What can I do if my video exceeds the 10GB fetch limit
What can I do if my video exceeds the 10GB fetch limit
Currently, the 10GB fetch limit cannot be increased. However, you can manage large videos within this limit by following these steps:
Use the Ingest API to adjust your source videos to the desired resolution and frame rate of your final video. This step can significantly reduce the file size of your videos.
If your video exceeds the 10GB limit after pre-processing with Ingest API, use FFmpeg to split it into smaller segments, each under the 10GB limit. Then, merge these segments into a single video to ensure the combined file size stays below the 10GB threshold.
