10gb Video Clip - Only Plays 9 seconds

PostWed Mar 19, 2025 6:23 am

I did a multiple interview shoot with my iphone 15 pro and the blackmagic cam app. I recorded to an external hdd.

The last interview i did was about 30mins and the file size is 10gb.

When i transferred all of the clips from the hard drive to my PC - imported them into Adobe Premiere ALL of the clips played in entirety.

The 30min clip however, only plays the first 9 seconds even though the file size is 10gb.

So i tried various ways of troubleshooting such as uploading the clip to google drive and to icloud from my phone and then tried to download it onto my PC - but still only get a 10gb file with 9 seconds.

BUT THEN - i saved the clip to my iphone 15 pro in the photo/video app and I am able to view the ENTIRE CLIP.

I recorded in rec709 - log - HVEC.

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP me understand why i can view the entire clip on my phone but all of the other methods i have tried won't allow me access to the full clip on my pc in adobe premiere?

One thing i haven't done is tried to import the clip into Davinci - could that be the issue?

I just don't understand why all of my other clips have no issues but this one clip does.

** I will say that when this interview was finished (since it was my last interview) I did not stop the recording as i chit-chatted with the person i was interviewing. When i came back to my phone there was a notice on the blackmagic cam app that i had run out of storage.

I wonder if that could be the reason? But like i said, I AM ABLE to view the whole clip on my phone.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated as my deadline is approaching and i am unable to edit down this clip.

Thank you in advance.

It sounds like a potential issue with closing the recording when the storage became full.
See if Resolve can open it.
