I am trying to get a recommendation on settings to use to downsize home videos. I recently purchased a Sony a6100 and the video it takes is incredible. However, I use it primarily to take videos of my family, very basic. I don't want to store cinematic 4K quality video, just memories of the kids. What would be a good size to encode those videos to, a good mix between basic good quality and storage size?
Thanks.
