Sometimes you only want one bit — the twenty seconds where the dog does the thing. You don't have to prepare the whole Tape for that.
Individual recordings can be saved straight to your Photos library, and because there's nothing to build first, it's quick.
Saving one recording
Press and hold the Tape and choose Manage Recordings.
Find the recording you want.
Tap Play first if you're not sure which one it is.
Choose Export to Photos.
iOS asks permission the first time you save anything to your library.
It appears in Photos, in your Recents.
This one has no date stamp
Burning the date into the picture is offered when you prepare a whole Tape. A single recording saved this way is exported as filmed.
Which one should I use?
- Export one recording
- Quick, no preparation, no date stamp option. Best for sending someone a moment.
- Prepare and export the Tape
- The complete memory as one video, with the option to burn in the date. Best for keeping and for handing on.
Tips
Trim the recording first if it has a slow start — the export copies whatever the recording currently is.
Saving a recording to Photos doesn't remove it from the Tape. You end up with two copies, which is rather the point.
Troubleshooting
Export to Photos is greyed out or missing.
- Check the recording's file still exists — a recording marked unavailable can't be exported.
- Wait for any preparation on that Tape to finish.
It says permission was denied.
- Turn on Settings → Videflo → Photos, then try again.
Frequently asked
Does exporting a recording delete it from the Tape?
No. It makes a copy; the Tape is unchanged.
Can I export several recordings at once?
Not in one go — they're exported one at a time. To get everything together, prepare and export the whole Tape instead.
