Export video (Android) always freezes at 100%

Post by Cleggmeister »

Hey chums, I've had this problem all day. I have taken a 30 minute piece of "dashcam" (not track) footage and I go to Export. All goes well until 100% Overlaying Video, then it hangs my phone. Can I do the overlaying on my PC instead, or am I being stupid? Many thanks. Petrolhead edition, MotoG4 with 64GB genuine Class10 SD card.

Switch to software based video encoding (Expert Setting). It is slower but produces better quality and is not that sensible to frame decoding / encoding issues.

Harry, is there a simple way I can take the overlay file off the phone and use my powerful PC to encode the overlay over the video? I know there are thirdparty tools for this - I'm cool with that - I just need to know how to find the overlay file so that I can get it onto my PC?

These applications import CSV files usually.

OK, thanks, but how do I get the overlay off the mobile phone used for capture, and where is it stored, and what file type am I looking for buddy? Many thanks, Cleggy.
