How do I compress a video or make it smaller in size?

There are many different video editing tools available to reduce the size (MB) of exported videos. One of the tools we recommend is a free download called Handbrake.

Here's how to compress a video in Handbrake:

1) Click Open Source and select a video file for compression.

The encoding process might take a few minutes. A progress bar will appear at the bottom and a pop-up message will appear when finished.
