How do you reduce the size of video files taken by your phone?

I took a one minute video on my phone, and I can't send it to anyone because it's 80 megs. Is there a setting on the phone that will save the file in version that makes it smaller, or is there something I can do after the fact?

You can:
1. Shoot at a lower resolution. Most phones allow you to set this.
2. Start shooting video from a messaging app. Usually this will result in the messaging app resizing the video to fit in an MMS. This will result in a horrible, horrible quality video.
3. Get a video editing app. There are tons of apps that can resize videos.
4. Host the video on a site and pass the link around instead of the entire video. This will preserve most of the quality.

Thanks. I was hoping to avoid the lower resolution route. So there isn't a way to maybe put it on a pc and convert it to a file type that is more compressed?

You're not going to get 80megs down to email size without losing something. Could you share it from a google drive, or make it private on youtube or something?

Use handbrake to convert the file to use H.264 encoding, that should shrink it quite a bit
ETA: Just did a test with 82MB file, H.264 encoding dropped it to 30MB
