CAPTAIN MARIGOLD Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I just did my 1st video/music mix at 1:36:00 length. Am exporting at the usual settings i.e. 1080 for HD vid , constant 30 fps, in mp4 format, and uploading on my PC Pictures folder. My main program has over 150gb available; or enough to hold at least 40 or so projects like this one...**The issue is that the export page is telling me I need 879.76gb for this size project to upload. What am I doing wrong? I fooled around on that page for over an hour and didn't make much headway. This should not take more than around 3gb's for this project. (am on the 'tube' as Captain Marigold and have been uploading since 2011 - the new site since 2020) Video pad is my new go to, I hope, for these projects...after I was finally dumped from Movie Maker. I do not care for the new version, at all. I don't need or want bells & whistles (toys) SO, HELP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 The export size estimate is historically inaccurate. Do the deed and see what results. Various quality settings can be selected from the drop-down export menu or input your own. Click the blue Default Quality/Filesize link. If export is excessive, please share the project. Someone will see what they get. The process is easy, quick and can be private. Follow these steps... Back up --- With your project on the timeline, click on MENU at the top-left. Click FILE|BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO FOLDER. Choose a folder and SELECT FOLDER. Upload --- Use a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* - to upload the saved, numbered FOLDER. Do NOT upload the individual VPJ or export file. Get link --- Get a public link. If using Google Drive click GET SHAREABLE LINK. If necessary change "restricted" to "anyone with the link can view" Share --- Click COPY LINK | DONE. Paste that link here, or click the folder at the top-right of this forum to message it privately to me. It won't be shared. * Before uploading, right-click the folder, click PROPERTIES. Look at the File Size to confirm that it's not too big for the free space on the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
