How to Compress QuickTime Videos Effortlessly?

Step 1 - Load Large-Sized QuickTime Video Files to Converter

Install and launchInstall and launch HD Video Converter Factory Pro, go to the "Converter" option. Click "Add Files" button to add your large-sized QuickTime videos from your local drive, or just conduct a drag-and-drop action. And all QuickTime videos will be successively added to the main interface after a short while.

Step 2 - Six Ways to Compress QuickTime Videos

Way 1. Choose an Advanced Encoder - HEVC or VP9

Press the "Format" image on the right side to expand 500+ optimized presets. Head over to "Video" category and select "H265 for MP4", "H265 for MKV" or "VP9", which offers up to 50% better data compression at the same level of video quality than the predecessors H.264 and VP8.

Way 2. Lower Video Bit Rates

Select a preferred output format, open "Parameter settings" window to reduce the video bit rates or change CBR to VBR, which will reduce QuickTime file size at the expense of sacrificing the video quality.

Way 3. Move Batch Compression Bar

Select a preferred output format, then click on "Batch compression" icon on the bottom of the program to activate the feature. Once the icon becomes orange, move the slider to the right side to increase the compression ratio to batch compress QuickTime videos.

Note: This way is equivalent to decreasing video bit rates for sacrificing video quality. You have to keep the balance between the video quality and file size.

Way 4. Downscale QuickTime Video Resolution

Select a preferred output format, then you can move the slider along the "Quick setting" bar underneath the Format Profile section to downscale video resolution from 8K to 4K, 4K to 2K, 4K to 1080p or 1080p to 720p. Alternatively, you can also open "Parameter settings" window to change video resolution to make QuickTime videos smaller.

Note: You have to know that resolution doesn't determine the video quality. But a video with higher resolution generally has a better quality, because cameras always record video at a higher bit rate for the larger resolution.

Way 5. Decrease Frame Rate

If the QuickTime videos are shot in 60fps or higher, after you choose a desired export format, open "Parameter settings" window and change the frame rate to 24fps or 30fps, which can also reduce size of QuickTime video to a large extent.

Way 6. Trim Unnecessary Parts from QuickTime Videos

Choose a desired export format, then click "Scissors" icon on the editing toolbar to open "Trim" windows. Move the two sliders to select the desired video segment, or input start time and end time for fine-tuning, then click Trim button. You're allowed to split QuickTime file into multiple parts. If needed, you can also merge multiple video segments together later.

Step 3 - Start QuickTime Video Compression

Once you choose any method, specify an output folder on the bottom. Finally, hit "Run" button to start to compress QuickTime movies at a fully hardware-accelerated speed.
