### Why this workflow matters

Large video files slow down uploads, email, and archiving. XCompressor keeps format, codec, resolution, and quality controls in one batch queue.

- Test a small batch first to verify format, quality, audio, and destination.

- Open or play the result on the target device or platform before delivery.
