Can I reduce video file size on iPad?

Is there an iOS app - iMovie for instance - that will allow me to reduce video file size on my iPad, without having to use a computer?

There are various Apps in the App Store that will compress a video file, try search on Video Slimmer or Video Compression.  Another option is to use a different App for recording the video in the first place; I use MoviePro quite extensively, it allows 5 different presets for resolution, bit rate etc. for recording video.

  • How can I reduce video file size?

    I have a WMV file (4.6 MB) that has a bad sound track. I started a new Premiere project and placed the MP4 file, split the audio track, and used Audition to fix the problems with the sound.
    Then I opened the file in Media Encoder (2014) and I've tried numerous settings to export the file as MP4, AVI, or WMV. My exported WMV is 40MB. The MP4 is 108MB. The AVI was over 1GB.
    I've tried reducing the frame rate to 10fps. I've used various HD 720p presets. No matter what I do, the smallest file I've been able to create is 10 times the size of the original.
    Clearly I'm doing something wrong.
    I know a fair amount about audio, but very little about video. After several hours of searching online resources, all I have is more questions.
    It's there a Media Encoder for Dummies section?
    Thanks.

    Thanks, Joost, but I see no setting for bandwidth. Here's what I see and the resulting (11 minute) file is 76 MB when the source file was less than 5MB. Output is down to 10fps and audio is mono and downsampled to AM-radio quality. Clearly I am not seeing something that I should see.

  • How can I reduce the file size of 3 videos?...

    ...without losing quality? These three videos are as follows in terms of size and length of the video:
    1) 148MB 19minutes
    2) 357MB 18minutes
    3) 164MB 14minutes
    I tried using a video converter to reduce the bit rate in order to reduce the size, which i know affects the quality, but that did not actually work to reduce the file size this time.
    I thought perhaps i should ask my forum friends for help on this matter. How,if at all, can I get all three of these MOV's under 100mb or to a total of 300mb for all 3 and preserve quality? It has to be able to play on an ipad (MOV or MP4). Thanks for your help!

    I think that the point that David was trying to make is that reducing the amount of information originally provided by a product or part of it in order to make it smaller will inevitably reduce the efficiency of the product itself.
    However, you don't have access to the original masters? Then you might be after a good compromise, meaning a video that can display decent quality while playing at its original frame size (say on the web).
    Does this mean that there is no real way to reduce the size without losing quality?
    If your target is the web there is a way to reduce the file size and still make it look decent enough. Re-compression means loss of source information but video compression is an art on its own and can produce some amazing results!
    Not without testing though.
    Now back to my previous post, use Compressor to try to reduce the file size and compare the result quality. Trust your eyes and be honest with yourself.

  • Reducing Pages file size on iPad

    I produce a 12 page newsletter comprising text/photo mix for a charity.  Unfortunately the file size saved as PDF was almost 20mb which seemed enormous for the content involved.  I put the photos through a file size reducer and reimported them but this saved only 4mb.  I can't email the document to the majority of subscribers as its so big.  How can I urgently and drastically  reduce the file size on an iPad so I can send it.?

    An other explanation may be the way Pages store characters.
    Most of the characters available in the old ASCII set are stored as is using a single byte.
    Some of them "&" for instance are stored as a descriptive string requiring several bytes.
    & is stored as &amp;
    Every other characters require six to eight bytes.
    é is stored as &#xE9;
    œ is stored as &#x153;
    ᴂ is stored as &#x1D02;

  • How can I reduce the file size of a pdf when exporting?

    I don't want to just choose between high quality print or smallest file size.
    I want to export it from 60MB to 40MB.
    Can I do this manually? When I use smallest file size the quality is too low and the content looks bad.
    But high quality print exports my PDF at 60MB which is too big.

    You cannot simply legislate the size of a PDF file. If you content is primarily text and vector, there is not much at all you can do to reduce PDF file size other than to cut out content. Otherwise, the only other variables are those of downsampling and compressing the raster images from your content.
    You must be very careful in choosing the PDF export settings. The “smallest size” settings yield PDF files that realistically really are not fit for printing and may mess up any CMYK colors. The “high quality print” and “PDF/X-4” settings yield best print output, but yield the largest PDF files since they do less image resolution downsampling and only the maximum quality lossy JPEG compression.
    I would recommend that you start with either the “high quality print” or the “PDF/X-4” settings and make a custom set of export settings. Assuming that you aren't going for offset or gravure printing, change the color image and grayscale image downsampling values from 300 and 450 to either 200 and 275 or no less than 150 and 225. If that doesn't give enough file size reduction, change the compression image quality from “Maximum” to either “High” or no less than “Medium.” Beyond these changes, you may end up with PDF files that will neither print nor display with any reasonable quality.

  • How can I reduce the file size when PDF Optimizer does not do much?

    I have a PDF form that exists of 48 pages. 44 pages are forms / have form fields, the other 4 are just informative. Each form-page has approx. 80 fields (checkboxes, text fields).
    When I started setting up the PDF form the file size was 12 MB and I had placed fields on 21 pages. Then with 34 pages the file size was 19 MB. And with 40 pages it was 35 MB big! Finally with 44 pages the file size is 34 MB.
    So I searched with Google and found some tips. Using the "PDF Optimizer" option inside Acrobat for example. So I did, and the file was reduced only with 3 MB... 31 MB was the file. Also used the option "Save as.... Optimized".... no difference. I also found a suggestion about removing embedded fonts. Using the "Audit Space Usage" option I noticed the fonts taking many MegaBytes:
    * Content Streams: 5.287.000     15,09 %
    * Fonts:                24.556.810     70,08 %  !!
    * Acrobat forms:      3.349.164    12,05 %
    In the older PDF version (I saved and kept this one too) with just 21 pages with form-fields, the  "Audit Space Usage" shows:
    * Content Streams: 5.292.000     40,14 %
    * Fonts:                 1.290.224     9,79 %
    * Acrobat forms:      1.588.758    12,05 %
    So I could save many many MegaBytes by -UnEmbedding- fonts. But if I do this (unembed ALL fonts), the file size stays almost the same!?!?!? Why? What can I do to reduce the file size? I would like it to be 8 MB if possible (32 MB -  24 MB = 8 MB)?
    Thank you for your help!

    If you have authored the form, reduce the number of different fonts for the content and form fields.
    Any font used in a form field will cause that font to be embedded into the PDF.
    If you are going to Optimize the PDF be very careful with forms. Optimization does a lot of removal of items and rearranging of items which can really mess up forms.

  • How can I reduce the file size when saving a psd as a pdf

    I have a psd with graphics and text, it is 8.5 x 11, 300 ppi
    I flatten the image and go to save as .pdf I un-check all of the options in general.
    In compression, I have tried a dozen different combinations and the way I've found to get a document that is not pixelated or blurry is to use jpeg 2000 > lossless or jpeg > maximum.
    So I have a high quality document but the file sizes are around 900 kb.
    I have downloaded other people's documents of the exact same type and size (8.5 x 11, 300 ppi) that I am making and viewed them in Photoshop, they are not pixelated or blurry and their file sizes are 300 kb or even less than 200 kb
    How are they doing this?!

    Delete all unused, invisible layers.
    Sometimes zip compression is better than jpg compression (in the pdf output settings). Zip is lossless, and works better with non gradient colour or no images.
    Flattening the image before you save it to pdf can reduce the file size if you are using jpg compression.
    Post a preview of your pdf and we can comment further on how to reduce the file size.

  • How can I reduce the file size rendered by After Effects?

    When I render a relatively simple 5 second project in After Effects, the file size of the resultant .avi is 64MB.  If I change the properties to reduce the file size, the degradation makes the file unusable.  What am I doing wrong?

    Is AE's encoder really that inefficient? 
    The thing is, AVI doesn't mean much.
    It's pretty much an empty container box, which doesn't imply a quality level.
    So, AME could default to something completely different as a starting point to produce an AVI file.
    AE defaults to uncompressed video when you pick AVI as a format. So, obviously this produces huge file sizes. There could be similar quality thresholds with smaller sizes if you pick other AVIcodecs, but that's a different subject. And in any case, when you're rendering a production quality master,  file size is usually not your main concern. You typically use this high quality video file as a source for compressed flavors for distribution. So, pristine video files with huge sizes are a good thing - people then wonder why trailers at apple.com, for instance look so good. And the thing is, the most compressed formats benefit enormously from having an uncompressed file as a source.
    Regarding encoding efficiency, yes, AE is less efficient than dedicated encoding solutions. Above all, because it doesn't support 2 pass encoding. Note that for some formats, 2 pass makes a night and day difference, while for others, nothing as drastic as most users seem to believe.
    All of this is a moot point for AVI, because the default AVI codecs don't offer these encoding options, which are more the realm of distribution formats like FLV, MPEG-4/H264 or WMV.
    There are distribution codecs which use AVI as a container out there, but those are a different case.

  • Reducing video file size - help!

    Hi all,
    I've produced an 11min film for my company which has come out at 150mb when converted from F4V to WMV format (which is the format our SharePoint system prefers). However, it's too bit!
    So the question is, what can I do when exporting the video from Premiere Pro to ensure it's as small as possible? Adjust the format? Bit rates? etc etc. The frame width has already been reduced to 640 x 340 pixels. I've looked at other posts, but each question is so different.
    Apologies, I'm stil so new to all this and I'm sure I'm asking the most basic questions.
    Thanks all
    Ashley

    There are only two things that effect file size, bitrate and duration.  Format, resolution, frame rate, etc. won't have any effect.
    And this makes sense if you think about it.  Files are measured in bits, so...bits per second x number of seconds = file size.  Whether 1920 x 1080 or 640 x 360, it's still bits per second x number of seconds.

  • Reducing video file size?

    How do I reduce file size of videos, made on imac or camera import? They
    are too large for emailing, and uploading to utube is too slow.

    YouTube can be kinda slow. Were you trying to use Share > YouTube from inside iMovie? I don't use Share>YouTube to upload it to their website because I've had it freeze up or take extra long to finish.
    Instead I save the video project out to the desktop. Use Share > Export Movie... Then choose Medium or Large, and let it roll until it's done. Then open the YouTube website and upload it through their webpage directly. That's going to be quicker than trying to do the same thing from iMovie. And you don't have to try and jam it through an email system either.

  • How can I reduce the file size of my .cp project file?

    I am working in CP3 and creating training programs via computer simulations.  Generally I try to eliminate any unnecessary animation in my slide (use of scroll bars, drop down menus etc.) because these seemed to increase my file size.  I do have audio narration on almost every slide and I know that this helps to bump up my size.
    Here's what I found to be so odd.
    I have to create a new training module and I simply opened one of my .CP projects and did a SAVE AS with a new file name.  I reduced the number of slides from 25 to 3.  The three slides I kept are the title slide, closing slide and one slide that I'll call a content slide that has the color for my highlight boxes and text formatting.  (I keep the content slide so I can simply copy and paste the boxes as I need them.)  I removed all the audio.  Finally I saved the new project.  Imagine my surprise when the new file is 96,333 KB with only 3 slides, no audio and no animation.  This is almost the same size as the original file.  I published my 3-slide project, thinking it might change the size, but that was wishful thinking.
    I telelcommute from my home and I am required to check these files out of a secured document library each time I need to update them.  The upload time is KILLING ME!
    What am I doing wrong?  The Information section shows the file size as 783.9KB which seems more in line with what I would expect.
    Any help, as always is appreciated.

    Hi BIMB,
    Here's my guess, others can correct if I'm way off.
    What you see as the file size under the Cp4 Storyboard View Information is what the published file size would be sans any unused pics, audio, or swfs. So it should be relatively small given you only have 3 slides in your project.
    What you see as the 'save as' version reflects all of the pics, audio, and/or .swfs you still have in your project's library.
    Now if you've actually removed the audio files and pics from the Cp Library, then I'm not sure.
    Curious to know if this helps,
    Keith

  • How can I reduce the file size in Adobe Reader 9?

    My wordpress isn't allowing me to upload files larger than 2MB. How do I resize my PDF in Adobe Reader 9 so that it is <2MB?
    Thank you very much for the help!

    In Acrobat, open a PDF file.
    -Choose Document > Reduce File Size.
    -Select Acrobat 8.0 And Later for file compatibility, and click OK.
    When you choose the compatibility level, be aware that the newer the version of Acrobat that you choose, the smaller the file. If you choose compatibility with Acrobat 9, however, you should be sure that your intended audience does indeed have version 9 installed.
    Name the modified file. Click Save to complete the process.
    It is always a good idea to save a file using a different name so that you don't overwrite an unmodified file.
    Acrobat automatically optimizes your PDF file, a process that may take a minute or two. Any anomalies are displayed in the Conversion Warnings window. If necessary, click OK to close the window.
    Minimize the Acrobat window. View the size of the reduced file. The file size is smaller.
    You can repeat steps stated above using different compatibility settings to see how they affect file size. note that some settings might actually increase the file size.
    PDF Optimizer offers more opportunities to control quality trade-offs.
    Choose File > Close to close your file.

  • How can I reduce movie file size?

    In the previous version of iMovie it was possible to significantly reduce file size in order to post it on a webpage.  I'm not seeing those options in the new version of iMovie.  Am I missing something?  It's simply impractical to try to post very large files for perhaps a one minute video.  Tom

    First up 1024 x 768 is a little bizarre, that's neither PAL nor NTSC!
    Widescreen video on a computer display is 1040 x 576 (for square pixels).
    If you want to make it auto run on a DVD it will be scaled to fit because DVD's don't play video back at anything other than PAL or NTSC resolution. For a computer display (which would be much better for this strange resolution) then use QTPro or FCP to export it using the H264 Codec or Sorenson 3 and this will compress it. Compressing without reducing quality is not going to happen, it just depends on how much you compress it and how much you don't notice the difference, compression by definition is lossy. I would keep the video bit rate up above 1000 kbps.
