Systeme.io video hosting: 2 GB max, 100 MB recommended, fit a clip

Systeme.io's help page says a hosted video cannot exceed 2 GB, and recommends videos no larger than 100 MB for the fastest loading time. For a sales page or funnel step, treat 100 MB as your target and let the 2 GB figure be a ceiling you never approach.

The page also says storage for media, including videos, is unlimited, so the constraint is page speed, not space.

What Systeme.io states

The numbers below are on Systeme.io's host-videos article, read 2026-10-10. The article gives no format, duration or per-plan limit, so this post does not either.

A 100 MB budget

Sume has no bitrate setting, so the budget is spent on length and pixel size. One hundred megabytes is 800 megabits if a megabyte is 1,000,000 bytes. A 60-second clip would need to average about 13 megabits per second, and a 30-second clip about 27. That arithmetic is the ceiling; the file you download decides whether you meet it, so measure it.

Make it and cut it

Generate the opening hook with the Video Router: seedance-2.5 takes 4 to 30 seconds at 480p, 720p or 1080p. If you built several scenes, the Timeline 1.0 render joins them and takes an output length of 1 to 1800 seconds, with output width and height from 256 to 2160 and fps of 24, 25, 30 or 60. The default output is 1080 by 1920, so set a landscape width and height for a page video.

Checklist

Run the order below and stop as soon as the file is under 100 MB.

• Render at 720p before 1080p.
• Cut the clip to the length the page needs; video trim costs $0.02 per job.
• Use fps 24 or 30 rather than 60 unless motion needs it.
• Re-read Systeme.io's article before you ship; it may change.
