 - ✅ Default encoder preset set to slow
 - ✅ Bitrate mode now strictly hides unrelated controls (CRF only in CRF mode)
 - ✅ Removed CRF visibility toggle from quality updates to prevent CBR/VBR bleed-through
+- ✅ Added CRF preset dropdown with Manual option
 - ✅ Stabilized video seeking and embedded rendering
 - ✅ Improved player window positioning
 - ✅ Fixed clear video functionality
