Best video compressor today

Looking to compress some footage for instagram. Any easy ways to do so?

I currently use MPEG4 stream clip.

I find it a little sketchy, and I'm sure there are better ones today.

I'm looking for something that's free. Or is there a way to compress files when in final cut pro directly?

Thanks

Oh yeah, I know this should belong in media and arts, but I urgently need some responses.

M&A isn't dead or slow.

exporting footage for instagram is implying that you're using the best possible compression for instagram, google harder!

Instagram's upped size to 1080 now too

well, there isn't a an option to compress footage in final cut pro, hence why apple has the compressor app.

the footage I export looks a lot clearer on the computer, when compared to the phone which is weird.

it's always going to do that.... footage online will never look as good as it did on your screen. Each time you compress/change the file it degrades it a bit more

yeah, that kinda sucks.

I guess I'll just to have to keep looking. I'ave played around with different formats as well as different ways to transfer from my computer to my phone, but it still makes it look fuzzy.

I told you up there, Handbrake. It's free. it's a video compressor. Just google it.
 
MPEG Streamclip is definitely not sketch. I don't use it for post-editing compression since Premiere lets you export compressed video, but it will do the job well. Your settings should be H.264, 1080p, whatever fps, then 10,000kbps (10mbps) and you'll be golden.
