#1. Choose an Advanced Encoder - HEVC or VP9

Expand 500+ optimized presets on the right side. Navigate to "Video" category and select "H265 for MP4", "H265 for MKV" or "VP9" profile to compress screen recordings to smaller file sizes without losing any quality, which offers up to 50% better data compression at the same level of video quality if your original recordings are encoded with H.264 and VP8.
