Format
You can choose the quality and corresponding format of your video from the following options:
High Quality (Hap): This option gives you superior video quality but results in larger file sizes.
Medium Quality (H.265): Offers moderate video quality with reasonable file sizes.
Low Quality (H.264): This choice provides lower video quality but ensures smaller file sizes.
Scale
This optional setting allows you to adjust the resolution of the video. You can specify a scaling value to alter the video resolution while keeping the original aspect ratio intact.
