Meet MotionCam: Capture Real RAW Videos from Android Phones

Filmmakers! Meet the most powerful and capable camera app for Android devices: MotionCam Pro. This awesome app lets you capture true RAW video data directly from your Android device’s sensor. You can then transcode it to any format you want, including ProRes HQ and even DNG files! Check it out.

MotionCam brings professional photography and videography tools to smartphones. It is the first and only app to allow RAW video capture on a smartphone. The app is developed by a single man. There is no fancy company behind it, but a single developer who is disrupting the film industry and helping smartphone filmmakers around the world to capture professional footage. Here’s how MotionCam Pro is defined: “MotionCam Pro is a revolutionary application created for videography and photography enthusiasts. This innovative solution allows users to capture raw videos or images using their Android smartphones. It stands out from other applications of its kind by offering users a way to bypass the stock processing engine and avoid common issues such as excessive noise reduction and over-sharpening. The result is stunning, high-quality video footage that is perfect for improving your videography skills.” Here’s some screenshots of the application:

Check out the video below which showcases the most recent version of the app:

Here’s a demo of the iPhone 15 Pro versus older Android smartphones using MotionCam Pro

And here’s another demo of the iPhone 15 Pro vs. the Samsung S24 Ultra: Captured with MotionCam Pro: Direct Log video capture: RAW encoding to LOG on the go, with hardware acceleration for HEVC 8 or 10 and ProRes (Gen2 device recommended).

As the developer stated, “Today, we were pleasantly surprised when a user shared with us an exciting discovery about the features of his OnePlus 11. It turns out that by using a custom ROM, he was able to capture videos at an impressive 120 FPS in 4K! Even more amazing, we later learned that the device supports capturing videos in a stunning 8K resolution at 24 FPS!” Check it out below:

It seems that the developer has found the right methodology to capture data directly from the sensor. As can be seen in the demos, all the features and settings of MotionCam Pro are defined by raw data derived from the camera sensor. Therefore, you can get DNG files even on older smartphones, and convert them to video via AE, and/or transcode these files to a wide range of other codecs and ProRes versions. The details are astonishing and significantly surpass the most robust iPhone model. Moreover, the app has a strong community base that helps to improve it via Discord and other platforms, so the update frequency rate is very impressive. Nevertheless, capturing 4K RAW DNG on the app takes about 1.5 GB for only 13 seconds. So think about it. You can always capture proxies to reduce the data rate. Regardless, the app offers endless possibilities for smartphone filmmakers.
