[VIDEO]
# Resolution height in pixels (width adjusts automatically to maintain aspect ratio)
# Common options:
#   240  = Very low quality, smallest file size (~4 MB/min)
#   360  = Low quality, good for audio-focused content (~7 MB/min) [DEFAULT]
#   480  = Medium quality, decent balance (~10 MB/min)
#   720  = HD quality, better thumbnails (~15 MB/min)
#   1080 = Full HD, high quality, large files (~30 MB/min)
# Recommendation: Stick with 360 for audio content, use 720+ for visual content
resolution_height = 360

# Frames per second (FPS) - how many images shown per second
# Common options:
#   1   = Minimal (one frame per second, smallest size) [DEFAULT]
#   24  = Smooth for video content (larger files)
#   30  = Standard video framerate (larger files)
# Recommendation: Keep at 1 for static images, it's just a still image anyway
fps = 1

# Video bitrate - controls video quality vs file size
# Format: number + 'k' (kilobits per second)
# Common options:
#   500k  = Very compressed, smallest files
#   1000k = Good quality for 360p [DEFAULT]
#   2000k = Good quality for 720p
#   4000k = Good quality for 1080p
# Recommendation: Match bitrate to your resolution choice
video_bitrate = 1000k

[ENCODING]
# Encoding preset - balances speed vs compression
# Options (from fastest to slowest):
#   ultrafast = Fastest encoding, larger files [DEFAULT]
#   superfast = Very fast, slightly smaller files
#   veryfast  = Fast, good compression
#   faster    = Slower, better compression
#   fast      = Balanced speed and size
#   medium    = Good compression, slower
#   slow      = Best compression, very slow
# Recommendation: 'ultrafast' for bulk processing, 'medium' for best quality/size ratio
preset = ultrafast

# Number of threads for encoding (how many CPU cores to use)
# Options:
#   1-16 = Specific number of threads
#   0    = Use all available CPU cores [DEFAULT]
# Recommendation: Use 0 to automatically use all cores for fastest processing
threads = 0

# Video codec - how the video is compressed
# Options:
#   libx264 = Standard H.264, works everywhere [DEFAULT]
#   libx265 = H.265/HEVC, better compression but slower and less compatible
# Recommendation: Stick with libx264 for YouTube
video_codec = libx264

# Audio codec - how the audio is compressed
# Options:
#   aac  = Standard AAC, works everywhere [DEFAULT]
#   mp3  = MP3 format, widely compatible
#   copy = Keep original audio format (fastest, no re-encoding)
# Recommendation: Use 'aac' for best compatibility with YouTube
audio_codec = aac

[RESUME]
# Resume mode - what to do if output file already exists
# Options:
#   skip      = Skip files that already exist (resume interrupted batches) [DEFAULT]
#   overwrite = Always recreate videos, even if they exist
#   ask       = Ask user what to do for each existing file
# Recommendation: Use 'skip' to save time on re-runs
resume_mode = skip
