hey what's up guides Marcus Brownlee here from mkbhd and today we have another freeware tutorial for you guys and this one is going to be about compressing videos compressing any video format to be much much smaller file size you might have noticed that if you're not a youtube partner you have a maximum video upload length to YouTube of 10 minutes and a maximum file size of 1 gig and recently I had a video an unboxing video actually that went up to 1.3 7 gigs when I produced it in 1280 by 720 HD so yeah we had a little problem we had to uh I was looking around for ways to actually upload this video and I thought it compressor so now I'm gonna show it to you guys this one is it's available at the link in the description DVD video soft calm and a number of things after that URL but you can see there's basically a free studio of different software utilities and they're all freeware and if we scroll down here we'll see there's um not only YouTube downloaded and uploaders but the one we're gonna we're interested in here is free videos to Flash converter for point one point three and this is actually the latest version at the time that I'm making the video but go ahead and get the latest version so we're just going to do is click on it and it'll take us to a download link and you're gonna hit that download button only ten point six megabytes and now I'm going to show you guys once you've downloaded and installed it which is fairly simple how to how to actually compress the video so here we get we're gonna open up this piece of software here I have it in a shortcut we're going to double click it and it actually opens up the studio menu now I didn't download all 20 pieces of freeware I only downloaded the youtube to mp3 converter and the free video to flash converter which is what we're going to use so go ahead and click on the video to flash converter and it'll open up and here's the the interface of it so it's very simple interface we have the input files the output folder and the format's so I'm just going to browse for a file that we want to upload or even if it's not one gigabyte we're going to look for a file that's really big that take a long time to upload we want to just shorten that time that upload time so here we go we'll find a file here this this mattias unboxing which actually I have not uploaded yet is 0.98 gigs so it's really really close to one gigabyte and I don't want to be running that risk so I'm just gonna open up that file this video file it's a dot MOV file and yes this does work for MOV mp4 etc and what we're going to do is choose our output folder and I'm gonna save it to the desktop in the mkbhd folder hit OK and we're going to use the FLV format the FLV format will upload to youtube and we'll be actually processed most much faster because that's what YouTube uses YouTube's processes videos to turn them all into FLV format so if you're uploading an FLV video it won't take quite as long to process and then when we go to presets we're gonna go all the way down to the highest ultra high land Wi-Fi bandwidth so you can go either very higher ultra high if your videos are really really high like 30 40 gigs you can go from high to hot to very high bandwidth so I'm gonna choose ultra high here and go to edit and since we want to preserve this this HD HD uploading to YouTube we're going to change the dimensions to 1280 by 720 and we're also going to change the frame rate to our highest 30 frames per second for a smooth smooth video so we have stereo audio pretty much pretty much the highest bitrate you need 1280 by 720 we're gonna hit okay and this is where the magic happens you know the video is beginning to process or not to process but to actually be compressed and converted into the flash format all you got to do is hit this convert button convert so here it goes the file conversion obviously isn't the fastest in the world since it is a pretty large file but I'll come back to you guys after the conversion is done and we're just going to speed it up here by going to high priority so here we go alright guys we're back and it says the processing is complete and the conversion was completed successfully ok so what this means is that the the FLV file is now in the the output folder which we've chosen which is on our desktop in that folder so let's exit out of uh exit out of the converter here and go to that exact folder and here it is we see a whole lot of files and most of these are not necessary so I'm going to delete them the only one you want to keep is the FLV file so I'm just gonna erase the rest of these and we're going to keep this FLV file so here's the original dot MOV file you can see down at the bottom here this is 0.98 gigabytes just about up to the limit for the largest file size you can upload to YouTube now let's click on the FLV file and look down here sixty eight point seven megabytes and it's still HD quality video will be uploaded to YouTube in a matter of seconds and it's all about a matter of putting in the description fast enough before the video is uploaded so yeah if you do have a video or two that are just way too big for YouTube and you need to compress them down to a more realistic file size then I do recommend this piece of freeware again available at the link in the description if you want to go check it out anyway this has
