Switching to a newer video codec can help reduce video file size. In this blog post, we talk about a few techniques that you can employ to reduce the size of the video without video quality loss! 1. In addition to increasing the storage costs, the size of each video asset also impacts the CDN delivery costs.ĭue to all these implications, it is important to reduce the size of a video without hurting the quality.
