Video Compression Checklist

1. Classify the source

• Test screen recordings, camera footage, and animation clips in separate groups.
• Define your destination: social media, website, or internal sharing.

2. Optimize in sequence

Start with bitrate. If target size is still not met, reduce resolution next. Consider frame-rate reduction as the last step to avoid unnecessary quality loss.

For implementation, use Video Compressor and start with a medium preset before comparing output quality.

3. Final checks before publishing

• Any blocking artifacts or color banding in critical scenes?
• Is audio sync preserved on longer videos?
• If GIF output is needed, did you test direct video-to-GIF export?

For short animated output, also test Video to GIF.
