How long can my videos be?

In WeVideo, a video can be up to 2 hours long. Once you reach the 2-hour limit, your timeline will not extend further, and you will not be able to export your video.

Why is there a 2-hour time limit?

WeVideo enforced a 2-hour limit on videos to ultimately ensure a good user experience. Due to current web standards and how cloud infrastructure and web browsers handle very large files, WeVideo has a 2-hour max to ensure your project has good functionality.

What should I do if my video is longer than 2 hours?

If you have a video that exceeds 2 hours in length, you can:

  • Split your project: Divide your project into two or more shorter, separate projects and export them as individual videos
  • Trim your content: Review your video and trim out any unnecessary footage with the split and delete tools to shorten the video length to under 2 hours. Some key things to look for when trimming your video are repetitive pieces, poor video quality, or content that does not add to the overall value of your project.2-hour
