Compress UI Video

Compress a screen recording for use in docs or README.

ffmpeg -i input.mov -an -c:v libx264 -preset slow -tune animation -crf 32 -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mp4

Flag	Purpose
`-an`	Strip audio
`-c:v libx264`	H.264 codec (universal playback)
`-preset slow`	Better compression (worth the wait)
`-tune animation`	Optimised for flat colors / UI / screen content
`-crf 32`	Quality — higher = smaller. 28–34 is fine for UI demos
`-pix_fmt yuv420p`	Compatibility with all players/browsers

Run the command with the input file path provided by the user. Output file goes next to the input with .mp4 extension.
