a review by Tom Piper
We have all used movie cameras for years, and are now delighted with the ability to capture videos on our iPhones and iPads. This has all been done in “real time”, but what if you are trying to capture a fast-moving object using a higher frame-rate, or a really slow-moving object with a low frame-rate? Such an app is now available from the makers of iSupr8.
Speed Machine from MEA Mobile is a fast and slow motion video recorder which enables you to record videos with an output frame rate ranging from 4 frames-per-second (fps) to 56fps. It does not record audio. You can first record your videos with a playback frame of 4fps, then watch these videos in slow motion, or record at 56fps and watch your movies in fast motion. Features of this app include:
- Selectable output anywhere from 4fps- 56fps
- Record in High Definition
- Adjustable video quality
- Large view screen
- Export to camera roll
- iTunes file sharing enabled
- AirPlay enabled
This is not a complicated video app. As the screenshot at right shows, there is the shiny LED button (turn iPhone light on), red Record button, the Preview button, and the Settings button. The viewscreen consuming the left 80% of the screen is a picture of the Setting frame rate dial and quality buttons. Once set, this is very much a point-and-shot app with the results saved in the Photos area.
