APP IMPROVEMENT
TRYING TO CONSOLIDATE SOME OF MY THOUGHTS FOR APP IMPROVEMENT.
Please provide comments!
timeline zoom in/out
...this will minimize wasted (scrolling) time
...this will give finer granularity - sometimes you want two keyframes quite close which is currently difficult or impossible!
keyframe transitions where each keyframe has an associated transition
...this will eliminate the need to double up on keyframes and allow for much easier edits. also makes keyframes much easier to manage
...add transitions other than the current "linear pan/tilt/zoom from previous keyframe" one. examples: rotate axis, fade in/out, immediate, etc. (endless possibilities).
...each transition would have its necessary parameters.
copy/cut and paste keyframes. select keyframe - copy/cut - select time - paste. Only need to add three (copy, cut, paste) menu items. make copy and cut visible when keyframes are selected and make paste visible somewhere only if clipboard contains keyframe data
...this would be an easy update that would improve keyframing functionality exponentially
...simple - I think I did half the work here already!!
...this along with keyframe transitions would allow for much easier re-edits!
too easy to start/pause video when trying to select functions on menu overlay. disable play/pause/pan/tilt/etc in menu areas.
...increase menu overlay objects active area where all other functions are disabled?
get the app and studio in sync - they should have same features. maybe one dev team is more capable than the other?!
import/export edits so they can be archived with original footage and/or be used later. make these exports interchangeable between all platforms
...one puts a lot of effort getting their production the way they want and might want to do slight adjustments at a later date - and may want to change platforms!
...finished editing and exporting final video yesterday and moved original video off phone to archive. new or improved feature today that you would like to implement in the video but would have to do all edits over again - way too time consuming - plus you could never recreate exactly!!!
ability to specify an additional media location - default location and a spot on memory card or other external storage. keep benefit of faster (phone) internal memory but also can extend as phone is space limited.
ability to connect to camera on the same wifi network so one can do internet things at same time!
...still need to keep the direct wifi connection ability for remote use
...when updating the camera firmware to support "home" wifi connection, also add a webserver so one can use a browser (any platform) for camera config, control, and preview.
...make this webserver optional so resources are not wasted when not wanted.
...this webserver would open up other possibilities!!
looking forward to seeing these in android app 1.2.(next release?)
