Trim before compressing
The easiest way to reduce video size is to remove footage people do not need. A shorter video is smaller, faster to upload and easier to watch. Use Video Trimmer before compressing if the clip has extra seconds at the beginning or end.
For demos and support recordings, trimming can make the message clearer as well as smaller.
Choose the right resolution
A 4K video is not always necessary. For email, internal review and many web placements, 720p or 1080p is enough. Use Video Resolution Converter when the dimensions are larger than the final use requires.
Lowering resolution before compression can reduce size dramatically while keeping the video watchable.
Compress for the destination
Use Video Compressor for a simple quality preset workflow. Choose a smaller setting for quick sharing and a higher quality setting when the video is part of a public page or product presentation.
If compatibility is the issue, use Video Converter to export MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV or AVI.
Remove audio when it is not needed
Background loops, silent product demos and visual instructions often do not need audio. Use Remove Audio from Video to create a muted version and avoid publishing unwanted sound.
This also helps privacy when a recording includes background conversation.
