Part 1: 8 tips to optimize video for web online (including video format,size)<\/b><\/h2>\n
One thing that bothers us most is the long loading time of online videos. How to optimize video for web to shorten its loading time and make sure the online video plays back smoothly? There are quite a few tips we could do. Here we have collected 8 tips for you to optimize video for quick online web loading. <\/p>\n
1. Choose the most suitable video file format<\/strong><\/p>\n
We know that the web accepts quite a few video file formats including MP4, MOV, FLV, F4V, WebM, etc. Which file format is the best one for online videos? <\/p>\n
\n![\"Zamzar\"](\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" "\\"Zamzar\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nas is known to all, MP4 and WebM have become the standard formats for platforms like YouTube and Vimeo. MP4, which performs better on mobile devices, is relatively more popular and accepted by all browsers, while WebM, which is lighter, is currently only fully supported by Chrome and Firefox. Therefore, make sure you have optimized your videos to be uploaded online saved in either webm or mp4 file format.<\/p>\n
2. Use proper video compression tool<\/strong><\/p>\n
Generally speaking, smaller media files load faster. Therefore, you could choose proper video compression tools to compress video files<\/a> before uploading to the Internet. There are quite a great number of video compression tools like Handbrake, Blazemp, etc. <\/p>\n
3. Choose a proper encoding<\/strong><\/p>\n
Video encoding is the process of formatting the file for output. Different encoding methods will have different impact onto the final video size. However, you should also keep in mind that different encoding methods will influence the video quality. <\/p>\n
4. Choose a proper transcoding method<\/strong><\/p>\n
This is the process of changing one form of digital encoding to another. This typically involves lossy compression. For example, you start with an H.264 file and convert it to MPEG4. When you are preparing video for the web, you will most likely be transcoding the file. Transcoding will also bring differences to the video size and quality. <\/p>\n
5. Choose a proper resolution<\/strong><\/p>\n
Simply speaking, a video resolution defines the video size. The smaller the resolution is, the smaller your file size will be. Below are some common display resolutions for digital devices: 1920\u00d71080, 1366\u00d7768, 1280\u00d71024, 1280\u00d7800, and 1024\u00d7768. <\/p>\n
6. Set a proper bitrate<\/strong><\/p>\n
Also known as \u201cdata rate\u201d, the bitrate controls the file size. Higher quality files have a higher bitrate. Expressed in kilobytes per second Kbps, a lower bitrate means a lower file size. <\/p>\n
7. Set a proper video length<\/strong><\/p>\n
Apparently, the video length would also be an important fact on video loading. Get the unwanted video clip cut to keep only what you want for uploading. <\/p>\n
8. Remove unwanted audio<\/strong><\/p>\n
Sometimes we only need a muted video, or we need to add external audio as background audio. In such case, we could remove the original audio track to save space.
\nThese above tips are for video optimization. Actually, you could even optimize your video page to get your videos quickly found by others. Of course, that\u2019s about video SEO. That\u2019s another topic. The below content would show you how to optimize video for web online with different tools.\n<\/p>\nPart 2: How to optimize video with Leawo Video Converter<\/b><\/h2>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nOn the Trim tab, you could trim video length to remove unwanted video clip by setting \u201cStart Time\u201d and \u201cEnd Time\u201d values. <\/p>\n
\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nOn the Crop tab, you could crop video size by removing the black margin. Just set the Left and Top values to get black margins removed.\n <\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nYou could even remove the noise from source video by making use of the “Remove Noise” tab. Simply open the “Remove Noise” tab and then enable “Remove Noise” option to do this.<\/p>\n
