Hey, video streaming is currently in beta: https://help.ente.io/photos/faq/video-streaming Once it is out of beta, we will work towards providing an option to choosing between storing originals vs. compressed streams vs. both. |

I was thinking about this. I worked in this way with another App. The original size is uploaded to the cloud but qhen you play a video you can choose if you want a compressed version or the original quality. To watch the video in the mobile phone, 720 or 1080 is more than enough. It’s ok having the original 4k full version of the video on the cloud. I hate waiting a minute to watch a video. |

Would be also cool if there was an option to reencode the entire library or selected videos to eg. AV1 at the same resolution. idk if feasible but settings for encoding should be automatically determined. Videos recorded on a phone can easily take lots of space. |

I saw this earlier discussion about auto-compressing images and videos on upload — which I think is a great idea. Just wanted to suggest a slightly different but related feature:
It would be super useful to have an option to reduce video resolution after upload, directly from within the app. I’ve got a bunch of older videos that I want to keep, but they don’t need to stay in full resolution (e.g. 4K). Being able to downscale them to 1080p or 720p, without needing to re-encode and re-upload manually, would be a big help.
Even something simple like a “compress video” action with a few quality presets would go a long way — especially for folks trying to save on storage.
Thanks again for all the work you’re putting into Ente. It's really shaping up into something special 🙌
