Video Compression

Too big to send?
Compress it.

Use the available export settings to create another version of your video. A lower resolution may help reduce file size, depending on the source and encoding. Check the exported file before sharing.

WHY AIXCUT

Bring the file down to the size you need,
within a quality you can accept.

Compression is not about trading quality away for size. It brings the file down to what you need, within a range you can accept, and the video stays in the project for editing and export.

Compress around the job

Find the file size that fits sharing, a web page or an archive.

The trade-off is yours

From the compression level to advanced settings, you decide the quality and size you accept.

Finish your project afterwards

Once it is smaller, keep editing and exporting in the project.

FAQ

Before you compress,
a few things worth knowing.

A few questions about quality, file size and format.

Does compression lose quality?

Every compression is a trade-off. Aixcut keeps the loss as far out of sight as it can, and the harder you compress, the more visible the change.

Can a compressed video be restored?

No. Compression cannot be undone, so keep the original file.

Can I guarantee a particular upload limit?

Check the actual exported file size against the destination’s current limit before uploading.

What is compression for?

It brings a file down to the size a destination needs while keeping the video in the project for editing and export.

Compression shrinks the file, not the content.

At the right level, not a single shot has to come out.
