[Chickcatcher]

Spent best part of an hour last night trying to upload it for about 40% and gave up.

I find the best way is to load to YouTube then just attach a link on whatever social media sight you want to post on.

Would generally agree, but normally you can just load to Facebook as well.

I don’t use Facebook, Can’t stand it! I tolerate Twitter as it’s generally more informative but still full of plebs ?

Hi Chris it was loading but after such a long time and only getting so far I thought there must be something I was doing wrong. as on email no way can you add more than 25Mb. There are at times clips that come up on the right of TFF screen of a chap America/Canada posting long video clips and am of the opinion he wouldn't be taking hours like me, but they are you tube bits.

Have you done a speed check? Just Google 'speed check'. Some times videos upload quite quickly, best to choose times when the internet is not busy, bearing in mind times when they could be busy in other time zones.

Your drone footage will be in full hd. Probably 50hz too. Hence why the files are so bit. You tube compresses the video a lot. Which is why we tend to embed them on the right hand side.

there is the real problem 1.4Mb upload,

I think you-tube limits the length of movies until you have done a few ? unless you pay for a premium account if course !

Facebook also has length limits IIRC and Twitter has to be sub 2 mins

Vimeo gets away from the compression, loads better quality than you-tube but beware they will force anything that shows a branded machine to pay for a commercial account - I got in trouble uploading videos of our Horsch drill

Ooh! You lucky chap! I am on 0.7mb/s after I have been promised approximate 34mb/s and the lying barstewards are still taking my money for fibre.
