I'm not sure if the system update or one of the recent camera updates is the culprit here, but quite a few (but far from all) of the videos taken with Motorola's stock camera end up out of sync. There is a quite significant (up to a second) delay between audio and video, both when playing it back on the device itself as well as when playing it anywhere else.
So not the playback, but the creation of these 1080p videos is somehow bugged. There also is little rhyme or reason why these specific videos are out of sync although it appears to possibly happen more with low light video recordings.

I've noticed this too. For me, this happens mostly when the battery is low. I have heard that big cores get shut off below a certain percentage, so perhaps this has something to do with it.
I've personally noticed the quality of the video capture is choppy. The 1080p 30 fps capture lags when moving objects are on the screen. For example, I shot a video of some quick hand movements (no jokes about male body parts here, please!) and the camera did not replicate them in real time. I would estimate a 200-400 MS delay in rendering.
Anyone have any thoughts?

I have noticed an unusual bug with the HTC Album video player and I am unsure what it is or how to fix it. It seems to only effect videos recorded with the HD2 (videos recorded with my old HTC Diamond play fine) however these same videos play with no problems using coreplayer.
At random points in the image frames there are elements of distortion sometimes these points turn green other times they are just blurry. These points like i say are random but in the same place and time frame each time an individual video is played (does that make sense? lol). I managed to capture some distortion with my mobiler. This is quite mild really, I have seen worse and I have seen this same video play with that bottom section completely green for half a second or so before settling correct again.
Any ideas guys? Anyone else having this problem?
Incidently this video is of my cat attacking the missus through the fence when she was gardening lol.
Didn't mean to edit this.
BTW, in case anyone was interested. Open Camera has no video limitation and every function seems to work. There's still a 4GB limit, so depending on resolution that will produce shorter or longer videos. There is an option to restart video automatically. The hardware zoom is a little funky, but there's a touchscreen (-) and (+) to zoom which works fine for relatively stationary video.
This solved my issue with recording college lectures. I record in 720p so the video reaches just about an hour and restarts automatically. I upload the lectures to YouTube right after class. People are thankful if they miss class, and I get return favors, so life is good.
Hi there!
Occasionally, when using the slow motion setting the video will record, play back in slow motion, but the fps will not be up to par - as in, it'll be set to 240 fps but will most definitely look choppier and not as smooth as I know it should be. A restart of the phone usually fixes this but there's no way to tell if it's not working until I record a video and play it back. Any one else experiencing this? Also, all the sample slo-mo videos online look so crisp and clear, while my videos tend to look pretty noisy, even with decent light. Any input is appreciated.
I've had issues when viewing the videos in Google Photos as well. Not sure if it's related to the video or other HDR photos still processing, or just Google Photos doing whatever it does to index them. I have sync set to charging only and wifi only, but when I was at my grandma's house taking videos of her dog jumping and doing tricks, when I played them back they would play OK the first time, but if I started moving the sliders and jumping to different spots in the video, it would freeze up or get really choppy.
Hoping it will be fixed with an app update soon.
I am having the exact same issue you described. It's not a playback issue. It's choppy even played back on a computer.
It is supposed to capture at 240 fps and stretch that out into a 30 fps video file. Look at the properties of a slow-mo video file, it should say something like 29 fps. When mine isn't working correctly, and the playback isn't smooth, that video file's properties says 7 fps. So, it seems like it's capturing 4 times slower than it's supposed to, at 60 fps or something.
Restarting my phone fixes it, for a few days. I've only had the phone a couple weeks and have had this happen twice now. No clue why this happens. Surely it's more widespread than just us.
As for the grainy noise, you have to have a lot of light, more than you'd need for a normal video. Mine are pretty grainy unless there's a ton of light.
Yeah, mine becomes choppy too sometimes. A reboot fixes it for a while. I've seen this issue posted a few different places so I think it's a software/firmware problem that Google will need to resolve.
Just wanted to add that I have the exact same problem, meaning that it still hasn't been fixed.
I know this is an old post, but I just got a 6p and I too have this issue. I'm even on DP4 so it's not fixed yet in this release either... Reboot is the only temporary fix I've found.
I seem to be having issues with video recording and stutter. The settings are 1080p 60fps, being recorded to a SanDisk Extreme Plus 64GB. It's almost as if the phone can't keep up and it makes the end shot look terrible. Not to mention my auto focus is constantly readjusting and out of focus. Anyone else having similar issues and/or know a fix? Here's a quick example (warning a little loud).

I see the stuttering as the car pass (nice car by the way). I just bought the 7edge yesterday now i'm tempted to return it
I started experiencing that large video playing on YouTube lags the sound, especially when a video is long. The sounds go way ahead from the video. It looks like the phone lacks the ram or performance but it has a decent tech specification, should be an issue, especially when I play a video on a low resolution. Has anyone else experienced the same issue?
I have a similar issue with video playback. However, it is not only with youtube, it is with all videos. Even those on google photos, etc. The playback timer doesn't start, but the video starts with no sound, then the playback timer starts with the sound and the video freezes until the sound catches up with the video. The issue disappears with a restart and only started happening recently. Very odd.
Made an account for this lul... Anyways it seems like I fixed the issue on my phone, I disabled the mobile manager, let me know if that works for you. Good luck
I had to update youtube
