Q: How to trim large movie for uploading to YouTube
In my Finder, under All Movies, there is a video I wish to upload to YouTube. However, the original is very large at 1.64 GB (or at least that is what "Get Info" tells me within Finder). I already tried splitting the movie into 4 parts using the Trim feature, but even then each segment is between 300 & 420 MB each!
Is there an easy way to split the entire movie into many parts, with each one being the maximum size accepted by YouTube? I could then title them with Part #'s for uploading to YouTube. Not sure, but I think YouTube has a max of 25 MB per movie upload? So I guess I'll end up with way too many Parts, LOL.
I could delete parts of the film strip, but I'm not familiar with the process and have only ever 'trimmed' the movie from the 'front end' or the 'back end' (yup, I said I'm not an expert). Bottom line: I want to get get the whole movie onto YouTube somehow.
All advice welcome. The movie is already 4 yrs old and I haven't figured this out in order to share with family.
