Recompressing video with Apple Compressor

- If you're a Mac user who's not using Adobe software, Apple offers its own video compression tool called Apple Compressor. You can find this in the Mac app store. Just type in compressor. This is an app available for sale, so you can purchase it if you'd like. When ready, simply click open to launch it. What you'll want to do is choose current and then simply add a file. This will bring up navigation. You can now navigate to the file that you want to optimize. Let's choose that eagle movie. Now you can choose what's going to happen with it. You'll notice that there are several presets built in, including video sharing services. This allows you to target different sizes. For example, perhaps I want to size that for HD at 720. You can also access custom if you want to build your own and save presets in here for use. I'll choose okay and it adds it. Additionally, if I needed more types of files, I could do that. I could drag something over like an Apple preset here for an IOS device…
