I had to convert the video file to a gif to get it to upload, only to have it be converted back by Mastodon. There should really be more allowed formats and also a bigger upload limit
@noiob It's especially difficult when the video is stored on your phone- mine captures things at a default 1080p60 and the files it produces are far too large
You'd think Google would give their Photos app the functionality to share a scaled-down copy, but I guess they just want you to access everything from the ~cloud~
@Kit my LG app can downscale to as low as 480p
@noiob I'd ignored literally every preloaded LG app on mine 😲
@Kit some of them are quite nice
Heck and it looks like it's now skipping a frame?
