How to Compress a Video without Losing Quality [Reduce File Size]

In this video I'll show you how to compress a video without losing quality. These steps will show you how to reduce the file size as well and maintain quality.

First, you'll open up a web browser like Google and search for Handbrake. Go to the Handbrake website and download the application for your device. After downloading Handbrake, open the application and then select the video you want to compress.

When the video is in the program, you'll want to change your presets to make sure you're encoding the video to the quality you want and at the correct frame rate. I kept most of my settings the same as the standard with 1080p and 30 frames per second. I made sure the video was also encoding to H.264 and it would encode as an MP4 since it's the most compatible file with different programs.

Once you have all the settings correct, you'll want to select where to save the file, what to call it, and then you can click on the start encode button. It'll take a few minutes to encode the video and then after it's done, you'll have a compressed video that maintains it's high quality. This is a way you can also reduce the file size of your video.
