Q: 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.

    Video with the frame viewer across the top. The trim button is in the upper-right corner.

    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.
