<p>Over the past 10 years, the stunning rise of video on the internet as a way to communicate<br />
and disseminate ideas has made it a platform that EVERYONE has needed to get familiar with<br />
and master.  With this rise, came incredible tools like FFmpeg and video file formats like<br />
MP4, that has become the de facto video format on the web.  FFmpeg is a powerful open source<br />
video conversion, compression and streaming tool used by top services like YouTube and<br />
Facebook. Because of the current zeitgeist, it is important to use video on your site to<br />
interact with you visitors in ways that they can relate to and understand.  Communicating<br />
in a standard way using the MP4 video format and making sure those videos are small in size<br />
but good in quality is therefore absolutely imperative.</p>
<p>Open Beacon MP4 Conversion and Compression combines WordPress with FFmpeg to easily convert<br />
files from the popular FLV and MOV file formats to the even more popular MP4 file format.<br />
Existing MP4 files can be radically compressed without any perceptible loss in video quality.<br />
In short, Open Beacon MP4 Conversion and Compression is what any WordPress aficionado needs<br />
if they want to use FFmpeg.</p>
<p>This plugin ONLY works with FFmpeg.</p>

<h4>A plugin to make video players, thumbnails, multiple resolutions, and video galleries.</h4>
<p>This video plugin adds several options to any video uploaded to the WordPress Media Library. If your video can be played natively in your browser, or if you have FFMPEG installed on your server (optional), you can generate thumbnails from your video. Using either the “Generate” or “Randomize” buttons will create a selection to choose from. Click “Insert into Post” and you’ll get a shortcode in the post editor that will make a flexible, responsive video player.</p>
<p>If you provide multiple H.264 resolutions, Videopack can automatically select the one closest to the size of the player or a resolution of your choice, and provide a button for users to select the resolution manually. If FFMPEG is installed on your server, Videopack can encode the videos automatically.</p>
<p>You can also use Videopack to create a popup video gallery. The shortcode uses options similar to the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Gallery_Shortcode" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress image gallery shortcode</a>. In its simplest form it will create a gallery of all videos attached to the post.</p>
<p>You can now add advertisements to your videos using the <a href="https://www.videopack.video/add-ons/videopack-ads/" rel="nofollow ugc">Videopack Ads</a> premium add-on which you can purchase from the Add-ons tab of the Videopack Settings page or on the <a href="https://www.videopack.video/add-ons/videopack-ads/" rel="nofollow ugc">Videopack website</a>.</p>
<p>Not compatible with the Block Editor. Please continue to use the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/" rel="ugc">Classic Editor</a>.</p>
