How to highly compress a video with Power Point slides, without degrading the text - on a Mac
This video shows how I used HomeBrew and FFMPEG to compress a 50 minute long video into a 68mb file (originally 600MB) where all the text from power point was crisp and legible.
Compressor was making a mess of the slides when I tried using that. I have no clue how this works, but it worked, so I'm sharing it.
Start at brew.sh
Copy the code from the middle of the screen to a terminal window on your mac. Press enter to install HomeBrew
Then in the terminal window, type brew install ffmpeg. Press enter to install FFMPEG
Then move your files to your "home directory"
Then replace the input.mov with the actual mov (no spaces in the name) in this command line: ffmpeg -i input.mov -c:v libx264 -crf 23 output.mov
Cut and paste that command line into the terminal. Press enter to start the compression.
When it's done, your new file will be in your home directory, called output.mov.
Thanks to this website for revealing the code to make FFMPEG do this particular compression: http://video.stackexchange.com/questi...
