What's New in Video Compressor
1.1.1
September 14, 2026
This update lets you choose output resolution and frame rate — for all videos or one at a time. • Output resolution per tier: Settings › Advanced Compression Settings now has separate 4K, FHD and HD sections, each with its own default Output resolution (for example, 4K → FHD). The default keeps the original resolution. • Target frame rate: choose Source, 60, 30 or 24 fps. Videos already at or below the target keep their frame rate. • Per‑video settings: tap Config under a video in Pick to set its bitrate, resolution and frame rate on its own. The sheet shows the source resolution and frame rate. • Slow‑motion and time‑lapse videos always keep their original frame rate. Nothing changes unless you change it — by default LeanVid still lowers only the bitrate.
