Video FPS - Compresto Documentation

Overview

Compresto allows you to set a target frame rate (FPS) for video compression. Reducing the frame rate can significantly decrease file size while maintaining acceptable visual quality for certain types of content.

Available Options

Option	Description
Same as input	Keep the original frame rate (default)
60	High frame rate for smooth motion
30	Standard frame rate for web and social media
24	Cinematic frame rate, smaller file size
15	Low frame rate for maximum compression

How It Works

The target FPS setting only reduces frame rate - it never increases it. If your input video has a lower frame rate than the target, the original frame rate is preserved. For example:

Input: 60 fps, Target: 30 fps → Output: 30 fps
Input: 24 fps, Target: 30 fps → Output: 24 fps (unchanged)

When to Use Each Option

How to Configure

Open Compresto
Go to Settings > Advanced
Select your preferred frame rate from the Target video FPS dropdown

Lowering frame rate reduces file size but may make motion appear less smooth. Use lower frame rates only when the content doesn’t require high motion fidelity.
