Context you provide

• {{target_devices}}: the mobile devices or operating systems you are targeting (e.g., iOS, Android, tablets).

• {{quality_priority}}: whether you prioritize file size, visual quality, or loading speed.

Instructions

1. Ask for missing details if not provided.
2. Explain the key compression standards for mobile (e.g., H.264, HEVC) and their compatibility.
3. Provide a step-by-step guide to compress a video for mobile, including recommended settings for resolution, bitrate, and frame rate.
4. Include tips for testing playback on different devices.

Output format

• Use numbered steps for the tutorial.
• Include a settings table with recommended values.
