How to Compress QuickTime Videos Effortlessly on Windows?

💡 Based on the quantity and size of your QuickTime videos, it may take a while to load all them all.

💡 This application isn't just limited to conversion and compression tasks. It also offers additional modules such as "Downloader", "Recorder", "GIF Maker", and "Toolbox", which offer extra functionality if you're interested in exploring further.

💡 HEVC (aka H.265) and VP9 are two advanced video compression standards and successors to the widely used H.264 and VP8, which offer up to 50% better data compression at the same level of video quality. Roughly speaking, it's considered as the lossless conversion when you convert video to HEVC or VP9.

💡 If the compatibility is not a issue for you, AV1 video codec offers even higher compression efficiency over others, but it may need more encoding time at the current stage.

💡 In essence, the higher the video bit rate, the higher the quality of video. Either way can reduce QuickTime file size at the expense of sacrificing the video quality.

💡 It can batch compress your QuickTime videos in the conversion list, saving your time and effort.

⚠️ Note: This method adopts lossy compression, equivalent to lowering the bit rates. The smaller the file size, the worse the video quality. You have to keep the balance between the quality and file size.

💡 You have to know that resolution doesn't solely determine the video quality. But generally, a video with a higher resolution has better quality. Why? Because cameras usually record videos at a higher bit rate when the resolution is larger.

💡 Frame rate is the number of frames that are displayed per second in a video. A higher frame rate makes the video look smoother, especially in fast-moving scenes. But it also means a larger file size. By reducing the frame rate, you're decreasing the number of frames in the video, and thus reduce the file size.

⚠️ However, be aware that reducing the frame rate too much may make video look a bit choppy.

💡 Tips: You're not limited to just trimming one part. You can split QuickTime file into multiple parts if you want. And if you need to, later on, you can even merge multiple video clips into one. This is especially useful if you have a long video with some redundant or unimportant sections. By trimming it down, you can not only reduce the file size but also make the video more focused and engaging.

💡 Hardware acceleration (Intel QSV and Nvidia NVENC) is available for H264 and H265/HEVC encoding.

💡 The latest version of graphics card driver is required to utilize GPU acceleration.
