Built-in option to reduce video quality after upload

[dabruh]

I saw this earlier discussion about auto-compressing images and videos on upload — which I think is a great idea. Just wanted to suggest a slightly different but related feature:

It would be super useful to have an option to reduce video resolution after upload, directly from within the app. I’ve got a bunch of older videos that I want to keep, but they don’t need to stay in full resolution (e.g. 4K). Being able to downscale them to 1080p or 720p, without needing to re-encode and re-upload manually, would be a big help.

Even something simple like a “compress video” action with a few quality presets would go a long way — especially for folks trying to save on storage.

Thanks again for all the work you’re putting into Ente. It's really shaping up into something special 🙌

Hey, video streaming is currently in beta: https://help.ente.io/photos/faq/video-streaming

Once it is out of beta, we will work towards providing an option to choosing between storing originals vs. compressed streams vs. both.
