+### What does "power" and "steps" mean?
+It's actually a bisection method to look for most optimal compression setting. The `power` provides a way to make the values 'deviate' to one side (Negative power would cause sticker-convert to try more large values; Power set to 1 would cause sticker-convert to distribute it's trial evenly between the min and max values; Power more than 1 would cause sticker-convert to try more small values)
+
+To illustrate, let's look at what `--steps 16 --fps-min 5 --fps-max 30 --fps-power 3.0` does.
+1. We would start from `8/16` (step 8 out of 16 steps), which is the mid-point.
+2. We would calculate a factor using power: `(8/16)^3.0 = 0.125`
+3. The fps setting is `round((max - min) * step / steps * factor + min)`, which is `round((16-1) * 8 / 16 * 0.125 + 5) = round(5.9375) = 6`. This means fps would be set to 6.
+4. If the file size is too small, then we would try `4/16` (step 4 out of 16 steps, which is midpoint of 0 to 8.). Else, we would try `10/16` (step 10 out of 16 steps, which is midpoint of 8 to 16).
+5. Repeat 1-3.
