Selfie camera behavior when recording video in Director View

[Members_FJEGK5j]

Hello 

I've noticed that the selfie camera video won't flip when recording video in Director View, even when "Save selfies as previewed" is turned off and choosing to save Director View videos into separate A-B files.

I wasn't expecting it to flip when recording Director View into just one video because the selfie is embedded and flipping would probably flip both views/videos, but I think the expected and logical behavior of the settings chosen would flip the selfie video when Director View is recording into separate files and "Save selfies as previewed" is turned off!

Is this a general Director View behavior; a bug in my phone (S23 on Android 14); or are there any other phones where Director View actually flips the selfie camera video after recording?...

Selfie camera in mirror mode is natural when recording, but I like final videos to be representative of the real world.

Otherwise "Save selfies as previewed" works as expected in all other modes whether it's turned on or off, it's just in Director View that "Save selfies as previewed" doesn't have any effect on the selfie camera!!

It seems like you're running into a bit of a hiccup with Director View on your S23. When recording in this mode, it doesn’t flip the selfie video the way you'd expect, even if "Save selfies as previewed" is off. This might be due to how Director View handles the front and rear camera videos separately, which can sometimes override that setting. It’s not necessarily a bug, but more of a quirk in the feature's design. It’s possible Samsung could improve this in a future update, but for now, using a video editor to flip the selfie footage might be the easiest workaround. If it’s something that’s really important to you, you could always send feedback to Samsung—they do take user suggestions seriously!

Yes, Director View seems to be overriding the "Save selfies as previewed" option, because when I'm in Director View and go into options, the "Save selfies as previewed" option is grayed out but locked to "on", even if I disabled it in other Photo and Video modes!

And it's not that it's something really important, but e.g. I don't want my car driving Director View videos make it look like I'm driving in the UK in right-hand drive (wrong side drive?) when I don't even live there!!

And, yes I can flip it in post video editing, but it's another extra step on what seems to be the only odd inconsistency with "Save selfies as previewed" option!!!...
