The FACS file cabinet has a 50 MB file size limit. This limit can make loading raw video files difficult. Please follow the steps below to reduce video file size so video files can be loaded into the File Cabinet.
There are a number of free video compression software tools available to reduce the file size of videos without reducing the quality of the video. VLC Media Player is one such tool that works very well in reducing video file size without reducing video quality. Please follow the steps below to download VLC and convert your video files.
