Step 2. Select Output Format In fact, video format/codec plays an important role in video size. Some video formats/codecs like H.265 which supports 8K resolution contributes large size for a file. Therefore, if you want to resize a HD video, it's better to compress the video to a format with compact file size but good quality, like MP4, AVI.

Higher resolution, bit rate and frame rate leads to bigger video size.
