<p>I haven't used the Android version, so I don't know whether it splits into 4GB chunks, but Filmic Pro is a widely respected video camera app, and they make an Android version. The 4GB limit might be a limitation of the file system. <a href="https://www.filmicpro.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.filmicpro.com/</a></p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-02-11)

I want to record someone speaking for about an hour without any gaps. To do this i'm using a Samsung Galaxy s8.

The default video application splits the video into 4gb files when recording longer videos; which would be ok, but when I take them into a video editor to join them, they don't fully match up.

Is there a way round this without rooting my phone.

I've tried a few video applications and recorded to the internal and sd memories.
