Help - I Have Problems in Sending/Emailing/Sharing/Transferring Large Video Files

Large Video File

- When I was trying to send a video file as an email attachment from the media library on my iPhone X, it says "too long to be sent". Do I need to cut the length or reduce the video size?

- I wanted to copy a large video file (4GB) to my external flash drive that is 8GB that seemed to have enough free space. But when it came to time to copy it I got an error message by Windows "too large for the destination file system", and the transfer filed.

- It becomes a headache when it comes to sending a video file that I recorded with my Android phone via WhatsApp, since WhatsApp has a file size limit of 16MB for videos, music and images as well.

- My video is too big to share to YouTube. What can I do?

If your video file is huge, it will take a very long time to attach to an email or message. Even worse, email provider, WhatsApp, YouTube and the like have set limits on video length or file size, and only allow you to send or share only very short videos.

If you have one or more of the following issues:

Can't email large video files
Can't transfer large video files<

Can't send large video files
Can't share large video files

all you need is an awesome large video file converter or a video size compressor.

* Winxvideo AI supports 370+ video and audio codecs and supports batch converting.

Since HEVC promises a 50% file size reduction at a given video quality, we suggest choose it as the codec for output.

Step 3. Lower the resolution.
In settings section, click on the drop-down button of Resolution under Video Options, choose a resolution that is lower than your original video file.

Note: Reducing resolution may cause some quality degradation. If you are a quality pursuer, ignore this step.

The higher the bit rate is, the larger the video size will be. So you can adjust bit rate to a certain range to reduce file size without noticeable quality difference.

Click Settings button and choose a lower bit rate.

Step 5. Trim / Cut the large video file.
If the original video is too lengthy, you can cut down to make it shorter.

Click Edit button -> Trim -> Enable Trim -> Set Start Time and End Time to cut some part -> Done

Step 6. Turn on hardware acceleration.
The playback, editing and sharing a high resolution video may be taxing to your computer hardware. So it is important to enable your hardware for real time playback of larger size video file.
