I just want to let people know who use iCloud for any valuable file storage about it seems that any video .mpg4 files saved to one's iCloud storage get compressed and then my recent case the compression was so severe the movie my son created for me is virtually useless.
Apple should be charged with video-slaughter even if such a thing doesn't actually exist.
I misplaced the original copy my son created and sent me several years ago and he sent me his backup coffee he had stored in his iCloud share folder.
I can't believe how bad the resulting file is and basically it ruined the whole movie at least the visuals and colours are concerned. The only thing that stayed intact and useful was the movie's music.
So if anyone is using iCloud for such file storage, they may want to reconsider their options.
Pretty poor Apple.

icloud and video cpompression
A: iCloud primarily reduces the size of large multimedia files like photos and videos using lossy compression. Documents and text files usually undergo lossless compression to maintain their integrity and quality.Jul 15, 2024
