Video compressor express 4+

THIS. IS. AWESOME. absolute must!

Probably most useful app for those who need to reduce the size of their iCloud Photo Library My use case: Step 1) On a macOS (can be even a virtual machine, you don’t need to make Apple rich if you don’t enjoy macOS UI) you open Photos app, then export your photos to your self-hosted storage (CIFS or your preferred clod storage). You can do this as well without a mac, using File Explorer app or even the native Files app - the idea is to offload your originals away from iCloud Step 2) Open this app and compress all videos, then delete all originals. This way you can keep your memories in iCloud but at an efficient space utilisation ratio. Anytime you need the original (but seriously... do you ever need that?!), look it up in your non-iCloud storage ;)

Elegant and quick, Thank you!

After having demoed maybe 10+ compression apps I decided to try this one. Love the option to choose which codec I want to use. Great that it remembers my settings and the fact that it has the option to save the MetaData from the original file is spot on!!! Well done. For this who are wondering what MetaData is: It allows apps like Photos to know when and where the video was taken. Most apps don’t keep this information when compressing a video, the result of overwriting metadata is that compressing a video you took in 2020 will now appear in photos as if it were taken today. This app provides an option that solves that problem 🙌 looking forward to updates, keep up the great work

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your feedback! There are still lots of features coming so stay tuned.

Won’t compress in iPad Pro 2020

App display and play video fine, just like anything else. When asked to compress it will just quit/ crashes (on iPad Pro 2020).

Revision;
It works on most of the video files, but stumbles once in a while...
