But you should know that this method has limited effect on reducing video size.
Changing Bit Rate
Normally, the smaller video you want, the lower bit rate. The bit rate also controls the image quality. Please mind that the image will totally be destroyed if the bit rate is too low.
Changing the Resolution of the Video
The resolution of any file determines its size as well as quality. If you are aiming to reduce file size, reducing the resolution with a video resolution reducer will do the trick.
Changing Frame Rate
Changing frame rate is another aspect which can be considered while reducing video file size. The frame rate is directly related to file size and thus reducing one will directly affect the other.
Aside from the above solutions, you can also reduce video file size by removing unwanted parts from your video. To achieve that, you can use the in-built video editor feature in UniConverter.
