Video Settings Tab
Option Description
Frame Rate
The Automatic option preserves the highest frame
rate for all clips on the timeline. To decrease the file
size, select a lower frame rate.
Decreasing the frame rate to reduce the bandwidth
required by the video stream may cause the video to
appear choppy during playback.
Encoding Mode
Select an option from the dropdown and then use the slider
to adjust the quality.
The Quality (strongly recommended) encoding
mode allows the bitrate to vary as needed to
achieve a given quality without unnecessarily
increasing file size.
The Bitrate encoding mode sets the maximum data
transfer rate (in kBps). A lower bitrate produces a
smaller file size but may decrease the video quality.
Keyframe every
Key frames determine accuracy when seeking
through a video.
To decrease file size, increase the number of sec-
onds between key frames.
H.264 profile
The default option is recommended.
Do not change this setting unless you are familiar with
H.264 encoding options.
