My videos are too big for facebook. :(

[john1967]

if i want to upload a video from my computer to facebook without making it a youtube video first, how do i do that without it saying too big.

I hope this is in the right section and i worded it okay.

I am using premiere elements 11 and windows 7, 64 bit.

if i have left any important information out please let me know and thanks again.

Direct from Facebook:
The easiest way to optimize the quality of your videos is to upload HD video.

If you're exporting your video from editing software (ex: Final Cut Pro, Avid, iMovie) we recommend these custom settings:

H.264 video with AAC audio in MOV or MP4 format
An aspect ratio no larger than 1280px wide and divisible by 16px
A frame rate at, or below, 30fps
Stereo audio with a sample rate of 44,100hz

Your software's guide should include information about exporting video with custom settings.

Keep in mind that videos must be less than 40 minutes long. The longer your video is, the larger its file size will be. This may affect the quality of the video.

Too big as in dimensions or too big as in megabytes or too big as in running time? What format is the video?

Ignore

Hi ,

What I have read : your video must be lower than 40mn .

Cheers .

My video is 25 seconds long and 25.7 megabits.

i would hate to share a 3 minute video or try to.

this video is silent but i want to add music to it and that should only increase the megabits.

thanks for your help.

Umm......

What format is the video?

[Baldrick]

Lower the video bitrate? Lower the quality settings?

Use mediainfo(view->text) to get all details from your video and post it.

Maybe compress/convert it with a special software, like Format Factory for example.

[john1967]

But, what is the solution you use?

My solution i guess is to make a youtube video and share that way. Thanks all for your respondings and have a nice day.

Oh, ok. Yeah, I think that youtube re-encode or compress a video when someone upload it

So what? You still can get decent quality off YouTube.
