The video size that you can post to Tumblr can't go beyond 100MB per day. Which means you can upload single clips or multiple videos on Tumblr yet the total video size cannot exceed 100MB. If your video size breaks this limit, try to reduce video file size or change video bitrate to lower degree to help you get smaller MP4 videos.

The max length of accepted video for sharing on Tumblr is 5 minutes a day. You can upload a 5-minute video or several videos that are up to 5 minutes in total a day.

Before you post video to Tumblr, make sure the video duration is fit for this requirement. When the video exceeds the limit, you can cut off the unnecessary parts, like trim MP4 videos via some video editors.
