Summary
1. Reduce the Resolution, Frame Rate and Bit Rate
Video resolution, frame rates and other factors play important role in video size. Video with higher resolution, frame rates and bit rate will get a larger file size. If you want to reduce the video size, it is recommended to reduce the resolution of the video at the beginning. For example, you can convert video resolution from 1920*1080 to 1280 *720.

Of course, if the size of the video can not reach your requirement after changing the resolution, you can reduce frame rate and bit rate as well. Because bit rate and frame rates also influence the video size. And we can reduce the two items of the video slightly.
It’s recommended to change the frame rate between 24 to 30fps and the bit rate is from 1400 to 2000kbps. If we reduce the two items shapely, the quality of the video and audio will be reduced greatly as well as the fluency of the video.

2. Transfer Video Format
Here are some common video formats: AVI, WMA, RMVB, MP4, etc. And MP4 is the most popular video format at present. But some video sharing websites like Facebook may limit the resolution and frame rate of the video. If you receive the notification that you can not upload the video to such websites because of such limitation, you can change the resolution and frame rate of the MP4 video with method above.

Although AVI is flexible, it is hard to compress because the file size of AVI file is too large. It is recommended to convert it to FLV, WMV or MP4. You can reduce the file size as well as not get a video with a poor quality.
