Hi! This is the best camera app for video that I found :)
But in 5.0 lollipop there is a new thing that is needed for being able to
write to external sd cards.
Basically through googling I found this info:
With lolliepop, the "write to sdcard" permission has to be requested.
Meaning that apps that wish to write to the sdcard must have the request in
themselvs. Android does not just give access to the sd anymore. So why you
were able to do it on mx player before, it sounds like with it already
being installed it bypassed the need for permission to access the sd. So.
Bottom line. All android apps will not be freely given access to the sd
card, but must be updated to request access.
Are there any plans to update OpenCamera with this functionality? It would
make it even better, especially on the new phones.
Best,
Björn

Thanks for the info, this is on my todo to support (hopefully soonish, currently I'm working on support for the Camera2 API introduced in Android 5).
