Deeplink improvement

Deeplinking now supports additional parameters such as quality, video format, and the ability to remove audio. This will give you more control over how you customize your media files. For more information about using deeplink with Compresto, feel free to check it out here

Some fixes were also made in this update, including ensuring that converted GIFs from videos have the correct dimensions, audio is synced when trimming a video, and compression no longer gets stuck with MKV file format. An issue causing crashes when selecting a video on some devices is also resolved
