Jan 27, 2015 8:28 AM in response to mark norfolkby Studio X,Three ways to make a smaller file (with the assumption you are using H.264 as the codec)
1. Lower the bit rate (image may degrade as there are less bits to carry the subtle image information - do a test to see what's acceptable)
2. reduce the image size (smaller images need less bits to carry the same color subtlety - you will also need to reduce bit rate as well - no use shrinking the image and keeping the same high bit rate - you may see marginal file size reduction)
3. reduce length (less to encode...)
Alternatively, start the upload just before you go to bed. Get a good night's sleep and the file should be at it's destination by the time you wake up.
