If your videos appear green and purple when you add them to Movavi Clips or after saving them, this usually indicates a compatibility issue between the app and the video codec on your device.
Why This Happens
This issue is most common on Samsung devices but can occasionally occur on other Android phones like Google Pixel. It happens because some video files use encoding that is not fully compatible with certain devices.
This is not a problem with your video files themselves, but with how the device's system reads and displays them in the app.
How to Fix It
The issue can be resolved by converting the video to a different format. Converting changes the video codec to one that works properly with Movavi Clips.
Option 1: Send Videos via Messengers
Sending videos through certain messengers automatically converts them to a compatible format:
Send the video to yourself (or a friend) via a messenger.
Download the video back to your phone from the messenger.
Try adding the downloaded video to your Movavi Clips project.
This method works because these messengers automatically change the video codec during transfer.
Option 2: Use a Video Converter
You can convert the video using a third-party converter:
Go to Movavi Video Converter (free online tool).
Upload your video and convert it to a standard format like MP4.
Download the converted video to your phone.
Add it to your Movavi Clips project.
You can also use other video converter apps or services you prefer.
What to Expect
After conversion, the video should appear normal in Movavi Clips without the green and purple colors. The original video file remains unchanged on your device.
