Different video qualities, formats, and frame rates can increase upload times, especially when collecting videos from various sources. To ensure a consistent experience for your users and to avoid large file sizes, it’s essential to convert your videos to the appropriate formats.

If you're familiar with video editing software like Sony Vegas Pro or Final Cut Pro, you may already know how to optimize your videos. If you're new to this process, here’s a quick guide on how to use Handbrake, a free and user-friendly video conversion tool.

Handbrake is a free tool that simplifies video conversion and is available for all major platforms. You can download it on the website: Handbreak Download.

Follow the installation instructions for your operating system, then launch Handbrake.

Click on 'Open Source' and choose the video file you would like to convert.

Handbrake provides several pre-set video formats that simplify the optimisation process. For instance, select the iPad preset if you want to optimise your video for iPad devices.

Choose a destination folder where you can easily locate your converted video. You can do this by clicking on the 'Browse' button at the bottom.

Press the Start button to begin converting your video. Handbrake will notify you once the conversion is complete.
