VIRB Edit Excessive Time to Export or Upload a Video

There are many factors Garmin cannot control, which affect video exporting and uploading times.

  • Exporting or uploading videos will be affected by the age of your computer

  • Video editing can require a substantial amount of computer resources

  • Most Internet Service Providers provide faster download speeds than upload speeds

    • Upload speeds affect how quickly you send data to another location.  As a result, uploading a video to the Internet will take significantly longer than it will take to view it

    • The longer the video is or the higher the quality a video is, the longer it will take to export and/or upload

  • Videos may contain a large amount of data

    • Shortening a video's length or utilizing a lower resolution can reduce the file size of the video. This will shorten the time it takes to export and upload a video online.

Garmin is constantly refining software with updates. Ensure VIRB Edit is up-to-date by downloading the latest version from the website.

Being mindful of your hardware limitations and the limitations of your internet connection will help frame proper expectations regarding video exporting or uploading while updating your software will ensure any available increases in performance will be utilized.
