Hi I need some technical help. I recorded a video to share but I used a recently purchased gopro hero 11 that recorded the video in an ultra high resolution (5k I believe). It was my first time using this camera and I chose it mainly to get everything in frame. Now I can't play it back unless I use the camera. Can someone explain how to drop the resolution in as lamen terms as possible? I am currently trying to use vidcoder but have no idea what I am actually doing. Thanks in advance for the help.

I got it to work! It actually wasn't too hard at all. Thank you to the person who told me about vidcoder you are my hero.

I use handbrake. There are a LOT of great preset settings for various resolutions.

Thank you for your reply. That was another suggestion, from what I read vidcode uses handbrake as the engine. I am not sure if that's true. VC was first thing suggested so after a bit of playing I figured out how to just using default settings. It was more the initial shock of filming something that can't be played and feeling kinda at a loss.
