What is the maximum video length and file size?

Updated · 2 min read

Short answer

A video can be up to 8 hours long. On the Basic plan, each video can be up to 30 minutes; Core and higher plans have no plan length limit. The largest file you can upload is 2 GB during the free trial, 5 GB on Basic, 10 GB on Core, and has no limit on Pro and higher plans.

  1. Select New video, then Upload.
  2. Read the note under the upload box. It shows the accepted formats and your maximum file size, for example "up to 5 GB" or "no file size limit".
  3. If your file is too large, compress it (see below) or move to a plan with a higher limit.
  4. If your video is longer than your plan allows, shorten it in a video editor or move to Core or higher.
Upload panel on the Mindstamp New video page, with the note that lists supported formats and the file size limit highlighted
The note under the upload area shows the formats you can upload and the file size limit for your plan.
  • Basic: up to 30 minutes for each video.
  • Core, Pro, Scale and Ultra: no plan length limit.
  • All plans: uploads can be up to 8 hours long.

The file size limit applies to files you upload. A video you link from Vimeo, Wistia or your own storage is not uploaded to Mindstamp.

  • Free trial: 2 GB for each file.
  • Basic: 5 GB for each file.
  • Core: 10 GB for each file.
  • Pro, Scale, Ultra and Enterprise: no file size limit.

The upload box accepts video files such as MP4, MOV and WebM. The Link source accepts a direct MP4 or HLS (.m3u8) address. For the smallest file with good quality, export an MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio. See how to compress a video.
