Hi there! I understand you're having trouble saving the speed drawing (timelapse video) in iArtbook, even though it used to work fine. Let’s get to the bottom of this together.

First, can you tell me more about what exactly happens when you try to save the speed video? For example:
- Does the app show any error message?
- Does it start saving and then fail, or does it not give you the option at all?
- Have you recently updated the app or your iOS version?
- Is there enough free storage on your iPhone?

While waiting for your details, I can suggest some common steps to try fixing this issue:

1. Restart the app: Close iArtbook completely (swipe up from the bottom and swipe the app off the screen) and reopen it.

2. Check storage space: Speed videos, especially timelapses, can be large files. Make sure your iPhone has enough free space in Settings > General > iPhone Storage.

3. Update iArtbook app: Go to the App Store and see if there’s an update available. Updates often fix bugs related to features like exporting videos.

4. Check app permissions: Confirm iArtbook has permission to access Photos and storage. Go to Settings > Privacy > Photos, and ensure iArtbook is allowed to save media.

5. Try exporting a smaller drawing: Sometimes very large or complex files can cause the video export to fail. Test if a smaller or simpler drawing allows the timelapse to save correctly.

If these don’t work, there might be a deeper setting or app glitch involved. Let me know your experience with the above and we can explore advanced fixes or check for any recent known issues with iArtbook’s speed video saving1 4.

Are you able to try these and share what happens? That way I can help guide you from there.

Thanks for the extra info! Since you’re getting an error message specifically when trying to save the speed-up (timelapse) video in iArtbook, this usually points to a few potential issues related to permissions, storage, or app bugs.

Here’s a focused set of steps that many users have found helpful for this particular error:

1. Check Photo Access Permission:
- Go to your iPhone Settings > Privacy > Photos.
- Find iArtbook and make sure it has permission set to "Read and Write." If it’s set to "None" or "Read Only," the app can’t save videos to your Camera Roll.

2. Verify Storage Space:
- Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage.
- Ensure you have enough free space, as timelapse videos can be quite large.

3. Reinstall the App:
- Sometimes app data corruption causes saving errors.
- Press and hold the iArtbook app icon, tap "Delete App," then reinstall it fresh from the App Store.
- Reinstalling can clear up hidden issues without deleting saved artwork if you back it up first by exporting drawings as images or iArtbook files.

4. Create a Test Drawing:
- Open iArtbook and create a simple new drawing with minimal layers.
- Try saving a speed-up video for this new file to see if the problem is specific to a particular drawing or a broader app issue.

5. Update Your iOS and App:
- Make sure your iPhone’s iOS 18.6.2 is up to date.
- Check the App Store for any iArtbook updates that might address this bug.

If the error persists even after these steps, it might be related to a recent bug in iArtbook’s video export feature. You can also try the workaround of exporting the drawing frames manually and stitching them into a video using another app, but that’s more complex.

Can you try these and let me know if the error message changes, or if anything new happens? That way, I can help dig deeper if needed.
