FAQ
- Upload the YouTube video that is too large
- Adjust your video’s resolution and compression settings
- Download and save
- That's it!
If your video files are large, you can compress them using VEED’s video compression tool and convert them to MP4 - the preferred format of YouTube.
It depends on the compression settings that you choose before compressing your video. Naturally, the higher the quality you set, the larger the file would be. However, the MP4 format is a lot smaller than most other video file types. So you can get high quality video at a smaller file size.
At Standard settings, a 10-minute YouTube video can be anywhere from 240MB or higher. If a video is set to High Definition (HD), the approximate file size is 88MB per minute. This will be the file size if you retain the settings when you download the video from YouTube. That’s why it’s best to compress them using VEED platform before saving or uploading them to YouTube

I found VEED at the right time: if you're making UGC ads and not using Eye Contact Correction and Noise Reduction on VEED you're missing out on ROI.
