Why darker area missing in compressed video?
My video is shot using phone, in the original video the bottom area is darker because no light at the bottom area, it is not a complete solid black.
Question: Why the bottom darker black area disappeared after compress? (I redo everything for a second time and it is still the same result)
I tried to compress other video and the after compress video looks exactly the same as the before compress video.

Compression often reduces color info (chroma subsampling). This can cause subtle variations, like the darker bottom area, to get washed out or lost.
