Compress MP4 video for captivate

Dear all

 

I need to compress an MP4 of 700mb to under 150mb for uploading to an MLE.  I have ME and have tried some experiments, all of which look pretty rough.  I have used Handbrake before with superb results.  For this project I can't use handbrake for security reasons.  Does anyone have any advice for setting?  I tried H.264 and for some reason it would not compress.

 

Best wishes

Hi stephenw30516810,

 

For better compression, you may use HEVC (H.265) format. Also, reducing the Target Bitrate (under Export Settings > Video tab > Bitrate Settings) can help in reducing the file size.

 

Thanks,

Sumeet
