built a simple video compressor/trimmer because my screen recordings were always too huge to share.

As the title says, creating and sharing short videos on macOS or Windows has never been a smooth flow for me. I used to screen cap with QuickTime or the NVIDIA. The result were huge .mov or .mp4 file. Then I either need to upload a 600 MB file to an online compressor, open Handbrake, or use ffmpeg from the command line. Ffmpeg is great, but for quick everyday use, but I found myself loosing the text file where I keep the most useful commands to adjust parameters, and it's anying when there are silly error because I forgot a parameter. And if I wanted to trim the video, I usually had to open a separate video editor that take time to open and are sort of overkill for a simple trimming. So I built Compress.mov . The basic flow is simple: drag and drop a video, choose whether you want to trim it, compress it, or both, and get the result automatically saved in your computer. Over time I added more features: audio removal, video rotation, codec selection, video rescaling, multiple languages (german, farsi, japanese...), and a small counter that shows how many lifetime megabytes you’ve saved by using the Compress app. The latest feature I’m testing is video recording, so I don’t have to use QuickTime anymore! This started as a side project on my spare time, and I built it without an AI assistant, so it’s fully handmade 😃 You can try it at compress.mov for FREE and if you become a fun please purchase it at the windows store or App Store to help me stay motivated. submitted by /u/tino-latino [link] [留言]
