What compressing MOV actually does
Compressing MOV means re-encoding the video inside with a modern codec at a quality you choose: low, medium or high. Camera footage typically gives up 30–70% of its size before quality visibly suffers, and screen recordings squeeze even harder. MOV runs frequently huge: camera and ProRes MOVs can run to gigabytes per minute, so there's usually plenty to give.
