VideoPlayer.ai limits a single upload to 5 GB during beta. Total storage across your account is capped by your plan. The free tier gives you 10 GB. Paid tiers will raise that cap.
Per-upload limit
The per-upload limit is 5 GB. This covers the source file size, not the encoded output. A 4 GB MOV that compresses to 600 MB of HLS still counts as a single 4 GB upload at the moment of transfer.
If you have a longer or higher-bitrate file, encode it down before uploading. A short list of practical settings:
| Source | Suggested action | Tool |
|---|---|---|
| 4K phone video, several minutes | Re-encode to 1080p H.264 | HandBrake, ffmpeg |
| Long ProRes export from an editor | Export H.264 master at 8-12 Mbps | The editor itself |
| Screen recording, hours long | Split into segments, upload each | The screen recorder |
Storage quota
Your library page shows total used and remaining storage. Storage counts against the quota using the source file size, not the encoded output size. If you upload a 1 GB file, that is 1 GB of your quota.
Deleting a video from your library frees its storage immediately. You can delete from the dashboard.
What about live streams or 4K masters?
VideoPlayer.ai is on-demand only. There is no live streaming during beta. For 4K masters that exceed 5 GB, encode a 1080p version to upload. Most viewers do not have the bandwidth or display for 4K, and 1080p is well within the per-upload limit.
