Changing FPS AND resolution of video

Post by MatthewKinLA »

Hi all - Purchased a video that is TOO large when displayed on a browser and webpage. Possible to change the SIZE?

Also Frame Per Second is 29. Possible to adjust that as well?

Thanks ahead of time!

You can of course to change both the FPS and the size of the video. But it would be useful if you could open the clip in VS and right click it to choose Properties. Then post them here. That way we will know what might produce the best effect.

Size is largely governed by the bitrate that the format of the video has. If you only intend the video to be seen as a webpage or in a browser, you could lower the bitrate considerably. If the original is, say, 16,000 kbps you could try lowering it to, say, 5000 kbps or even lower. You could also lower the frame size to, say from 1920 x 1080 down 1280 x 720 or even smaller. But with any change, of course, you should then play it to see how the final quality is.

That especially goes for changing the frame rate. If the original video is 29.97 fps, and you want to lower it to, say, 25 fps, you need to be aware that VS essentially changes the frame rate by in effect throwing away 4.97 frames per second. Depending on what is in the video, this may make the video look a bit jerky, which you will certainly not want. Moreover, if changing bitrate and frame size already reduce the overall size of the video enough, then changing the frame rate is not really necessary.
