The recording of 4K videos has become common in our mobiles, which although generally have a Full HD screen, with the recording in this quality they allow us to watch the videos without losing quality on large televisions. But this higher quality also means a larger size of the generated video files. So you can reduce its size on a Motorola .
So if you are not willing for your phone to generate huge video files when you record in 4K, in the event that you have a Motorola mobile, it is possible to reduce that size with a native function of these phones, which is actually quite successful.
Maintain quality, downsize
That is the key and the magic formula that could allow us to have it all, a very high video recording quality and at the same time a contained weight, not reduced, but less heavy than usual. The Motorola camera app on Android 10, and on mobiles that incorporate 4K video recording quality, allow us to access more features to personalize the user experience. And one of them is precisely the possibility of limiting the size of videos recorded in 4K.
To do this, the type of format in which the video is saved is modified, from H.264 / AVC to H.265 / HEVC . This change allows to keep the video quality practically the same as in the original format, but with more compression, so it weighs less . The only factor to take into account when using this format is that it may not be as compatible with some playback platforms, but the normal thing is that in most places you will not have problems playing these videos.
How is this function activated?
As we said, it is a native functionality of Motorola mobiles that have Android 10, and of course in those that their cameras can record with this 4K quality. To activate it we must do the following:
- Open the camera of your Motorola mobile
- Click on video recording mode
- Select the settings icon at the top right of the screen
- Scroll down the menu until you reach the section “save settings”
- Activate the ” useful videos ” function
This option with such an unconventional name hides that function that reduces the size of the files. From then on, when you record videos in 4K, the video files generated will have a lower weight than usual, which will allow you to have more free space in the storage of your Motorola, even if you get the most out of your video camera 4K.
