The resolution of a video determines the size in height and width that the video will be created in. Generally, higher the resolution, sharper the video quality. While lower the video resolution, smaller the video file size. Therefore, downscaling video resolution is one of the most effective ways to reduce file size.
Step 1. Open HD Video Converter Factory Pro and select Converter. Next, click + Add Files to import source videos. Or you can drag and drop the files into the program directly.
Step 2. Enter the output format library by hitting the right-side output format image and select one output profile. You can also keep the MOV format unchanged.
Step 3. Go to the Quick setting below and drag the bar to your preferred resolution, e.g., convert 4K to 2K, downscale 1080p to 720p, and so forth. Also, you can open the Parameter settings to customize resolution for your MOV video.

Video bitrate also has great impact on file size as it determines the amount of video data transferred per second. Thus, lower bitrate means less data is transferred and smaller file sizes. However, lower bitrate also degrades the video quality.
Step 1. Launch HD Video Converter and add your source MOV file(s).
Step 2. Select the needed output format from the right-side format library.
Step 3. Change video bitrate to a lower value in Parameter settings. You can also switch the CBR (Constant Bitrate) mode to VBR (Variable Bitrate) mode and then move the slider to low quality. Because VBR can adjust the rate depending on the complexity of video content, which will save storage space. Click OK to save the changes.
Step 4. Press Run to start compression.
Frame rate is another important factor affecting your MOV video file size. Frame rate, also referred to “frames per second” or “FPS”, means how quickly a number of frames appears within a second. This gives us the illusion of movement. It should be noted that the standard frame rate for movies and TV shows is 24fps. If the frame rate is too low, the video will look choppy. Let’s see how to compress a MOV file on Windows 10 by reducing frame rate as follows:
Step 1. Run HD Video Converter and load MOV videos into the program.
Step 2. Hit the right-side format image and select your preferred output format.
Step 3. Go to Parameter settings. You can either select an optimized frame rate from the drop-down list, customize another frame rate, or change VFR to CFR.
Step 4. Click Run to start compression.
