According to youtube DL this is 10 GB. It is a .webm as far as i know. Maybe it is because of the art look. Could a webm be reduced in size? I saw somone say a webm is only a gif. What does that mean?

It's over an hour and a half long and 4K/2160p. If it's too much, just get a lower resolution version, maybe the 720p. You don't want to shrink the 4K version any more.

If you don't like WEBM, get an MP4 version.

webm is a container (a subset of mkv). The video is encoded with the VP9 codec, roughly the equivalent of h.265 (in terms of efficiency).

How should I know which version you want?

Something like 4K Video Downloader tells you the file sizes as well as all the available resolutions. The 720p MP4 is 540MB.
