Time Lapse not saving on iPhone 11 Pro

I always like to Time Lapse take off and landing when I’m flying, but I had problem few times that the video is not saved it shows as “Loading” but stays there forever and I can’t see or use it anywhere. I have plenty space available, +200gb I have the 256gb version

So I just did few tests.


Did 4 Time-Lapse videos connect to my Wi-Fi, all of them worked fine

Did 4 time-lapse videos with airplane mode on, all of them worked fine


This morning I did again in the plane a time-lapse during take off, worked perfect, the landing time lapse didn't work, it is stuck in the eternal Loading when I try to open it, from Camera App or from Photo app.


It's very weird, looks like the first video works, the second don't

This is happening to a ton of people. I take a ton of time-lapses for youtube videos. I often take sunsets and sunrises. I took a beautiful sunrise yesterday for 30 plus minutes and it worked fine. The next day I do it again, and I get the forever loading screen when it's compiling. VERY FRUSTRATING! I have an iphone XR, but I see it hasn't been fixed in the iphone 11's either on other threads.

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities Berike,


It looks like no one has responded to your question. Here are a couple things that might help others answer your question:


  1. Does this happen with every video you try to take using Time-lapse?
  2. Which version of software are you using?
  3. Are you connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data when you try to play the videos back?


Thanks.

It is random, it happened after I already did a time lapse video, then the second is broken, it was in a short period of time. This time I had problem I did time lapse recording a take off then after 1:30 I did again for landing, but it turned into a video of only 1 second.


I'm using 13.3.1


First time I tried was using cellular data, but even if I get into WiFi it still the same, a video from last month still not opening.
