New iPhone Video Apps!

Since the iPhone 3GS came out, video recording has been the thing to utlilize lately, what with all the custom camera mounts like the iPhone Gorillapod and Zacuto’s custom rigs, you might feel a little left out if you don’t have the 3GS yet.  Not to fear!  There are three new apps out that actually allow you to take video using your normal ol’ 3G iPhone!.

Ustream Live iPhone Streamer

Thought only to be a concept for the, at least, further off future than present day… You can now stream live from your Ustream.tv account!  This is a breakthrough in online video and personal media syndication, and Ustream is at the forefront of it!  The application allows most of the functions of the Live Broadcast window including polling, auto record, sharing on social media sites, viewing chat, chatting and social stream, managing videos, and tons more.  You can also tune into channels and watch shows from your phone too!  The app uses the iPhone OS 3.1 and is only supported on 3G and 3GS phones… oh yeah, and did I mention its free?

iTimelapse Pro

I was lucky enough to scoop this app up when it was free for a few days at the initial release, and it couldn’t be any cooler.  It essentially is a photography app that you set it up to take pictures at certain intervals throughout a certain period of time.  Usually you would take those pictures into an editor and time them correctly to create a time lapse movie, but with this app, you don’t even have to transfer to your computer!  Its all available to do on you iPhone!  You can render your videos directly to your phone, and then publish to Youtube, Facebook or whatever to show all your friends!  Price on this one is $2.99 but I highly recommend it if you are fascinated by time lapse photography.

iVideoCamera

Now, this is kind of an iffy app right now, but I can tell that it is going to be great down the line.  What iVideoCamera does, is utilizes your iPhone’s still camera to record 3 frames per second (I know… there is an update on the way), and then you can save that to Youtube, Myspace, Facebook… whatever.  The limitations on this are pretty bad though; 160×213 frame size, and a minute long of video only allowed.  Obviously if you have a 3GS iPhone you don’t need this, and the quality on the 3GS is phenomenally better, but its just a matter of time before Laan Labs cracks through and figures out how to make this a must-have app.  Right now it is only $0.99, but personally I would hold off until the next update to see if it gets any better.

.So that’s all that’s really new on the video app front, keep checking up on these to get the updates and utilize the new features that they will be coming out with, especially the iVideoCamera app… I have a feeling that it has a lot of potential that will be realized here in the near future.
