- Hey everyone, Alec here and here's how to compress
your video online for free.
Once you're on Veed's video compressor,
the link is in the description by the way,
you can click on upload your file
then we're just going to select the video
that we want to compress.
So I've got this video here and if I hover over it
with the mouse, as you can see, it's 319 megabytes
so I want to reduce the file size of this video.
If I click on it and I click open, it's then imported
into Veed's video compressor,
and depending on the file size and your internet speed,
this can take anywhere between a few seconds
to a few minutes.
So mine is just finished here because my internet
is reasonably fast and as you can see straight away
we can see a video in the compressor and if I press play,
'Hi everyone, Alec with Veed and in this video...'
We can actually see our video,
so this is a YouTube video of mine.
Just below this, we have a few specs of the actual video
and we can also see the current file size.
So here Veed is seen it as 335 megabytes.
Now we want to reduce this, so to compress this,
there are few things we can do.
[Alec] So first thing here to the left, as you can see,
we've got the compression tool with the slider.
Now, if we trying to reduce the file size by a lot,
we can slide it to the left
and this is going to compress our video a lot more
so we'll lose a lot more quality
but the file size will be very small.
If we slide it to the right, the higher the quality,
but the bigger the file size.
So if we take a look, as we slide we can actually see
the estimated compression size right here.
So if I slide it all the way to the right,
and it says my video is going to be anywhere
between 178 megabytes to 330 megabytes.
If I slide it, as I slide it you can see
all the way to the left
the estimated compressed size is reduced.
Now I'm gonna slide it all the way over to here
so I want it to be less than 100 megabytes.
Now you'll also notice here that
I've got the advanced settings option
and this allows me to just change the compression mode
between constant rate factor and bit rates.
And as you can see we've also got a slide
for the frames per second so if I wanted my video
to have 60 frames per second, I can slide it up to 60
and if I wanted it to have 10 frames per second,
which would be very choppy, you can also do that.
However I'm gonna revert back to the simple settings
and we're just gonna slide it
so it's less than a hundred megabytes.
Below that we can also adjust the resolution,
so currently my video is 1920 by 1080,
which is the original video's resolution
but we can change this if we want to post it
to a different platform or we just want to make it
a little bit smaller.
So for an example, I could reduce it to 1280 by 720
and again, the file size is also going to be reduced then
and this is still a decent resolution
for platforms such as Facebook and YouTube.
However, I'm gonna keep the original resolution
and just compress it to a third of its size.
So now if I click compressed video, Veed will then go ahead
and compress my video.
I do want to mention before we go ahead and compress,
if there's anything you want to remove from your video
you can actually click on this edit video button here
and this will allow you to cut split trim,
add text, subtitles, audio, and much much more
but I'll let you check that out for yourself.
So now we're just going to click compressive video
and as you can see, our video is now being compressed
and the estimated time remaining is under one minute left.
And again, this can vary depending
on your internet speed and your video file size.
So now as we can see our file finished being compressed
and if we take a look right here,
the file size has been reduced by 89% .
File size is now 35 megabytes and that's 299 megabytes
less than it was before.
So we've gone to 35 megabytes from 335 megabytes
which is a massive decrease in file size.
So now I can go ahead and download my video
but before I download it, I might want to preview it
and just take a look at the quality,
so if we press play here,
'Hi everyone Alec with Veed and in this video,
I'm going to...'
[Alec] As you can see the video has been compressed
and it's noticeable due to the fact that we can see
some pixels right here.
So if I wanted to up the quality a little bit,
I could go back and then reduce it by a little bit less
because 89% reduction in file size is huge.
So if I just reduced it by 50 I'm sure the quality
would be great and it wouldn't be noticeable
that it has been compressed.
So now I can just click download and I can download my video
with a reduced file size and again, you can also go through
and edit the video if you want.
So I'm just gonna click download and now my video
is downloaded to my computer and as we can see 34 megabytes
and that is how to reduce your video file size
using Veed's free online video compressor.
