Approximate, for a 16:9 video at 30 fps. FeatherCut never upscales, so a lower-resolution source stays as it is.
Tips
Tips for email
- Gmail: 25 MB per message. If you attach anything else, pick a smaller size.
- Outlook and work mailboxes are often 20 MB or less. Set a custom size such as 18 MB.
- Recipient's server rejects it? Go a few MB lower. Some servers count the limit after attachment encoding, which adds about a third.
- MP4 with H.264 is a safe bet: it opens on Windows, Mac and every phone with no codecs to install.
