FAQ

About compress video

How much smaller will the video be?

The result depends on the source codec and motion, but the balanced preset targets a useful quality-to-size tradeoff for web delivery.

Does compression change the video dimensions?

Not by default. Add width or height options when you want compression and resizing in the same job.
