 ffmpeg pre-compression settings, all clips get prepared in that way,
 so the input for the final compression is unique.
 - `aspect` mus be a float number.
+- with `logo_scale = 100:-1` logo can be scaled
 - with `logo_opacity` logo can make transparent
 - with `logo_filter = overlay=W-w-12:12` you can modify the logo position
 - with use_loudnorm you can activate single pass EBU R128 loudness normalization
