Hey guys. I am taking pictures and video at 60FPS with this camera and they are awesome but I've noticed sending them through text destroys the quality and was wondering if anyone else was having this problem? Also Facebook as well I upload a video in HD and it the quality comes out horrible (yes I have the setting on in Facebook to upload in HD). Is there a known issue with this and does anyone know a work around, if so? Thanks in advance!
Texting videos always makes it very low quality. Facebook is only a little better even when HD is checked. You can post to youtube in 4k and share the link in facebook.
Edit: And it supports 60fps.

See that's what's weird, I know it supports it but I tried uploading the video I took in 1080p 60FPS and if comes out in crap quality. I just don't get it... Used to take 4k videos with my Samsung and never had this issue

Here is a sample I just recorded on my XL. Sent it unedited straight to youtube. How does it compare?

Seems ok to me.
oops. Just noticed it is only showing in 720p in you tube but the video manager in youtube plays it in 1080p.

That looks grainy to me... When I watch the video I upload on my device it plays great... The quality others see is not what I take...

It is in lowish light quality. Like I said completely unedited. It shows at 1080p after reloading the player. I guess it takes time for youtube to process. In what way is your video bad?

I think I understand what you are saying. Unfortunately I was shooting on a very grainy textured wall. Try saving the video to a computer first and then upload it. Just in case the built in uploader is processing it before sending. Will have to check and see what is doing it. You can also try copying a good 4k video and sending it to see if it knows where it is coming from and trying to convert it. I did notice the quality improved over time as youtube seems to do some background conversion. As far as the difference from your samsung device you can compare by sending a video from the pixel that you shot on your samsung.
Interesting to see if something changes. I use to use a special app for sending HD pivtures and videos to Facebook that worked very well. Check the Play Store

I found a article saying the max upload size on mobile is 2 gigs while using a browser it is 20 gigs. Try uploading from a computer.

Well I uploaded to YouTube, came out perfect. Uploaded to Instagram, came out great. So it's definitely on Facebook's end... Thank you so much for all your help. Was getting worried, but guess this phone is perfect just as I figured lol. Thanks again bud

Your welcome. I understand about Facebook. Was never happy with the picture or video quality. I think they are being to cheap on server space to host them. I recommend uploading somewhere else and just sharing the link. Facebook's link support is pretty good anyways. Since you have a Pixel phone you have unlimited picture and video backup at full quality anyways.

I have noticed when I am in the video recorder and switch to 1920x1080 resolution I notice the video zooms in to around 2x and says "zooming is not allowed in full HD" when I try to zoom out. This causes the recorded video to look like crap and noticeably lower quality than the 720p videos I record, especially on a pc..
Does anyone know why this is, if anyone else is having the same problem and if there is any way to fix it?
I can confirm I see the same thing.

Same here!
I got some good results with my videos, but only when i wasn't trying to shoot something up close.
I am really disappointed 1080p was one of the big things I was looking forward to with the GS2 and now I find that it's a lower quality video than the 720p... Hopefully someone has a fix or this is an issue Samsung is working on.
Is it just me or there's something wrong about playing HD videos on Nexus 7 2? It looks like "pixelated".
Well that certainly isn't HD video. This may be an issue with your internet than the actual device itself.

Thanks for the reply. I'm quite sure that's HD. I downloaded that video 1080p using IDM.

That isn't 1080p. I can assure you that. That has to be 320p.
I'll put a movie onto my Nexus that is 1080p and I'll see if it's like that tonight.
Is this the one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moSFlvxnbgk
It's 720p, and at certain points a bit pixellated with contours.

I do not see any pixels. It may be the download manager you are using or your stream. I've attached a YouTube image from my browser, along with my Nexus 7 screenshot for you.
I use Flash Video Downloader, which downloads the entire file directly, rather than copying a stream. I'm also watching it on a full-size PC monitor, so the larger and brighter pixels let me see where the video quality isn't that great. At certain points it's clear (pun intended) with the video. In fact, I just noticed it's only 1280x534. Sometimes I wonder if "HD" videos people upload were upscaled from DVD.
Take for example this still at 0:42, saved as PNG with zero compression. JPG at 100% has similar quality.
Anyway, if this is the video the person's talking about, even if he had great throughput and HD on, it's not 1080p.

Of the two screenshots you posted, the left has pixellation, and the second is contoured.

The left I can see pixels after a quick glimpse. My eyes are pretty bad but I do not see how the image on the right is contoured.
If it is what you say it is, then it's just an upscaled DVD rip and not actually blueray.
My SGH-M919 is really odd when it comes to recording videos.
Pictures are okay, but video quality is a bit terrible.
When I record a video, it takes a while for it to begin recording...normal, I've seen this happen on other Android devices.
As I'm recording, the video looks okay, no choppiness, yet.
When the recording stops and the playback starts.. the video looks pixelated.
The only time the video looks high quality is when the camera is still.. as soon as the camera moves.. it becomes pixelated.. but, then as the camera is settled.. it forms back into a high quality video.. move it again.. pixelated.
I have the video settings set on 'Standard,' as opposed to 'Low' on Snapchat, but that does not help.
Does anyone know what's going on? Should I enable/disable anything in the developer options? I've noticed this on Snapchats received by other Android users in my contact list, but iOS 4.x.x+ devices are all clear.
Any help/troubleshoot is appreciated!
If y'all need a video, lemme know and I'll try to send one.
Same here, iOS users are always clear, Android is the same as your issue and the same with me.. I would like to have this fixed as well!!

That's what I had thought lol, I hope snapchat improves in quality for Android devices

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 :/

Bummer. So slow motion is pretty much useless on this phone?

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.

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.
Any way to change the .mkv recording to .mpg4 when shooting video with stock camera app? This is a PIA when trying to use Videos you've shot with other apps. I'd just roll with the Google Camera but there's no silent option that I've found.
You should disable " High res audio" to record in with a normal extention.

You sir are a legend!!! Have you done any comparative testing by chance with the High Res on vs Off?
I just tested this and the High Res Audio isn't a gimmick. The **** is fire. If a person was shooting something that would edit later they want this. If a person was shooting clips or something for social media or something else they could pass and it is still great.

He<y There, is there any chance to post somewhere a mkv recorded with the 10 in some loud clubs or something?
I am really trying to find out if it is better, or close even to the 4mics of the 950xl Lumia (distortion free audio recording)
Can you please go to a club and record some music ?

The only club I occupy is the gym lol but here is an album I uploaded with myself in the woods. There are multiple videos all recorded with High Res Audio. https://plus.google.com/+BrandonBuhler/posts/f5g3ndNXZve It picks up crazy detail in the ambient sounds. In some of the water shots I am quite a ways away but it's still awesome. I tested outside earlier and the main differences is that the back ground audio is clearer and more detailed. If I get out today in a crowded area I'll grab a few samples as comparison. I know it won't be the same as a loud club but it's probably the best I can do. :good:

Probably in the default.acc never checked for it but I do know other 4k video camera apps have unlimited time.

it seems that if you go back to 1080P you won't have this limitation, only with 4k ...Well I can live with this...
