Any reasons why I cannot fit a 8 GB video on my brand new 64 GB flash drive?

Hello everyone, I am really stumped by my problem. I edited a video for school with Movavi Video Editor (first time using it), and all in the end the file size is just under 8 GB. I went to Walmart, and bought a 64 GB flash drive to transport the edited version of the video and Windows 10 says the flash drive is too small when it's showing I have 60.5/60.5 GB free.

Here is the flash drive I bought: https://www.amazon.com/EP-Memory-Gorilladrive-Flash-EP-GDUSB/dp/B00GH18HW4

Here is Movavi video editor: https://www.movavi.com/videoeditor/

Thanks!

Yes there is a reason. You must have the drive formatted as NTFS or exFAT and NOT FAT32.

FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit while the others do not.

Simply attach the drive right click on it and select format, then change the type to either of the two that will allow large files and do a quick format. Then it should work fine.
