Gallus

Create stabilized / hyperlapse (64x) / +GPS videos with your Android device

Please Note: Gallus will be unpublished from the Play Store by year end, the technology integrated into much more targeted, income-producing projects. Huge thanks to the great users who provided encouragement and feedback, making it all worthwhile.

Quickstart - Record a video in Gallus. On playback preview use the volume buttons to adjust stabilization if imperfect, or disable stabilization via the camera shake toggle. Change playback speed with the speedometer button. Long press the stabilization toggle (the camera with rotation symbols) to adjust magnitude of corrections. If you recorded location data with your video (see settings), attach overlays like speed, distance, route, and location via the attachment button. Choose if you want the video cropped or not via the crop button. If you like the results, click on the save button to render to an output that you can share with others or access in the future.

Access previous recordings by clicking in the gallery, and previous renders by long pressing a gallery item.

Note that Gallus may not work on your device. It uses very advanced functionality of the platform and hardware, and is dependent on a reliable system image and device, and not all devices satisfy that requirement.

The first recording made with Gallus will often have interruptions and frame skips, courtesy of first-run Android system optimizations. Please make a throw-away recording to prime the OS and ignore the defects. Subsequent recordings will be flawless. This is due to Android platform behaviors outside of my control.

Gallus was an IP research project, and is now being used as the basis of other innovative solutions. If you're a mobile developer or researcher, see the attached website for details.

Gallus is a stabilizing video capture and hyperlapse/instrumented video rendering application for Android. It provides advanced Electronic Image Stabilization for all Android devices with gyroscopes, and allows for optional route, location, distance and speed overlays if location tracking is enabled (location metadata is stored privately, separate from videos, and will only be shared if intentionally selected as an overlay of rendered videos).

• Class leading image stabilization

• Instrumented videos with optional overlays displaying the video route, longitude and latitude, speed and distance, contingent upon a good GPS signal

• Full quality video recording, at configurable resolutions and bitrates. The original recording is captured as is with no processing to ensure that memories are never lost, with correlating metadata that allows Gallus to optionally render stabilized, hyperlapse or slow motion videos. Because Gallus performs stabilization as a post process, it can accurately map the path with knowledge of the future, versus predictive stabilization that is guessing the trends of movements.

• HEVC / h265 video compression on capable devices

• Use the back or front camera, switching with a simple swipe.

• Gyroscope stabilized, perspective mapped video (with rolling shutter compensation) yielding incredibly stable videos on most devices.

• Touch to focus / touch to expose. Optional fixed exposure. Even if you never use stabilization or time lapse/hyperlapse functions, it's one of the best video capture applications available. Touch the desired focal point in the preview window to focus and optionally fix exposure, clicking on the fixed focus button to switch back to autofocus.

• Hyperlapse videos at up to 64x speed, or in slow-motion down to 1/10th speed. Render high quality outputs, at the original video resolution (including 2K and 4K if your device supports it).

• Renders can optionally include the time-scaled audio
