Shame that you can't record videos horizontally, I hope that one day science will create device that will allow to do that because that would be easy way to get both the bird and the cat into the frame without flicking camera between them.
Maybe in the future.

We're just not there yet technologically.

We should solve the battery storage issue first then we can work on flipping cameras horizontally

[–]nukedukem42 10ポイント11ポイント  (0子コメント)

I have seen maybe one or two vertical videos where it is better framing than horizontal. They involved people jumping off cliffs.

For some reason, for me, the back and forth because of the portrait mode almost added to the comedy of it.

[–]irdevonk 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Agreed m8, allowed for some good comedic timing

I can't believe people are downvoting you for this, that is what was thinking the whole time! What are they doing just turn it to landscape and you get the whole thing!! Back and forth... bird... cat....bird..cat...TURN THE DAMN CAMERA!!!

[–]dimmmo 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

why doesn't the camera app just put a honking great message on the screen when you press the video button?

TURN THE CAMERA OVER TO MAKE GOOD VIDEOS.

I had a camera app once that actually did something like this... Though in a slightly more polite way :D

[–]Stoppels 12ポイント13ポイント  (7子コメント)

Note though, if it's a mobile phone and they're already filming, it won't automatically change the orientation like it would when you're not filming.

[–]CaptainObvious_1 13ポイント14ポイント  (6子コメント)

Yeah but you can flip it post process so that's not a big deal.

[–]meathappening 29ポイント30ポイント  (0子コメント)

The type of people filming vertically are not the type of people who know what "post processing" means.

[–]Heknarf 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

Once you start recording one way, you have to follow through with it. Turning it the other way just makes things much worse.

You know what I was mentally agreeing with you at first but then I watched it again and I actually like the cartoony effect that switching between both has in this case.

[–]OrdinaryBird 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

Thank you. It's like the perfect example of the stupidity of vertical videos.

[–]atomicpaperclip2 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

As a mobile user I actually like vertical videos when they display properly.

[–]TurnbullFL 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Which is never, except on the phone.

[–]BlackandRead 3ポイント4ポイント  (6子コメント)

I don't disagree but after almost 10 years you'd think smartphones could give a warning that stated "Hey, you might want to rotate your phone for this video you've started, dismiss y/n".

[–]blue-bull 7ポイント8ポイント  (3子コメント)

Can't it just automatically film in landscape, even if you're holding it portrait? And then there could be an button to film portrait if you wanted.

[–]orost 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

The camera sensor is a rectangle and you need to physically rotate it to make a landscape video.

Possible solutions are having a larger square sensor or a mechanism that rotates it but that's a lot of extra cost for something that can also be achieved by simply not being a total dumbass and holding your phone the right way.

Some camera apps do exactly this. Apparently not the default apps though.

[–]TStru 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

I used google camera on my old phone and it would do a little animation when you switched to video mode telling you to rotate your phone. Not sure if it still does or not.

[–]Higgz 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Some versions of android show an animation indicating you should rotate the phone horizontally. No notification or disruption of your recording, just a pulsing set of arrows, kinda like a rotating refresh symbol. Strangely, I just checked my phone and it doesnt do that, must have been another version of android or an older version of the camera app.

TL;DR: Your suggestion has been part of android before.

PS: I wish they just recorded all videos horizontally (via software) even if you hold the camera vertically. I believe some apps allow for this, havent used one.

[–]RobotJiz 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Why don't phone manufacturers just flip the sensor sideways if there isn't an easy software fix? It's natural to want to hold your phone vertical. I guess the makers have to consider the lowest percintile when making a phone. Or how about a phone with a camera on the top edge vs back like a tv remote control? You can be recording something without looking suspicious.

[–]samwisegamgeesus 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think it's so the image will fit the screen the way it's oriented, and they figure the layperson doesn't care enough about fancy framing or incognito video

[–]daredaki-sama 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I feel like this idea would take off a lot faster if one were able to take landscape videos while holding the phone in portrait mode.

[–]KillJoy4Fun 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

You're dreaming! Such technology is beyond our current understanding of Physics, Newtonian, Einsteinian and Quantum. Maybe in an alternate universe such a thing is possible.

[–]JimDiego 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

It was a directorial decision meant to heighten the tension in the scene. Possibly.

[–]ThunderinJaysus 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should!

[–]SuperNennius64 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

In all serioussness. The problem is an UI problem. Most "non-geek, average persons" do have dificulties to navigate the UI of the recording device fast enough in such a situation. They would like to record with the right orientation, but it proves to be to mysterious to pull off. The fault lies within the department of interface design. I am a geek and a designer, I love "gadgets". But if you think they are well designed you have no idea.

[–]servohahn 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Also maybe in the future there will be a format like animated gifs only they have sound, load faster, and allow you to do things like skip ahead, pause, or rewind at your leisure.

[–]yagmot -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

There should be a warning each time you start to shoot video vertically. It should also tell you to shut your fucking mouth. The only thing worse than vertical videos are the dumb comments and noises made by the dullards holding the camera.
