Save video preview only loads small videos

I love the potential of the video preview, but after recording a larger area the save window doesn't seem to load the preview.

It seems to happen for both mp4 and gif. Other settings:

Unsurprisingly it also happens when I record the whole screen.

When this happens I notice the UI is also impacted, it still switches the cursor to text cursor for example, but I can't select parts of the file name. I can still click the cancel button, but no down state is shown.

Can you try it now with HiDPI fix? Or do you mean small by the length?

[peteruithoven]

I'm afraid the issue remains with the HiDPI fix. It works great when I record a longer video with small dimensions, but when recording a larger area I run into the issue.

[Mohelm97]

Not sure why is this happing, I will try to install a virtual machine with HiDPI to test it, as on my normal resolution it works fine.

[Mohelm97]

Wooh :D Not sure but I think now it should work, I've used ClutterGst instead of direct gstreamer.

Works like a dream now! It's such an improvement to get an immediate preview of a recording you want to save as a gif.
