If I understand it right, the best use-case would be a party or event where I could place the Clips camera pointed at the center/stage. The camera would record for 3 hours and then at the end I could sync it with my phone to get the best clips.
I can imagine having 3-4 of these 'Pick me up and point me at something interesting' cameras for guests at a wedding. Instead of a human having to filter through hours and hours of video, wedding photographers could offer a set of cameras for $100/hour and then use the clips to make a short video with the most interesting clips.
- everdev 8y agoYes, but it only captures short motion pictures with no audio.
- onion2k 8y agoAs anyone who's been near a film set will tell you, capturing good quality audio in a busy environment is virtually impossible. You'll never get good sound using today's technology in a form like Clips, so that it doesn't really matter that it doesn't record it. Just dub some music or commentary over the top later.
- exodust 8y agoTell that to the billions of people already happily capturing video with sound on their phones. Considering playback is often a phone speaker, it's not like people require "film set" quality audio recordings. They just want to hear audio from the recorded location, no matter how rough. In saying that, I understand the Google Clips position with no audio, but I'd likely skip it because of this.
- dvfjsdhgfv 8y agoWell, you can always add the audio manually from the original clip. If it marks the timestamps, this could be done by a simple mp4box script.
- exodust 8y agoThe Google Clips camera does not have a mic, there is no audio in the original clip.
