Slow Motion - Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

I sure hope the new pixels handle slowmo better. Having to upload my slowmo videos to Google Photos first edit them then transfer them to Google Drive so that i can then download them to my device was really annoying.

I really hope so too. I just recently discovered this little "issue" while trying to shoot some slo mo videos for the office.
Does exporting to Google Drive still work? I read somewhere that it didn't

CamHUD app?

I searched on the market and in Appbrain but there does not seem to be an app which records a movie with additional info being shown in the recording. Think of the police cams when they are in pursuit.
I record a movie when I drive to work now and then and I think it would be really nice to see actual speed, directions, time, etc. in the movie. I think that would be really cool .
Anyone know of an app like this? If not, maybe it is just a nice idea then.

I meant this app : http://www.appbrain.com/app/dailyroads-voyager/com.dailyroads.v
But you can't imprint text to the recording on Android, mission impossible. Still you can watch the HUD while driving ;]
Looks like a good app. As per the description:
Display speed, elevation, timestamp and GPS coordinates on videos/photos.
Will have to try it and see if it just displays it or if it actually records the info also for playback.
Just tested this app, it is really nice and has very nice feautures!
Downside: playback recorded movies does not show the data, only when viewed with internal movie player.
So it does not seem possible to download recorded movies to your pc ... thats's a shame.
Maybe that feature will be added later.

slow motion video - how do i save the video w/ only some slow motion?

is there anyway to save/share the slow motion video with some regular speed & only part slow motion? when ever i try to share from Google Photos to another app it make the entire video slow.
From what I read there is no way to export it with the edits. If there is I would love to know how I have searched myself and everyone said it's not possible
I've only seen this work correctly when shared to Google+ It doesn't seem to preserve the slow/normal sections when uploading to YouTube or other services.
You edit the recording of the slow motion with a screen recorder app. Exports fine. If you want an example i can messages you.

so i was able up upload the video to Google+ and it preserved slow/fast motion, but now it doesnt have sound have you seen any with sound?
I'm having this same issue, have you figured it out yet?
So far I've tried sharing to YouTube, marking a video as shared with a Google link, and all I get is a complete video of slow motion, even when i denote the video to be entirely normal speed with the little slider arrows.

In gallery, after selecting the parts of the video which you want in slow motion, tap 'save' on the top right to export the video. This exported video can now be uploaded anywhere and will maintain the slow motioned playback.

Problems with Facebook using Hi-Res images, and video

So i have been having issues with Facebook recognizing the quality of my images and videos.
I post alot of pictures and videos of my kids for family. I have recently noticed that all the vids, and pics from my S10+ are blurry or choppy.
Anyone else experience this?
Is there a setting in the FB app that maybe I have overlooked?
Chime in if you have same problem, or had the problem and figured a solution.

I believe you need select upload pics and vids in HD. Usually the first thing i do when i change phone.
Under Media and Contacts in settings

Thanks, I skimmed through, but didnt even think to open that one.
Appreciate it.

H.265 option in the camera app.

Today I noticed I am unable to edit videos in the photos app and I have traced the issue down to the video coding. With the H.265 option when I try to trim a video I get an error message saying "unable to save changes". A file is created with a .mp4.tmp extension that is not playable. When I switch back to H.264 the resulting videos trim fine.
Can anyone else confirm they have the same issue? I'm surprised Google have this option in their camera app for it to be unsupported in their photos app.

Just speculating here, but H.265/HEVC is really not meant to be edited. It's highly compressed and hardware intensive for editing programs to de-encode so you can edit then re-encode. You're better off shooting videos that you know you're going to edit later on in H.264/AVC. I learned this the hard way after recording some footage in HEVC and both Sony Vegas (Sony Vegas straight up didn't support it) and DaVinci Resolve had a very hard time with it despite the hardware in my computer.
Probably not the answer you want to hear but you're asking a lot of your phone's hardware to edit HEVC encoded media. Record in AVC, edit, re-encode in HEVC.

I have to disagree here because I'm able to trim H.265 videos using other apps without issue. I would have just preferred to do it all in one app rather than have multiple apps installed with annoying pop up ads etc...
I've had this issue on Pixel 3 XL also, took a clip and tried to trim using Google Photos app and always got unable to save.
This is pretty stupid if you can't trim when on H.265
