Reduce the size of a .mp4 file

I have a 5-7 minute training video series I provided on YouTube and to download. The videos include footage in any audio live and image overlay. I did not put in place video effects or major transitions, other than "chained."

I export to mp4/H.264 codec, bitrate size reducers and the framework (although I understand that this shouldn't matter as well), but I always end up with 250-300 MB files. While I am able to download on YouTube, I'm not able to provide these files to download because they are seen as too big.

My question is if there are additional actions, that I can take to provide a reduced file size. I can't find a consistent answer as to what the size of my file should be for these short videos.

I go back to school to learn more about the video soon, but this is obviously not a sufficient response to a client.

No indication on this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thank you, in advance!

250 MB seems very reasonable for 5-7 minutes of full HD 1080 p.

With a variable bitrate H264, an important part of the size of the file depends on the dynamics of the video. So if the video has a lot of movement of the camera, move items from background (ie. stir the leaves in a tree), scene changes, quick cuts, shaky camera and grainy footage it will increase the size of the file. For example, shooting a scene on a tripod vs Pocket could give you a much smaller file. This happens because H264 (like most mpeg encoders) using information from the frames/pixels neighbors during the process of encoding... and the more information changes, the more bits is needed.

in any case, try a really low bitrate as 2 5 average 5 average 8 max for 1080 p and 720 p max. Then check to see if she still looks good visually (without obvious compression artifacts).

Personally, I use a x 264 based encoder H264 as hand brake (which is free) value constant quality 23.

  • How to reduce the size of a PDF file without loss of sharp graphics

    Hi, I work in Acrobat X Pro.  I have combined a graphics file and need to reduce the size.  Original graphics were created in PScs6 and recorded in the form of .jpg.  What would be the best way to reduce the size of the PDF file and while now the clarity of graphics?  Advice would be appreciated.

    When you deal with graphics, you're talking almost always reduce the resolution or color depth. Much depends on the graphics themselves. You might check one of the graphs and see what are the colors and resolution. The setting of 300 dpi is fine in most cases, unless you are wanting people to zoom. For many applications, a color depth of 256 is good rather than millions of colors. If these are acceptable options, remember that your graphics card is defined in this way. You can try the option optimize to see if you can improve the size and still have sufficient resolution (file > save as > optimize PDF).

  • Reduce the size of this logo files

    Hello world

    recently I moved to a new job and I'm just working through all design bits and bobs, bring up to a decent standard.

    I have a problem with the logo... it's a painful 146 mb! I tried all sorts of my knowledge to try to get the file to a respectable size of logo. Shaded many elements making it quite complex, but I suspect that something can be done. I did the usual to try to get the size of the file, for example. State edges, reduce points etc.

    Could someone take a look at this please?

    Thanks in advance

    I did this form with two gradients and zero effects. 200 of them on-screen, crushed to various and combined degrees with your logo, is equivalent to about 2 MB.

  • ImageIO reduced the size of my photo file?

    Hello

    I used the code below in an attempt to write an image file in the DB
    BufferedImage originalImage = ImageIO.read (new File("c:\\test.jpg"));)
    ByteArrayOutputStream Baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    ImageIO.write (originalImage, "jpg", baos);
    Baos.Flush ();
    Byte [] fileBytes = baos.toByteArray ();

    Save fileBytes DB if the column accepts the value of type BLOB.

    I used the code below in an attempt to read from the database and write to the file system.
    Bais ByteArrayInputStream = getFileBytesFromDB();
    The BufferedImage = ImageIO.read (bais);
    ImageIO.write (consulterles, "jpg", new File("c:\\test1.jpg"));)

    I noticed that the resulting file size has been reduced by almost half after writing to the file system. Anyone know why?
    :)

    As he says, do not use ImageIO. It's re-encoding JPEG format which is morphing your data. Just copy it in the form of bytes using input and output streams. Much faster, too.

    How can I reduce the size of TIFF picture files below 20 MB

    Export to JPEG

    Or of cultures

    or export with smaller dimensions in pixels

    The reason why you use a TR TIFF not compressed, so there is no loss of data - so it is very broad - must either compressed (JPEG format for example) where there are some (very minor I you use low compression - high quality) or delete some data in order to reduce its size

  • The difficulty in reducing the size of the eps file.  He is currently a huge 707MB!

    Hello...

    I can't reduce the size of an eps file.  He is currently a huge 707MB!  It is a fairly simple logo of the text (which were described) and a form, both filled with a pattern "leaf" gold. I guess this is the reason (from my color chart) which causes the problem.

    My client wants the eps file and I feel I have tried everything to reduce the size I could try to find out through various forums.

    Hoping that someone might have a new suggestion and any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance

    Hi yodonna,

    Adobe Reader does not reduce the size of a PDF file, such as Acrobat. But, you can download this file to your Acrobat.com account and create an anonymous link using Adobe send. Then you can send this link by e-mail. You can access Adobe send to https://cloud.acrobat.com/send. Create an anonymous link function does not require that you have an Adobe membership send.

  • The challenge to reduce the size of the PDF file export

    Hi, I recently spent from Quark to InDesign and can't find out how to reduce the size of a PDF file export.

    The file has about 200 pages with about 300 files EPS, which are about 30-40K each. The file uses less than 10 fonts, all from two families of fonts (Bembo Std and Std universe). When I created a similar to Quark file, the exported PDF file is ~ 5MG. However, when I export the file in InDesign, I created, the PDF file is 10xs more large (~ 50MG). I tried to export using the parameters of quality of printing and smaller file size, but the result was the same. (I think it's because there is no images to be compressed JPG, just files that are already tiny vector).

    If you have any suggestions for other settings check, I would be grateful for the help. Overall, other than this issue, I was very happy with InDesign.

    I'm using CS5, v 7.0.4 on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard 10.6.8)

    Thank you

    It has a pretty cool thing here by using the flattener to convert vector to raster graphics.

    If you need help then just ask.

    If it's just for people online, then the vector graphics could be better as raster for online application.

  • How can I reduce the size of a file of numbers?

    I have a file that is too big to 650 MB. It is mostly text. I found 1 sheet which is "inflated".  I tried to copy/paste the columns in a new file, but it ends with lines and additional columns that I copied! It seems to me that if I could have something in layers? How can I reduce the size of the file.

    If it's really just the text that seems really strange.  I repeat what you have already done, copy items to a tim in a new file, and then save after each copy and monitor the size of files.  When you see the file size jump exceptionally fast, do NOT save the new file, and focus on the issue.  What are the benefits?  You paste images into a table as a background fill?

    Export images of Photos first. This will create copies, leaving the originals in Photos. Then use Preview to resize them.
