Hello, I have a rendered 4k 360 video, and it works just great, the only problem is it's 96 gigabytes for 2 minutes. I see that CrushedPixel has some of those. I was just wondering if there is a way to upload them without leaving your computer on for 33 hours. Thank you so much. I tried usuing HandBrake, but I dont get the settings for a 4k 36o video, and it just stops before reaching 1% every time.

What are your render settings? Try using "MP4 Default Quality" as an encoding preset, this should give you smaller file sizes.
To convert your existing file into a smaller one, use ffmpeg in the command line like so:

ffmpeg -i path/to/existing/video.mp4 /path/to/destination/video.mp4

This will convert your video to an mp4 with a better compression.

"High Quality" produces videos with higher quality, but much larger filesize. As YouTube compresses the uploaded videos anyway, it makes no sense to use "High Quality" presets for 360° videos.

If the terminal approach doesn't work for you, just re-render the video. Otherwise, read up about the command line on Mac, and try to execute /usr/bin/ffmpeg .

Thank you, but I have a couple questions
What's the difference betweeen default and high quality?
and sorry for being a noob, but how do we insert ffmpeg -i to a video? I tried inserting that into the terminal, but it doesnt work (I'm on mac yosemite) I can upgrade to El Captain if needed. I entered it into the terminal, and it said command not found. I opened the ffmpeg-1 exec, but I can't type anything there, Should I just re-render it?
