Avoid font colour change in macOS 11 menu bar In macOS 11 the font colour of the menu bar automatically adapts to the darkness of the background image.

I don't have a video that big to test, but maybe try https://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter1/ -- I have good experience with this for simple tasks like cutting a video in two pieces or joining two videos on a much weaker system (more) |
