Abstract
A method, system and product for compressing videos. The method comprising: obtaining a video that comprises a sequence of video frames, wherein the sequence of video frames comprises at least a first frame and a second frame, wherein the first frame is ordered before the second frame in the sequence of video frames; determining to preserve the first frame in its entirety; and in response to a determination to utilize a partial frame instead of the second frame: cropping the second frame to determine a cropped frame, wherein the cropped frame is smaller in at least one dimension than the second frame, wherein said cropping is based on an anchor location; whereby an alternative video can be constructed using the first frame and the cropped frame, wherein the alternative video does not include a remainder portion of the second frame in an explicit manner.
