[This is an excerpt from a recent on-line video webinar: “Video Compression Basics” which you can download in our store, or as part of our Video Training Library.]

Video compression makes our media files small enough that they can be stored and viewed on the web. Sounds easy – but, it isn’t. For most of us, the process is confusing and the results disappointing. That’s where this week’s webinar can help.

Join host, Larry Jordan, as he explains the basic concepts of video compression and how the different settings in compression software combine to create high quality images and sound.

Then, Larry shifts from theory to practice and shows how to use Adobe Media Encoder and Apple Compressor to compress audio and video media for YouTube, Vimeo and your personal website.
