I always find that TikTok downloadable videos have a great size to quality ratio. With dark magic, a friend figured out what #ffmpeg options they use. Here you go:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 \
-vf "scale=576:1024:flags=lanczos" \
-c:v libx264 -profile:v high -level 3.1 -preset slow \
-b:v 385k -maxrate 420k -bufsize 800k \
-c:a aac -b:a 37k -ac 2 -ar 44100 \
-movflags +faststart \

Video editors like Kdenlive, Flowblade and Shortcut also support editing MTS files.
