  • Sharing feedback clips over email threads with size limits

Why it works

  • Automatically tunes bitrate so exports stay under 10 MB
  • Keeps spoken audio intelligible for support or QA context
  • Outputs MP4 files that play cleanly across desktop and mobile

Pro tips

  • Trim intros and outros before compressing to preserve visual clarity.
  • Drop the frame rate to 30 fps when recording to gain extra headroom.
  • If you hit 10 MB exactly, retry at 9.5 MB to leave room for platform wrappers.
