I have researched online and tried countless variations of render settings to make my videos smaller (under 500MB) but none of them work. This is an issue I am having for videos that are 1 hour long as well as videos that are 7 minutes long. Can anyone help me please?
All of these thing make a epic difference across endless combinations. Obviously H.264 and H.265 codecs are made to produce a higher quality file at lower file sizes than most Quicktime files. 500mb for an hour of high quality footage is not bad at all. How small do your files need to be? Could you give us more information about your media and workflow?
I have an hour long video that is over 66 million KB. I have tried exporting it with a number of different settings to try and get it under 500MB and nothing works. Nothing has even come close. Looking at your list, there are some things I have set up (based on different export suggestions from other sites and youtube video suggestions), but not all of them. I am new to exporting video so I'm not sure what you are asking for with regard to my workflow.
Well I've tried Windows Media and nothing I do there works. I've tried the typical YouTube/Vimeo settings like using the H.264 format and adjusting the various settings under that format and none of those seem to work either.
Thank you shooternz. These are simple videos filmed using your basic camcorder (yep, a little oldschool). There is nothing fancy about them as they are video recordings of a teammate teaching a "class" at work. I would like to upload this video into our Learning Management System (LMS), which is called Brainshark, so that everyone in our organization can view them at any time. However, Brainshark will not allow us to upload a video larger than 500MB. So I am stuck with the arduous task of trying to figure out a way to export it in a way that doesn't lose all the quality but shrinks it down so we can get it into Brainshark.
So 66 million would be 66 gigabytes--seems high for a file. Would the number be 660,000kb (660megabytes) or 66,000kb (66megabytes)? Where are you deliverying this file? Here are some possible settings to get a file size down:
I would definitely try and use H.264 for its small size and universal adoption. Try to reduce the size of your frame as well. Getting your 1hr even around 500mb is considered pretty good. Going below that mark--reduce the bitrate and try to reduce from size--like typing 854 in the width part of your movie. You can try to reduce using these 16:9 frame sizes:
But I too am still having similar issues. I have watched countless Adobe tutorials, read all the articles and tried for hours to get my almost 2 hour video down to 500Mb. I know, 2 hours is asking a lot (it is a classroom module), and I am willing to break it up into several segments, but what is confusing to me is that the original is smaller than the output. The original is 624Mb downloaded from Zoom, after editing 20 minutes or so and exporting the file, at the best I can get it, is 3252Mb. Why does it have to get bigger??!
I use a tool called, "HandBrake" to drop file sizes of rendered videos and it works like a charm. You can barely tell the difference in the video's quality after using, "HandBrake" to optimize the video to smaller file size, and it really reduces the file's weight considerably...
($0?) Arrange your lighting to cast lots of diffuse light on your face, and move away any lights that shine directly into your camera. Lighting makes a bigger difference to image quality than what hardware you use!
Most non-standalone computer microphones, including ones on fancy headsets, sound ear-bleedingly bad. (The 2020 MacBook Pro microphone is okay.) You can sound way more pleasant to your colleagues by getting a nicer one. For instance, compare me reading Edward Lear on the following mics:
The best way to get a sharper image on any camera is to put more light into the sensor. Laptop webcams have terrible image quality, but a laptop webcam with good lighting will look better than a fancy camera with bad lighting:
I briefly tried two apps for using your smartphone as a webcam, Camo and EpocCam. EpocCam is cheaper ($8 vs $40) but seemed somewhat buggier than Camo (both had occasional issues). Both of them have free trials that watermark your video, so suitable for testing but not actual calls.
I feel like maybe we all put a bit too much faith in our equipment and the platform taking care of the issues for us, but we all kind of know that the situation is bad without a lot of focused effort :-p. Thanks for putting in the focused effort.
Any advice on how to mount a camera (like the Sony, Fuji, etc. you mentioned) such that it is above the center of the laptop/monitor? I imagine if it was off to the side it would make for poor eye contact, and if below it would be a very unflattering angle.
Dynamic and condenser microphones can have the same polar patterns (pickup pattern), so that is not inherently why dynamics are better for a typical untreated environment. For example, the industry standard EV RE20 broadcast dynamic microphone has a cardioid polar pattern, the same as many large diaphragm condenser microphones.
One easy way to get a professional look for your video is to use a solid-colored background. A wall, a bedsheet, or a large sheet of backdrop paper are all good options. Make sure your subject stands several feet away from the backdrop to avoid casting shadows on it.
Be careful not to film with a window or another reflective surface in the background of your shot. You could inadvertently catch the camera in the reflection. Besides that, having a light source like a window behind your subject can make the subject look dark and shadowy.
Good video editing software can help you turn your raw footage into something great. There are some simpler tools like Wave.video, Camtasia or iMovie. More professional options include Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro.
Capture clear audio by putting your microphone as close to the subject as possible. You might want to use a pop filter to eliminate blips and crackles on the finished recording. Be aware of any background noise that your microphone might be picking up, too.
If you appear in your professional videos, the way you carry yourself on camera has an enormous impact on how professional your content looks. Appearing nervous, fidgety, or uncomfortable on camera will distract viewers from your message.
Every time you make a video, start by defining its purpose. Ask yourself what you want to achieve or communicate by making this video. In addition, define your target audience. How will you make your video speak to these viewers in particular?

In this tutorial, I will show you how I make my videos and take my photos, what I use in order to make and edit them. This tutorial should provide you with everything you need in order to become successful in Photo and Video making for any business. I will focus on DIY crafts such as crocheting and knitting as well as sewing, but it can work for so many other niches as well.
First of all, I will admit to you that I do NOT have a crafting studio ROOM which means I will show and tell you how I improvise and still be able to do what I want and need to do, even though I do not have an exact designated room for it. I have my Photo and Video Studio in the corner of my master bedroom.
