Preset options for video
Depending on the preset you’ve selected, the Video tab of the Project Transcode Presets dialog box contains some or
all of the following options:
Quality Specifies the encoding quality. Quality values range from 1 to 5, with higher values increasing quality and
render time.
Field Order Specifies the output field order, Upper or Lower. Only appears if you select Interlaced as the Program
Sequence option.
Bitrate Encoding Specifies the compression technique used. Constant Bit Rate (CBR) compresses data to a fixed rate.
CBR keeps the rate constant by varying the amount of compression (and thereby quality) as required by the specified
data rate. Variable Bit Rate (VBR) compresses data to fit between a fixed minimum and fixed maximum rate. VBR
allows the compression to vary, which can result in better quality than CBR.
