How to compress video files to upload to TORSH Talent
Video files are often very large in size, and depending on your network connection, it can be difficult and time-consuming to upload these files to TORSH Talent. If you happen to have a copy of the video file on your computer, we highly recommend you compress the file to 480p resolution by downloading and using the following free, trusted service on your computer: Handbrake .
Once you have downloaded the Handbrake program to your desktop/laptop computer, open the program and follow the steps listed below:
- First click 'Open Source' and select your video.
- Navigate to the 'Preset' dropdown at the top of the window.
- Click the 'Preset' dropdown (What currently displays as 'Fast 1080p 30').
- A dropdown list will appear. Hover over 'General.' Another dropdown list will appear.
- From this second list, select 'Fast 480p 30.'
- Navigate to 'Browse' at the bottom and determine where you would like your newly compressed videos to download to.
- Lastly, click the green 'Start' button at the top.
- Allow the encoding/compressing process to complete. Once it is finished, you should find a new, smaller copy of your video on your computer.
Once you have located this compressed video copy, login to TORSH Talent on a trusted web browser on your computer (Safari, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome). Then go to 'Upload' on Talent and upload your newly compressed video file.
