1. A method comprising:
obtaining an image and a reference image, wherein the reference image is temporally precedent to the image;
processing the image and the reference image using an image processing pipeline wherein processing the image includes:
converting the image to a 14-bit Bayer image;
converting the 14-bit Bayer image to a 14-bit RGB image; and
converting the 14-bit RGB image to a 10-bit YUV image;
denoising the 10-bit YUV image to obtain a denoised image;
dynamically selecting a bitrate based on an ISO setting during an image capture;
encoding the denoised image in a video format at the bitrate; and
outputting a video file in the video format.
