Do you want the originals? ;) (as they are not post-processed, they are just longer)

Yes please. Also would you publish some technical details about how this video stabilization works?

As one of the developer of this app, I'm obviously biased, but we think that we achieve even better results than Luma. Low light is always an issue (due to intrinsic limitations of the stabilization method), but we added slo-motion and support for the iPhone 5s and iOS7.

Luma was acquired, so it's no longer being developed.

There is another similar app, DollyCam: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dollycam/id449577531

Has been available for quite a while, and works on iPhone 4.

I tried it on a bike and then edited the video with replay. I was really impressed with the result https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ynVeMFAQM8

Would you care to post the original as well? It doesn't look very steady to be honest. Anecdotally, i would think iphone's camera is already doing some stabilization because i have filmed from my car using apple's bundled camera app and the video looked impressively steady (but hey, i was in a car).

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

I'm noticing the slightest stutters with 32gb, quad core i7 and a gtx 780 on chrome. I'm assuming it's a connection thing.

Same when I watched the video links directly.

Downloaded the tree one (which is where I noticed it) and played it with VLC twenty times or so on loop; didn't pick up any stuttering then. Must be something with chrome or my network (for me)

The one thing that would be great to see is a comparison of video shot with the app and the same video shot without the app.

There is a good comparison video here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mt286dTNFg

The stabilized video looks fuzzier. There's a definite lack of crispness that the unsteady video has.

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)

iOS 7.1.2 with iPhone 5S here, I haven't had a clean exit from the app yet, seems to crash everytime.. almost consistently after I delete a video I just recorded.

Hey, great job here! Two questions: 1) Is it at all feasible to do the stabilisation on the fly so that the screen shows already-stabilised video (if not then why)? 2) Do you envisage building an API so that a third-party app can use your technology?

With iOS 8, they could just make an extension that allows other apps to use it.
