🎬 Prepare Your Pumptrack Video

Keep it short: please keep videos under 30 seconds.

Audio will be removed during compression or upload, which helps keep file sizes smaller and focuses on the riding.

💬 Option 1 – Recommended: Compress using WhatsApp

This is the easiest and most reliable way to shrink your video before upload.

1. On a mobile device send the video to yourself on WhatsApp (or to a trusted friend and have them send it back).
2. After it’s sent and processed:
   • On iPhone: open the video → tap Share → Save to Photos / Save Video.
   • On Android: open the video → tap the three dots or share icon → Save / Download.
3. Your phone will usually save a much smaller MP4 version.
4. Return to the Submit a Track page and upload that smaller file.

This works best for short clips. In certain circumstances the result might still be large — if so, try trimming/cropping the clip shorter in your Photos app and repeat.

🧩 Option 2 – Compress in your browser (experimental)

Works best for short clips under ~30 seconds. Audio will be removed.

📱 What happens on your device?

• On iPhone: downloads don’t work directly. The compressed video will open in a new tab — long-press the video and choose Save Video.
• On Android: the file will download normally into your Downloads folder.
• On Desktop: the file saves as a normal download.

⚠️ Important

In-browser video compression is experimental and may not work on every phone or browser. Performance varies depending on:

• Device age and speed
• Browser type (Chrome/Safari/Firefox)
• Video format (HEVC / .mov / slow-motion clips)
• Low available memory

If this tool pauses, crashes, or fails to save the video:

👉 Please use the WhatsApp compression method instead — it is much more reliable on all devices.

You can always come back to this page after trimming your video shorter or trying another format.

✅ Final Check

Upload limit on the site: please keep your final video under 50 MB.

If your video is still too large after trying the browser tool, we recommend:

• Using the WhatsApp method above, and/or
• Trimming or cropping the clip shorter in your Photos / Gallery app, then compressing again.
