What are the best tools to reduce video size using my MacBook Pro?

I have been struggling with sharing some video via Messenger and Jira because the file is a bit larger than allowed. I wonder is there a way to help me easily reduce the size of these videos?

Quicktime won't play files bigger than 4GB. I have transferred GoPro JPG and MP4 files onto a SSD. I am viewing the MP4 files on Quicktime on a Macbook Air with software up to date software Sonoma 14.7.6 All are viewable except the files over 4GB. The ones that are over that size all say they are 4.79GB which I believe to understate the size of those files. The codec must be right because all of the other MP4 files from the same GoPro play on Quicktime. Is there a video player preferably free that will play MP4 files over that size? If not, how do I reduce the file size so that I can play them without losing quality. Eg can I shorten the files into shorter segments under 4GB either on the GoPro or some other way on my Macbook Air?
