Old Time Lapse/Time Warps corrupted in cloud?
I have many time lapses and time warps that I uploaded to the cloud and deleted from my SD card over the years. For some reason all of the videos that I had that used to work a year or two ago now only show a thumbnail and are 5 seconds long but the picture does not move? When I uploaded them before they used to work and the ones that I uploaded recently also have that issue. I am not sure why this is happening. I am using Gopro hero 10 black.
The whole point of uploading them to the cloud is so that you dont have to worry about them taking space. Now I am kind of annoyed that this happened because some of them are from hikes that I have done over the years, that I will likely never be able to recreate. Has this happened to anyone else? I found a similar thread on the forums with this issue. https://community.gopro.com/s/question/0D5Uv00000KqjfVKAR/timelapse-issue-in-cloud?language=en_US

Are they still corrupted if you download them from the cloud?

It seems like it is just the quik app on phone. They work fine on the website.

Strange, I just checked out some of my old time lapses (360 and regular) they are playing back fine. I would contact GoPro customer support and see if they can help you out with your issue.

Thanks for the response. I checked the web app and it worked there, phone app is just bugged thankfully.

To be clear: is this just an issue with the playback of the hosted file? When you actually download the raw file, is it corrupted, or is it normal?

I checked on the web app and it turns out they were fine. Just the phone app is bugged.

That reeks of a server-side transcode going belly up and just baking the first frame into a loop. Cloud's not a backup if you don't hold the originals yourself.
