# Upload Video Compressor

Shrink videos so they actually upload, send, and publish cleanly.

## Problem it solves
Teams often lose time because a video is simply too large for the next step: upload limit, slow transfer, rejected platform, bloated review file, or awkward handoff. This skill focuses on compressing for practical upload readiness, not generic technical tinkering.

## Use when
- A video is too large for social, ads, storefronts, or internal handoff
- A creator needs a lighter export fast
- The goal is upload readiness, not archive mastering
- A team wants a clearer size/quality tradeoff decision

## Do not use when
- The video is already over-compressed and degraded
- The task is cinematic mastering
- The user needs restoration or quality enhancement, not compression

## Inputs
- Source video file
- Target platform or use case
- File size limit if known
- Preferred tradeoff: smallest possible, best possible, or balanced
- Optional resolution and audio constraints

## Workflow
1. Identify the real upload or handoff constraint.
2. Choose an upload-safe compression profile.
3. Reduce size while protecting practical watchability.
4. Preserve clarity in faces, products, demos, and text where possible.
5. Return the best upload-ready version and explain tradeoffs.

## Output
Return:
1. Compression approach
2. Upload-ready output profile
3. Estimated reduction
4. Quality tradeoffs
5. If needed, the next compression step

## Quality bar
- Optimize for upload success and practical clarity
- Avoid crushing the file into unusable quality
- Make size/quality tradeoffs explicit
- Keep output compatible with common publishing workflows
