Hi there
I chipped a tooth in frustration. Please help me with a simple solution to a simple question.
My swim coach took videos of my swimming in the pool, about 10 clips of around 20 - 60 MB each. I need to reduce the sizes to e mail them.
Spent the last half day downloading Wondershare Filmora - after searching of course. It has everything but what I need. I feel this is fraudulent behavior!!! this software can fly me to the moon but cannot reduce the files!!!
(In 1997 I used JPEG reducer for resizing pictures for use on my web site. Now, 20 years later, this is not possible any more.)
Yes I am angry and bitter!!!!
Please advise something simple for a simple mind like mine
Thank you ???

Why not simply post them to a file-sharing site ? ?
-
Sharing them as they are in in file share is better. In order to size them down your going to kill the picture quality -or- frame rate greatly to get it sized down to an e-mailable size. Youtube has ability to upload them and keep them private or by invite as well. I use mainly youtube for sharing videos.
-
And of course there are cloud services like Dropbox instead of emailing.
-
All of the above already helps, thanks. But whatever I do, should not require of the reader/recipient to "open an account and obtain a username and password ...", just to read the files. I myself do not mind going through some initial effort.
So, assuming YouTube then, briefly how do I go about posting it there with private access only, via a simple link on an e mail?
-
Using Dropbox as one example, the person you want to share the video with doesn't have to also be a Dropbox member.
You upload your data, share it out using their email, Dropbox sends them a 'here is a link to a file' message, they click it and pow, they watch your video.
-
If they are too lazy to login to a file sharing site they dont deserve your efforts...
-
Google Drive should lets you generate a link that will take people straight to the file (with a in browser video player and everything) without having to sign in. Most other cloud storage providers should allow something like this too. Alternatively, you can upload the videos to somewhere like YouTube and set them to "Unlisted" - They won't appear in any sort of search results but will work fine if you send people the link.
