    Hi @GKid94, the reason for this may be that you're halving the original video resolution, making it impossible to not lose quality. Please try setting the resolution back to 720p.

    Furthermore, if a video is already very low bit rate (Settings > General > Show Bitrate to see it), it's simply not possible to compress it any further without losing quality. This may be the case if the video was downloaded from a social media platform, which already heavily compresses videos.
