With DollyCam you can record videos and then stabilize them to remove camera shake. DollyCam also corrects wobble caused by the camera's rolling shutter. The resulting videos are much smoother than the original recordings and are more pleasant to watch.
When stabilizing a video black borders might appear. DollyCam solves this problem using two different techniques:
- Zooming: DollyCam chooses a suitable zoom level depending on how your device was moved during recording
- Extrapolation: DollyCam extrapolates each frame of the video to fill the black borders
DollyCam does not remove motion blur. To get the best possible results, record videos in good light conditions.
Features:
- Full 30 fps video recording in HD (720p), VGA (480p) and HVGA (360p) resolutions
- Video stabilization
- Rolling shutter correction
- Zoom adaptively to reduce black borders (optional)
- Extrapolation to reduce black borders (optional)
- Export videos to your camera roll

So Near, And Yet, So What.

Nice idea. Many flaws. 1. You MUST use their recorder. If you shoot 720p video, you only see the central 3:4 chunk of the image. So you can't frame critically. 2. In an iPhone 4, processing takes 8 times the clip length to process. On an iPad 2 it's a bit faster. But you will hate processing an eight-minute clip (hour +). 3. No batch process. You must do each one MANUALLY, then wait until it is finished before MANUALLY moving on to the next one. 4. No automatic placement of clips into your Camera Roll. You have to do that manually, too. For each shot. Individually. 5. No locking of exposure or focus. Meaning the camera function isn't even as good as Apple's default camera (because of #1). 6. No ability to process existing clips. Meaning you can't shoot with any other app, then import the file for stabilization. 7. No adjustment for stabilization or rolling shutter repair strengths. iMovie has that and only costs $15. I am sooo glad to have a Steadicam Smoothee.
Did they even test this?

Crashes. Every. Single. Time. I want a refund... Or a fix ASAP. Developers?
No Import

Why would someone create an app like this without being able to import footage? There are better apps to record video. I'd like to be able to use this in conjunction with those. I payed $2.99 for this and I can't really use it. It's kind of inexcusable. I'd be happy to change my rating if this feature was added.
Amazing Concept, BUT...

This app has such a cool concept- too bad it doesn't work. Every time I try to stabilize a video, the app crashes at around "80%" completion. I hate to sound like a broken record (as I am repeating what many of these other reviews are saying), but it is very important that this issue gets fixed. Until then I just threw away a few bucks, for literally nothing.
Hope fulfilled
