MP4 videos can be playback on virtually any device that support video playback. To reduce the file size to a percentage of the original file size, you can select the <strong>File size percentage (best)<\/strong> option shown below. While it is highly recommended to keep aforementioned option selected, you can play with other options such as <strong>Preset with CRF<\/strong>. Use Contant Rate Factor (CRF) to reduce file size. General rule is higher the CRF value lower the file size and quality of the video. We recommend you setting CRF to a number between 25 &#8211; 35, which generally reduces file size and has good quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"522\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-10-at-9.31.39\u202fPM-1024x522.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-238\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-10-at-9.31.39\u202fPM-1024x522.png 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-10-at-9.31.39\u202fPM-300x153.png 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-10-at-9.31.39\u202fPM-768x392.png 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-10-at-9.31.39\u202fPM-1536x783.png 1536w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-10-at-9.31.39\u202fPM-2048x1044.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Set Auto Scale (Optional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep this toggle button enabled and we will do the work to produce the best quality video.
