Compressing a video on Apple computers Mac OS(X)

If you are using windows, go here.

If the video is a file stored on your harddisk, the easiest way to make it smaller is by exporting it from QuickTime (see screenshots below).

If you really have a very slow connection, it can be worthwhile to compress the video using the application HandBrake, which will result in a very small filesize without loss of quality. Full instructions about Handbrake are here.

If the video is just a file saved to your disk, click here.

 

Now choose File -> Export As -> 720p

In Photos (nl: Foto's), select the video from the gallery:

Store it somewhere on your disk.

Converting will take a few minutes and some power, so you may want to connect you computer to a power source.

Then proceed to step 3.

Then open the menu file, choose export, export 1 Video:

Choose 720p and click Export:

That's all, go to step 3.

If you have synced the video from your phone to your Photos app, click here.
