I want to make a time-lapse video (not pictures), and I need to be able to record in 1080p for a few hours. I understand the file format being capped at 4GB, but I was wondering if there's an app out there that simply starts recording another video immediately after the size limit is reached. In effect I just want the video to be split every 2 GB.
Know any workarounds?
So recently I've noticed that when my wife and I exchange video messages via stock, chomp, handsent, or gosms messengers, no matter what the mms configuration is. They alway show up grainy and in one occasion with handsent as a GIF.
So I'v noticed that when I choose to shoot video from within gosms the video settings in the video app are set to mms mode making the video resolution the lowest it can possibly be, so no matter what I set gosms to the initial video is still very low res.
My question is.
Is there a mod or a way to change this so that the video can be taken at a higher resolution.
assuming there are no problems with the phones and you are just annoyed at the lower quality of videos sent between phones, then you are probably stuck. Video takes up a lot of memory and bandwidth. You are better off uploading a better quality video to youtube and then sending her the private link to view it on her phone. There are other cloud options/websites as well for videos
It will still hog the data though.
Perhaps somebody else can chime in with a better solution

No theres nothing wrong with the phone. Its annoying because the video is unwatchable, you can't even make out faces.
the worst part is my iphone 4 did a better job. so far though thats the only thing the iphone was better at.
Im not worried about the bandwidth, I'm on the rogers 6gb promotional plan.
currently the best way i can come up with to share a video is with dropbox. specially considering they just rewarded me with an extra 50gb of storage for free.
heres a pick of the cam app when im taking a video for mms. Im not looking for 720p or anything but a step up from this would make a world of difference.
thats 176x144

It would be nice if I could just edit a file somewhere that would set the mms video size to at least double what it is now.
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.
@Bad4ss

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
When recording a video on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S, it stops recording after 35 minutes even though there is plenty of memory to record video for more than an hour.
Is there a setting I can do to extend the video recording time so it does not stop recording?
No, I believe this is a built in limitation. Apparently it's to do with taxation. Proper video cams have unlimited video recording but have tax added because video cams are seen as a luxury. To get around having extra tax added which would increase cost, phones with video functions, dslrs, and tablets have their video recording times limited to half and hour or so.

Just use a video editor and merge the two videos together to make it as one. You can also use third party/ other camera apps to extend your recordings.

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.

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
