How to create photos from snorkling videos

One of my favorite uses of Save Frame is to create photos from snorkling videos. It’s fiddly using a camera while underwater, so I prefer just to let the video roll and see what frames I caught later.

Here’s my setup:

Disclaimer: using electronics under water is inherantly risky. You assume the risk of using this setup.

  1. Get an underwater bag for your iPhone (or; a dedicated underwater camera)
  2. Record in 4k (for the highest resolution), and ideally 60fps (for the most frames captured)
  3. Go snorkling, hit the record button and take it all in
  4. Review the video in Save Frame, and extract the photos you want
  5. Due to the light-shift, you may want to use the iPhone’s “Auto” adjust mode on the photos post-save.

That’s it! You can get amazing photos out of your snorkling trip to share.
