Why is xbox series x deleting my captured videos after 1 day!?

Xbox series x. There is so much documentation about this issue, no-one has a solution (apart from streaming on twitch, saving the vod and then editing the video). Compared with my xbox one captures, taken well over a year ago, they are awful, choppy, stuttering messes. This is not a problem on my end, this is a problem with the xbox series x capture system. The fact captures are STILL terrible is a joke, given the series x was released over 18 months ago.

After 90 days, captures are deleted from the Xbox network. It actually states this on the captures app. In the future, if you have a screenshot or video capture you want to keep, it is always a good idea to make a backup of them asap.

Hi,

I thought about that too and deleted all captures (photos and videos) on my Xbox One X. It did not solve the problem.

Hi,

No sorry, it's not possible. Only the Xbox One and Series X|S can capture pictures and videos directly via the console.

I have had screenshots and video (which is laggy/stuttering) deleted off of my Series X internal drive as well as on Xbox live. It’s utterly broken and appalling that a software company has messed up the software on their flagship console so badly and have yet to rectify the issue for over 9 months.

It auto deletes. Why though - it’s my drive and my content, I gave no permission to delete my content.

Why can I not transfer my captures from internal to external?

Why can I not upload to Xbox live if using an external drive?

60 measly seconds for 4K, 1 paltry minute for 1080p, three meager & blurry minutes for 720p. It’s laughable. My PS4 allowed me to record an hour of PREVIOUSLY played footage. Perfect for capturing long sweaty sessions in R6 or Hunt:Showdown, not the rubbish ‘record from now’ you get with an external drive.

All clips are dull, soulless garbage anyway due to the lack of party chat sucking all the human element and nuance. Again something the competition we’re doing on inferior hardware years ago.

No basic video editor to patch clips and screens together and make semi-pro content. Again something the PS4 has been doing for years with Share Factory. What on earth are MS playing at? Do they seriously expect me to be uploading dozens of 3 minute videos to YouTube in 720p every time I have a good game/match?

No ability to rotate or crop screenshots. In 2021!

I’ve enjoyed my Series X immensely, but the capture and DVR problems and just general lack of options really, really sours the experience for me, especially as I’m coming from older hardware that is far more capable in this regard.
