Frequently asked questions
Why doesn’t my older device play my video?
Modern phones record in HEVC (H.265), which older devices and some platforms cannot decode. H.264 is supported everywhere.
Will the file be larger?
H.264 is less efficient than HEVC, so the file may grow — a fair trade for playing everywhere.
