Downloaded videos onto iPhone become distorted
Hi. I have videos that play correctly in Dropbox. When I save them to my iPhone, they become distorted. I have other videos that I can download with no problems. I am using PowerDirector for media cr...
Hi CoachMu, you should have a camera-like icon, that'll allow you to attach any screenshots back to me, here in the Community.
Also, can you clarify the version of the OS you're using on your iPhone, and the version of the Dropbox app?
If I were you, I'd also try to use the browser on my phone, and download from there, just to check if the same thing happens then.

Dropbox StaffHi CoachMu, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Could you clarify exactly what you mean by distorted?
Is the size different, the colors, the audio, or something else?
Is this occurring for all videos, or only those created via that program?
Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!
Jay,
Good morning! Thanks for your reply. On my iPhone, the media audio and video work normally. When I import the file into PowerDirector, the audio gets garbled and slows down. I pull media from Dropbox all the time and only a small number of files (all from the same recording session) are this way.

Sorry to jump in here, CoachMu.
Do you see the same behavior, when you download these files from dropbox.com using a computer?
- I only have the video editing app on my iPhone; I’ve been creating videos for years that way. I can try downloading it that way and see what happens. Thank you for your response!

No problem! Do keep us updated on what happens, please.
Thanks!
- I attempted to download files onto my PC with mixed results. Some worked and others failed. Wondering if the files are corrupted.
