Ended up doing the simple thing. (simple to start, but not simple eventually)
Opened the big file (1.5 Gb) in iMovie. This took ages to load - I think nearly 15 minutes.
Did one 'sharing' that didn't reduce the file size at all.
Then found 'expert settings', set anything to automatic that I could, and put quality to poor.
Ended with file size of 2.3 Mb - that's more like it.
So let's see how it uploads.
Failure one - am planning to click cancel whenever it says it has lost contact with Blogger. Last night I let it go on for ages, the wheel turning merrily, but in the end, no results.
Try No. 2
Again the failure message. So pressed save. message disappeared. So did the spinning wheel. but the black screen is still there, saying Uploading video ...
Think I'll go down and eat breakfast
Wait a minute - I just clicked on the black square and got an error message from blogger, but couldn't rightly read it. Then it disappeared. Curiouser and curriouser as Alice said to the Cheshire cat.
Message is still incomplete, and so can't send a report to Blogger. Think I will log out and log in again, and see if that helps.
Trial No 3
When I logged back in and went to re-edit, the black square said 'missing video', which might mean that it was making progress, even though I couldn't see it.
