What is a lrv file?

A .lrv file is a type of file used by GoPro cameras to store low-resolution versions of videos recorded in high definition. These low-resolution videos are often used for quickly previewing footage before editing or sharing, as they can be easier to play back on a computer or mobile device.

LRV files are typically created automatically by GoPro cameras when recording video in a high-definition format such as 4K or 1080p. They are saved in the same folder as the original high-definition video file and have the same file name, but with the .lrv file extension appended to it.

LRV files can be played back using standard media player software, but they are not meant to be a final version of the video. Instead, they are meant to be temporary files that allow users to quickly review footage and make adjustments before exporting the final video in high definition.

Overall, .lrv files are a useful feature of GoPro cameras that help streamline the video editing process and make it easier for users to work with high-resolution footage.
