How to send large video files (or how to share them) has become a daily issue for many. Especially from a business perspective, imagine the following scenario: You’re about to pitch to a client for the account of a lifetime, and you’ve just perfected your showstopper – the video. It’s catchy and creative; you’ve added the epic voice-over and got this in the bag. But you’ve hit a roadblock:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘This video is too large to send. Try a smaller file.’ <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, we’ve all been there at some point, and in any industry, from content creation to films, knowing how to send large video files is crucial. Especially since video marketing<\/a> is one of the best ways to make your brand go viral. Keeping your videos to under 25MB, however, is definitely Mission Impossible<\/em>. But when you’ve been in the business for as long as we have, you accumulate tips and insights on all things audio content related. Mainly when you use professional voice actors for your videos, like these pros on Voice123.<\/a> So in this post, we’ll discuss the best ways to send large video files and how to send large video files from iPhone, Android, and via email. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to send large video files<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A large video file usually exceeds 2GB<\/strong>, but that limit can change depending on your platform. For example, emails have an attachment limit of 25MB<\/strong>, while other platforms allow files of up to 5GB<\/strong>. A general rule is that the higher the video’s resolution and the longer it is, the larger the file size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 3 of the best ways to send large video files<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Cloud Services<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Cloud services like Dropbox or Google Drive allow you to send large video files as links to download the video. They’re affordable, familiar, and easy to use, especially when sharing a large file with a client. However, these video transfers can be slow and inconsistent depending on the file size and the internet speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. File Compression<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

File compression or ‘zipping’ is software that usually cuts the file size in half. Just right-click on the folder and click compress. Or you can use an online tool like Descript<\/a>. But this process can lower the resolution or even corrupt the video. So always keep a copy of the original and use a trusted file compressor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Video sharing software<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Video sharing software is unique software or websites like WeTransfer<\/a> that allows you to send and track large video files. But there are different upload size limits depending on the plan you have. So if you’re consistently creating video content that’s over 20GB, the free version just won’t cut it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what happens when you’re on the road and you get a message from a client saying they need a copy of your video in the next 5 minutes? There’s no computer or USB; all you have is your phone, so here’s how to send large video files for free or from iPhone and Android.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to send large video files for free<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can send large video files for free by using online file transfer services such as WeTransfer, Send Anywhere, and Filemail. Just upload the video, enter the recipient’s email, and click send. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WeTransfer<\/a> allows users to send video files that are less than 2GB for free, or companies can use the paid version – which is $120 per year<\/strong> – to share files of up to 200 GB. WeTransfer also has customizable boards to group related videos into different categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Send Anywhere<\/a> has a range of plans from $0 to $10 a month, and you can transfer large video files of up to 30GB. Everything is encrypted, and with the browser add-on, you can attach the video file links directly to your emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filemail<\/a> allows you to send large video files of up to 5GB for free via email or a secure link. Business plans are also available for companies to send large files without any size limits. And specialized tracking features allow you to record when a file was shared or if there’s a request to view the file. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to send large video files from iPhone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most common way is to use AirDrop between Apple devices.<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
