Hi - is it possible to re-encode (compress) the .mp4 files without messing up viewing the recorded video within Sighthound?
For example, using the Finder's built in re-encode function to re-encode at 480p, which also makes the file smaller? Note, though, that built in function saves it as an .m4v file. Does that matter?

Re: Re-encode saved video?
Hello nunuvyurbiz,
We recommend never interacting with the raw video files directly as it can cause several issues in Sighthound Video. If you wish to alter video files we recommend first exporting the clips. You can manually export a clip from the search view by selecting the clip and going to Tools > Export. If you wish to export all clips for a specific rule you can use our "Export to local Folder" feature: https://www.sighthound.com/support/export-local-folder
