Why Pre-Compressing Matters

Twitter / X allows video uploads up to 512MB (or larger for Premium subscribers), but the feed algorithm severely downgrades videos with irregular keyframe intervals or high bitrates. Pre-compressing with VideoReduce ensures your video starts playing instantly as users scroll past in their timeline, driving maximum impressions and click-through rates.
