Trying to upload a 3.2 GB video file with Starlink from Zambia. Yesterday it took around 5 hours to upload a video of the same size. Just to give you an impression of how difficult it is to work here.

Look into compressing the video. Handbrake is a good option for desktop, and FFshare is one for Android. You can often knock the size down by up to 80%. Saves a lot of bandwidth on upload, and download for viewers.

Good idea. But I need them on Vimeo so that my editor has access. Will compressing it before not reduce the quality?

Ah yes, possibly.

Have a chat with your editor about what resolution and h265 Bitrate they need to be able to produce crisp enough video.

If you are uploading raw video footage you might be wasting a lot of time and bandwidth!
