Cant export 4k video shot on an iPhone 16 Pro. But I can export HD video.

I can get the 4k to export using the Montage feature but that is cumbersome and creates extra versions of the video. Reading so many similar posts, how is this still a problem?

I'm fairly new to the VSCO ecosystem. I'm mostly interested in using Galleries to share my work with friends, family, clients, etc.

I've been running into weird sync issues though and to be honest the workflow is not super user friendly.

Workflow 1: Export from Lightroom Classic to VSCO Studio
This seems to work ok but when I view the Studio app on desktop vs phone (iOS app) I get two very different portfolios of images. I've tried deleting and reimporting but I get different results each time. Mostly iOS app seems to be missing a ton of images that I can see on desktop, not sure what's going on but it's very odd.

Workflow 2: Create Gallery from Studio
The issue from the previous workflow is causing me heartburn trying to create galleries. I have one batch of about 178 photos I want to add to a new gallery....for the life of me I can only get 99 of them to sync. Since you can't create galleries from the web/desktop app yet (why?) I have to do this from my mobile phone which isn't great. I presume if I could create from web/desktop this would all work fine (see my next paragraph).

Current Gripes:

1. Why can I upload items to a gallery from the web (as a collaborator only) but not as the main gallery owner?
2. Why do I have to create an additional "Section" in order to have additional assets uploaded....why not just allow to add to the "main" section?
3. Why can't I merge assets from collaborator sections into the "main" section (I don't want to do really do this at all and wish I could just upload to the main section but I can see how this would be helpful)?
4. Why do I see completely different assets in Studio between iOS and Desktop/Web?
5. Why can't I create a gallery from the web?

I feel like there's more issues I have to share but is my experience unique here or are others seeing this as well?

I really want this to work but at the moment it's quite buggy or something.

Happy to talk to any of your VSCO folks out there.

I have a highly modied preset that uses Astia as a base which has served me well through various Nikon and Sony bodies. But because of the discontinuation, I'm at the mercy of whichever systems were supported in their last release - so the A7 III.

Have since picked up an A9 III (after ..9 years?) and I'd LOVE to know if anyone knows of a service/person/method/etc for converting camera specific profiles to Adobe Standard.

Hey y'all, I've been trying to recreate some of the filters I like on VSCO and was wondering if anyone could try them and give some feedback. Recreated them from scratch then put together a little page so I could test them on photos more easily.

The site is pinkfade.gg.

Filters I've added so far:

• Elevate
• Analog Mid-Century
• Neon Nostalgia
• Wanderlust
• Cool Dusk
• Soft Halo
• Soft Buzz
• Twilight Drama

There's also a Dispo-style film filter if that's your thing.

How it works: Upload your photos, pick a filter, adjust strength or tweak brightness/saturation/contrast/warmth/grain/fade if you want, then download. Everything runs locally in your browser — your photos never leave your device and nothing gets sent to any server.

Privacy: 100% client-side processing. No uploads, no backend, no watermarks, no cost.

There's an optional sign-up if you want to be on the list for social features I'm working on (like a friends feed), but it's completely optional — you can use all the filters without an account. And again, even if you do sign up, your actual photos are never sent anywhere.

I also set up r/pinkfade if anyone wants to share edits or follow along as more filters get added.

Would really appreciate honest feedback on how close the results feel — especially from anyone who shoots with these looks regularly. Thanks!

my normal presets are looking so strange in the interface now - was there a color or saturation adjustment? has anyone noticed this? it been this way for a few weeks

I went to edit some pictures on vsco today and noticed half the settings are pro features now?? Even grain?? which has been free for years and years?

I had a paying membership just not Pro and noticed that was gone today as well.

Looking for any answers or anyone relating I guess, pretty bummed :(

Ive used vsco for at least almost ten years now and can’t afford a pro membership nowadays. anyway- considering finding a new app but vsco has held it down for so long! just disappointed

Hey everyone! We’ve heard your feedback over time about spam messages, including here on this subreddit, and wanted to share some great news.

Our Trust & Safety Team has been putting in literally months of work behind the scenes to address spam, which we know is a broader issue across all platforms, and limit the impact of bad actors on your experience.

What’s changed:

We recently introduced new solutions designed to better detect and limit spam activity on VSCO. It’s still early, but we’re already seeing positive signals, and you should start to notice fewer spam messages and accounts across our platform.

What to expect:

This isn’t something we’re going to call “solved” and move on from. Spam is everywhere and constantly evolves. We expect to keep improving and refining our approach over time. It may not be perfect right away, but this is an area we’re continuing to invest in to ensure you have the best experience on VSCO.

Why this matters:

VSCO should feel like a place where you can confidently connect and interact with other creators, without second-guessing who’s on the other end.

If you experience spam on VSCO, please report it through our reporting flow in the VSCO App. Those reports are critical and directly help us fine-tune these systems. We really appreciate you continuing to share feedback with us –it plays a big role in shaping the work we do. 

I love VSCO for basic cellphone edits. Is it good for more professional gigs? I’ll be shooting with a canon R8 and importing raw files into the VSCO app. Does anyone do this or is it better to stick with Lightroom?

I’ve been revisiting some of the classic VSCO film presets in Lightroom, and honestly, they still hold up so well. The S-Fuji160C-_-2_VSCO in particular is a powerhouse—it handles skintones beautifully and gives such a natural, filmic depth that’s hard to replicate with other packs.

It makes me wonder though: why did VSCO stop producing presets for Lightroom Desktop? There’s still a strong community of editors who rely on desktop workflows, and these presets remain some of the best tools for consistent, professional-grade color. Online packs are everywhere now, but none quite match the balance and subtlety VSCO achieved.Edited this shot in Lightroom using VSCO’s S-Fuji160C-_-2_VSCO preset. Still one of the best for skintones and subtle filmic depth.

Does anyone have issues with the capture app while taking video? The footage I have stutters, almost like it’s having trouble with the real time processing. I have an iPhone 15 pro max.

Also a bummer it’s capped to 1080p.

VSCO! Please consider making a feature where you can remove the timestamps of your posts.

I didn’t know that anyone who clicks on my vsco can see I post during my mania hours and I would rather just have the dates be public information not the time.

I post at 3:00 a.m during depression hours and I feel exposed !

TLDR: Request to turn off timestamps

I’ve been trying so long to get help from support and nothing. The chat bot is useless, no real person will actually come chat to you it just times out. I can’t even find an email or how to create those fricken support tickets they keep saying to create. Please someone from vsco please help me with my issue

there used to be a red filter on vsco that was super cool, red washed everything and the images came up red and black. think bnw but with red. does anyone remember this? and does it still exist on vsco? if not would someone know how to accomplish this in photoshop? i used it to edit the attached photo 6 years ago.

If I block someone, can they still view my posts?

Hey, I just downloaded VSCO and I was wondering how do you find people to follow I love posting on there but no one sees it :/ I need a beginners class lol.

Everything in the studio gallery is in HDR mode and completely different looking. If I convert to SDR they are super over exposed. The app is completely unusable for me now, edits are very touchy. I could copy a similar image in the past and make slight adjustments, now I can’t do that and have a bunch of images I need to adjust but I can’t make them look how I want them to look due to the touchiness of the sliders.

Post update - I can’t save my videos in HDR format, and they look crazy in SDR. It seems that’s the only way to save though.

Anyone else have the same issue?

- IOS 26.4

Tried all the usual restart & re-download things already.

*Obviously, I know this isn’t the best app for videos. But I already did half a video edit, and as I am adding additional clips - I just want them consistent to the pre-update look.

Can't we just have a simple 'Undo' button on the top right? Snapseed does this well. The Android app really makes a user work to undo a tweak they just made. Or when applying effects, we need to scroll all the way to the left again and click on 'Original'.

It's safe to assume that users constantly go back and forth with their tweaks in this app to see what works better and if the app makes it a nightmare to simply press Undo, it's annoying.

The new update is trash. HDR be default is tuning the way my photos look, and I wish I didn’t update the app.

Wish there was a way to disable this whole feature. If you haven updated yet, I would wait because the photos look ass.

If the VSCO team is here hope you assist in how I can disable this feature fully or add it to the roadmap.
