The settings in Step 3 will not be implemented if no movie has been selected in Step 1: Select Images.

  1. Check that the total size of the files that you want to upload does not exceed the available space on the server. You can check the available space by clicking the Check button.

  2. Resize image
    You can reduce the size of a movie file by reducing the size of the images in the movie. Select one of the following options. The size settings will be applied to all selected movies.
