SIDE NOTE: If the production standard preset does not work for you and you want to compress the file size even more, then I would recommend using another output format such as Fast 1080p30 or Very Fast 1080p30. This should do the trick for normal video use 😊 Any questions just let me know.
After viewing several youtube tutorials on compressing videos using handbrake I found these are the right settings to use. Thank you.
That is great to hear! Super happy the video was of help. Thank you for watching :)
Thank you so much, it worked perfectly!!!!
Thank you, Kelsie! Your explanation is incredibly detailed. You're an excellent teacher!
thank you so much, i have terrible internet so i have to use a lot of bitrate in my recording software so this helped a LOT
Thanks for the video! Already have the program, but needed a refresher on how to properly reduce files sizes again.
Handbrake has a lot of features so it can be hard to remember everything’s purpose but I’m glad the video was of help!
Thanks so much for this! It's been a while since I had to use it and this was a great, concise review. Great job :)
That is awesome to hear - glad the video could be of help!
thank you!!
Really good stuff
WoW.. Very good to know info. Thanks for sharing ! 👍
Handbrake is a secret gem! I’m glad you found the video useful - thanks for the comment ☺️
Just what I needed. Thanks!
That is great to hear!
Great! Thank you very much!
Glad it helped! 😊
Good job. Thanks for this awesome information!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!😀
hii great content, i have full 4k 60 hz videos but my phone doesnt take them for instgram uploads, which settings i should put for them? thanks
Simple language, simple tutorial, thank you! There is a subtitles tab also in there, is there a way that Handbrake can generate subtitles that can be extracted as a separate file? Thnx😍
Thanks, great video really. But I have a question , after encoding the video was 90 degree rotated , can u help me with this ?
Thanks for the no nonsense tutorial,simple and straight to the point.
Woo glad the video helped! 😊
This really helped! Thanks!
You are welcome! I'm happy to hear that the vid was of help 😊🙌
thank uou!
Good video, to the point. Easy to follow. Will the compressed video work when uploaded to youtube?
All compressed videos will be suitable to upload/watch to CZcams. It might be worthwhile using the CZcams/Vimeo presets though, as Handbrake optimises the video especially for those platforms. P.S I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful and straightforward😊
Thank you, I'll give it a try😊
I
Glad the video was of help ☺️ Let me know how you get on!
Thank YOU very much!!!
YOUR welcome! Glad the vid helped 🙌🏻🤩
While viewing the preview for a preset, it shows at the top like 86 percent of the original size , is it the resultant size of the file i am gonna get? Plz tell.
It worked well for me. Thank you so much
Woohoo I'm glad it worked😊
Great Video. Majorly underrated.
Thank you! That means a lot🙌🏻
Even though your settings did not work out for me since it made bigger my video, I tried with other settings and then I got the size I needed. Ty so much for this awesome video!
Wooo! I'm glad you found the right settings for you😊 Thanks for the comment!
Your environment lighting is superb 👍
Thank you very much. ♥✨
You're welcome 😊💖
Great hack,thanks 👊🔥🔥🔥
😁🎉
Million thanks Kelsie for flagging up this amazing application. Thank you so much for your tutorial. Best wishes.
You're welcome 😊 Thank you for your lovely comment - it means a lot. All the best 🙌
ty so much
Glad I could help! 😊
Thanks.
Welcome! 😊
Thanks, I'm new to Handbrake and looking tips.
JW, can Handbrake merge multiple videos while compressing them at the same time? I'm trying to make one long family video out of 4 or 5 videos.
Thanks again.
I don't believe you are able to merge videos in Handbrake - I'm afraid (unless there is a secret feature that I am not aware of!😅). It is probably best to compile the videos together in an editing software first, export the entire video and then compress the final file.
@FeverDaysCreatives thanks, I've come to that realization as well.
But I compress them first using Handbrake, then use VideoPad to merge them together. Seems faster this way to batch compress all the files first so they don't take as long to merge them later.
Thanks again 😃
thanks
You're welcome!
hello there! your video is very helpful but can you please helpme how can I edit the whole folder with like 20 videos in it? i tried drag drop the folder but folder showing empty so I need to edit 1 by 1. thank you so much in advance
When compressing more than a single file, like when the source choice is "File". Only the first video will appear in the "title" field. To accomplish what you're describing we have to bring the Queue into the process. Just to the right of the open source button there is a button that read " Add to queue". Pressing the arrow on the left edge if the "Title" field reveals all the titles in the folder, but Handbrake can only process them one at a time. This is where the Add to button comes in. Work your way down the file list, and when that title shows in the Title field, press the Add to Queue button. To the left of the Start Encode button you'll find a Queue button. Open that to double check you've selected all the files desired. If that looks OKay, feel free to use the Start Queue button on the left side of the Queue list. Hope this helps.
^ Perfect explanation! 🙌
@@FeverDaysCreatives Sometimes it takes a village. The video has taught this ole dawg some new tricks as well.
You earned my subscribe, and you are cute :) you also have a habit of saying "but" in my case i say "so" in my vlogs hahaha
Aw how kind of you - thank you! 😀 Haha repeating filler words like "but" has become a bad habit! It is probably a nervous thing too, as I am still working on my camera confidence.
I downloaded Handbrake and used this tutorial to get a 802MB file compressed down to a feathery 709MB file. Maybe the 1080p30 will work better.
mine just becomes some code or something it doesnt become a video
Hello! I recorded a class at my yoga studio. It is 6.95GB, my software where I can rent out videos of our classes only allows 10MB. I've used your tutorial but it only reduced it to 5.04GB. How do I get it even smaller, without losing quality? Is that even possible? Thank You!!!
Hey! 6.95GB to 10MB is a hefty jump but if you try another output setting such as Very Fast 1080p30 or Fast1080p that should reduce it. Alternatively you can also put the compressed version through Handbrake a second time to try and get the size right down. Hopefully this works for you - let me know how you get on. P.S I'm a yoga fan so Namaste :)
if u have a gpu nvidia or amd its better, just select x264 nvenc o amd and process faster.
Good tip - thanks for sharing!
I am the same problems but on my Google. Mobile phone, can you help?? Kindest regards John Moore
Hey John, this depends which phone/operating system you are using. If you are trying to compress videos/photos on your phone I would recommend apps like Shrink.Media, Image Size - Photo Resizer, Capcut etc.
how can you tilt the layers ?
Not sure I understand your question. Please could you explain a little more?
How about a 3 hour long video with 7 GIGA BYTE size. Will it be fast to compress the video
You can still compress longer videos in Handbrake however depending on your computer spec and output preset, it may impact your overall processing time. I suspect your encoding time will be quite slow due to the duration of the video!
Applied same process, thats increase video size even from my original video,from 98Mb to 266 Mb.
bro u upscaled from a lower resolution like 720p to 1080p
Please help me.....i compressed my video but it reduced my fps 😢
My file went from 687 mb to only 563 mb (2160p 1 min video) any idea why? How can I make it smaller even more? The video is 2160p 25 fps only a 1 minute and it's not making sense to be 563 mb
Same for me. Went from 67mb to 176mb.
Hmm that's strange. To compress it further you could opt for another preset (such as Vimeo CZcams HQ 2160p60 4K:), choose the H.265 encoder (as H.265 files tend to be smaller and more compressed than H.264), or increase the RF number on the constant quality slider. Sometimes settings aren't a one-size-fits-all but adjusting the above should help your files become even smaller!
@@FeverDaysCreatives Will try so when I can and I will update here how it went. Thank you!
@@user-zy7qn2hm8y how was it going on? I have similar issue my file weights 182mb and last 2 minutes, it's OBS recording with bitrate 16000kb and all what I got using Handbrake was 90 mb instead of 182mb. I'm curious how to reduce it 10x times or more. I used different programs and I got approximately the same size after compressing. If I want to compress more I will start losing quality.
CZcams is video compression @@user-yy2bg1bn2e
thank you you will make me famous!
Hahah I hope so!
Hello,
I follow the tutorial as in the video, but the video size jumps from 800 mo to 2,4Go?!!
Hey! I’m not too sure which file size metric you mean by ‘mo’ and ‘go’ but if you want your file to be compressed even smaller then it might be worth playing around with the output preset settings. If production standard doesn’t work, you could try one of the other presets eg Fast1080p or VeryFast1080p. That should do the trick!
i have tried it that way. i put it standard it brought my from 3gb to 6gb on fast and i even lowered it to slow. still it went up higher. i can't get my files lower then 500mb
If the production standard preset isn't as effective for you, then you could try one of the other presets eg Fast1080p or VeryFast1080p. This should help get your file size super low!
I have tried everything. it makes them even larger. if you put it on snails pase for 1 to 3 gbs it puts it too 530 mb for 3 and half days. Even in small files like you did in your video. it puts 70 mb to 120 mb for 10 to 7 minute video with the same settings. Even on a slow pase. i don't know how you did it. Even on the smallest preset. @@FeverDaysCreatives
I just tried this and tripled the size of the videos I've tried and is not reducing them at all.
Hmm strange, those settings have always produced a smaller file size for me! 🤔 Try changing the encoding preset from production standard to Discord Nitro. There are different Discord Nitro presets based on your video duration and resolution but overall they are all designed to produce super super small file sizes so that should work. Hopefully this works for you, let me know how you get on!
@Fever Days Creatives This is very frustrating. I'll try your suggestion an see what happens.
I use the exact same preset but my video just went down from 980ish mb to 780mb. Dunno where I go wrong.
You did nothing wrong, there's no way a 1gb video drop down to 30mb without major quality loss lol. Check other peoples comments the people who actually tried have the same problem.
My file went from 156mb to 301mb, any assistance please?
Try use another output format such as Fast1080
My file went twice as large using your settings
Started as 722mb now 1.2gb
Geto
I don't know why they always put slow videos for the final result, because they don't test with videos of many movements, for example with bushes or trees, that's where the final result is seen, if it is not pixelated. so dislike
I have used these settings on action scenes (sports, dance etc) before and they have worked just fine for me. I only included one video example as I didn't want the tutorial to go on for too long, but I will take your feedback on board for next time and show different examples!
I don't know why, but in all the video tutorials on the tube, the things you show have nothing to do with reality! file size 157 MB. I could barely get it down to 139mb. and with an obvious loss of quality!
Hm that is strange, these settings have worked fine for me over the years. If not, you can try use another output preset such as Fast 1080p30 - that should bring the file size right down.
The same, it doesn't shrink my video enough. What if it depends of what specification your PC has?
Great! Thank you very much!
So glad it worked for you! 😊🎊
