Reduce file size of a .mov file 10fold

I made a > 1 hr movie with my iPhone. The size is ca. 6 GB. I want to send it to several friends via WeTransfer, so the size has to be < 2 GB. How can I do that?

Hi,


Export your project to email, where you will have size choices from the resolution drop down menu.



Chose your size and click on the Share button in the lower right corner. Your email message template will pop up with the movie in the body of the message at the size that you selected. Don't send the email, but instead drag the movie out of the email message onto your desktop. Then you can upload the smaller sized movie wherever you want. The smaller the size, the fewer GB.
