Simply speaking, Bitrate defines the quality of your video by setting the available data for each second of the video, so the higher the bitrate it is, the video will be in higher quality, but again it will also increase the size of the video.įinding a balance between the file size and file quality is something that is really dependant on the situation and your taste. Now we reach the Bitrate settings section. If your video is shot in HDR be sure to use this option. High Dynamic range, HDR for short, will give you a better picture by making a better balance between the dark and light areas of your footage. Rec.2020 is a color range with a wide color gamut and if your footage is in UHD then checking this option will give you higher color range. I personally never change these because they change automatically when I set the other settings. These two are settings that dictate the many aspects of codec and quality for H.264. I personally experienced the benefit of Hardware encoding, but I will make a dedicated video on this matter getting in depth with the topic. There are so many videos online either having an amazing experience with hardware encoding, or they have experienced next to nothing speed wise. Just as a disclaimer, I have to say that your mileage may vary when using Hardware Encoding. If you have a somewhat high end rig with a relatively new Core series Intel CPU, you should definitely choose hardware encoding, otherwise software encoding is your best bet. Let’s move on to the next section which is encoding. This can help you find what you look for faster in the future. First the name is mine and mine only, and second, a smart thing to do is to name your preset something that explains the inside settings. Let’s name mine Michaelomenia! But you don’t do that. This means all the settings you are applying are now specific to you and the cool part is that by clicking on this button here you can save all the settings into a preset that is yours! ![]() Now if you pay attention here you will see the moment I change anything, preset will change to Custom But for the sake of this video I’m gonna stick with the vastly more popular H.264 format.Īnyway, all these option here can be changed based on your needs like changing the video frame rate and resolution. For example if I change my format from H.264 to QuickTime you will see Video Codec option will be added here. So let’s start with Video tab which as the name implies, consists of all the essential video settings.įirst I have to mention that all the options in these tabs are dynamic and change based on the format you choose. Oh and since we are here, DO NOT FORGET to make sure both Export Video and Export Audio are checked! It may sound obvious but I have forgotten it before and it was not a good experience! ![]() This is the name of your output file and clicking on it will give you the option to not only change the name of the output file but also set the destination for it. OK, we will get to the customization stuff in a bit but before that, let’s talk about this little option here. After all, you gotta take care of your videos! ![]() The biggest difference is that ProRes is geared more toward apple users and DNxHD is more of a windows thingīut all that said, if you want to have more control over your end product and get a better suited end result, you should try to customize everything to your liking. For example DNxHR/DNxHD is Avid’s answer to Apple’s ProRes and they are both amazing. If you go the QuickTime route, you see some presets which are not that familiar, in fact they may look a bit scary and technical! I personally always use Apple ProRes 422 LT but of course you can change everything down here if you fancy. ![]() If you are just about simply uploading to social media then these presets can be really helpful. Of course each format has its own presets, for example in the case of H.264 you can see some familiar names like Vimeo and YouTube. Inside preset section you will have so many options to choose from.
