REDUCE A VIDEO’S FILE SIZE? I suggest using VLC because it is a free open source software that is valuable video player and can also convert video files. To reduce the size: -In VLC, go in Media > Convert / Save. -Press the Add button and browse to your source video. -Hit the Convert/Save button. -Choose a Profile that you think works for you. -Click the Browse button beside Destination file. CAREFUL! You are initially suggested the same filename as the source video. I suggest you give it a different name. Simply add “new” to the front of the file name for now. This way, you will not overwrite your initial video. -Hit Start. This link has other suggestions as well: https://www.uscreen.tv/blog/5-ways-to-make-video-files-smaller/ |
