Hi Xavier!
Would be really important to be able to use Image stabilization on OMTake. Now with V1.4 its very hard to get a decent video from a hand held iPhone.
Enabling Image stabilization would also increase the video delay and/or crop the video? if so, then this should be an optional setting.
Would also be essential to be able to set White Balance, HUE and Exposure adjustments = Exposure Compensation.
Kind regards,
Jani

Hi Jani, Thanks for the feedback. Image stabilization will be available in OMTake 1.5, which should be released by next week. You're right that it comes with a trade-off: enabling it adds some latency and a slight crop of the frame, so it will be an optional setting you can turn on or off depending on your setup. Version 1.5 will also add manual image controls: white balance, hue, and exposure compensation. I'll post here as soon as the update is out. Kind regards, Xavier https://omtake.app/

Hi Jani, As promised, OMTake 1.5 is now available on the App Store. A new settings button next to the microphone lets you adjust the picture, even while you are live. The button turns yellow when a manual setting is active, so you can see at a glance that the image is not in auto mode. Image stabilization is now an optional setting with four modes: Off, Standard, Cinematic, and Low latency on iOS 26 and later. As you anticipated, stabilization crops the image slightly, and Standard and Cinematic add latency, so Low latency is the best fit for a live source when your device supports it. White balance can be set to Auto, Lock, or Manual with temperature and tint controls (tint corresponds to the hue adjustment you mentioned). Lock is handy to keep auto white balance from drifting in the middle of a shot. Exposure compensation is available from -3 to +3 EV. All these settings are saved between sessions. This version also displays the time and battery level at the top of the screen during streams, and fixes several issues: rotating between the two landscape orientations no longer interrupts the stream on the receiver, tap-to-focus only reacts to taps on the video image, releasing a pinch-to-zoom no longer triggers a focus change, and the focus indicator stays inside the image. Let me know how it works on your side with hand held shots, your feedback has been very helpful. Kind regards, Xavier https://omtake.app/

Hi Xavier! V1.5 is a great leap forward! Will try it soon on production environment. Noticed that there is still that issue renaming the OMT stream if the phone is in horizontal mode. The Pen icon next to the Stream name does nothing when tapped - only the focus/exposure point is set there. It would better to set this renaming to the new Menu and remove the Renaming functions altogether from the Main screen.  OMTake 1.5.jpg (26kb) downloaded 16 time(s).Also it would be better to move Lens buttons where the other functions like Resolution is set, so them would not be so close to the Start/Stop button and it would be easier to choose them. Noticed also when the Settings menu is visible and in the largest size it darkens the video image below. This is not a good thing because image adjustments are made in that Settings menu and it makes adjusting the video harder. Kind regards, Jani
