Video viewing issues...

Ralph

Hello, Noah!

Nice app- thank you for creating and sharing!

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S7
I made a test video (4-sec interval for an hour, 897 frames.)
It was viewable within the app on the phone.
Exported it, MP4 format, 1080p.
Bitrate: auto
FPS: 30
Downloaded it to my computer.
Windows 10 pro.

Unable to open file using VLC (my Go-To video viewer),
but could with Windows Media Player.
I was able to view the file in the Shotcut video editor.
I exported it from Shotcut using their default settings:
H.264/AAC MP4, but this file was not viewable in VLC either.
I would love to be able to splice in time-lapse footage in my video projects, but feel currently stalled out.
Ideas?
Thanks!
Ralph

To be crystal-clear, in VLC, the video shows the very first image of the series only, for the entire length of the 30 sec. clip.

Ralph Considering that this was with v1.6.9, and v1.7.0 and onward has a lot of changes to export:

1) v1.7.x is rolling out. (I'll probably have v1.7.1 out this week). So, I recommend looking for that.

2) In VLC, you could update the caching:

Open VLC.
Go to Tools > Preferences (or press Ctrl + P).
In the bottom-left corner under Show settings, click All.
In the left panel directory tree, click on Input / Codecs.
Scroll down to the right pane section header labeled Advanced.
Change File caching (ms) from its default 300 to 2000 or 3000 milliseconds.
Click Save

Hi @Ralph thank you for the detailed description of the issue. Very helpful. Which app version is this with? Thank you.

v1.6.9

Also, in both the original export that I downloaded to my computer, as well as the one exported after opening in Shotcut,
the issue was exactly the same- a single frame showing the entire duration of the video.
