Recording And Saving Videos Using Corona

Hi there,

I’m looking to try out Corona, but I’d like to know whether Corona has a way to record and save videos using the cameras on iOS and Android devices.

I may have missed something, but the API documentation doesn’t clearly show a way of doing so - I’ve only come across audio recording using media.newRecording(). To give you a clear picture of what I’m trying to accomplish, I’m trying to create an app similar to Vine where users can quickly and easily record video by tapping and holding the screen to record. The app would then save the video and push it to the cloud. Here’s a video of Vine in action: http://youtu.be/3PI9LPo_cag?t=2m30s

This is Vine’s recording interface, just tap and hold to record (allowing users to cut to different shots without editing later):

Any advice on this would be much appreciated! Thanks guys.

Hi @noahamar,

At this time, you can only record (well, snap) still photos, and record audio. Recording video has been requested by others however, so we’ll look into adding it down the road.

Brent Sorrentino

Ah, okay. Thanks for the quick response, Brent.

Hi Brent,

Could the Native API in Enterprise be used to preview and capture video?

Hi @bob77,

Yes, this should be possible. Shall I confirm with the engineers, if you’d like?

Thanks,

Is it on schedule?

Hi @pickerel,

Have you explored the “media.captureVideo()” function?
