How to Compress Video Without Losing Quality | Handbrake Tutorial

Hi everyone! Kevin here. Today, I want to show you how you can make your video files smaller so they take up less space, allowing you to easily share them through various platforms.

Here we have two almost identical looking videos playing side by side, but one of them takes up significantly less space than the other. The difference lies in using a highly efficient compression algorithm, which we will explore how to apply to your videos using a free and open-source video transcoder called Handbrake.

To get started, download Handbrake, install it, and launch the application. From there, you can drag and drop your video file into the app to begin the compression process. Handbrake offers various settings and presets to help you reduce the file size while maintaining quality, such as selecting the format, resolution, encoder, audio codec, and more.

Once you've customized your settings or used one of the presets, you can preview the changes before encoding the entire video. After encoding, you can choose the destination for your compressed video file and start the process. Handbrake will work its magic, resulting in a smaller file size with comparable quality.

By following this tutorial, you can effectively compress your video files without compromising their quality, making it easier to share and store your videos.
