Gmail's 25 MB limit covers every attachment in the email combined. Anything bigger is swapped for a Google Drive link the recipient may not be able to open.
What this preset does
This preset aims for 24 MB, a little headroom under the limit so the message itself still fits, and keeps the video as sharp as that allows.
