If you happen to have a copy of the video file on your computer, we highly recommend you compress the file to **480p resolution** by downloading and using the following free, trusted service on your computer: [**Handbrake**](https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php).   **Once you have downloaded the Handbrake program to your desktop/laptop computer, open the program and follow the steps listed below:** 1. First click **'Open Source'** and select your video. 2. Navigate to the **'Preset'** dropdown at the top of the window. 3. Click the 'Preset' dropdown (What currently displays as 'Fast 1080p 30'). 4. A dropdown list will appear. **Hover over 'General.'** Another dropdown list will appear. 5. From this second list, select **'Fast 480p 30.'** 6. Navigate to **'Browse'** at the bottom and determine where you would like your newly compressed videos to download to. 7. **Lastly, click the green 'Start' button at the top.** 8. Allow the encoding/compressing process to complete. Once it is finished, you should find a new, smaller copy of your video on your computer.   Once you have located this compressed video copy, login to TORSH Talent on a trusted web browser on your computer (Safari, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome). Then go to **'Upload'** on Talent and upload your newly compressed video file. - [Administrators](https://support.torsh.co/administrators?hsLang=en#main-content) - [System Settings](https://support.torsh.co/administrators?hsLang=en#system-settings) -
