Customizing Video Profiles
After you select a file format for your outputted video file, depending on the format you selected, there may be video quality settings you can customize in the video profiles section.
These video quality settings are called profiles, and can consist of your video’s resolution, bitrate compression, audio compression type, and more.
Before you output your production to a video file, you may want to create a new quality profile, edit an existing one, or select a different existing profile and other options from one of the available drop-downs in the production options section.
