My video is too big to upload. How can I submit my video?
If your video is too big to submit or it takes too long to upload you may need to do the following steps:
- Try changing the quality of the video to something lower on your phone. You can set it to Full HD (FHD) and even 30 Frames Per Seconds (FPS) is fine for submission. This way it will take less space on your phone and you can upload it faster.
- If you have already recorded the video and cant do a re-shoot of the video, you can compress it using this FREE software called HandBrake: https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php
- For macOS users you can download it from HERE.
- Download HandBrake and install it on your computer.
- Once the program is installed, open the program and drop your file into the box as shown.
- In the next window, please select your preset as (Very Fast 1080p 30) , make sure that the format is MP4 and check where it is going to save the video.
Once they are all done click on “Start Encode”.
It will take a while (Depending on the file size and your computer’s performance), but once its finished, you can upload the new file to the assessment question.
