If you are worried about the lack of storage space on your computer, you can compress the size of your recordings with Video Compressor.

Step 1. Drag the slider to adjust the size of the compressed video. You can rename it in case you cannot find it after compressing.

Step 2. If you have special needs, you can set the video format as you like. If not, we recommend just choosing MP4, as it has the highest compatibility with players and devices.

Before exporting, you can rename the video and set the output quality. Also, you can adjust the output audio track, in which you can even add background music for your new merge.
