Video recording 4k60 - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
Is there any information about 4k60fps video recording?
Is it still limited to 5 or 10 minutes?
I hope the fixed it in the plus version with 512gb of storage.
Thanks ?

I'm wondering about this as well.

I read somewhere on youtube that the time limits may still be there, 10 minutes @1080P 60fps and 5 minutes @4k 60fps. Still not an actual confirmation so I'm still hoping that the limits have been removed.

So need to root the phone again to remove them ... this is pain! Apple doesn`t have limits at all .... the only limit is your storage : ( but i don`t like the egg phones =)
thank you for the information

I was in Best Buy store today and did play with their display units of all S10 models, but mainly spent time with S10e, as this is what I have preordered. I did go to camera and saw that 4K/60p mode, but haven't recorded anything. So you could go to best buy and try it out

I have read the recording restrictions remain other than the slo-mo recording which I believe has doubled in duration.

Just found this on youtube,

X1 & 30min Video recording CAP :(

I'm not sure if most of you realize that X1 video recording is restricted upto 30min per video only
I wonder if this limit is applied by Sonyericsson or Windows Mobile?
How could we overcome this limitation?
Please advise
Indeed that`s a big problem.
at least i know to be aware of this in the future!
What are u filming? some pornography?
if u do that much recording i suggest u get a portable pocket camcorder like Creative Vado HD..ya its high def and fits in your pocket.

Very funny
Actually if u r filming a memory of ur kid's 1st birthday, it takes much longer
And No, i don't need to be loaded with devices as long as i have X1 with 30fps so this cap is crap.
the countdown when recording say 10 hours though, am i missing something?

Right.
The countdown shows you the estimation of allover recording duration according to your free space
Yet, the recording a time can't exceed 30 min

No it doesnt mean I have 10 hours of free space, because when i first inserted my 16GB micro sdhc card with about 15 GB's left it said 9 hours 59 mins 59 secs... now that I only have 4 GB's left it still says 9 hours 59 mins 59 secs. I have never tried recording over 30 mins but what you said doesnt make sense because no matter how many GB's I have left the 10 hour doesnt move. Now I'm not saying it will not stop at 30 mins but I disagree with your explanation.
Your case justification makes sense.
I double checked mine and it tells 5:26hrs and also never moves up or down
I run 8GB SDHC, any suggestions whats that meter for as long as we can't exceed the 30min cap?
is there a solution to this?

Camera Recording time limit

Does Note 9 has a recording time limit? On which mode?
I haven't tried it myself on the store so I don't know.. I remember my S8 has a limitation on some of the mode... Hope Note 9 doesn't have one.
I am very sad/ pissed to inform you that the note 9, 512gb does have record limits.... I bought this model specifically so I can use to record videos , instead of carrying my sony ax53 around. I placed my preorder back in mid August, and it was finally delivered yesterday.
3840 x 2160, 60fps: 5 minute limit
3840 x 2160, 30fps: 10 minute limit
2560 x 1440, 30fps: no limit
1920 x 1080, 60fps: 10 minute limit
1920 x 1080, 30fps: no limit
2224 x 1080, 30fps: no limit
1440 x 1440, 30fps: no limit
1280 x 720, 30fps: no limit.
No limit really means till you fill up your storage.
I don't really want to root my phone, but may have to in hopes of getting a zero camera mod or I should just return this phone and get an iphone....... moving from a pixel 2xl, to note 9. Been using android since HTC hd2 then to Samsung s2, note4, nexus 5x, s7edge, pixel 2xl, now note9.

Nope, don't root your phone just for looking zero camera mod... for note 9 it is still not available...
So the issue seems to go much deeper to the file system with a limit of 4gb file sizes. Why Samsungs own app has that limitation(boggles my mind )Maybe a custom rom with ext4 or exfat file system for where the files are stored?
Edit( most likely a limitation where the storage location where pictures and video are stored is formatted fat32 to allow windows machines to see them when plugged in to transfer videos without paying Microsoft extra licensing for exfat)
I tried using open camera and 4k 60fps is not supported at any bitrate
4k 30fps will record up 4gb, then creates a new one once the size is reached however, the transitions from one file to the next is not seamless ( about a half second gap loss) after putting the videos into an editor.

Hmm.. Personally I used a S8 for video recording, and I even record video files with 20GB+ size.. I haven't tried with my Note 9 yet, but I assume it will have the same capability (since we had an unlimited recording time on lower res and fps). So far, I think Samsung limits the recording time so the phone won't get too heated up.
So I set my camera to 2560 x 1440, and using the default camera , I let it sit and record for about 2 hours. I turned off off hevc mode to make the size bigger. The recording looked like it was going just fine until I looked at the video, and it had been automatically broken into multiple files at 4.3gb each. Gotta find a way to reformat the sdcard partition, to see if that is what is causing the limit. I've added screenshots to show.
Any new news with this tread? I am pissed off about this limits,. 1080p,60fps and this 10 minutes limit? This is bullsht! Is there any other app that can record 1080p with 60fps without time limit? I want to record my first review od earphones (i work in music shop and have unlimited access to earphones and players ) and i dont want to bring my camera with me every time when i want to record video :/ And my daughter is performing (she plays cello) and i want to have ability to record longer video than 10 minutes

Nope. It still has limitations even in Pie.
Looks like Samsung did this to ensure the phone not getting overheated.
If you really want to remove the limitations, you need to root the phone.

I was afraid that someone might say this. Very sad news. And i am amazed by this. 4k 30fps vids without limitations but fullhd and 60 fps - 10 minutes because of overheating? That is full of cra... ehm... hi end device god damn! And so much disappointment.

4k30fps also have 10 minutes limitation.
To be honest, I can't really blame Samsung for doing this. Even my gopro heats up at 1080p 60fps. Even though gopro doesn't have time limitation, we need to remember that gopro processor exists solely for capturing videos only. Meanwhile, on Samsung phone, there will be many task burdens the phone besides of recording as well.
For the record, I rooted my old S8 and use it to record seminars etc. The phone still heats up even though I solely use it for recording (airplane mode turned on and I don't have any games or social apps installed there). At one point, even the phone overheated when I use the 60fps mode.

Agreed but still - so powerfull phone as Note9 should have overcome this heating problem that exist for so many years, don`t you think? And on the other hand, i have this small cheap camera for car road recording, 1080p, 60fps - all working, for many hours straight - no problem, warm - yes but no damage there. And that is 5 years old peace of cheap cam.
Maybe there is some apps that dont have time limitation and can record 1080p, 60fps? Do you know any? I`ve tried few but no success.

Hacked gcam works for me actually. I once tried to record it on 4k60 without any time limitation. But currently, since the development is stopped, I'm not really sure, even more on my Pie Note 9.

I`ve just tried modified gcam for exynos and it is not working with full hd and 60fps. I`m affraid that i will have to use my mirrorless camera for recordings or just cuts my recordings in 10 minutes pieces and using some software to join movies in one piece. Damn. So expensive phone and so much problems with it.

Hmm.. That is strange... Perhaps we're using different version of gcam? Mine was able to record 1080/60 without problem.
Also, the recordings cut in 4GBs... It's still everywhere.. To be honest, I'm quite amazed by how the industry doesn't catch up with exfat formatting that allows for more than 4GB per file.. Even in latest GoPro camera and DJI Osmo Pocket that I bought, it still have 4GB limits. My partner even have a handycam that stubbornly splits into several 4GB files.
So, yeah, for combining files, we still do have problems.
If you want to maximize the video recordings on your note 9, I suggest that you root your phone. Well, you won't have access to samsung pay or other secured apps anymre, but personally I think it is a good chaoice if you want portability and long high quality videos in a same package.
Edit:
Also, using the rooted app, you can film file without splitting. So, it will really helps if you really concern about joining files.
well, you guys talked a lot about the 4GB limitation... actually most of the modern android phones don't have the fat32-formatted internal storage, and the so-called internal storage is in fact the directory /data/media mounted on /storage/emulated as the virtual filesystem "sdcardfs", while the /data partition on samsung phones is formatted to ext4. therefore, storing a file larger than 4GB in /sdcard won't be a problem at all. (and i have a 10 GB linux chroot image on it. )
moreover, samsung has FUSE exfat support. i also have an exfat-formatted micro sd card in my phone. you can give it a try too - just format it to exfat on computer and insert to your phone, it should work properly.
btw, im using galaxy s8 and looking for the solution to the time limit too. i'd only like to record [email protected] videos for longer than 10mins, don't really care about 4k stuff. any advices would be very appreciated, even if root is required.

for s8: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mera_mod_samsung_s8_bitrate_settings&hl=en_US
root is required. removes the time limit and you can modify bitrate settings. doesn't cut at 4 GB but might seamlessly split the file after about 18-20 GB. when you join the two files, you won't notice it was cut.
i needed something to remove the time limit as i needed to record up to 8 hours of video at a time. i came here to see if there are any alternatives to it, and i'm still searching for something similar (and better) for a year now. nothing else works and i haven't found a better alternative for a year now. this is the only thing that works as intended.
it's also available for note8, note9, s7, and s9. hope to see it on the note10 soon.
p.s. your phone will overheat in about one hour if it's a hot summer day outside. it will take some more if it's colder. i use a fan.

this sounds good. i've had a look at the description and watched the video, it seems that the actual magic is in the generated module zip file. why not just open it and see what's modified, and how the modified files differ from the original ones, in case you'd like to get rid of the app or do some further modifications? i've discovered that the /system/cameradata/camera-feature.xml file contains some interesting configurations, thought i haven't tried that app yet since im not sure what it'll actually do or if it's undo-able. and if you don't mind, can you attach your module file please?

Super Slow Mo Recording Length time?

Hey Guys,
Just wondering if there is any way to make the Super Slow Mo time longer then .2 or .4 secs?
Are there any 3rd party apps that allow you to use the Samsungs 960fps Super slow Mo to a longer recording time?
Reason me asking is because i try to record specific videos but hard to time it to capture the event in its 2 or 4 sec window.
The auto capture feature wont catch some small events so that option does not always work for me.
any input would be appreaciated!

I guess not because of hardware limitation..
Im guessing we wold need 16gb of ram or 12 core 3 ghz processor for that.....
But if you find a way post an answer ?
slomo just writes video files with high framerates. apart from available storage space, i dont get why a longer record time wouldn't be possible... unless it buffers it in memory while the write to internal storage is done so to not get dropped frames.
internal storage is quite fast though...
Hmm.. 1280x720 pixels times 960 frames per second = 884 736 000 raw samples per second (assuming each pixel has single color, to be processed for full color, then some other processing, then encoded/compressed to video file formats, before stored).
That is, order of magnitude 1 GB/s of raw data to be processed or stored (assuming 8-bit samples for videos; they could more or less bits). SD cards are still 10-30x too slow to take that raw data in. CPUs (with DSP units) might be capable enough to process and encode that stream in real time.. The RAM might be able to move the data at that rate (so maybe up to few seconds could be taken, if enough RAM is free before the snippet). But there could be a bottleneck on the bus between the camera and the SoC.
Maybe there is some internal buffer that fills up while earlier samples are simultaneously being pushed from camera to SoC, and the buffer fills up at around that 0.4s point.
Note that the [email protected] and [email protected] both are about 500 MB/s, and the system can sustain that. So, the extra 500MB/s * 0.4s would indicate about 200MB buffer size, if that idea is correct.
But, what if we could have even half that resolution (say, 850x480) at 960fps, or the 1280x720 at 480fps? Those should have the similar lower data rates that can be sustained.
Just as a side note - 0.2 seconds on the Note 9 is real 960fps capture, resulting in an 8 second clip with 6 seconds of slow motion. 0.4s is filmed at 480fps, stretched and interpolated such that you get 12 seconds of slow motion as if it was filmed at 0.4s/960fps. So they need to cut the corners in some ways, but I do wish there was a 1080p option like the Xperia XZ2, even if it is more brief.
What I'm somewhat annoyed is that there's occasionally a stutter or frame repeats that occur with super slo mo, especially after the latest update I got a few weeks ago. I tried clearing the camera app data which didn't help.

camera question

Dears,
There's a weird thing record video it records for 5 minutes or 10 which is frustrating because you can't always tell when the recording stopped. It's there a way to change this? Btw I've only tried recording on 4k 30 fps & and 60 fps. Why use 1080 when you have 4k. Please help. Is there a setting I need to change?

4K and 60fps are limited to 10 minutes. If you want to record longer you have to switch to 1080p.

Yup. Need to limit it. Otherwise your phone will overheat.
For clearer list of limits:
4K @ 60 = 5 minutes
4K @ 30 = 10 minutes
FHD @ 60 = 10 minutes
Super slow motion has limit of 0.4 seconds per snippet, and, at most 20 such clips per recorded video (depends on the settings). (Although at least the Samsung/ca-site still thinks its 0.2 seconds.)
The funny thing is, while FHD @ 60fps has 10 minutes limit, the slow motion mode (FHD @ 240fps) has no limit (at least no limit shown on the display like for the three limited modes), and that mode would have the highest input pixel rate of all the modes. Yet no overheating / time limit with it? Go figure
Can one immediately continue with another 5 or 10 minute clip, giving no time for cooling down? I have not tried, but I haven't read about any limits on immediate restart, either. Also, if overheating is the reason, then ambient temperature should reduce all those limits (unless they are already based on the worst case, which would sound quite a stupid design decision, because the worst case can be quite a bit nastier (say, 35C-40C) than a typical situation (~20-25C). So yeah, I don't quite buy that overheating yet.
However, whatever the reason, the limits are those. If they are too short, a real video camera might be the solution.
Thank you all for the replies it's just really annoying with the limits and I've not encountered heating issues yet and I've been restarting the recording for almost 40 minutes. Tried it in two different environments. 1 Jordan the middle east in heat. 2 the Philippines on the beach with humidity.
I record videos using a third party app. No time limits, and trust me, no overheating issues.

In 4K and/or 60fps?
As you know Samsung plays it safe now with overheating and battery issues. So you can't blame them for being cautious.

Which 3rd party app let you record [email protected]? I tried probably all available apps. None of them allowed me to set [email protected] fps. They removed pro mode from official app, so there is no way to record 4k 60fps video with fixed iso/exposure. This phone is useless for video recording on pie.

Afaik, they did not remove the [email protected] option, there are mentions of this even on this forum, but see also e.g.
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/No-Video-Pro-Mode-after-S9-Update/td-p/458656
That is, they just failed badly with the user interface design.
However, the pro video mode was removed. That above thread seems to indicate that the Samsung's camera app is supposed to get the pro video mode back... some day.. maybe.. I believe it when I see it.
For the "which 3rd party app let you record [email protected]".. Since that Phazonclash' message is old (probably pre-Pie), and I am still on the old version, I think I can say this much (but NOTE: I have Exynos, Snapdragon versions had restrictions, like no 60fps):
Filmic Pro seems to allow recording at 4K 60fps, and after downloading the test snippet to PC, VLC claims H264 MPEG4 ACV1, 3840x2160, 60.005110fps, and about 200Mbit/s bitrate. So at least Filmic Pro could do it on Exynos with pre-Pie firmware. (Of course the encoding and quality/bitrates can be adjusted, but I just did a quick test with whatever other settings.)
Due to some bugs/things (mainly due to external mic activation quirk), I contacted Filmic recently, and they suggested that I'd stay with this earlier firmware, even though the external mic issue seems to have gotten fixed with/in Pie - they still have some other issues when running on Pie. And I'll indeed be delaying my update until Samsung can get its Pie version properly developed and past this real beta-testing period. So, I can't test if that Filmic Pro [email protected] situation would have changed to worse. And naturally, can't say anything for the Snapdragon variants.
See also: https://filmicpro.helpscoutdocs.com/article/41-samsung-s9-and-s9-filmic-pro-v6-compatibility-guide
That one reveals some of the things hampering the 3rd party apps. Some additional bits here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/help/using-s9-plus-filmic-pro-zhiyun-smooth-t3847010
Even with those restrictions, I wouldn't call the phone "useless" for video recording (in general); quite the great movies have been done with systems far less capable than even the restricted Snapdragon variants. But the lack of fixed exposure etc. sure limits a lot, even more than the lack of 60fps.

I know about it, but when I can't set fixed exposure and iso it's like not being about to record at all for me, because auto mode for video is absolutely dreadful in literally every situation.
PS. my Note have Exynos CPU too.
Filmic Pro - tried their test app and it says that there's [email protected] support. I was about to buy it, but I hate paying for something without testing it first. I downloaded "patched" version and I wasn't able to set anything above 30fps. Even for lower resolutions (it was just greyed out). So this app is nothing but scummy scam. At least for Note 9 @ pie (but still, I don't know why their test app says that this mode is supported, this app is not cheap and they should release trial version - 1 day trial would be enough).

Yeah, trial version would be better, but the test app is still better than having no demo/test/trial at all (like with many other paid apps).
Note that the "patched" version could have been made from an earlier version, still having a repertoire of issues with S9/S9+/Note 9, and if not patched by oneself from original version, who knows what other changes have been made. I'd say it is quite unjustified to claim a software "scummy scam" on the basis of testing an unofficial version. Especially in a situation where Samsung's firmware is already known to be more than a bit messed up (not supporting this or that, some things behaving differently than expected, etc.).
I'm not saying that the current official version wouldn't have any issues, on the contrary, it even crashes at times for me (I think related to external mic stuff, but, could also be a fault in the firmware).
However, I can say that it certainly is not a "scummy scam". I did buy it, after reading plenty about it, and have since used it a bit, e.g. recording few presentations. Seems to work quite well in general. Though I dislike some of its UI design, somewhat inconvenient for certain things. And its user manual still doesn't even seem to know about Android (thus settings are listed and explained as for iPhone only).
That it has problems with Note 9 (S9/S9+) with Pie (and also some issues before Pie) seems to be caused mostly (but not only) by Samsung restricting things deliberately and providing broken camera APIs for third parties to use.
But I also think Filmic should tell more openly about issues on these phones if using Pie at the time being, instead of only mentioning "Samsung S9 and Note9: better compatibility with Android Pie.". Which, while true (better than before does not mean that it is not without serious issues), seems to be quite misleading compared to the full current state of things (and they know about that).
All in all, those who have already updated to Pie might be SOL (for the time being, at least), but mostly due to Samsung having buried its head in its own ***. It is already known what the hardware can/could do (and might be able to do even more than what is already known), and if the APIs and firmware worked correctly and without deliberate restrictions, there would be plenty of apps utilizing it all, making Samsung's own camera app look like a poor exercise.

Question Stutters in videos

Hi, I have a problem when I take videos in 60fps. 4k or fullhd.
I always have jerks. An example on this video
At 10 seconds you can see the problem.
I tried to configure in h264 or h265 but it does not change anything...
Thank you in advance for your solutions.
Tried resetting the phone to the factory defaults?

I'm a videographer using this phone. Its a bit frustrating, but i think i know what the issue is. Dont use in built stabilization modes. They work, but they cause frames to drop out. I bought a gimbal system for the stabilization issue ( i needed to buy one anyway ) and the stutters are gone.

The problem is the same with me even if I disable stabilization.
