I would like to suggest a removal of the 30 second time limit on recording clips. Instead keep the 250 min max recording space we currently have allotted (500 x 30 second clips = 250 minutes) but allow the player to adjust the timing, even if by set intervals... 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 mintues, etc...
This will allow much more flexibility with content creation, and should not impact overall resources allotted to each user account.
Hello @Tryde
I would love to see more flexibility here as well, but just FYI, what you're asking for isn't all that easy. Since the clips are from the past, not the future, in order to generate them, they currently have to keep the last 30 seconds of game play audio and video in a buffer. When you save a clip, they take the contents of that buffer and save it as a clip. But, since game play continues on, they have to be able to get that buffer saved out quickly to make room for more new audio and video coming in. In order to make the clips longer, that buffer would have to be bigger (and if it's uncompressed video – which I strongly suspect is the case – it's already a substantial amount of memory). Worse yet, making this configurable for each user would require supporting different buffer sizes for different users. So, from an engineering perspective, while I think this is possible, I also think it's relatively difficult. I will hope to be surprised one day by seeing it supported. In the mean time, use the feedback feature in the app to let Google know you want to see this prioritized. If enough people ask for it, they may work on it.
