Cannot edit video, file corrupted

[Tripper11]

Recently bought a Note 10 plus 5g. Everything was working fine, videos and pictures set to save on my sd card.
Initially I was able to shoot and edit video no problem until a couple nights ago when I noticed my videos were being saved to my camera(internal storage) and when I try to edit a video I get a "Cannot edit video. File corrupted or not supported" notice.
I've double checked all my settings and everything appears to be the same.
I tried copying a video to the sd card and editing it that way and I get the same notice.

Any ideas out there?

Thanks in advance.

How are you copying the video?
Are you sure the SD card storage is external storage? SD card and internal storage is usually the same location....

So whether I copy or not. The video cannot be edited due to message as mentioned in thread starter.
I checked again, and there are 2 options to highlight. Internal storage(which I assume means phone storage) and sd card(which I assume is the sd card I installed for extra memory and to avoid filling up my phone memory)
SD card is highlighted.
So when I take pictures, they go to SD card. when I first started using the phone, video was saving to sd card as well.
Then somewhere in the last couple of days, any video I shoot saves to the phone internal storage. And since that changed, bot my doinjg, I cannot edit video. They do playback on my phone, but when I share them with someone on messenger, they can't play them either.
Hope this clarifies.
Thanks.

Could you make a test video and post it somewhere online (using online storage file sharing or something like Firefox Send) and see if we're also having a problem with the video file? This might help narrow things down if the problem is tied to the camera app or something else.

Also, are you using the Samsung camera app? Which video editing app?

I'm using the Samsung camera app and trying to edit from the gallery with that is part of that.

Video plays just fine.

But you put it on Youtube.
So they are going to reformat anything that you upload to them, for compatibility and compression.

So we are not experiencing the issue.
We need the actual file as it is on your device.

Could you put the video onto another service, like maybe drive, and post a link to it?

Actually, Drive may very well do the same thing.

Some other online storage would be better.

I have the same problem

What problem?
Please be specific as to what is happening.

Now that I read through this thread again, it seems as if the OP may have been dealing with a bunk SD card.

First things first.
If your issue is exactly as the OP in this thread, then change your save location to 'phone'.
This is wher i should be anyway, and then when you decide what you want to keep- that is what you put onto the SD card.

Now, try using a video editing app, like the one that I use, and see if this solves the other problems.

If it is difficult to find your video using YouCut, then first locate the file with your file manager and then share it to the YouCut app.

Interestingly enough, an unadvertised feature of YouCut is that it will also transcode files that are incompatible into mp4 format.

I am having the same problem, with the same phone. Looks to be at the same time aswell. He explained it abouf as detailed as it can be, so I hope this image helps bring a bit more context. When we press the edit button this is the message we get.

This is the image if it didnt upload properly.

Downoad YouCut, and use that to edit the video.
If it does not appear as an option when you tap 'edit', then share the video to YouCut instead.

I even use YouCut as a video transcoder when I have media that will not play in any other app.
