/BwyBL3z (notice the pixelated and border of the text, it's actually horrible)
And here is my phone specs (About phone): https://imgur.com/a/vhg2OY1
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this because of MIUI 10 or some problems with my phone?
More information: Youtube and Twitter in-app video seems to work fine, at least visually to my eyes. By the way, please don't tell me it's the internet issue because my internet is great and everything loads at highest quality option. Thanks for reading.

I think its a software issue and it sucks, try uploading something in Instagram (instagram stories) and experience the 3 fps video and the worst quality ever, I dont know why this happens, but I'm thinking of selling my xiaomi redmi note 5 pro, for these tiny but very important problems for me.

For the Instagram:
It is software issue, but not hardware-software problem, its more like software-rom problem, because i used to experience that too, atleast for the Instagram. But..... it was when i use MIUI 10, right after i tried custom rom, (i use PE) the problem is gone, and Instagram is capable to upload at the highest quality too (2k @ 60fps). So the conclusion is that, instagram not fully optimized for MIUI yet, because it has a lot of bugs in it. by the way, if you really wanted to fix that ig problem and dont want to change rom, i can suggest you to try GBinsta (look it up at google search you can find one), i dont know why, using the modded apk seems to work better at MIUI. So good luck, have a nice day :good:

Thanks for the advice. I tried Instagram version 51 and the upload quality is superb, and it sucks that such a great spec'd phone has so tiny annoying problems I even sent bug reports to Xiaomi via e-mail and didn't get a single reply, before this phone I had a Samsung Galaxy Note 8, and the camera in snapchat was HORRIBLE to say the least. I think android in general has these problems, because when I use my friends iPhone 6S Plus, the picture quality or video quality in every app is superb, and video quality in apps like IG or Facebook is superb too. Literally thinking about switching to iPhone even though I love the freedom of android.
Thanks for your reply.
slightly off topic but i've noticed photos i share in facebook messenger look very jagged , especially screenshots .
