Terrible Video Quality With Uploaded Videos

When I upload any video from the phone to sites like FB or Flickr they look awful. They look very choppy and low resolution with lots of artifacts. This never happened with my Galaxy Note or iPhone. What the video looked like in the phone when I played it back was what it looked like when uploaded, with minor quality degradation. With the One the videos look great when played back on the phone or saved and played on my computer. But as soon as they are uploaded to any website the quality looks really poor. Anyone else experience this?

When you've uploaded HD video with your previous phones are you sure you weren't connected to WiFi? You may just have to copy the video file directly to your computer and upload it from there.
According to the article below, video is converted to standard definition when uploading to FB on an iphone. The article was written about a year ago though.

I've always uploaded video files through Wifi only. The video looks worst than standard definition, really choppy. I can understand FB compressing the files, but why even on Flickr is the video so choppy looking. Is there something in the settings I'm missing?

Well if you can upload that same video to youtube in HD and you find the quality to your liking, at least that would narrow it down as a problem with the app itself and not the phone's firmware. I've never really paid attention to the video quality when uploading to facebook. This is simply because every FB video I recall watching on my newsfeed has been poor quality.
I assume you have a Pro account on Flickr? http://www.flickr.com/help/video/

Yep have a Pro account. Problem partially solved. I tried to upload my video through my Mac, but Flickr upload wouldn't recognize the files. WTF! They are in .mp4 format after being directly transferred from the phone to my Mac. So I decided to just rename and save the file as .avi, bingo Flickr recognized. After uploading it through my Mac the video is finally being displayed in HD quality. Weird. So for some strange reason the phone is compressing the videos to SD quality when uploaded through the phone, gotta find a work around for this. Totally kills it that the phone records beautiful HD videos but I can't share them in HD with others.

Ok did some experimenting. Same video uploaded to Flickr directly from the phone the quality is bad, but from my computer it's HD quality when it is uploaded to Flickr. Then I tried the same but this time uploaded the video using both methods to YouTube. Bang, both videos are in HD quality when they arrive on YouTube. So I guess the problem lies in the embedded Flickr uploader preloaded on the One. It is automatically compressing all videos to SD quality in the phone before uploading. Must be some kind of bug in the new firmware.

Also, it appears that you need to have a Pro account on Flickr to see videos in HD. Otherwise they show up in SD

I have this exact same problem with uploading videos to Facebook from my Nexus 4. The funny thing is the video on FB that I uploaded has an HD button on it but it doesn't change anything when it is lit. It looks like crap either way. Anyone find a solution? Waiting until I am at a desktop computer to transfer the files and them upload them from there is not the solution I am looking for.

Timeshift Slow-mo edit again possible?

So i saw in a friend's iphone that after recording the high fps video, it was possible to edit that original video and edit the slow motion selection whenever they want...
Is this possible in our case (as long as the original 120 fps video is in the phone in the 120p folder)? or will we never be able to edit selections after that one time?
maybe someone develops a video editing app to edit the original video to stretch the timeline again of the original video....

if you have saved the original 120 fps video, you can only edit it again/in album app when you have the Sony Movie Creator installed (look at update center if it isnt installed yet).
now on the video there will appear a little symbol where the video can be opened in movie creator. now you have the possibility to cut the video or to choose a part of the video where you can adjust the speed of the video (1x , 1/2x etc) .
hope this will help

It wont work cause the screen is only full hd.. you wont be able to select higher res.....

I was able to play a 4k sample video and on chrome and dolphin browser I was able to select 4k/2k as well, whether or not is 4k it's questionable but it is selectable.

Video quality of posts in Facebook and Instagram

Hi,
Did anyone else has problems with pixelated video in social networks (fb, insta). And i'm not talking about my uploads... Every video i see has this issue. I'll try to get a screenshot or video edit of this also.

Same for me, only vidéos but all apps: Twitter Facebook and Instagram..

I've just bought my Huawei P20 Pro and video quality in facebook, instagram, even some youtube videos is really bad, pixelated. I compare to my iPhone 6 which I still have it and it is a 4 years older phone which runs them perfect on a smaller screen. There must be some trick with the resolution that Huawei must fix! Any info to share?

Bad audio and visual
This is the same for me. The quality of the sound is bad as well. I think someone said on here that Snapchat doesnt use the camera on android but "screen records" the video thats on the screen or something, But the sound should be good.
It is so bad its like using a camera from 20 years ago

Same Here, Any Fix for This?
I have the same issue, can anyone direct me to any link that could help me solve this? Thank you!

Have you downsized screen resolution or set it to automatic?
Settings - Display - Screen Resolution.

No, it is just the way the app is on android I am afraid. I have learned to take the video using the camera app then later post to Instagram
It's a shame this, something needs to be done. Surely 2018 Android can take good quality videos using Instagram and snapchat

My gf cant post videos made outside of Instagram, on her Iphone. Instagram just closes.
So maybe Instagram is the one to blame.

For me, I recorded a video in 4K resolution with H265 audio codec. I uploaded to Youtube and wait for a while, YouTube process the video in 1080p 60fps. OK, not bad. But when I uploaded it to FB, FB downsized it to 720p 30fps. That is terrible. It's not the problem with the phone. My LG V20 also have similar experience. It's the Youtube, FB and Instagram to be blamed for downsizing the video files for easier upload.

No, I can play 4K vids from Youtube quite sharply.

Google photos can't play 4k video longer than a minute

Hi,
When I record a video (with stock camera app) in 4k that is longer than a minute in the photos app it laggs (1-4 fps), the sound is playing normally. When I try to play a 30 sec 4k video it runs smoothly. In other resolution everything is fine.
But, when I play that video in an other app (like Filemanager's built in video player) it is fine.
I deleted app data, and cache, still doesn't work.
I also tried to record a 4k 1 minute long video, wich is about 300MB, then I recorded a 10 minute video in FullHd wich is 1.6 GB, the FullHd video runs smoothly, so I don't think it is a problem with size. What could be the problem?

Same here brother. After i stabilized the video the vudeo become choppy. Or if I see recorded 4k video the video stuck at some piont and show like slidesjow of photos.

For the last 2 days, that is what i am frustratingly suffering. It was not sth existing a few days ago. I was wondering what caused this and saw your post. Appreciate all kinds of recommendations.

If anyone have a solution please let me know, I still have this problem. After June update all of my 4k videos are broken and I can't play them in Google photos.

Are you sure it happens only with videos longer than 1 min? I have the same problem but it's random.
Sometimes videos longer than 1 or 2 minutes play OK, sometimes very short videos lag.
Haven't tried less than 4k, though.
Super annoying - using VLC now.

I am facing the same problem

Hi, so I tried a few things, and it works.
Disable the app. If it asks to replace the app with the factory version click "ok". After that, enable the app, and DON'T update it, even if it asks to.
This worked for me, no problem at all, the 4k works, the slowmotion videos can be played without stopping too.

@Thuyamo so you lost the improved interface, dark mode and all that?
I am just afraid it will cause sync problems or something.

I'm currently on version 4.11, the newest in play store is 4.19 so it's not that old. For me this downgrade didn't cause any sync problem. Since the screen is so dim I don't want to make it harder to see stuff on my phone outside the house?, so I don't use dark mode at all. But yes, I lost the dark mode feature. The improved interface is there, I didn't lose it.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

I'm on 4.18.0.250747830 version, 1st play of recorded video was playing normally, smooth, but 2nd and so on lagging like hell

Try the second or the third one, please let me know if it works.

I don't care if it is working or not, to play videos I'm using MX Player Pro.

I created ticket [9-1423000026724] with Google One Support. Let's see how that goes.

Guys, this is a secret so SHHH don't tell anyone.

(Because, I mean, who in their right mind uses Google-anything. Just joking, but srsly.)

Ok, here is an update on ticket [9-1423000026724] with Google support.
Long story short, they said Google Photos cannot play 4k videos.
So I said that was not true and sent them screenshots of Photos running on an iPhone and on a Motorola Android phone, including the information pop-up that shows the video resolution.
They replied they did all they could and closed the case.
I am so dissapointed with their service. I did not expect a quick solution, but I thought they would acknowledge the bug.
What do we do now? I think opening more tickets with them is all we can do. Hope you guys can help me on that.
