Choosing video settings

The first step is to select which encoding profile you wish to use for the clip. A range of encoding profiles exist to allow you to select an appropriate format for the eventual use and location for the video. For example, if the video clip is lengthy or needs to be sent by email, you may decide to use an encoding profile which compresses the result into a file of smaller size (see Converting video in the Getting Familiar chapter to learn more about video settings).

After selecting a profile, click the Next button to continue.
