compress-mov-files-mac-ffmpeg

Tired of 4GB .MOV video files clogging up your Mac's expensive SSD storage?

1. Clone/ download this repo (see the video below for how to do it).

2. Download FFmpeg and ExifTool for mac

3. Run this script in the Terminal:

    bash path/compress_video_files.sh
   

4. Drag and drop video files (there is a limit on the string size you can paste)

5. Type "Start"

6. When finished check that the new files are working

7. Delete the "Original Files - DELETE if all went OK" folder.

⚠️ This is my first (and messy) shell script, use it with caution
