Hey there, fellow Mac users! 🖐️ It's time to tackle that clutter in your video storage and make some much-needed space for all your digital adventures. We get it; all those cherished memories caught on camera are important, but they can eat up your Mac's storage faster than a scoop of ice cream melts on a hot summer day! 🍦 Don't sweat it though, we've got your back! In this blog, we'll show you how to clear up your video storage on a Mac while having some fun along the way and answer questions such as, "How much storage do videos take up on an iPhone" and "How to check video storage on an iPhone."
Part 1: Let's Tackle that Video Storage!
Picture this: You're trying to download the latest blockbuster, but your Mac gives you the "Out of Space" warning. Oh no! Time to put on your detective hat and solve the case of the vanishing storage. 🕵️♀️
1. Lights, Camera, Action - Assess Your Video Collection!
First things first, grab some popcorn 🍿 and take a look at your video stash. Are there duplicates hiding in the corner? Old videos you've forgotten about? Say goodbye to the ones you don't need anymore. Delete them like a boss!
2. Backup, Backup, Backup!
Now that you've got your favorites in order, don't forget to create a backup. Get yourself an external hard drive or use Time Machine to make sure you won't be sobbing over lost videos later on.
3. Out with the Old, In with the New!
Let's admit it, some videos have been hanging around longer than that pair of jeans you've outgrown. Take a trip down memory lane and bid farewell to the ones that don't spark joy anymore. You'll feel lighter, we promise!
4. Don't Forget to Trash the Trash!
You know that Trash bin in the corner of your desktop? Empty it! Those deleted videos are still hogging your precious storage space. Say your goodbyes, and let 'em go! 🗑️
Part 2: How much storage am I using?
Ever shot so many hilarious cat videos or memories of your summer escapades that you've wondered, "How much space do these magical moments hog on my iPhone?" Well, the storage a video takes up can vary a lot based on its duration, resolution, and quality. For instance, a 1-minute 4K video at 30fps might gobble up around 350MB of your storage, while the same duration in Full HD (1080p) might only take up about 130MB of space. 📹🐱
Now, to play detective and find out how much space your videos are munching on:
- Tap on 'Settings' (that silver cogwheel icon).
- Scroll down a bit and select 'General'.
- Dive into 'iPhone Storage'.
- Give it a moment to load, and voila! You'll see a list of apps and how much space they're occupying. Look for 'Photos' and tap it. You'll see a breakdown that includes 'Videos', showing exactly how much of your phone's real estate they're occupying. 🕵️♂️📊
