Reason for no video?

Post by Merlin »

I tried taking a 20 minute vid this morning. When looking at the recording tab, the entry for the event was there but the vid would not show. I plugged the phone into the PC and the vid was stored on the phone but not showing in the app.

Is there a reason why this has happened? I may have closed the app whilst the message "Video has been passed to the photo app..." was displayed.

Has anyone else tried to reason why this happens? Is there a procedeure to follow to stop it from happening?

Once the recording is finished, VideoPro transfers the video into the Photo library. Once this process is completed, the recording itself is associated with this (new) video. It seems that due to the backgrounding during transfer, this association / linkage has not been established correctly. To repair the link, just select the Recording (Recording Details), press 'Edit' and 'Add Video' afterwards. Select the video to establish the link again.

I just tried out my new case and Video Pro app, thought everything was going well, started the app and verified it was recording, place my helmet on my head and went for a 10 minute moto. When I was finished I removed my helmet, looked at my iPhone and found it had went in to sleep mode, woke it up, had to restart the app, and found data and no video, not even in my photo folder. UGH, what happen? It was my first one!!!!

Hi, the usual reason for missing videos in VideoPro is an interruption of the app by incoming calls etc. This sends VP to background and makes VP start a cleanup process - including purging the video. Furthermore, when sent to background, VP certainly does not keep the device from going to sleep... The least I recommend for the current version is forwarding incoming calls to your mailbox. This will cure most of the issues.

Any idea when an updated version might be released? I think the app is ok but in comparison to other apps at this price I was a little disappointed and maybe it is because I have only tried using it twice and both times my video has been lost. I would like to hear a sound and or feel a vibration when the recording is started or stop so that when it is on my helmet I know if I have started it or not. It would also be nice if it did not shutdown for whatever reason or maybe an option of not allowing other apps to interfere while recording video. Hopefully my next run will go better and I will finally have some video to play back.

Thanks

iOS does not allow apps to simply block interruptions. So video recordings will always be stopped if you allow other apps (including phone calls) to interrupt. The issue VideoPro currently has is it does not nicely finish recording when interrupted. Update date is not decided yet. Till then, please forward calls to mailbox as recommended above.

I finally got a video. Took a 5 minute recording and then tried another one but it was 15 minutes which I didn't have enough memory for it so it was lost. Very cool app once you get It figured out. More memory is better, never anticipated having any memory problems till know so I may have to upgrade my phone. Thank for the app and the support.
