InShot Video Not Showing in Gallery (Android)
Workaround available Android Updated October 21, 2026
Quick answer
If InShot says it saved but the Gallery doesn't show it, the file is often on an SD card or hasn't been indexed yet. Check with a file manager and save to internal storage.
Most likely fix: Find the file with a file manager.
Symptoms
Save completes, but the video isn't in Gallery or Google Photos.
Why it happens
- Save location on an SD card (Android hides some external-storage videos from Gallery)
- Media scanner hasn't indexed the new file
- Save actually failed due to low storage
- Missing storage/media permission
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Find the file with a file manager
- Open Files and look in Movies or an InShot folder
- Sort by date to find the newest video
2. Save to internal storage
- Switch InShot's save location to internal storage if it points to an SD card
- Export again
3. Restart the phone
- A restart lets the media scanner pick up new files
4. Check permissions and space
- Settings > Apps > InShot > Permissions > allow Photos and videos
- Free about 3x the video size and save again
