Post by: cookiecdcmk on November 30, 2020, 10:46:40 AM

What is the easiest way to reduce an mp4 file size, so that I can post it?

Most picture and video apps will allow you to reduce size of the file before saving it, I use pixlr.

I have tried several apps that reduce the file size, but I cannot get down to the 512 kb limit.  I have an mp4 file which is 4833 kb.  Does anyone have a suggestion or am I out of luck?

I use Photo Filtre 7.2   http://www.photofiltre-studio.com/pf7-en.htm        I use this all the time and it's free   I set pictures to 800X600 with little to no problem

You can upload it to You Tube or Vimeo and than link it to the forum.

When I tried the link it downloaded to my computer, when I tried to open it I was prompted to log in to Vimeo which I don't have an account.  Maybe try YouTube?
