These seem jittery on a MBPr with 16GB of RAM. What gives?

Just spins the loading animation without showing any video in the camera screen. Wondering if there is any server work and it might be under heavy load due to HN and whatnot. Edit: iPhone 5s. Edit2: its working now!

The app does not require any type of connectivity. Try killing it and relaunching.

Just installed it. Seems to work pretty well. This would be useful to real estate agents for doing smooth apartment walk-through videos for listings-- might want to try advertising specifically for that use case.

Stupeflix (the company behind Steady) actually has a tool designed specifically for Real Estate agents : http://studio.stupeflix.com/en/realestate/

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Oh sorry for the crash, I assume you sent a crash report. Will investigate... And thanks for the UI feedback! :)

(if you are using iOS 8, we are currently working on supporting it)

Indeed I submitted a crash report, Yeah sorry I forgot I was on my dev phone, it is iOS 8 and I can't expect it to work. ;-)

This is a most brilliant landing page - flashy, but in a way that directly demonstrates what the product does, and the text is readable even against the white waves. Each of the sequences look beautiful and seem like if I just had this app, I would be able to make my videos just as beautiful. Congrats. I'm not sure, but I believe the beauty lies in the fact that each of these scenes is something I can see myself tryi…

Thank you for your feedback. This is exactly what I wanted to do, I am glad that you understood the purpose of this landing page!

Are there any recommended Android versions of these apps?

Seems like google auto stabilized my video. They probably did it on the server side though.

Yes, Google has had some pretty good video stabilization on Youtube for 2 years now. I wish it happened in the camera app, though, especially since I once posted some private videos on Youtube, and Google deleted them anyway because there was some music in the background. It even said some company made a claim against them (even though they were private).

So yeah, Google's shitty copyright takedown system makes me not want to put my videos on Google's servers ever again, and I'd prefer them on my phone.

Downloaded and playing with it, seems to work fairly well. However, I can't seem to figure out how to get the app to work in 16:9 mode.

Turn your iPhone to landscape position ;) (and make sure you are not locking the rotation in control center)

Ah, I see. Very nifty!
