MP4 file will not upload - help please!
When I try to upload an MP4 video, following the usual steps, I get the following error:
"name of video file" does not appear to be a supported video format. Please select a video from one of the supported formats"
But other MP4 files I have do work.
This one is 4GB, larger than others I have uploaded.
So it seems the issue is with the file, but I thought MP4 would be fine? Any advice please?
Thank you

I am having the same issue this morning, after having successfully uploaded an mp4 as a placeholder while I built the course. Now I need to put in the final cut of the video, and I get this message! Sounds like an Articulate issue. Help!
Reading other threads, could be an issue with size. My final render was over 2GB, so we're going to compress a bit. Also, could be an issue with the audio files not being AAC, but do read through older posts. Users mention several workarounds.

I was able to load the file by compressing it to just under 2GB. My understanding had been that 2GB was not too big, but 1.7GB did the trick!
