If you have found this article, it is probably because you want to improve the quality of the videos on Android. Despite the fact that most phones have relatively decent cameras, many manufacturers choose to integrate sensors of little or no quality. That is why we are forced to resort to applications to improve videos on Android, and today we will show you how through these.
Record at the highest quality on Android with Open Camera
It is well known that manufacturers' Android video recording applications are becoming more and more powerful. However, most of these do not tend to take advantage of all the performance of smartphones when it comes to video recording, since some are capped or limited by default. Resorting to external applications is the best in this case, and Open Camera is one of the best - and free - to record videos up to 4K.
Once we have downloaded and installed it on our mobile, we will open it giving it all the necessary permissions and we will give the gear wheel corresponding to the application Settings. Later we will click on Video Settings and then a series of interesting options will appear. The three that interest us in this case are Video Resolution, Video Bit Rate, and Video Frame Rate.
The values to be established in each of these options may vary depending on the device and its possibilities. Here are the most recommended values:
- Video Resolution: Highest Ever
- Bit rate: 20 for FullHD, 30 for 2K and 40 for 4K
- Frame rate: 60 if possible
When we have selected all these values, we will exit the configuration and begin to record the video. In the event that it gives us some incompatibility value, we will have to vary these same values until it lets us make the recording.
Stabilize a video on Android with Google Photos
A free video stabilizer? Google Photos delivers on that and more. Once we have our video recorded, the next step to improve its quality will be to stabilize it. To do this, and as we have just mentioned, we will have to download the Google Photos application on our smartphone.
After having downloaded it, we will open it and go to the video that we want to stabilize. Now we just have to click on the Settings button, which corresponds to the second in the bottom bar on the left and finally select the Stabilize option; the video will automatically start to stabilize. When the process is finished we will click Save.
Edit videos on Android with inShot
We have recorded videos at the highest quality with Open Camera and have stabilized them through Google Photos. What's next to improve the quality of the videos? Edit them. Currently there are many apps to edit videos on Android, however, the one that has worked best for us is without a doubt inShot, which can be downloaded for free.
When we have installed it on our mobile or tablet, we will open it and select the video that we want to edit in the Create new video button. The editor will then open with a multitude of options that will allow us to carry out actions such as changing the speed of a video, improving the quality, increasing the sound and even adding several videos within the original. The best of all is that once we have edited it we can save it at higher qualities than the original video; We will only have to enter it manually and the editor will automatically begin to rescale the video to 2K, 4K or the resolution we have chosen.
