- In this video, we’ll be showing you how to compress a video file.
With a properly compressed video you’ll be able to upload or download it faster, and in some cases, playback will be smoother if the original video was too large a file size. This is all without noticeably impacting the quality of the video at all.
Compressing reduces the file size of a video so it takes up less space on your hard drive. For example, 100MB video can be compressed into an 8MB video with no visible difference. And we’ll show you how to do it.
We will compress the video using Handbrake program. Handbrake is one of the easiest and best programs out there for video compression. It’s also free and open-source.
➡️ Download Handbrake.
➡️ Mostly default settings.
Most default settings will match video input and need no changing.
➡️ Constant framerate same as source, video quality at 23, compression speed at slower.
Constant framerate is reliable on playback. Video quality will get worse the higher the number. 23 will make no noticeable quality dip but will drastically reduce file size. Slower compression speed will get slightly better results in final file size.
➡️ Browse and name output file.
➡️ Double-check settings, make sure Audio is there.
➡️ Start Encode.
Encoding will create a new video from the input file with the new settings we set for it.
➡️ Show the difference in file size between old video and newly compressed one.
Now you know how to compress any video file quickly and easily, it will save you a lot of time in the future.

Just got back from a family gathering and wanted to send some videos to family who couldn't attend, but the file sizes were too big to send via email. This method worked perfectly and now I can share my videos with my family. Thank you SO much!
This has got to be one of the most helpful RUclips tutorials out there. Straight to the point, easy to follow, not wasting our time with unnecessary commentary. Thank you SO MUCH. Other RUclipsrs should certainly take notes from you.
Hi, do you know how to keep the settings that he had recommended in this video as a default setting?
apart from it being near entirely wrong. vbr is always better for this.
@@gg-gn3re Just because there's a better tool for it, doesn't mean this video is suddenly "near entirely wrong". That's just moronic elitism.
@@2hotflavored666 That isn't a tool, that's a data rate, dummy. Progression exists, progress or die.
@@gg-gn3re My point still stands.
A very nice presentation that is straight up to the point. And the software, Handbrake, is indeed very compact and real fast! No glitches or confusing settings!
Thanks a lot!
Definitely straight ahead and to the point. And no obnoxious music! Well done!
literally one of the MOST helpful video's ive ever watched. you didnt waste my time by commentating pointless stuff. and you made it super simple to follow. THANK YOU
EXTREMELY HELPFUL! Usually I am skeptical with when people tell me to download things I have never heard of onto my computer, but following this video to the T just made it so I can upload my whole digital course to a platform that wasn't allowing the file sizes! Thank you so much for this awesome FREE alternative that took less than a few minutes to learn and only a few more to implement!
It works amazing! My files were still as good as it were before I compressed it, and not to mention it was changed to a lower size! Thank you very much!
This is exactly what I needed. I almost ended up paying $70 a year for something you showed how to do for free. Thanks again.
damn, good you didn't bro
@@eco1969 yes
"paying $70 a year"? What do you mean? You pay someone to compress video for you?? Or buy new hardrives??
@@scop8036 and I know because I literally came here for the same fucking reason
@@scop8036 Every single app wants that kind of price, including antivirus
Cheers for this… I was thinking I’d have to split my video into smaller chunks but this just reduced the size… thanks man 👍🏼
Exactly what I am looking for. So easy to follow and it really worked on the video that I am uploading, from 100MB to 9MB. That's awesome! Thank you!🤩
Thank you! This was really helpful. Great pace and easy to follow
anyone else watching this to compress files to 8 or less MB for Discord?
yup
i usually used vlc but recently having some issues of playback in whatsapp so Handbrake is coming in handy !
what a coincidence
Sadly yes
dumb furries
just get nitro lmao
Thank you so much, it's rare to find a tutorial for software that actually works or that has such a small file limits that you have to upgrade to use it. Awesome 10/10 and I've subscribed
This video really helped me today. I had made a video on my daughter's project and its capacity got to 350 MB. I could mail it to her teacher by compressing it for 3-4 times thro the app suggested by you. Thank you so much :)
You're about as amazing as your voice! You have no idea how much you have helped me as I'm not great with stuff like this
Thank you! I want to show a dumb video to my friend on Discord but it won't let me upload files bigger than 8MB, so thanks. You're a lifesaver bro
Thank you!! Finally, a process that works as seamlessly as presented.
Thank you! I needed to compress my introduction video to 20 MB for work. Thank God for your video! It saved me time figuring out how and saved me from getting a tension headache! Now I can submit my video and start working as soon as it is approved by the administration.
This is perfect. Exactly what I needed to know!
Thanks man. this was very helpful

I already Downloaded Handbrake, Just needed directives and this video did the job
You've saved me so much time, energy and now I'm able use files previously I couldn't. GOLD - thank you so much. 😊
Thanks - really useful, as I had been struggling to get my large videos onto RUclips with a slow broadband upload speed.

Excellent video, very concise and simple to follow. Thank you so much!
Great video I'm just at the start of my journey into this kinda stuff as I'm an oldie but I find it all so interesting, many thanks.
This was really helpful thank you!! Btw you have a great voice. It's really soothing ^^
I followed everything they did and compressed my 9.81GB video to 840.1MB, thank you! I did have some issues with how the file saved though. Once the file exported it became a TextEdit Document and couldn't be opened. After over 4 hours of troubleshooting and thinking their was something wrong with my computer, it turns out all I needed to do was add ".mp4" at the end of the exported file to make it work😅. It seems I deleted ".mp4" when renaming the file under saved as before exporting, whoops! Hoping, if by chance anyone else makes this silly mistake, that they'll see this comment for a quick solution🤪.
What PR did u use ?
Thank you for sharing
This turned my 3.6 GiB video into 370.2 MiB and I didn't really see any quality difference! Thank you so much!!
Is this program safe to use? I've heard at some point the download page gave you a virus

This question may be too delayed but may I ask how long it took?

i literally love you. i was on the verge of TEARS because my files were too damn big for my projects but now i am limitless, THANK U
great, this is the most useful tutorial I've come across. I've got some big files that are eating up my disk space, I had just compressed the videos to less than 1/4 of the size with virtually the same quality. Excellent, just what I needed.
holy shit thank you so so much! I was doing a project for school with ae but the rendered file was massive huge for some reason (about 50gb) and with that it compressed the video to a 600mb video!!
Thats massive How was the quality tho?
how much did it take to compress the file from 50GB to 600 mb?
Bruh this tutorial saved my Spanish grade. One speaking assignment I had to do wasn't uploading because it was too big and this video helped me A LOT. You have my thanks, man.
Short & Simple. Also showed examples of compression quality. Amazing video ❤
Hey I'm a RUclips gamer and usually 30 minutes of video become 12 gigs for me, but this is just amazing, now I dont have to wait an entire day to upload a video
How much does it takes to compress a 12 gig file

Why does it have so little likes? :) This is awesome. So simple, yet effective. Rotating video can be a bit tricky tho. Had to set anamorphic to "none". I don't know what this channel is about, but after this one I'm watching it all.
Awesome work. Quality is great too!
i had a school assignment i had to make a video but it was big so the school website wouldnt allow it but when i saw this video and used the software the compressed video was smaller and the it allowd it so now i sended the video to my teacher to check thank you very much with this idea it helped me lot!
thankyou so much, its 2:53 am , and I was trying to compress my 1.02GB video file as I needed to share the video in office, just because of you, I am able to compress my video from 1Gb to 55Mb. OMG again thankyou so much, you saved my night
Thank you! You saved this pastor's behind because I was entirely clueless and needed to prepare our video worship for this Sunday!
Lmao @ this pastor’s behind.
Amen.
cranebeg class 😂
same HAHAHAHAHAHA
Relatable i wa freaking out becozz it was so large omg, its like 7 gb
respect
It defaults to H264 but change that to that H265 for a much higher compression ratio that still delivers good quality. Downside is older computers may not be able to play back the HEVC file but almost any phone will.
Was gonna comment this too
Awesome. Simple, easy steps all because you explained it so perfectly. Thank you.
THANK YOU!!! I've been looking for a tool and a way to compress videos down without limits or HOURS on hours of encoding time! Worked like a dream!
I'm on my first year of college, still adjusting to the "new normal". I've only had my laptop for about a few months and I'm still a tech newbie.
I panicked because my video file was too large for the professor's platform, and this was an absolute LIFE SAVER!!

If you drag the file then it will default to m4v. Just make sure that you click the drop down box back to MP4 so that removes the default file type.
Thanks, brilliantly simple and easy to use. much needed :)
I was a little nervous with this video being 3 years old, but the program and instructions hold up! Very helpful!
from 900 MB to 67 MB .. you are the best
@GO TO LOBBY you can try the application, it's free noting that you MUST use your brain before commenting, it's free also :)
@@AnasAbbasDev thanks for your reply because his comment make me confused
@AnasAbbas This is not working for me. could you kindly share the the settings that enable you compress 900MB, the settings on this video don't reduce my video file significantly. Thanks
@@BeingVickie i smsorry for late but i saw your comment just now, the settings is same with those in video but i noted not all videos compressed highly
You are a hero! Wish I had searched and found this months ago! Thank you! 22RF looked better then 23RF for me when I was using a moving graphic with dot movement. 9gb to 40mb for a minute video 🙏
Thank you. I was trying to compress files with some existing software I already had and riding the struggle bus. Was compressing video 5 minutes after I viewed this. Thank you. Now I can easily bore many more family members with home videos.

Thanks for posting I increased my RF:51 I had to max it out because my file were huge. I am grateful for your kindness by sharing this application that has saved me a lot of time and effort. You were to the point and that matters most when one in facing a deadline.
Lossy compression is just what it's name suggests: loss of quality through compression. The methods showcased here is lossy compression. It may not be noticeable to some people especially if you are using a small or low quality output device (screen, computer, etc.) but make no mistake- there is loss of quality.
Rf25 is balance with constant selection but make your video audio to mp3 rate100 you will get the magic
Very correct. You took the words right out of my head. But how about a universal data compressor that losslessly compresses a 100mb video to less than 1mb? Yes you heard: losslessly. Not even the slightest loss of quality. SWILL-CODEC performs such magic with ease.
@@ofemuguru9393 what is SWILL codec? can you link me. Google search doesn't turn up anything for me. I know there's HEVC .265 and upcoming .266 but they don't compress to such a ratio losslessly.
@@ofemuguru9393 can you share the tutorial?
Something about either your voice or just the tone you talk in that I really like for some reason.
@Aniver I see a mix of Moist & Swagger
Thank you for such simple, short and helpful content that is what viewers want.
Perfect! I uploaded the HandBrake software, walked through the compression and watched it in just a few minutes. 75Mb to 5Mb...super! Thanks!
Does anyone else's computer start sounding like an air conditioner when encoding?
but seriously though, thanks man this was a good tutorial.

yeah idk about 2.53 gb turning into 129 mb. that's too much and there should be a significant change to the quality with that massive compression
Is there any other adjustments? When I tried a 970mb file only 10mb is reduced?

Congrats you basically destroyed its quality
dreamcore if that's what you like to think 🤭
After following your steps I got a higher file size.Why?
could be a.whole bunch of reasons. What codec and compile settings does your source file have? Level, bitrate, bitdepth, dimention... If it's compressed in V8/V9 or .264/5 the only way to make it smaller is by losing quality.
And btw, compression is always lossy. Many ppl just don't have the hardware/monitors with ability to display the higher.quality. Like HDR. Or h.265 4k60.
No clue
Same hear I tried 200mb file and got 210mb file. Follow the guidelines given in video.
