Help a new guy out will ya
Hey everyone, complete beginner here. I recently started experimenting with Motion Cam Pro (trial version) on my CMF Phone 1 running Android 16 and I have been running into a bunch of issues. Would really appreciate some guidance from people who actually know what they are doing.
First problem I ran into was exports not working at all. Every exported file was showing 0 bytes and my phone said the file format was not supported. I uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times and nothing changed. Eventually it somehow fixed itself on its own. But after a few recordings and experimenting with LOG footage settings, the RAW video exports started throwing the same error again. So the fix was clearly not permanent.
Second issue is that I am on the trial version and trying to shoot in LOG for color grading. When I set it to HEVC 10-bit with Sony S-Log3 at 100 Mbps and 3840x2880 resolution, I get a CPU throttled warning followed by a recording error telling me to set a new recording configuration. I am guessing either my phone cannot handle these settings or S-Log3 with 10-bit is locked behind the Pro version on the trial.
The only codec that works without errors on the trial is ProRes Compatible 10-bit 4:2:2, but it heats up my phone almost instantly so that is not really a usable option for me.
A few questions:
Is S-Log3 with HEVC 10-bit a Pro only feature or is my phone just not powerful enough for those settings?
What settings would you actually recommend for a beginner on a mid range Android using the trial?
Is the recurring RAW export issue a known bug, and is there a proper fix for it?
