YouTube and Social Media

Choose the H.264 format with the YouTube 2160p 4K preset for high-quality uploads. Adjust the resolution to 1920×1080 or 1280×720 based on your needs. Enable Max Render Quality for best results.

Streaming Platforms (Netflix, Hulu)

Select the H.264 format and choose presets like Match Source – High Bitrate. Ensure your video meets platform specifications, such as a frame rate of 23.976 fps or 29.97 fps, and a resolution of 1920×1080.

Broadcast and Television

For broadcast, use the QuickTime format with Apple ProRes 422 or DNxHR codecs. Set the resolution to 1920×1080, and choose a high bitrate to ensure quality over file size.

Customizing Export Settings

While presets are convenient, customizing settings allows for optimization based on your project. Adjust bitrate encoding, resolution, frame rate, and audio settings to meet specific platform requirements.

Exporting for Mobile Devices

For mobile platforms, a balance between quality and file size is essential. Use the H.264 format with a resolution of 1280×720 or 1920×1080. Select a moderate bitrate to ensure compatibility and quick uploads.
