[Q] How do you export the slow motion video?

I've captured some slow motion video on the G3, but when I try to export it anywhere, or play it in another player it just speeds up to normal speed.
Surely this can't be right. It should save the video to be played exactly how you see it in the native player on any other device.
Does anybody know how to get it to stay as slow motion even after you've exported it, or save it as seen in slow motion?
To let you know I have done a search for this issue within xda, and it doesn't show any related threads. Has nobody experienced this issue?

Hi,
Your Video is fine. Just use a Player like VLC and reduce the playback speed.
Thats how slomo works!

Thanks, I thought it would be better if it actually slowed the footage down as a saved file (like on the Xperia Z2), then at least you could post it to a shared website and show off your creation. Is there no way to do that?

Check the PlayStore - there must be an app for that Good Luck! If you find something, share it!
The HTC One (M8), Sony Z2 and iPhones have a video editor that can slow down parts of a slow motion video, while keeping the rest of it at normal speed.
Has anybody found a similar app on the Play Store?
Or even, has anybody managed to make the Sony or HTC app work on other devices like the G3?
EDIT: The Sony Z2 app is called "Timeshift Video".
Im looking for this too.
Its crazy - shows slowmo video in gallery app - but with normal speed in Photos app
What are you guys taking slow motion video of anyway bouncy boobs lol
It doesn't matter what you take a slomo video of, the point is that the phone doesn't let you save the movie in a way that can be played in other devices. Surely it should do that.
I've seen a few slomo videos on YouTube made on the LG G3, how have they done that, if you can't actually save the video as the slowmotion version?
Surely, you'd want to show off various or interesting slomo videos to friends and family, so there must be a way to do it. I've looked for an app, but surely it should be native on the phone?
e.g. on my old HTC EVO 3D, the 3d videos were stored as 3D to see on a 3D TV for example if saved on a USB. Surely if you save the SloMo video to a USB you should be able to see the video in its slow version on a TV. Is this something that LG overlooked, or is there something that we're all missing on the phone?
The recorded video file is ~120 fps:
Frame rate mode : Variable
Frame rate : 119.659 fps
Minimum frame rate : 116.732 fps
Maximum frame rate : 122.783 fps
To see it in slow motion you would have to set it as 30 fps on a computer and save it again. No need to recompress it or anything (so no quality drop at all) but you need this extra step to play it back on a device where you cannot manually slow it down.

Thanks for that info, I wish thought that the phone natively did that, so there was no need for that extra step, I think LG are missing a trick there.

The most simple way I know is to use mkvtoolnix (free, open source and works on windows/linux/mac)
Open the GUI, drag or add the file you want to work on, select the video track, go to format specific options and select your desired fps. Then press "start muxing".

Thanks; upgraded from 6.2 to 7.1 and mixed away. Video worked well but audio didn't seem to work out well
When I shot something in slomo on my Galaxy S4 the resulting video was slomo in all viewing apps or when uploade to facebook or youtube. only being able to view it in slomo in the LG gallery app is dumb. As much as they advertise the G3 as a great photo device the camera app actually sucks balls. Samsungs camera app is light years better and IOSs blows them both out. It still baffles me that android has no tap exposure and lock capability....
Is there an app that will save the lg g3 recorded slow mo videos and directly share them so everyone can see the videos in slow mo?
When uploading videos in youtube you get an option to increase or decrease default video playback speed.

I use an app called Lapse it Pro to import the file then render and save it at 20fps. After rendering..I'm able to share it as a video file

Slow Motion Video Recording?

It almost seems to me it would be shared as full speed, and you can simply slow it down in the LG gallery. Is this true? I uploaded a video to YouTube and it was full speed.

It captures 120 frames per second, meaning you have 4 times more frames than regular 30fps. You should upload it to your computer and then edit it. YouTube will play the video in regular 30fps because that is the normal. btw the 120fps leaves the picture quality pretty useless :/

Well, no not at all. I think that you need to read about FPS and video recording in general. It takes the slow motion pictures, but if you uploaded it to youtube it will NOT play in 120fps because YT does not support that and it would be amazingly slow (also big filesize).
Use a editing software to select the parts you want to be in slow motion, and if you want the whole video to be in slow motion you need to convert the 120fps to 30fps but stretch it. If you know what i mean.

Yeah I do, I think it's just more or less a bummer that I'd have to edit it on a computer to get the full effect.
Unless you can do the same thing with a mobile video editing app.

I would think that you can use a mobile app to do that, let me check if i can find anything for you.
Edit: sorry i cant find any solution in Google play either. I guess you have to use a pc.

Actually youtube introduced the support for 60fps videos.

So I've heard, but i guess you have to manually activate that setting while uploading, and wont surprise me if you cant do so from a mobile device.
It's the image quality that renders the slow motion useless.. it looks as bad as if they used quarter of the pixels for each frame, and blew it up, then do that 4 times each 30th of a second. I don't think even my Treo 650 videos were that pixelated.

Share slow mo

i tested that . if you do exactly the same its in slow motion . the problem you need a app when you share for be sure the media support slow motion as VLC i think .
i tried to share thru instagram and it's played at normal speed, share via bluetooth and play at normal speed, maybe it have to be coded in slow motion at 30fps, i don't know

you dont understand what is the slow motion... 30 fps is not slow motion ... more you have fps ... more its slow motion then 60 .90 .120 and more etc etc

sorry if i not explain myself clearly, i know what slow motion is, i'm saying that maybe the option to share a slow motion video is encoded the slow motion video playing at slow motion speed but something like capturing a recording that video like a normal video, i'm no being clearly, right?
weird, if u upload direcly on sony Z2 it will BE slomo, dont know why g4 cant : S

[Q] How to export an edited slow-mo video?

When you make a slow-mo video, the google software lets you choose which part of the video plays in slow motion.
When the same edited video gets uploaded or shared, the entire video is in slow motion, not just the part you choose.
How do you export the video as edited?
I'm also seeing the same issue here.. It's quite annoying as Google Photos Web doesn't include a tool to edit slow-mo video at all.

Hey guys, same here.
I've tested powerdirector in which you can set different speed for your videos and that seem to do the trick. The videos imported will be all slow motion but if you speed it up to 4X, it'll be at actual speed. You can then set different point on your video to modify speed at will.

+1 thanks for pointing out Powerdirector. Works pretty well and worth the $4.95 price for full version (HD and no watermark)

I've just realized i can't have the whole video when adding a slow mo video to the timeline, it don't put the full length. Other videos work fine.
Does it work for you ?
Not sure what you mean. Can you explain in more detail?
Hihi yes.
When you start a project, you add videos from your phone to the timeline of the app.
When I chose a regular video, no problem, it displays in its whole length on the timeline but when I chose a slo mo video that should last like 60s, I only see the first 20s.
And so I can only edit those 20s and export.
Bump
What is the point of the editing if there's no way to save it?

You can export it. I think there's just a bug and it's not fully compatible yet with the slo mo vids.
Might be just me not knowing how to use properly the app too

No sound in slo mo video please help!!!

I have asked on numerous threads on here and anyone I've talked to seems to have sound on the slo mo video but I dont. The sound is perfect on any other video setting just not slo mo. I can't find anything around the internet that even mentions this problem, you guys are my last hope. LG G4 by the way, any help at all will be much appreciated, thanks
Slowmo = no sound.
It's supposed to be that way :good:

Are you 100% sure? There is people on here saying they have sound on the slo mo video. And there's video's on YouTube recorded in slo mo on a G4 and there is sound ?

If I play it back at regular speed (so switch from 1/8 to normal speed) indeed the recorded sound can be heard.
On the phone, when playing back at 1/8th speed, using stock video app, can hear nothing. That other apps/systems do have (low-speed) sound when playing back the same video surely is possible of course
