Any Easy Way to Compress/Resize iPhone 4K/1080p Videos?
4K has about 4 times more pixels than 1080p, which definitely brings you much better quality than its predecessor. We know that and want that benefit. Hence, when it comes to shoot iPhone video, there is a strong likelihood that we prefer 4K recording.
Yet, you can't have your cake and eat it. There is always a downsize that you need to accept. As for iPhone 4K video recording, it comes at the price of large-sized file. So to help you avoid the embarrassing choice, here we suggest you to properly resize your iPhone 4K 60/30/24FPS footages, as well as slo-mo 1080p 120FPS /240FPS video to keep a good balance between quality and file size.
To reach this goal, VideoProc Converter AI, the one-stop iPhone video processing program, is up to the mark. It helps you resize and shrink your iPhone video via 4 methods:
1. Transcode H264 to HEVC: lossless decode your iPhone H264 video to HEVC with at least 50% bit rate reduction. Thus, you can upload video to YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Ins, Snapchat, etc. with 50% smaller size.
2. Cut/Split Video: the longer in duration, the larger in size. To make iPhone video smaller, apply its editing feature to cut iPhone video to get your desired video clip and split video into several segments. Thus, you can only save and share the highlight part of your video.
3. Lower Parameter Settings: it makes an easy work of further compressing your iPhone size via settings. You can decrease resolution 4K to 1080p, frame rate 240FPS to 120FPS/60FPS to 30FPS and turn down bit rate around 20-50% within the preprogrammed profiles.
