Keep just the moments when you land a trick. Often end up recording long videos of your kendama practice? Struggling to trim and organize them, or running out of storage? DamaReco is a camera app that lets you save just the moments when you land a trick during kendama practice and similar activities. While recording, it keeps up to the latest 3 minutes of footage and automatically deletes anything older, so long recordings don't keep piling up. When you land a trick, stop recording and review the video on the same screen. Choose the start and end on the timeline, then save just the part you want to Photos. You can also add your own or your team's logo and share your video. • Even during long sessions, only up to the latest 3 minutes are kept. Older footage is automatically deleted. • Review the moment you landed a trick, choose the start and end, and save it. • Pinch to zoom and frame your shot. On supported rear cameras, you can adjust zoom across lenses without stopping your recording. • Easily choose image quality, smoothness, and video format from the recording screen. • Reduce camera shake with supported cameras and recording settings. • Film yourself, in portrait or landscape—choose the style that suits you. • Add motion and transparency to your own or your team's logo to give your videos a personal touch. • While a video remains in history, you can choose a different moment or change the length and save it again. Note: While recording, the app retains up to the latest 3 minutes of playback time. In 4× slow motion, this is about 45 seconds of real time. Only footage within this range can be saved. The app's video cache is normally deleted after about 24 hours and may be deleted sooner when storage is low. Save the videos you want to keep to Photos. Clearing this cache does not delete videos already saved to Photos. Free storage is required to start recording, and recording may stop depending on available storage and other conditions. Note: Camera and microphone permissions are required. To save to Photos, please allow the app to add to Photos. Available lenses, zoom, resolutions, frame rates, image stabilization, and other features vary by device and settings.
