The one thing if you are wanting to reduce video size, after getting |
34 |
something that is the "just the right bits" video, send it as a HEVC |
35 |
encoded video. Generally it's h.264 once you have a "web" video, but I |
36 |
have found I can reduce to 1/20 to 1/50 often taking that to HEVC for a |
37 |
1080p video. And... You may not need/want it at that high a |
38 |
resolution. |
