I made this video for school and it ended being over 25 minutes long with close to 300 pictures. The total size of it 256 GB and I can't upload it to YouTube despite being verified. I am not sure how to compress it. Any help or software suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Some background info: I am using a windows 10 and I used adobe after effects to create the video

WinRAR is for archiving, not video compression.

You will need to re-encode it with lower quality settings.

Some Freeware choices:

Handbrake
Xvid4PSP
Mediacoder
Staxrip

Basically frontends for x264 or x265, though hardware encoding possible with some with the correct encoder selected.
