Screen content compresses exceptionally well
Screen recordings typically have large areas of solid color, text, and limited motion compared to camera video. H.264 encoding takes advantage of this, often achieving 80-90% file size reduction with minimal visible quality loss.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best quality setting for screen recordings?
Screen content compresses very efficiently. 65% quality typically looks excellent. Go to 75-80% if the recording contains small text that must be sharp.
Should I downscale screen recordings?
If the recording is 4K, downscaling to 1080p dramatically reduces file size without affecting readability on most screens.
Does cursor animation compress well?
Yes. Mouse movement is low-motion content that compresses efficiently.
What about webcam overlay in recordings?
Webcam footage (face cam) is higher motion and adds to file size. The compressor handles mixed content well.
