Will my video lose quality? 
Compression is done in a way that aims for no visible quality loss. The video file becomes significantly smaller, but the difference should not be noticeable during normal playback.

 How much smaller will my video become? 
This depends on the original video and the chosen format, but savings of roughly 85-92% are common in practice.

 Which video formats are supported? 
You can choose between AV1, H.265, or WebM for the compressed output.

 Which video format should I choose? 
AV1 is recommended for most cases: it offers the best quality-to-size ratio and is the fastest to process. H.265 offers broad compatibility. WebM is a solid alternative but takes considerably longer to process.

 Is there a maximum video or file size? 
Yes, the maximum file size per video is 2 GB.

 Can I use the compressed video directly on my website? 
Yes. You can place it using the dedicated Elementor widget, or with the plugin’s shortcode on any page or post, with or without Elementor.

 Can I download the compressed video? 
Yes, a download link for every compressed video is available in your compression history.

 Do I need FFmpeg installed on my own hosting? 
No. Compression takes place on a secure external server operated by OsKracht, so nothing needs to be installed on your own hosting.

 What happens to my original video? 
This depends on how you compressed it.
If you uploaded a video directly via the plugin’s main screen, the original file is removed from the external server after processing (you still have your own original file, since you uploaded it from your own computer).
If you optimized an existing video from your WordPress media library, the plugin automatically keeps a local backup on your own website, which you can restore with one click at any time.

 Where is my video processed? 
Videos are processed on a secure external server (video.oskracht.nl), operated by OsKracht. This happens because video compression is too resource-intensive for shared WordPress hosting.

 Is my video stored permanently? 
Uploaded originals are removed from the external server after processing.
Compressed videos remain there as long as the account is active.
In case of prolonged inactivity, the account holder first receives an email warning, with a reasonable period to become active again before the video is deleted.

 Do I need Elementor to use this plugin? 
No. Elementor users get a dedicated widget for convenience, but you can place a compressed video on any page or post using the plugin’s shortcode, with or without Elementor.
