you are working with App Inventor since a long time and you are still putting blocks randomly together

obviously you should do everything in the right order, i.e. first start recorrding, then rename the recorded file
after recording it does not make sense to set the clip parameter to something else

also there is a documentation, which explains all the blocks as well there are toolstips, just hover a block to get its description

https://ai2-appinventor-mit-edu.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/reference/components/media.html#Camcorder

and concerning the file extension, if you use a async procedure, you have to continue the processing in its corresponding event... I explained that already to you, unfortunately you forgot about it again...

FileListAsync -> AfterFIleListAsync

yes, also the file extension does have a documentation App Inventor Extensions: File | Pura Vida Apps

You can't manipulate clip like this, clip is read only

See here

I searched the community a bit for you
See for example

Save a video to a named phone directory

These blocks take the saved video and copy it to the ASD [image] Screen1. designer Filescope set to Legacy Taifun's File Extension used to convert the contentUri to a file path You know how to upload a file (as Blob) to a mySql database...... Be aware that the camcorder appears to record at 1mb per second, so file sizes will be quite big for longer videos.

i am using your guide but i get this error

[Taifun]

read the error message... that path does not really make sense...

use Do it to debug your blocks...
what is the value of Label1.Text?

Taifun

[CanalDTodoUnPoco_PC]

in the image example use label text

[Taifun]

In case you fo not know, what you were doing:
You copied your video to ASD
It's name is keyb.mp4
