About Compress Video

Frequently asked questions
Will video compression reduce quality?
Yes. Compression re-encodes the video, so stronger compression trades some visual detail for a smaller file.

Choose strong compression and a lower output resolution such as 720p or 480p.
What format is the compressed video?
The result is exported as MP4 for broad compatibility.
