[Ribbit Project] Can't seem to take a video using the Camera (Google Camera) application

Hi! I've been working on the Ribbit application lately and have come across an odd bug. I can't seem to record the video using the latest Google Camera app using the method described in the video lesson.

Here's what I pulled from LogCat:

I am able to run it using the new Google Camera app. Can you paste in the code you are trying? Perhaps there is something different about our code. If not, then it might be a device-specific issue and we can try to track it down.

It was an issue with my code and I ended up fixing it! Thanks, anyway. :)
