I know @nostr.build would appreciate people using these.

You can also do some file size reduction in your video editing software at export. Using LumaFusion on my phone I made a 47 sec video at 57MB. I’m guessing that sort of thing can help?

That's a good start. For social media these can take it even further. Get that 58 down to single digits.

Unlike centralized social media your videos aren't automatically optimized on Nostr. Her are some good tools to compress your videos for smaller size and better streaming before upload. 🔹Android FFshare - Open source, ffmpeg based

More people will watch your video if it loads quickly. Media optimization for internet use is important. If something doesn't load quickly, people just move on.

Do you think compression is necessary for iPhone videos?

Any video, yeah. Your phone saves for maximum quality. For posting on the Web you want to optimize for loading speed and bandwidth. Major platforms do this on their servers, Nostr doesn't have this yet unfortunately.

Phone videos are the worst. When I move them to other storage I always batch re-encode them.

#amethyst compresses locally before posting...

Yeah I've of the clients that does. I get much better results with Proton though, smaller files with better quality.

True, it's not to be meant a high grade compression. Just a basic one to crunch the worst away...

Images are not optimized either. Plenty of folks with 10mb PFPs around here.

This. When I vibed a game using avatars as game assets the biggest hurdle was optimizing them for use in game. Centralized services doing all the work for you has left most people ignorant of the importance of media optimization for Internet use unfortunately.
