+## Building
+
+1. Get your preferred version of FFmpeg from https://github.com/arthenica/ffmpeg-kit/releases
+    or https://gitea.antonlyap.pp.ua/antonlyap/ffmpeg-kit/releases (includes updated FFmpeg and
+    resolution alignment patch).
+2. Place the AAR file under `app/libs`
+3. Build the APK:
+    ```shell
+    ./gradlew assembleRelease
+    ```
+4. Extract the APK:
+    ```shell
+    unzip app/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release-unsigned.apk
+    ```
+5. Create an archive with the following files (`ffmpeg` and `ffprobe` can be found under `cmd/`):
+    ```
+    lib/
+    classes.dex
+    ffmpeg
+    ffprobe
+    ```
