Videos get compressed when moving from Photos to Files app (iPad)
I’ve noticed that videos from my camera (4k30, at 100Mbps) end up taking roughly a quarter of original storage when I drag them from Photos to the Files app. (For example a 65MB video ends up being 14MB, with a significant loss of quality and compression artifacts).
This compressed size is the same in these 3 cases:
a) Moving the video (drag and drop, or share menu) from Photos to Files
b) opening the video in iMovie and exporting it to Files app
c) *sending the video via AirDrop
*although with AirDrop, there is a setting to share “All photos data” - with that selected, the 65MB video ends up being 65MB on the device I send it to.
Is there a way to move these videos to Files app without the compression (“All photos data” does’t help here)?
