Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,960
Video files are a bit like suitcases. The bigger they are, the more difficult they are to carry
2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,840
around and to store. But what if I told you that there was a way that you can pack all of your
3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:15,120
video content into a smaller, more manageable file size? Well, in this breakdown video, I'm going
4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:20,480
to be showing you how you can compress your video files into smaller file sizes without losing
5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:35,360
any of your original image quality. In order to encourage your videos into smaller,
6
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,840
manageable file sizes, you'll need to run them through a software called Handbrake first.
7
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:45,120
Originally created for ripping DVDs, Handbrake is a free open source software that you can
8
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,880
use to transcode, convert to other formats and even resize your own video files. The app itself
9
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:56,320
is compatible with Windows, Max and Linux operating systems and it supports a variety of different
10
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:01,200
video code acts which I will show you later on in the video. But enough of my Rumble, let's jump
11
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,680
straight into the breakdown. So obviously the very first thing that we need to do is to go ahead and
12
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,640
download and install Handbrake and I'll leave a link in the description of the direct link that
13
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,200
you can go ahead and download it. So after it's been installed, you'll see that the app will appear
14
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:20,640
with a pineapple and cocktail glass as it's icon. I have literally no idea why the developers chose
15
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:26,240
that icon, but it's kind of a vibe I have to admit, it looks cute on the desktop. Anyway, once you
16
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:31,120
open the program, you'll see that you get the option to either upload one singular file or an
17
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:36,560
entire folder. For the purpose of this video, I'm going to be focusing on just one single video clip,
18
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,520
but just before I import it, note that the video that I'm about to import is around one gigabyte
19
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,320
in file size because we'll come back to this a little bit later. After importing, you'll be able
20
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:51,680
to see all of your clip property details such as the resolution, the frame rate, the audio tracks
21
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,960
and so on and so forth. Now to break down the initial interface, the very first important button
22
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:02,480
is this preset tab here. This is where you have the option to select a preset based on your
23
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,360
output format and I'm going to go all the way to the bottom here and select production standard
24
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,400
as this is typically the best for professional video editing workflows and this is suggested by
25
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:18,320
handbrake themselves, so that's normally what I go for. For format, I'm going to leave this to MP4
26
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:23,200
and I'm going to make sure that web optimised and alinev are ticked as these are the best for
27
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,960
social media videos and that's typically what I tend to create. In the dimensions tab, you can crop
28
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,000
or change the resolution of your video but I'm going to skip past this for now, likewise for the
29
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,560
filters as well. For the purpose of this context, you probably won't need it but it's there if you do.
30
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,880
Now for the important part, the video tab. Firstly, in this video encoder drop down, you can see that
31
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,960
you have lots of different video codecs that you can choose from. I'm just going to keep this
32
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:55,120
to H264 as this is the most compatible video codec nowadays but these other options are something
33
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:00,080
to be aware of. For frame rate, if it isn't already selected, then make sure it is set to
34
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,520
same the source and that the constant frame rate is also ticked. Then on the right hand side here,
35
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,000
you'll see that you have this quality slider, so if we drag it all the way to the left, you'll see
36
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,120
that the number increases and if we drag it all the way to the right, the number decreases.
37
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:20,160
Now this is essentially a quality slider, so the further to the right you go, the bigger your
38
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:25,280
file size will be and the better quality you will have in your image. But the further to the left
39
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,400
you go, the smaller your file size will be, so there will be a loss in quality. Now I've played
40
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,800
around with these settings a little bit and I've found that 22 seems to be the good sweet spot for
41
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:41,840
me but I'd probably recommend sticking between 18 to 25. Next we have the encoder preset. Now this
42
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,880
feature basically tells your computer how much processing power it will need to encode the entire
43
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:52,080
video. However, I would just keep this set to fast because if you put it any slower, then it's
44
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:57,520
going to take absolutely ages, literally snails pace and we haven't really got the time for that,
45
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,960
so I'd recommend keeping it to fast. For the rest of the settings, I'd keep them the exact same,
46
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,760
but if you have any audio in your video, then I'd recommend checking this audio tab to make sure
47
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:13,360
that it's set to 320 bits because sometimes it automatically sets it to lower and you just want
48
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:19,280
to make sure that that's 320. Lastly to save us from inputting all of these settings ever again,
49
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:25,760
we can save this as a preset up here so you have it for future reference. And just before we start
50
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,800
encoding you want to make sure that you have your file saved in a location where you can find it,
51
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,080
and then after that all is left to do is to start the encoding process and let ham break do its
52
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:41,760
thing. And that's essentially it. So if we compare the file size as you can see we started with
53
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:48,640
a 1GB file size and now it's been dramatically reduced and if we play them back side by side,
54
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:54,160
you'll notice that there has been no quality lost whatsoever. They both essentially look brand new.
55
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,840
But that's it for today's video. As always, if you have any specific problems or questions
56
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:04,320
about ham break, then let me know in the comments section below. But if you enjoyed the video and
57
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,440
you want to learn more about video production, video editing and all things about content creation,
58
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,840
then consider subscribing to the channel and joining the fever days gang. But that's it for now.
59
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:21,840
I'll catch you in the next one.
