Videos should be as small as possible, as this makes them load faster and reduces server load. However, this should not come at the cost of clarity. If a video doesn't effectively communicate what it means to, then it being small is irrelevantāit's useless.
The easiest way to ensure a video is small is to make it shorter. Most videos on Wavu Wiki should be around 2 to 5 seconds long. Be ruthless in cutting out dead time from a video.
For a tutorial on how to record, trim, and encode videos, see Wavu:Video recording tutorial.
Encoder parameters
These parameters are chosen such that all relevant text renders on the UI are legible, while optimizing file size and video quality at both down-scaled (thumbnail) and up-scaled (full screen) resolutions.
| Encoder | x264 |
|---|---|
| crf | 25 |
| Preset | veryslow |
| Frame rate | 60fps |
| Resolution | 640x360[1] |
| Container | mp4 |
| Audio track | None |

Graphics settings
Use the best graphics settings your computer can handle without compromising the frame rate.
Map settings
Be careful recording on Infinite Azure, since sometimes there's a massive lens flare which makes text not legible after encoding.
Action settings
If your video is demonstrating a move, use these action settings so that readers aren't mislead into thinking combos exist where they don't.
| CPU Opponent Action 1 | Stand |
|---|---|
| CPU Opponent Action 2 | Guard All |
| Ground Technique | Side Quick Roll (Left) |
| Stand Up | Wake Up (Backward) |
Display settings
Most videos are recorded from practice mode. The UI here should display only the information relevant to the video's purpose.
These display settings are appropriate for most videos.
| Command History | Display |
|---|---|
| Health Gauge | Hide |
| Player Attack Info | Display |
| CPU Opponent Attack Info | Hide |
| Hit Properties | Display |
| Recovery Animation | Hide |
| Player Frame Info | Hide |
| Opponent Frame Info | Hide |
Player Frame Info and Opponent Frame Info should be set to Detailed Display if frame data is central to the video.
