What the Video Compressor does
It re-encodes your video as an efficient H.264 MP4 and, if useful, lowers the resolution, which is the biggest single saving. Balanced usually cuts phone videos by 60–80% with no visible difference on a phone screen. Target file size calculates the bitrate needed to land just under a limit such as 25 MB for email, and picks a sensible resolution automatically.
Very short limits for long videos mean lower quality. As a rule of thumb, 25 MB holds about 3 minutes of 720p or about 6 minutes of 480p. If you only need part of the video, cut it first with the Video Trimmer.
