-When using `ffmpeg.hwaccel_args: preset-vaapi` globally, the resulting file size might be undesirably large; depending on the underlying encoder's implementation.
+When using `hwaccel_args` globally hardware encoding is used for time lapse generation. The encoder determines its own behavior so the resulting file size may be undesirably large.
 To get a reasonable file size nevertheless, the ffmpeg parameter `-qp n` can be utilized (where `n` stands for the value of the quantisation parameter). The value can be adjusted to get an acceptable tradeoff between quality and file size for the given scenario.
