In this video I’m continuing on the topic of outsourcing videos and one of the questions I’ve received from you is: “How do I shrink my videos to a smaller size?” Here’s a quick and easy solution and I have to credit this to Gideon Shalwick as his the one who recommended this to me and I’m sharing this with you.

Hi! Tyrone Shum from Outsourcing Live. In today’s video, I want to share with you a way to be able to get your files compressed down to really small size so that you can send it over to your video editor. I’m going to do probably two videos. This one that I’m going to do is specifically focused for a Mac user. In the next video I’ll show you what to do in regards for PC user.

Now the reason why I’m doing this is because I get a lot of questions about this particular thing because with the Canon, the particular SLR camera that I’m recording with this high quality video, as I mentioned previously, it takes about 300MB per minute or so. So if you are to record like a 5-minute video, it goes up to about 1.5GB which is humongous. And to send it over it’ll take me literally hours and hours, probably even I think at least almost 2 days to be able to upload it because my internet connection speed isn’t fast in upload, the download’s fine.

So this device called the Elgato H264 Turbo which I’ll put a link down below anyway, you can pick this up on Amazon. I recently purchased it directly from Amazon and I also have to thank you for Gideon Shalwick who recommended this little device. It’s an awesome amazing little device, I’m just about to take it out to show you. But essentially what this little device does is that it just looks like a little USB dongle and what you do for a Mac user you just plug it straight in, it comes with software and hardware, and what it’ll do is it will convert the file that you have that is say like 1.5GB and actually bring it down in the smallest size which you can send over without losing the quality of the videos.

Use Elgato Turbo H264 HD To Compress Video Files

Now, as you’re watching this, a lot of my videos I’ve been sending out to my video editor to get edited and as you can probably see, the quality is still there. So this little device brings it down to around about 200MB depending on what settings you set it. I could set it at a high setting if I wanted to but I’ve chosen that and it’s more than sufficient enough to get onto Youtube for videos like this to watch.

So as I said this little device is called Elgato Turbo – I’ll say it again, Elgato Turbo H264 HD. Remember to get the HD version in this little device because it obviously works for the HD. If you get the standard version, it won’t be able to convert a lot of the high definition videos that you have. So just give that a shot. It’s perfect for the iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, it’s got all those formats that you need and apparently also extracts all the audio out as well for you.

Now, the reason why I just want to say one last thing is that it uses this little chip in here to convert. So therefore it’s much faster, it doesn’t use your processor or your computer processor and it probably takes – for me for about 1.5GB video, it takes about 5 minutes or so to convert. Whereas if you put into a software, it will take you at least 2 or 3 hours to do. So see which one is better for you.

All right so hopefully that answers your question on how to be able to compress or bring these file sizes, these video file sizes to be able to send over to your video editor, very, very quickly and very smart as well.

All right, thank you so much for watching this. If you do have any further questions, just feel free to leave it down below but I hope that this little video will help you and solve a lot of your questions in regards to getting a video smaller and much faster over to your video editor.
