Long duration and high resolution usually have more impact on file size than small quality adjustments. Start with the Small preset, then shorten the clip or reduce its dimensions if the exported MP4 still exceeds the upload allowance shown in your Discord client.

- Resize 4K or 1440p sources when viewers do not need that resolution.
- Check the downloaded file size before attaching it to a message.
