PastVid - The time-shift video recorder app for iPhone and iPad
■■ Direct the lens, to record the past. ■■
PastVid shows you the world a few seconds ago.
You can easily check & record the past because PastVid displays the captured data after buffering to memory. For example, to check your form during training, to teach sports for education, and to record something accident. PastVid is usable to do them. Its, time machine video.
■ Your the best training coach ■
For athletes, to check their form or set play is important to improve their play. They can grow up their training quality by adopting feedback rapidly.
As traditional ways of thinking, we need to purchaise a expensive "skip back recorder". However, there is PastVid in your hand. Take iPhone out of your pocket, direct the lens to you, thats all. Your the best training space is here, without a traditional machine.
■ PastVid always shows you the stream of past ■
If you use a pre-installed Video(Camera) app for your training, you have to do [start recording]-(play)-[stop recording]-[playback the movie] operations. It means that your training rhythm collapsed. PastVid always shows the "past stream". You can check it by only see the display(or projected screen). To keep the rhythm of training is very easy.
By using PastVid, you may play, as you think.

Play it again video. Really!
REVIEW REVISION UPDATE:
THANKS TO THE DEVELOPER FOR ADDING THE LIVE VIEW SO WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHERE WE ARE POINTING THE CAMERA! If you havent tried it yet, select your size (I like large) and then move the image around anywhere on the screen. You can watch that screen to see whats happening live and, depending on the delay you set, watch it appear again in the larger background image a few seconds later.
The slow-motion scrobbling with audio (by moving the little slider knob up) is interesting, but not really practical. I would much prefer being able to slide and stop, then adjust slightly left or right with little buttons, and then be able to take a picture of that FreezeFrame. Imagine capturing a few frames, frame by frame, of a water balloon exploding, for example. You cant do that with this new slow-motion scrabbling feature.
Thanks to the developer for continuing to improve this amazing an unusual app!
PREVIOUS REVIEW:
Im really excited about this app. Im surprised nobody thought of it until now. First of all, its a great way to capture 10 seconds or so of video that you can instantly play over and over again. Once you have it set up and streaming, pressing the button in the lower left (not the record button) allows you to immediately stop streaming and start looping the last 10 seconds (with audio). Pressing the button that appears to the far right, allows you to save those 10 seconds to your photo library as a video clip.
Pretty cool, huh? Well, theres more. If you would like to do a little bit of editing of that 10 second clip before saving it to capture just the moment youre looking for, you can slide both the left and the right side of the looping play control toward the middle. The looping will shorten to just what you want to see. Then if you press the right side save button, youll just capture that nugget to your camera library. You have to really try this to see what I mean. Like I said, Im amazed nobody thought of this before. Brilliant!
When you first start up the app, it spins a little wheel that fills the buffer with up to 10 seconds of footage. You really cant do anything with the camera until the buffer is full.
Because of this, I wouldnt recommend this camera app as one to use to try and capture a sudden moment just about to happen. This app is much more suited to setting up in advance to monitor, say, a tennis swing or a golf swing.
Since it is designed to look at a critical moment in time in video frame format, I have a request for the developer: When we are in the looping playback mode and the little clip is playing over and over again, I noticed the play button becomes a pause button and the video will stop at a particular frame. You can then slide the player back and forth to try and stop on a specific frame, but this is pretty much hit or miss. The app would be much more useful if you were able to add buttons to the left and right of the pause button to go forward or backward one frame at a time. Then, if we could simply tap and hold on the frame displayed, it would be great if it would pop up a box that said "Save frame to camera roll?" Yes or no. That way, we not only could save the actual video clip itself, which the app already does wonderfully, but we could also isolate individual frames and save them as well.
Okay, so far in this review weve covered the main features of this app, which are to stream video through a buffer, and allow you to tap the lower left-hand button, stop recording, and start looping the last 10 seconds of video play. Weve also covered the lower right button which allows you to save that clip, or a shorter edited version of that clip, to your photo library.
This is a great start, and I am very impressed with the developers vision of playing with time. I really hope it will be possible to add frame advance buttons and the option to capture a still frame as a photograph to the photo library. In the meantime, Im going to go play some more.... in the past.
