Project Settings And Presets

Project Settings

The Project Settings dialog box appears the first time you add a clip to the Timeline. Select a preset and resizing options for your video.

Presets

A preset contains production settings optimized for your intended distribution method: Blog, CD, DVD-Ready, HD, iPhone, iPod, Screencast.com, Web, or YouTube. Select a preset to preview how your final video will look produced at the selected dimensions.

The Production Wizard automatically selects the preset chosen in the Project Settings dialog box to produce what you previewed during editing. For best results, produce your video with this preset.
