Moodle says the video is too large

Before you compress

• Check the limit next to the assignment's own upload area: it can be lower than elsewhere on the site.
• Ask your teacher whether a link to the video, for example from Google Drive or OneDrive, is accepted instead.
• If only part of the video is needed, a shorter video fits more easily.

Make a copy that fits

1. Open Clipmino and choose the video, or share it to Clipmino from your gallery.
2. Type the size Moodle shows as the maximum size, from 2 to 500 MB. Moodle counts 1 MB as 1,048,576 bytes and Clipmino as 1,000,000, so a copy of that number of MB fits.
3. Clipmino compresses on your phone and checks the copy before it says done. Then upload the copy to Moodle.

Your original is not changed. The copy is saved in Movies/Clipmino.

When a copy will not fit

Long, detailed or fast-moving videos need a minimum amount of data to stay watchable. If Clipmino cannot make a useful copy under the limit, it says so instead of reporting a success. Keep a shorter part of the video.

Which videos Clipmino accepts

MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM and 3GP files from 1 second to 20 minutes and up to 2 GB, with H.264, HEVC, VP8, VP9 or AV1 video, where your phone has a decoder for that codec. Full compatibility.
