Activity Forums Compression Techniques Compressing 7gb video

  • Compressing 7gb video

    Hi I usual use compressor after exporting from fcp apple pro res to upload onto vimeo. However I have a 7gb video which when using compressor (with correct vimeo setting) becomes 372 mb but needs to be 300 mbs to upload – what can I do to get it to 300mbs? Should I export from fcp differently? Thanks

    Vimeo free accepts up to 500mb.
    I guess you’ve used some of your weekly space.

    Files Size = Data Rate x Duration.
    Having a bit rate calculator will help you do the match.
