i take say three short clips on my phone, email them to myself, join them together edit as best I can in ‘Openshot’ on the pc then most times it tells me I’m over the 25mb file size ???

I am a bit confused.

When (and where) exactly are you getting the message that tells you that you are over the 25MB limit?

Are you trying to email the finished videos? Is that when you are seeing the message?

You also mentioned something about youtube. Are you seeing this message when you are uploading to youtube?

Or are you seeing this message in OpenShot when you are trying to save / export / render the file?

NOTE: Since OpenShot is FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) there isn't a license nor premium version that you need to buy. It is free. And open source.

Also, once you have saved the file, find the folder in Windows and right click on the file. A big pop up menu should show up. On the General tab, tell us what the size is.

Then click the details tab. Scroll down a little bit and tell us what it says in the Video section (Length, Frame Width, Frame Height, Data Rate, Total Bitrate, Frame Rate).
