I took a video that is too long, how to split it into 2 videos or compress it?

I created 3 videos with my that I want to share. They are all over 15 minutes long. All of the sharing sites limit the videos to < 15 minutes so I need to split the videos or compress them. Can you suggest how to do either? I have already downloaded the videos to my PC.


Thanks!

On your iPhone you could trim the videos and create two trimmed copies to split it:



Trim a video. Tap the screen to display the controls, drag either end of the frame viewer, then tap Trim.

Important: If you choose Trim Original, the trimmed frames are permanently deleted from the original video. If you choose Save as New Clip, a new trimmed video clip is saved in your Videos album and the original video is unaffected.


On your PC it will depend on the software you are having there. I don't know what you could use on a Windows PC, but on a Mac you can trim the video in iMovie or on Quicktime Player.
