Research direction
The payload names no files, so start by searching the Kotlin Android sources for where captured videos are written and where the save-location setting is read. The issue proposes a toggle that, when on, asks for a separate video folder, with the current merged behaviour kept as the default. Done means that toggle exists, videos go to the chosen folder, and photos are unchanged. Confirm the design with a maintainer first, since no one has replied in 548 days.

Feature description
An option to save videos taken with Camera to a separate location than photos
Why do you want this feature?
I often find myself moving videos from a pictures folder to a video folder just because there isn't the option to save them separately. It would be very useful and save a lot of time.
Additional information
What I consider "the best approach" would be a toggle like "Save videos separately from photos" and only when that's enabled the user is asked to provide a location to save videos. Otherwise just keep functionality like it is now with the merged save location.
