AutoCompress (Vencord Plugin)

• AutoCompress is a Vencord plugin that automatically compresses videos and other applicable media upon attempted send that exceed a configurable size limit, reducing them to a specified target size

Features

• customizable compression settings, target file size, compression thresholds, etc.

How It Works

• works via reencoding media with ffmpeg

Installation

• https://docs.vencord.dev/installing/custom-plugins/

Usage

• drag/drop, and paste are currently supported
• applicable files above the size set in settings are compressed to fit under size limit in settings upon attempted upload

Notes

• requires ffmpeg (and ffprobe), plugin should automatically resolve binaries - if not, set a path in the plugin settings
• set a limit a bit below your ideal size
• ensure you set a realistic time limit
• lower resolution scaling can help encoding speed & artifacting
• ffmpeg will likely utilize the majority of your cpu when compressing as this plugin currently only does software encoding, support for hardware accel may happen eventually (but probably not)
