Filming videos with my iphone 4s?
I want to make youtube videos. I would mostly be filming outside. Would my iphone 4s be a good enough quality? Or would i need a camera? I think editting would be better on my iphone too since my laptop and desk top arent that great and i'm always on my phone and kno of good editting soft wares on phones. So i do think it would be easier. Do you kno any youtubers who have videos filmed with their iphone?
I've tried this once before, and although the quality may LOOK good as you're recording, if comes out absolutely awful the minute it's uploaded. You should probably use a camera.
You won't need anything expensive like a Canon for good quality, because I actually have an HD Samsung camera (sorry, I forgot the specific kind!) and it works just fine!
It depends. One of the problems I've found is getting close enough to the subject you are capturing to video. You really need to get pretty close - and many times that is not possible.
The next problem I've had is lighting. The iPhone is good, but needs lots of light - preferably, sunny daylight.
The last main issue is audio. If the audio is really loud or really low, it just does not turn out real well.
I found these iPhone video and still image examples - of close-up, no audio other than what was added during editing and still photos…

If you understand the limitations of the device and work around them and use a decent editor before uploading, it can actually work… But can take extra effort. There will be times when it just won't do what you want, too… You did not tell us what computer you use. I edit with Final Cut on a Mac… IMovie, sometimes… If you are a Windows user, Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere are the usual suspects. MovieMaker can't deal directly with the video files form an iPhone, so they just need to be transcoded (converted) to a useful file type (like WMV).
It is likely a camrder will be easier to use and provide a larger video capture window of opportunity. If you go this route, your step 1 is to set a budget. My Sony HDR-FX1 and HDR-FX1000 are not exactly inexpensive…
- Where should you look when filming a youtube video on your iphone, of yourself? Where should I focus my eyes? I was looking at myself in the reverse cam but that doesn't look right. Is it?
- What is the best bang for your buck video camera for retro style filming at 24 fps, 4K resolution, and no camera judder? Below $1,250? I use an anamorphic adapter lens for an iPhone 6s Plus(+filmic pro) and while the footage is 10 times better than basic iPhone footage, I can't help but notice the jerkiness of edged objects at 24 frames even when I'm holding the phone as still as I can. I've experimented with different frames, shutter speeds, ISO
- What is a good video filming and editing app? I need to film a project for my class and we will be doing it on my phone. I need a good iPhone app that will let me take a decent video and edit it (jump cuts) free please?
- What is a good cheap camera for filming? I'm going to start vlogging on YouTube this summer, since i have nothing better to do. But then i'm gonna need a good camera. I was thinking about a compact camera ofcourse, and i really want a nice quality so it will be watchable. My price range is 100 euro's.
