Video is a visual multimedia source. It basically a series of frames that contains data related to displaying these visual content over time. XConvert support compressing of MP4 with H.264 and H.265 and WebM with VP8 and VP9. The main factor in compression is called the Constant Rate Factor. Constant Rate Factor or CRF is a rate control (quality/file size) for VP8/VP9 and H.264/H.264. Lower values of CRF produce large file sizes but has higher quality. This is where XConvert's Presets comes in handy, you can set the preset to a slower one to compress large high-quality outputs.

You can compress a video (.mp4 and .webm) by setting Constant Rate Factor (a General Option) to ~20 and Preset to medium to get an amazing quality compressed video.
Another way to compress Video files is to resize them to a smaller size. You can use the Resize dropdown on Output Dimension section to select a Preset Resolotions such as 8k, 4K, 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p, 240p, and other non-standard options to reduce video width and height.
