[FEAT] Preserve EXIF metadata

[KeroroGUN50]

Feature Request

Add option to preserve EXIF metadata (original date and location) in the output video, OR provide a setting to append a suffix to the original file name (e.g., _compressed_originalfilename).

Current Behaviour

Compressed videos currently lose all original EXIF tags and are saved with names that don't clearly distinguish them from the originals. This causes the new files to be sorted incorrectly in the gallery (appearing as "today's" media) rather than staying with the original footage.

Device Info

• Device Model*: POCO F6
• Android Version*: 16 (HyperOS)
• Device Chipset: Snapdragon 8s Gen 3
• Device Model Number: 24069PC21G / 24069PC21I

These features are essential for organizing videos on Android. Currently, without metadata, compressed videos lose their metadata and original file name for easier organization, and pose headache to manually edit them.

And thanks, this is exactly the app I'm looking for essentially like 2 years, a fast hevc compressor for Android.

Reassigning this to high priority, I didn't mean to click medium priority earlier! It's just the default priority
