SceneShrink Support

Getting started

Import your video
- Tap “Pick a video from Photos” or “Import a video from Files.”
- Larger videos may take time to import. You’ll see “Importing from Photos…” during this step.
Choose a size (Preset)
- Mid Size (1080p), Smaller (720p), Smallest (480p), or Custom.
- SceneShrink avoids upscaling. If a preset would exceed your video’s original resolution, it will be grayed out with “Not recommended (upscales).”
- If your video is already small, you’ll see a hint suggesting “Rename only” or a smaller preset.
Name your file
- Let SceneShrink name it using your profile and details, or toggle “Enter full file name manually.”
- If the manual name is invalid (empty or contains illegal characters), you’ll see a validation message and the button will be disabled until you fix it.
Compress & Save
- Tap “Compress & Save.” You’ll see immediate feedback (“Preparing…”) followed by a progress bar.
- When complete, the file is saved to Files → On My iPhone → SceneShrink → Auditions.
- Use “Share / Manage…” to send or move the file. While compressing, your videos may appear “grayed out” at the new location. Once the videos are done compressing, they will appear in color.

Custom mode: If your selected resolution would upscale the source, you’ll see a gentle warning under the resolution picker.
Rename only: In Custom mode, you can toggle “Rename only” to copy the original video with a new name (no compression).
Keep the app open during compression for best performance.

Files → On My iPhone → SceneShrink → Auditions. You can also share to other locations.

Use the default SceneShrink preset for a small, casting-friendly MP4 with reliable uploads.
