WHY USE THIS TOOL

Keep MOV while making the file easier to handle

Camera and editing MOV files can be large. Re-encoding with a practical quality profile can reduce storage and transfer demands.

Stay in MOV

The focused workflow keeps MOV as the destination container.

Reduce resolution

Downscaling high-resolution footage can produce a much larger size reduction.

Choose compression strength

High, Balanced and Smaller profiles make the tradeoff explicit.

HOW IT WORKS

How to compress MOV

2
Pick quality and resolution
Balanced is a good first try; lower resolution for a stronger reduction.
3
Download smaller MOV
Save the compressed file after live processing completes.

Good to know

A lossy re-encode can change image quality. Keep a master copy when the original footage matters.
