Reducing Size Of Video

[Giggsie]

Trying to send short video by email but says too large. Can I reduce to send if so how?

[VHG]

Don't email a video to someone, it can take ages to upload from your system, then it may be too large for the other persons email system.

Put it on YouTube or Facebook or similar sharing site.

Ah thanks VHG did wonder about that.

It's possible to compress videos (with a smaller screen size and/or a loss in quality) but it's far easier to use a file transfer service. There are lots of different ones but they usually allow you to transfer files of up to, say, 2Gb for free but require payment for larger file sizes.

MyAirBridge.com offers a whacking 20Gb maximum size for free though. You simply upload your file and get a link to it. You then email that link to the recipient, so that he can download it. (The link expires after a couple of days though, so he needs to be fairly quick):

Alternatively you can do what I do and open a free email account with GMX:

(You don't have to use it for email though, if you don't want to!)
That gives you 2Gb of free online storage space which you can use, for example, to back up your files. However you can also choose to make any of those files 'public' by sending a link to them to anyone that you want to share a file with.
