Tools for filming on iPhone

It’s pretty amazing the kind of video quality you can get from a simple iPhone. With the iPhone 4 you can film in 720P and with the iPhone 4S you get up to 1080P! But to get the optimal quality, you are going to need some tools to help you. The first example I found was when the iPhone 4 was released some guys made this film, all made with the iPhone, including the editing. Soon after the release of the iPhone 4S, this example showed up on Vimeo. But to be able to get good quality out of your phone, you need some tools to help you.

writing kit logoWriting Kit 2.0 - The quest for the best Markdown editor on the iPad.

I’ve been searching for a good Markdown editor now for a while. I mainly want to use it for writing blog posts on my private blog, but also for editing other stuff that I write. The criteria I need in a program is the following:

 

  • Be able to sync with dropbox.
  • Preview Markdown documents.
  • Work with folders within Dropbox, so syncing with Scrivener, my favorite writing app on my Mac, works.
  • Work well with app switching on the iPad, so I can do research on the web in Safari, and quickly switch back to the text editor.
  • Work with other tools like TextExpander touch and terminology App.

Image editing for blogging on iPad

When I first got my iPad I thought it was great for consuming media, but not for creating it. But after a year I do most of my writing and blogging from my iPad. With a connected Bluetooth keyboard it’s an excellent tool for writing. No spinning hard drive, no fan, just comfortable silence. And with apps like Writing Kit and Blogsy, I can do all the things I need for blogging. But handling images isn’t that easy. Here’s my tips on getting your images in shape directly on your iPad.

iPad crash problem fixed.

It looks like I finally found a solution to my iPad crashing problem. My first generation iPad crashed all the time without any apparent reason. I found it on a forum and I’ve been running my iPad all day without one crash. Haven’t been able to do that since upgrading to iOS 5.01.

All you need to do is to reset all settings. Open the Settings app and under General and choose Reset. Press Reset All Settings. This sounds dangerous, but you won’t lose any data, only your settings. The machine will show a progress bar, which is normal. After the machine is reset, you should now hopefully have an iPad gen 1 that doesn’t crash all the time. All the settings for mail etc wasn’t affected by the reset by the way.
