I’d like to compress my videos without using the terminal, what is the best GUI today that can do this?

Is this kind of program popular on linux? I know that ffmpeg is very popular on the terminal

    Handbrake is great. But I would also recommend using Kdenlive. It is a video editor but if you just open your video in it and just export the project, you will get some good output format options.

        How is your experience with exporting GIFs in terms of file size? They tend to run larger than, say, mp4 files, right?

        I use Shotcut btw.

          GIFs exported in the original file resolution are usually pretty damn big, but I don’t like giant GIFs myself, so I’ve found the 480x270 to be a good size to keep most of them below 25 megabytes.

          I recommend using WebM container with VP9 codec instead of GIF if you are exporting it for web. It even supports alpha.
