Save video

Open yephny opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

It'd be great if there was a way to save a video recorded by VectorCamera. I tried sharing the video with SaveTo... but it resulted in an empty file, so I have to send it to Video Transcoder first, then encode it in a different format to save it.

Not sure why SaveTo wouldn't work, I'll look into that. But you should be able to get to the WebM video files at Android/data/com.dozingcatsoftware.vectorcamera/files/VectorCamera/VectorCamera_videos.

Thanks, I'll use Vector Camera's save directory.

@dozingcat Is it possible to extract the video in higher quality (on pc or phone)? I have an important video taken using VectorCamera but the webm export is extremely bad quality.

I extracted it as still frames, then merged them into a video.

Any updates on this one?

I would suggest allowing the the user to select the directory where they would like their images to be stored, or at the very least saving the media files into Shared Storage and not App-specific storage

Android/data/com.dozingcatsoftware.vectorcamera/files/VectorCamera is not accessible in the Google Files app (Android 13) non-rooted device
