How to Make a Video Bad Quality On Purpose?

Before we go deep into the tutorial, we should first know what can cause a bad video quality. The most obvious, of course, is resolution. Turning your video to 360p, 144p, and even lower resolution can severely ruin the video quality. Other major factors that affect video quality are bitrate, frame rate, and codec. The video bitrate contributes greatly to the video quality. The higher bitrate, the better quality. And reducing bitrate can lower the clarity of a video significantly. As for frame rate, if it drops, your video will look bad and stutter. However, if it increases to a very high level, the video will also look unnatural. The codec can influence the video quality with its unique compression method. A video codec with a lower compression ratio will lead to more detail loss, hence degrading your video quality.

Now that we have known what factors affect video quality, we can make use of them to start making low-quality videos. And to do that, all we need is a simple video transcoder. We provide a powerful video converter in the next part, and we will go over how to make a video look low quality step-by-step. Just read and follow.
