Hello Guys, I am developing an app to capture movements. The idea is to make a sketchbook for dancers by making a library where you can capture your short footage and sort, categorise, name and put notitions. So the interface layout should be a bit like an instagram style but then only video’s. I was google, search all over youtube but I cannot find any comprehensive guide to achieve that. The closest that I could make is this with pictures. Or making video’s that will save in local storage. But I cannot find way to play it back in the app itself and save it. Can somebody help me out? Thanks and regards ---

Trying to do something similar… More just taking videos of product review, watch uploaded video on the app, and then having the option to upload which will push it to a remote server which will then bring it into the updated view… Anyhoo… Here’s what I’ve found… Currently pursuing using ionic-native’s wrapper of cordova’s media-capture captureVideo method. So confused because the documentation is written for Ionic V1/earlyV2 at best and all explaining how to take photos with a slight after-mention that video is also possible without showing how options and data would change. > **[Ionic Framework](https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/media-capture/)** > > Ionic is the app platform for web developers. Build amazing mobile, web, and desktop apps all with one shared code base and open web standards [https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-plugin-media-capture/index.html](https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-plugin-media-capture/index.html) There are some solutions and more documetation for the outdated cordova plugin that came before media-capture.captureVideo which was simply called capture.captureVideo [https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/2.0.0/cordova/media/capture/captureVideo.html](https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/2.0.0/cordova/media/capture/captureVideo.html) on here on stackexchange > In translating old solutions, you may want to also check out Ionic’s extensive pdf for Ionic 1 to Ionic 2 migration which is very helpful. > **[Ionic2Migration.pdf](https://ionicframework.com/files/Ionic2Migration.pdf)** > > 6.82 MB Will let you know when I find a solution translated to being current from the deprecated documents. 🙂 And likewise, if you should find a solution please let me know. ---

> **[Ionic 2 – Video capture and playback](http://tphangout.com/ionic-2-video-capture-and-playback/)** > > Hi Friends, Hope you are all well. This is one the most requested posts on this site. It’s pretty much simple to capture video in your Ionic 2 app, save it on your phone and play it back usin… This tutorial is a close potential solution, it does open to take video however the taken video doesn’t seem to upload to phone’s video library… Select does open to video library, works for selecting a video, and automatically plays in the video ionic tag… So, potential step in the right direction with some of the functionality you want. ---

I was watching this tutorial too! But maybe there are people who dived deeper in making an app using the media capture function, followed by storing the video in a list/library and create the function to play it back. Anyways thanks for your time
