9 If you have selected a website as the destination, you will be asked to
enter your account information and to provide an optional title and
description for the video.
The Privacy drop-down menu allows you to determine who can
access the file. You also have the option to send a tweet alerting your
Twitter followers that the video has been posted.
Creating Custom Profiles
You can create Custom Profiles for video conversions, which allow you to
customize any of the included presets and save your custom settings so
they can be used in the future.
To create a custom conversion profile:
1 After you have clicked the red Convert button, select New Custom
Profile from the Device pull-down menu.
2 The Custom Video Export Profiles window appears, a new profile is
automatically added and you are prompted to enter a name for it.
The name of the profile will appear on the Device pull-down menu in
the future, so choose a name you will remember.
3 From the Format pull-down, choose a format to base your custom
settings on. You should choose the format that is closest to the
settings you want to use. For example, if you are creating a custom
video profile to convert video for your iPad, you should select the iPad
format.
4 Make changes to the selected format by changing options such as
Size, Aspect Ratio, Overscan, and others. You can also click Advanced
to access additional settings for both audio and video. You should
ensure that the settings you choose are compatible with the device
you are going to use for playback. It is possible to choose settings that
are not compatible with the original device or format you selected in
the Format pull-down menu.
5 Once you’ve completed making changes, click OK and complete your
project. You’ll see your new custom profile listed by name in the
Device pull-down menu.
