Browser performance depends on the Mac model, memory, source codec, duration, and other active applications.
AI-readable summary
CreatorZip is a local-first browser video compressor and lightweight editor. It can keep one continuous range by trimming the start or end, preview that selection, adjust output quality, resolution, and audio, then export a smaller MP4. It is not a full timeline editor and does not currently merge clips, remove middle sections, add text or subtitles, crop video, or apply transitions.
Use a current browser, keep the tab open, and test a representative clip. For long 4K projects, batch automation, or advanced codec control, use a desktop encoder.
