FPS: the higher the frame rate is, the more fluency the video is. However, more storage room will be taken up.
Bitrate Type:CBR and VBR are optional. CBR means that no matter how much change is seen in the video scene, the compression bitrate will be kept constant.

This will help to optimize the network bandwidth.
Quality:When VBR is selected, you need to choose image quality. The higher the image quality you choose, the more bitrate will be required.
